Leo's Star-Studded Auction Makes Millions For the Environment

Leonardo DiCaprio teamed up with Christie's to co-host the 11th Hour Auction in NYC last night.

Leonardo DiCaprio teamed up with Christie's to co-host the 11th Hour Auction in NYC last night. It was a successful event for Leo since the auction reportedly raised $35 million to benefit environmental and wildlife conservation efforts, almost doubling the goal of $18 million. He had the support of his long-time friend and Great Gatsbyco-star Tobey Maguire, who put in a winning bid on one of 33 pieces of contemporary art. Leo contributed something from his own art collection, a print called "Ocean V" by well-known photographer Andreas Gursky. Also out for the evening were Bradley Cooper, Mark Ruffalo and Salma Hayek.

It was Leonardo's second art-inspired outing in as many days, since he also made an appearance at the Brant Foundation Art Study Center's Andy Warhol showing in Greenwich, Connecticut, on Sunday. He'll be switching gears from art to film in the coming days, though, when he debuts The Great Gatsby in Cannes later this week.

Now You See Me Trailer: Jesse Eisenberg's Got the Magic Touch

Hollywood has seen its share of movies about magicians, but a movie about magicians who are also bank robbers?

Hollywood has seen its share of movies about magicians, but a movie about magicians who are also bank robbers? Now that's something new. In the trailer for Now You See Me, Jesse Eisenberg's character leads a group of illusionists (including Isla Fisher, Woody Harrelson and Dave Franco) in a grand showcase of their talents — and let's just they've got a lot more than card tricks in their bag. In a Robin Hood-esque turn, the team successfully manages to rob a bank during the show and showers the audience in money. Not everyone is impressed, though, and a couple of FBI agents (Mark Ruffalo and Mélanie Laurent) are determined to take them down.

The trailer is fresh and different enough to get me excited about this movie, especially since it features some of my favourite underrated actors (along with ones we all know and love). I'm also glad to see Eisenberg playing something other than the twitchy geek we've seen him play so many times before, and he actually appears to be pulling off cockiness here. Check out the trailer when you read more.

Keira Knightley and Jude Law stepped out for the world premiere of Anna Karenina at London's Leichester Square today. Keira got glamorous in a white Chanel Couture gown while Jude posed in a grey suit. Keira popped up overseas after spending much of the Northern Hemisphere Summer in NYC with her fiancé, James Righton. When she wasn't busy strolling the city streets with James, Keira filmed Can a Song Save Your Life? with costars Mark Ruffalo and Adam Levine. Keira's already lined up yet another project — she'll star opposite Chris Pine in the upcoming Jack Ryan. The movie may take Keira back to the Big Apple since production recently started there for Chris.

Mark Ruffalo Talks About His "Dope" Hulk Transformation in The Avengers

In addition to playing a superhero in The Avengers, Mark Ruffalo had an extra challenge: he's the only newcomer to the core cast.

In addition to playing a superhero in The Avengers, Mark Ruffalo had an extra challenge: he's the only newcomer to the core cast. I sat down with him at the press day for the film, where Ruffalo talked about how he grew up with the Hulk and why he was nervous to take on the role. He also mentioned how excited he was to see himself transform on the big screen, though his daughter was a bit frightened to watch her dad turn into the big green guy.

The Avengers Take Europe as They Look Forward to a Super Opening Weekend

Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston, Scarlett Johansson and Mark Ruffalo were at Rome's De Russie Hotel on Saturday for a stop on The Avengers press tour before the guys headed to Germany, sans Scarlett, for yet another photo call yesterday.

Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston, Scarlett Johansson and Mark Ruffalo were at Rome's De Russie Hotel on Saturday for a stop on The Avengers press tour before the guys headed to Germany, sans Scarlett, for yet another photo call yesterday. The foursome travelled abroad to promote the superhero movie all last week, kicking things off with an appearance in Moscow before moving onto London and then Italy together. The Marvel movie is expected to enjoy a big debut at the box office. Early reviews for The Avengers have been overwhelmingly positive and the movie is estimated to earn as much as The Dark Knight and The Hunger Games each did in their opening weekends. That could easily make The Avengers the biggest first-weekend earner among superhero movies to date. It opens in Australia on April 25.

The Stars of The Avengers Assemble For the Exciting World Premiere

The world premiere of The Avengers was held in LA today and lots of the movie’s big names turned out for the red carpet.

The world premiere of The Avengers was held in LA today and lots of the movie’s big names turned out for the red carpet. Leading lady Scarlett Johansson stole the show in her black Versace dress, but her co-stars suited up handsomely as well. Chris Hemsworth slicked back his long blonde hair and fooled around with his Mjölnir (Thor’s hammer) with some journalists. Robert Downey Jr. wore a purple suit and was accompanied by his wife, Susan, who recently gave birth to their first son together. The film’s villain, Tom Hiddleston, wore a grey suit to the event like Jeremy Renner, who plays archer Hawkeye — Jeremy told media that his character would beat The Hunger Games’ Katniss Everdeen in an archery-off! Also walking the red carpet were Mark Ruffalo, Chris Evans, Samuel L. Jackson and comic book icon Stan Lee.

If you're heading Stateside in April be sure to check out the limited edition tubs of Kiehl’s Rare Earth Deep Pore Cleansing Masque.

If you're heading Stateside in April be sure to check out the limited edition tubs of Kiehl’s Rare Earth Deep Pore Cleansing Masque. The environmentally-friendly brand has partnered with celebs like Florence Welch, Mark Ruffalo, Rosario Dawson and Spike Lee to create limited edition labels for the masks. 100 percent of net profits from the limited edition Rare Earth Deep Pore Cleansing Masque will go to Recycle Across America. Sadly the products won't be coming to Australia so a trip to the US is in order, but you can still pick up the standard pot of Rare Earth Deep Pore Cleansing Masque here for $34. We highly recommend it — it features fairly-traded Amazonian white clay (aka "magic earth") which is renowned for its detoxification powers. Plus, return your empty containers in store and you'll be on the way to getting a free product.

The Super Bowl always includes new previews for exciting blockbusters, and this year's big game came complete with a fresh look at The Avengers. This spot is short and sweet, mostly focusing on seeing the team assemble and prepare for epic battling. Though the first Avengers trailer is more satisfying and in-depth, this little teaser is keeping us excited for the film's April release. Plus, we get a much better look at The Hulk (who actually looks pretty similar to the big green guy we saw in the Ed Norton movie).
