Leonardo DiCaprio and Gigi Hadid spend the most romantic night of the year together (Halloween Monday)
It's Gossip Time!
Hello and welcome to Gossip Time, a weekly guide to the stars by Allie Jones. This week: Leo DiCaprio wears a scary mask, Dane Cook reveals his family plans with his 24-year-old fiancée, and Zac Efron debuts another exciting look.
This year’s celebrity Halloween costumes were a mixed bag as usual. On the high end, we got Heidi Klum as Worm, and on the low, we got Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly as some kind of BDSM priest situation. And then there was Leonardo DiCaprio, who didn’t even try. According to Page Six, he wore a “scary mask” that was “half monster, half zombie” to an EDM dance party at the Brooklyn Navy Yard on Monday. Cool!
The tabloids have feverishly reported on this 47-year-old’s lame choice of disguise because he attended said party with Gigi Hadid, whom he has been rumored to be dating for two months now, despite the fact that she is old (27). Time flies: It seems like just yesterday that the lovebirds were photographed lightly touching each other’s shoulders at a club during New York Fashion Week.
Now, according to People, DiCaprio and Hadid are still touching each other’s shoulders whenever it’s convenient for both of them. They “are seeing each other in N.Y.C. when they can,” a source told the tabloid, adding that Hadid is having “fun dating Leo.” And why wouldn’t she? He is clearly a fun guy who knows about all the sickest Halloween dance parties marketed to 20-year-olds.
Page Six reports that DiCaprio and Hadid pulled up to the Navy Yard in a party bus alongside Hadid’s sister Bella Hadid, the model Irina Shayk (who sure seems to be back together with Bradley Cooper), and DiCaprio’s longtime party friend Helly Nahmad. A source told Entertainment Tonight, “Gigi and Leo had a great time and kept things low-key while at the party,” adding that “they danced by their table” with the model Stella Maxwell and “stayed late into the night.”
Dancing next to a table with another former Victoria’s Secret Angel? This IS getting serious. And good thing, too, because according to People’s mysterious source, Hadid is really into it. “She seems very happy and excited about seeing him,” the source said. “She is attracted to him. He treats her really well. She finds him mature and charming.”
Imagine Hadid saying those exact words. Yes, I can picture it perfectly. Can’t wait to see which pop-up club DiCaprio takes her to for Thanksgiving.
Speaking of old guys, Dane Cook, 50, is super pumped to have kids with his 24-year-old fiancée named Kelsi. The comedian told People this week that he “can’t wait, to be very honest with you.”
“I'm just excited at the possibility,” he explained. “Her sister just had her second baby and I love seeing her with the kid. She loves it and I love kids. When the time is right, we'll check it out.”
Cook and Miss Kelsi, a pilates instructor from Nevada, got engaged back in July and started dating over five years ago when Kelsi was 18. Their 26-year age difference is just funny to them, not a big deal or anything. “We knew going into the relationship, we knew that people would have an opinion in the public eye,” Cook told People. “But mostly, we were very early making jokes where I would say something like, ‘I’d love to have a family,’ and she would say, ‘Oh, I’d love to have a family when I’m young,’ and I’d say, ‘Well, I’d like that as well because I'd like to hold my children on my deathbed.’”
Ha ha! Perhaps Cook can get some parenting advice from David Foster, who also talked to People recently about being an old dad. (Is this what everyone wants to click on now? I guess I’m part of the problem.) In the course of promoting his new Christmas album with his fifth wife, the secret Republican Katharine McPhee, Foster said he does not regret becoming a father again in his 70s. McPhee, 38, gave birth to the couple’s first child together (and Foster’s sixth overall) last year.
“I've loved every single day,” Foster, 72, said of life with his new son. “It’s the standard thing of like, ‘Oh, well you were so young when you had your children and you were working day and night, you never saw them.’ And there is some truth to that, sadly, for my [older] kids. I was just working a lot. Even though I'm working a lot now, I’ll cancel anything just to hang with him. It’s just different.”
I’m sure his older kids, who range in age from 36 to 52, love hearing that so much.
I’m sorry, I know we did this last week, but I have to show you one more photo of Zac Efron on the set of the upcoming A24 wrestling movie The Iron Claw.
Okay, now you’ve seen it.
