Cara Delevingne, 20, refused Leo DiCaprio’s advances, lunging in Cannes

Bedhead referenced this in her earlier story about a possible love triangle (douche triangle) with Cara Delevingne, Rihanna and Chris Brown. For whatever reason, Cara is all over the place these days, and by that I mean that she’s the new big gossip/scandal-worthy model. We haven’t had a big scandalous model in a while, and if Cara is it, that’s fine with me. She’s 20 years old, she’s considered one of the “next big things” among models and her eyebrows drive me up the wall. To me she shall always be Eyebrows McCokeface, although after this story I have to give her some begrudging respect.

So last week, the UK tabloids were trying to make Cara and Leonardo DiCaprio a thing. It was said that Leo invited Cara specifically to Cannes so that she could “audition” to be his next hookup/model girlfriend. I didn’t really believe that Leo invited her and that’s why she came to Cannes, although she did come to Cannes and she did walk the red carpet for The Great Gatsby, so maybe there was something there. Sources now tell Page Six/Life & Style that Leo was all over Cara at the Gatsby after-party and she wasn’t having any of it:

Leonardo DiCaprio’s latest model target is Britain’s Cara Delevingne — but for once he doesn’t seem to be having much luck. The actor, 38, begged the beauty, 20, for her phone number at Cannes, reports Life & Style.

“Leo kept hitting on her at the ‘Great Gatsby’ bash at Cannes,” a source tells the magazine. “He even lunged at her at one point, and she dodged him.”

But DiCaprio, who’s dated top models including Gisele Bündchen and Bar Refaeli, wouldn’t give up: “He was begging her to go back to his hotel room, but she declined.”

Eventually, the source said, Delevingne gave him her number, but we’re not so sure she’s into him.

[From Page Six]

This sounds remarkably similar to a story in The Sun (which Bedhead referenced) in which a source claimed that:

“Normally all Leo has to do is look at a girl and they fall at his feet. Though Cara was having none of it. He spent the night chasing after her and essentially she blew him out. They spoke and he was pretty forward inviting her to a party back at his suite. They swapped numbers but that was it. He tried every trick in the book and apparently kept lunging for her but she kept dodging them. Everyone is howling at the fact she actually knocked back the biggest actor in the world. She thought he was too forward and too old.”

A source close to Leo hit back last night and said the two never spoke.

[From The Sun]

So Leo’s story is that he never even tried anything with Eyebrows? Eh. I will believe that Leo was trying to add Cara to his list of Victoria’s Secret Models Banged By Leo, but does Leo really have to work this hard for girls? Isn’t Leo’s rep – in general – as the guy who doesn’t have to work for anything? Maybe he really is getting older (he’s 40!) and the girls don’t fall at his feet with the same steadiness as they used to.

    What’s with her blotchy skin?

    • Aussie girl says:

      Is it a reflection from the diamond necklace???

    • Jennykins says:

      I think she has exzema or psoriasis. There was noise on some blind gossip sites that she was getting beaten (her choice or not was up to interpretation), but it sounded like the bruises were from the skin condition too.

      • marie says:

        you beat me to it, but yeah I think it’s one of those. It happens to my cousin’s chest whenever she gets anything resembling a tan.

      • Greta says:

        Some people are allergic to too much sun. It’s quite frustrating, but after a few days in a warm climate, the allergy begins.

    • Talie says:

      She has psoriasis, during the most recent fashion week it really flared up bad and covered her body, but she seems to deal with it well.

    • Babalon says:

      She’s lovely, is ROCKING her little imperfections and said no to Leo the Douchebag?

      I’m a new fan. Have no idea what she’s in but I’m a fan now. Good for you, Girlie!

    • xxx says:

      I think in this case it is the diamonds reflecting light back onto her skin.

    • Nina W says:

      Looks like vitiligo to me.

  2. Lucy says:

    I must be in the minority but I like her eyebrows

    • Talie says:

      Love them too.

