...giant, hairy man is pushing Leonardo DiCaprio on a cart through a supermarket, and no one is looking. I'm expecting European paparazzi, women with Sharpies offering their decolletage, or at least furtive glances from other shoppers. Nothing. Not even when DiCaprio, wearing a cap and glasses, gets off the cart and awkwardly lifts it over a cereal-aisle blockade. "You see, dawg.

...Heartthrob Leonardo DiCaprio complained about his larger-than-life image during the premiere of "The Beach," his newest flick. He said he hoped people would still recognize his work as an actor...
