Well, here is my first piece of news to all of you Leo lovers out there! It has been rumoured that the R&J VHS tape will be released on March 28, 1997!! That made my day when I found it! Also, the second soundtrack for R&J is supposed to be out some time in February.

Sorry it has taken me so long to update this part of my site, I have been busy, but here is all the stuff I could find!
Leo is the answer of two in this week's People Magazine crossword puzzle. They also have a nice pic of him!
The June issue of Tiger Beat(which hits news stands March 4) will have a contest to win the R&J video, before it comes out in stores!
The May 1997 issue of BB Magazine has an article on how Leo takes too many risks! There is also a pinup and a centerfold!
According to Miramax Cafe, and under the notable changes for Miramax Films, it is said that "Marvin's Room" will open on Dec 18 and expand to other screens on Feb 28, 1997. Since Miramax is the company that did "Marvin's Room", you would think that they would get their dates right!
Anyone who wants merchandise for the R&J movie, here is all the info I could find!!
For the poster, lobby cards, 8x10's, call 1-800-252-0425 (Rick's Movie Graphics);for the CD ROM call 1-800-999-9756 (The CD-ROM Shop);for the book, go to your nearest book store and if they don't have it, they will order it for you; and for the soundtrack, they will have it at your nearest Music Store!
In the March issue of 'Teen Magazine, it reports that everyone was surprised to see Leo DiCaprio bring Kristin Zang to the R&J premiere, becauseonly a few short months before, he seemed very much in love with Bijou Phillips (model). Though I wasn't able to find Kristin Zang's age, I did, however find Bijou's. Keep up hope, some of you younger Leo fans! Bijou Phillips is 16 years old!!
All of Feb 24's info is from this great site!
Thurs, March 6, 1997
Hello! I recently saw Marvin's Room and I thought it was one of Leo's best movies! Anyone who hasn't seen it, should definitely see it as soon as possible!! I also got the the Marvin's Room soundtrack, which was a little pricey, but hey! Its worht it! There is only one song that has lyrics on it and the rest is instrumental, but one of my alternative-freak friends listened to it and said it was "pretty cool classical!".
The release date for R&J has hopefully been set for good for April the 8th and the soundtrack is rumored to be coming out on April the 8th too! I don't know for sure about the soundtrack, though!!
A final note, Leo is in the Enquirer! It has an article saying that he spent a "romantic night with Demi Moore"!! In fact, he was only working on a screen test with her! There are a lot of good pics of him though, especially wearing normal clothes!

In the May issue of 16 Magazine, in the Q&A section, a girl from Pennsylvania
writes: "Does Leo date girls 4 years younger than he is?" the answer: "Leo doesn't
put age restrictions on his dates, he went out with Bijou Phillips when she was 16
years old."
In the April 1997, issue of YM magazine Leo is featured in two pages. There is also a
sweepstakes for the Modern Day Romeo book. Top ten winners will win it.
Leo won, Leo won
Leonardo DiCaprio won the Blockbuster
Entertainment Award for Best Actor in a Romance
movie for his role as Romeo in Romeo & Juliet
I heard that when the Romeo and Juliet VHS tape comes out, it will be more expensive than
other films, I don't know if this is true though. I also heard that there will be never-before-seen
footage, behind the scenes stuff, as well as interviews with the cast on the video.
Here's a piece of trivia you might find interesting. Before they found Claire Danes, 15 yr old
actress Natalie Portman (of the Professional) was signed to play Juliet. Leonardo nixed her,
though, saying she was too young and he would feel uncomfortable.
The info used for the March 18 news is from this R&J site