      • Sabrine says:

        I love her eyebrows.

        That doesn’t look like exzema or psoriasis. It looks like she’s missing pigment in those areas. I have a spot just like that on my arm. It’s white and has no pigment.

    • Badirene says:

      Me too, as the owner of a pair of thick eyebrows its nice to see a celeb not plucked into oblivion. Gives me hope for the day that people stop telling me to “thin out” mine.

      • Lflips says:

        I love a full brow! There’s something really lush about it, so long as it isn’t a full uni-brow.

      • YuYa says:

        Same here. I don’t know why people pluck their eyebrows into oblivion. Eyebrows are the frame to your face. So, instead of enjoying the ornate frame the universe gives you, you would rather have a cheap plastic IKEA frame?

        As a proud big eyebrow lady, I am enjoying this trend. And I love that freckles are now hot. FINALLY I can enjoy my freckles!

    • Lupe says:

      Yep! Love them!

    • littlestar says:

      I also love them. I love a nice thick brow, on myself and others.

    • Rachel says:

      Moi aussi. I prefer a full brow. They’re not heavy, and they’re well shaped. Let the sharpie eyebrows DIE.

    • Bsnol says:

      Love them too!

  3. Lizzie says:

    Kind of impressed with her if this is true. She was linked with Harry Styles from One Direction a few months back, so maybe Leo D seemed like a old man to her.
    Hilarious on his end if it’s true, those photos of him yesterday with the hat and chain around his neck and his hands in the air dancing were just so cringey!

    • TG says:

      I know @Lizzie I saw those photos on Lainey and laughed so hard. They were douchetastic. LOL

  4. Mar says:

    I don’t know why but I’m really into her. Not sure what’s going on with her chest here lol.
    Her MET look was by far my favorite of the night.

    • Pastyousayyouneverknew says:

      +1 I thought I was alone on here but I totally dig Ms Delevigne 🙂

  5. Ava says:

    “Eyebrows McCokeface”

    Brilliant. Perfect description and made me laugh.

  6. Toot says:

    Leo doesn’t want any of these chicks he’s shown with. His true love is Lukas Haas. Yes, I believe that completely. lol

  7. QQ says:

    UGH he is so clammy and doughy and gross

  8. Shelley says:

    She is a troll compared to Gisele and Bar.. I just do not buy into the whole story that he is after her.

  9. JonahT says:

    The blotchy skin on her chest is just the camera flash light refracting from the necklace.

    Also, why so offended by her eyebrows? Because they’re not the usual overplucked and lightened thing? I think Cara is way overexposed but she seems pretty natural and low-maintenance, which is quite nice to see. Plus she has a sense of humour. I have no idea whether she’s a raging druggie party girl or a total bitch in real life, but she’s a versatile model and stands out, which you can’t argue is a good thing in that industry!

    • Lulu.T.O. says:

      No, it’s not a reflection. Google her – I’ve seen pics where her belly is covered as well.

    • Nerd Alert says:

      If that were true, the blotches would be different at different angles, but they’re not. Pick a blotch and compare it in two different pics–same size, same location and shape.

      Poor girl’s got psoriasis.

  10. Micki says:

    My husband has just seen her photo for a first time and said: “She’s truly tarted up, isn’t she”

  11. Jag says:

    Nothing is wrong. Many 20 year old ladies want to date guys around their age, and think that anything over 30 is just way too old. I know I did back then! I like that she stood her ground and didn’t give into the money and fame aspect of it. Kudos to her!

  12. J7 says:

    She has exceptionally long thumbs…

    She also reminds me of Margot Hemingway.

  13. doofus says:

    meh, I kind of like her eyebrows because they’re NOT plucked to oblivion…though she could groom/thin them a BIT.

  14. dcypher1 says:

    She does need to do something about that eyebrow situation going on. Pluck ur brows girl.

