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.

Reese Witherspoon made a smiley arrival at NYC's JFK airport with her husband, Jim Toth, last night. Reese is back to blond after she debuted her newly dyed locks at her son Deacon's soccer game in Brentwood on Saturday. She was previously sporting a darker 'do for her role in the upcoming film The Good Lie, which she filmed in Atlanta over the past month. During her stay in Georgia, Reese got into legal trouble when she was arrested for disorderly conduct while Jim was charged with a DUI. The duo seem to be moving on from the drama, though, and are getting back to their busy schedules, including their current East Coast trip.

Bradley Cooper dressed up in a suit for a visit to Late Night With Jimmy Fallon yesterday in NYC. While promoting the finale of his Hangover trilogy, The Hangover Part III, which hits theaters next Thursday, May 23, Bradley also got into a competitive game of what host Jimmy branded "faceketball." He strapped a mini basketball hoop to his head and geared up for the challenge by shedding his jacket and telling Jimmy to do the same, saying, "Jackets off, bro!" He also spoke about his Oscar nomination as well as former and current costar Jennifer Lawrence during the stop. "She's the best and we're doing a movie right now and she plays a sick character, I mean sick like from the Bronx, and she just kills it."

It was a busy start to the week for Bradley, who engaged in a bit of charitable bidding that same day. Bradley attended Leonardo DiCaprio's Christie's art auction, which benefited Leo's foundation supporting environmental protection and conservation efforts. He wasn't the only star in attendance as he was joined by Tobey Maguire, Salma Hayek, and Mark Ruffalo for the auction.

Natalie Portman and her son, Aleph, visited a friend's home in LA on Friday. Natalie got to spend quality time with her almost 2-year-old boy ahead of Mother's Day yesterday. While Alpeh was the main man in her life on Friday, news recently broke that she has been assigned a new leading man on the big screen.

Jane Got a Gun is not the only project in which Natalie has a hot costar lined up. She is also set to star as Lady Macbeth in the big-screen adaptation of William Shakespeare's Macbeth opposite Michael Fassbender.

Kate Upton got sexy in a swimsuit for the cover of the June issue of US Vogue. The go-to cover girl for the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition is making waves in more than just modeling. Along with making her debut on American Vogue, she is taking her talents to the big screen. Kate is currently filming The Other Woman alongside Cameron Diaz and Leslie Mann in NYC. She's known for her figure, but has also faced criticism for her curvaceous physique. In the magazine, she addresses her critics and also reveals her confidence, opening up about loving her body, growing into her figure in her native Florida, as well as her next career moves. Here is more from Kate Upton in Vogue:

  • On criticism over her figure: "It was hard at first. You sit there and you're like 'Is something wrong with me?' The things that they're rejecting are things that I can't change. I can't change my bra size. They're natural! I can work out and I can stay healthy and motivated, but I can't change some things. I really just live my life. I love my body. It's what God gave me! I feel confident with myself, and if that inspires other women to feel confident with their bodies, great."
  • On feeling comfortable with her body growing up: "In Miami, boobs are fantastic. I was so proud of them. I was so excited. Are you kidding? I'm in Florida, and I'm constantly in bikinis. I was like, 'Yes! Killing it! All the girls on the beach are gonna be so jealous!'"
  • On making it big: "If I'm going to make it as a model, I've got to be a celebrity. My work seems to be my priority at this point in my life. I never set out to be on the runway. I feel like I trust my career path. Acting I'm very interested in. I'm American — more is more!"
