Leo DiCaprio loves 'The Millionaire Matchmaker'Looks like a certain Hollywood millionaire is a titanic fan of Patti Stanger. "At Laker game, I hear a voice: 'Love your show.' It's gorgeous Leonardo DiCaprio," the "Millionaire Matchmaker" star tweeted on Sunday. "I have officially died and gone to heaven." She's not the only one. Following that tweet, one of Stanger's followers wanted in on the action and asked to be added to Stanger's database if DiCaprio becomes a client. "Uh, that would be 'no,'" responded Stanger, "because he already has the hottest Jewish girl alive: Bar [Refaeli]." Indeed, Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Refaeli, 25, has been dating DiCaprio, 36, since 2005. But it's nice to know that if things don't work out, he's got Stanger to help him get back into the dating game. "The Millionaire Matchmaker" airs on Tuesdays at 9 p.m. on Bravo.

Ed Westwick added to J. Edgar Hoover biopicClint Eastwood's J. Edgar Hoover biopic just got a new cast member: "Gossip Girl" star Ed Westwick. Deadline.com reports that the 23-year-old British actor has signed on to play Agent Smith, a clean-cut operative hired by Hoover (Leonardo DiCaprio) to write his biography. But things suddenly turn tricky when Smith gets a little too close to the truth. Meanwhile Charlize Theron, who was attached to play Hoover's personal secretary Helen Gandy, has decided not to do "J. Edgar" in favor of playing the Evil Queen in the live-action fairy tale "Snow White and the Huntsman." Director Eastwood is reportedly eyeing Naomi Watts and Amy Adams as her replacement. Meanwhile, Vulture reports that Theron is also being wooed to appear in Ridley Scott's upcoming "Alien" prequel. Scott is said to be casting Swedish "Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" star Noomi Rapace in the lead, but Theron is being considered for the part of sexy fortysomething crew member Vickers.