    • xxx says:

      Why on earth would she do that? They are her money-makers, her point of difference. They make her a lot of money and they make her unique. I don’t understand why people have this response to her eyebrows, they’re large but they’re well-shaped and she looks beautiful. Why does everyone have to have skinny little brows?

  15. whybenice says:

    I have to stop drinking coffee when I’m enjoying your entries. “Eyebrows McCokeface” sounds like the next great supervillain for one the of the franchises. Now I have to go dry a few things.

  16. Skins says:

    McCokeface doesn’t do much for me but thumbs up for turning down that douche

  17. booboocita says:

    Well, if everyone on Celebitchy knows Leo’s an old dog, he’s got to have some sort of reputation in Hollywood and similar places by now. If you were on the cusp of becoming “the big new thing,” would you want to be associated with some much older dude who at this point is almost better known for hitting on models than for his acting?

  18. Annie says:

    Yeah, I believe it. Leo loves his 20 year old models. This one’s the next big thing. I also believe her not being interested, because what 20 year old is into almost 40 year old men? And we’ve seen pics of Leo all over girls before. He’s getting skeezy. This is not 2001 anymore, and he has not gotten the memo. Maybe not all girls want him.

    • Nina W says:

      Well he doesn’t exactly take care of himself, he’s kind of let himself go a little, he could look good again if he lost a couple pounds and firmed things up.

  19. Miss M says:

    Wasn’t this girl who got a knife and cut her neck in a party in front of all guests (allegedly)?

    • taxi says:

      Yes.

      She also got papped spilling white powder from a glassine bag outside her front door.

      She likes her guys younger than Leo.

    • Lilix40 says:

      Wait, what?! Where did you see that story?!

  20. E says:

    She has a boyfriend who is around her age, slightly younger, 18 I think and he’s a singer.

  21. NerdMomma says:

    Aw, he’s finally getting to the point where he can look back and see that his ex-girlfriends have married and had children, and the young ones don’t want him. We all age, Leo. Time to either settle down with a nice girl your own age, or ride off into the sunset with George Clooney.

    • balehead2012 says:

      “ride off into the sunset with George Clooney” LOL, that made me really laugh. Thanks for the mental picture, that’s hilarious 🙂

  22. Dutchy says:

    I just love Leo, forever and ever 🙂

    (has not much to do with this post, but who cares? :))

  23. RobN says:

    Any chance she’s smart enough to know that making him chase a little ups his interest level?

  24. Winnie says:

    She looks so young to me. Like a teenager wearing a lot of makeup. Especially noticeable in the pic on the Rihanna post. Leo gets older and the girls get younger and younger looking.

  25. Kristen says:

    I dont think its that seamless for him anymore. Jlaw turned him down also. He dates a certain type of women, lightweights, who have something to gain from being with him, like Blake Lively and various victoria secret models who become more famous through being with him and thus gets a career push. Women who are independenly minded and have their own thing going on probably dont find him as irresistable because they are not interested in that type of man. He doesnt seem to be looking for an equal partner so that rules out a woman with a stronger personality. Also he IS getting old. There are, believe it or not, 20 year olds who arent attracted to men that are pushing 40 even if they are super famous

    • DreamyK says:

      Well said. I can’t imagine going out with a guy who still acts like a frat boy regarding women (i.e. disposable and plentiful).

    • ViktoryGin says:

      Well stated. Time is a great equalizer.

      I, for one, cannot muster any respect for these men whose sense of power and self-worth are contingent upon upstaging the women in their lives (that goes for women who act this way as well)…George Clooney, Seth McFarlane. This alone can make a 50- year-old man look 5 to me. Like a child who whines about losing a game for which he is ill-matched and demands that you let him win because he can’t. F*cking pathetic.

  26. Maria says:

    i dont think highly of her but if she told Leo “you are too old” she is in my book of cool people.

  27. Mia 4S says:

    I don’t know who this lady is and I don’t care…I would however like to send her a thank you card for the best laugh I’ve had today from the visual of her blowing off Leo.

