...That would be Leonardo DiCaprio, the Prius Prince of Hollywood, who narrates The 11th Hour, and gets a producing credit as well.

DiCaprio's lightly goateed presence, framed against open skies and dizzy cityscapes, serves the film well, which is to say he's a lot more bearable over the course of 90 minutes than Al Gore.

And what chance does a premiere by minimalist Taiwan master Hou Hsiao-hsien have when, that same morning, U.S. comedian Jerry Seinfeld is promoting his cartoon feature Bee Movie by dressing in a bee costume and flying, on guy wires, from...
...ceremony in which the fighters stand on a scale in their underwear. On fight night, 19 HBO television cameras followed the action with one dedicated to getting facial reactions from the fifty deep contingent of celebrities, including Helen Mirren, Sacha Baron Cohen, Sean Combs, Tobey Maguire, Russell Crowe, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Jennifer Lopez, whose husband, Marc Anthony crooned the national anthem...