    Staying single is fine Leo, sleeping around is fine too; but after a certain age it requires a certain technique and tact. You’re not a 22 year old club rat anymore.

    • 2000 says:

      No, he isnt`t but unfortunately he hasn`t realized that yet. Have you seen those photos of him in Cannes in a club the other day? He looks and acts like he is still 20.

      • ViktoryGin says:

        Correction:

        He looks like he’s 40; Tries to act 20.

        He may not be able to see, but the rest of us sure can.

  28. Abby says:

    Wow cara looks completely different here than she did on the Rihanna post. I can’t believe it’s the same girl.

  29. InVain says:

    Not sure why, but the only word that comes to mind here is ‘yucky’….about everything. Him. Her. It. Them. All. Of. It.

    Yucky.

  30. Reece says:

    Good for her but not entirely surprising. She doesn’t need his money or fame. She comes from that rich/aristo family with a bunch of half sis/bros cause the original parents remarried over and over. The one with Isabella (Calthorpe) Branson. You know the woman that kept shooting down Pr. William. Harry’s supposed gf is another one.

    • Sachi says:

      You’re probably thinking of Gabriella Wilde who is also a model and is the half-sister of Isabella Calthorpe. As far as I know, Cara is not related to Isabella’s family at all.

  31. Hmmm says:

    Why nobody referencing the OTHER Sun article on her from a few weeks ago where she was leaving her house and dropped her purse and a BAGGIE OF COKE fell out and she hurriedly hid it with sliding her foot over her purse and dragging it over the baggie. How she stay so skinny? The Coke Diet… LOL

  32. magpie says:

    Take away the money and the fame and Leo is just a paunchy 40 year old frat boy. Cara already has her own cash and A list access to everything.

    Then again this could be a story pushed by her people because really, what’s better than dating Dicaprio? Denying Dicaprio.

  33. Littlewood says:

    Oh please, am I the only one not believing a word of this crap? This sounds like a little fluff piece written by her PR team to make it seem she’s the hottest shit in modeling at the moment (see, even Leo D. wants her!). Has he ever taken any of his actual girlfriends to a premiere of one of his movies? And then why would he do so for someone “auditioning” to be one? He’s notoriously private, he’ll invite her to his home in New York not to friggin Cannes! He’s also seen parting with a dozen different models and not one of them was Cara.

    • YuYa says:

      Exactly. Not that I am a huge Leo fan, but she is not his type at all. Sure, a model. Leo just seems to go for more of a classic/blonde exotic beauty look.

      Cara is a little more trashy looking. She’s very pretty, but, is not on the same level as Giselle looks wise.

    • ---- says:

      Notoriously private yet the whole world can see him partying all over Cannes instead of going to the premiere of his movie in Sydney.
      I believe he might have tried but she wasn`t into him and the story got blown out of proportion ( maybe by her people ).

    • ViktoryGin says:

      Oh, but I sooooo want this to be true.

    • Elle says:

      Thank you! Someone else can see this is bullshit. She wishes she was as hot as gisele and bar.

  34. yolo112 says:

    I’m not impressed by either of them. I don’t know a lot about Cara, but I’m baffled by giving her the “super model” title. I think she has an air of wildness and dirty about her. She looks like she would tear Leo apart if he did get her. EW. Ew to both of them. Man, he’s almost 40?? So, is he the new George of a younger generation?

  35. Respect. [chest bump twice and peace sign]

  36. Lauren says:

    I’ve said it before on the last story with her and Leo, Cara is dating british musician Jake Bugg so of course she’d refuse Leo. Jake is actually around her age like only two years younger not a whole decade and then some older like Leo. I like Leo but he needs to stop trying to get with everyone and everything.

  37. Claudia says:

    Just one thing: he’s not 40 yet, he will be 39 in November.

  38. mimi says:

    Leo “even lunged at her”?!
    What does that even mean?

    Perhaps she didn’t want to get intimate with her skin like this, and he is way too old for her.

    Why is he even trying to hook up with someone so much younger than him?
    He is old enough to be her father.

    Plus, does that mean he is into women or is that some sort of a deal of “being his girlfriend” for a while in exchange for the media coverage.

    • Nerd Alert says:

      I imagined he was doing workout lunges in a tuxedo at a party. “See? Look what I can do! NOW can I have your number?”

    • Nina W says:

      I’ve had to dodge lungers at parties, haven’t you? Never let them corner you, that’s when they’ll grow an extra pair of hands and start breathing heavy.

  39. Thiajoka says:

    He did not age well and looks way older than 39 or 40. I’m so offended that he was picked to play Gatsby.

    • ViktoryGin says:

      God, I was so pissed at this casting. But considering that Luhrmann, himself, did a bang-up job with that acid trip that he tried to pass off as a film, I feel vindicated.

    • Nina W says:

      I haven’t seen it yet but it will be hard to get Redford out of my head. Someone how I don’t think DiCaprio will linger in my mind the same way.

  40. Nerd Alert says:

    I don’t think it’s that he doesn’t have to try, I think he is a conquest guy. So, instead of just banging whomever throws themselves at him, he gets satisfaction from choosing someone, making a sport of it, and then notching his bedpost once the lay is over. Like January Jones (couldn’t resist!)

    I’m sort of glad she’s not playing into it.

  41. drea says:

    Meh. Maybe I buy that he flirted with her a bit, but I don’t for, one second, believe that he did anything close to lunging. Not for this girl. Sounds like just another PR story sent out by her people to make her appear desirable and in demand. Please.

  42. MyCatLovesTV says:

    Isn’t it common knowledge that Leo refuses to use deodorant and thinks bathing regularly wastes water? I don’t care if the guy had money taped to his body, if he smells, I can’t handle it!

  43. well... says:

    I’m not sure whether the story is true but it’s not hard to believe. Leo is pushing 40 but the girls he is after somehow doesn’t age. He might be rich and famous but he is an aging womanizer with a reputation. I doubt at this point it’s such an attraction even if he brings attention and more jobs for the girls.
    There is a rumor that he is with Toni Garn, another 20 years old model but given the fact that he is seen with different women every night in Cannes I doubt he is seeing someone.
    True story or not that last paragraph is spot on!

  44. Nicolette says:

    Don’t know who she is, but I like the dress.

  45. ViktoryGin says:

    My, my how the tides turn.

    Remember when this dude was the hottest actor on earth like 15 years ago?(Physically speaking)

    I’ve never been attracted to him. Never.

  46. TOPgirl says:

    She’s gorgeous! But Leo is wayyyy too old for her. I’m serious! She can date a sexier man.

  47. Jolinda says:

    IDK. I kinda like her. She’s not boring at all… Very distinctive.

  48. Thora says:

    “She thought he was too forward and too old” What the press are reading people’s minds now? But I agree that Leo has reached the age where not every model he meets is going to be a fate de complete. He better marry the next Victoria Seceret model he bags before he loses his ability to get one.

  49. Lisa says:

    She doesn’t want to be drawn like one of his French girls?

  50. Mark says:

    He’s pathetic.

    Obviously screwed up and must have every disease on the planet.

    GaRooss!!!

    He’s a lousy actor as well. bore zone.

    go back to Jack Nicholson!

  51. Brauughshhh says:

    I like this model for her denial of him in particular, and her weird faces.

  52. Joanna says:

    this girl’s got a kick butt pr team. never heard of here before a week ago; now there’s several posts on her.

  53. manta says:

    I know that some people found a Margaux Hemingway resemblance but she also reminds me of Susan Dey.

    I just watched some episodes of L.A. Law (I know, prehistoric TV) and she could be her twin.

  54. Nibbi says:

    Chick definitely knows how to smolder, i’ll give her that.

  55. serena says:

    SHe’s really beautiful and totally right, he’s too damn old for her.
