Leonardo DiCaprio and best mate Tobey Maguire’s party at private London club after BFI talk

Occasional Digest - a story for you

MANY celebs these days are pretty boring and spend their nights drinking matcha tea with LED masks strapped to their faces rather than falling out of clubs after a booze- filled night.

But Leonardo DiCaprio is bucking the clean-living trend and is busy proving he is still one of Hollywood’s most hardcore partiers.

One of my Mayfair moles told me the Titanic actor headed to posh members-only club Annabel’s in London on Tuesday night, after appearing at the BFI Southbank to talk about his new action ­comedy film, One Battle After Another.

Leo partied with his best pal Tobey Maguire until the early hours.

“Leo came in to Annabel’s and ­settled in for a big night with his mate,” my insider said.

“ He’d been at the BFI on the Southbank and came for a private dinner.

“It coincided with their Christmas light switch on which was really special.

“Alexandra Burke performed and it was an amazing evening.

“Leo and Tobey got food as well and, as you’d expect, there were plenty of female fans hanging around to enjoy a drink with them.

“They absolutely love Leo at Annabel’s because he’s a big spender and a nice guy — there’s never any trouble and he’s really low-key.

“He stayed until around 12;30am ­yesterday before leaving with Tobey.”

After One Battle After Another came out in September, Leo is now waiting on the green light for his next big movie role.

He is being lined up to star in Michael Mann’s sequel to 1995 cult classic Heat.

Leo is said to be in the frame to take the role of Chris Shiherlis, who was played by Val Kilmer in the original.

Christian Bale is now in talks to come on board too, with the final cast yet to be ­confirmed.

Heat is one of my all-time favourite films but to this day I still scream in frustration about why Robert De Niro‘s master criminal Neil McCauley chose to scupper his own escape by ­stopping off to kill the evil Waingro.

You should have gone straight to the plane, Neil. You fool.

ROSIE’S LAID BACK STYLE

IT’S little wonder Rosalia needed a lie-down on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon – because she had to try to teach him how to sing.

The Spanish star, whose new album Lux reached No4 in the charts last Friday, warned US host Jimmy that “some songs are harder than others” before she got him to have a bash at singing her hit La Perla.

To put it kindly, Rosalia had her work cut out with Jimmy’s vocals, but luckily for her fans she then got up on stage to give her own rather more tuneful performance of the song.

Fans will next see Rosalia on screen in the third season of teen drama Euphoria.

She kept schtum about which part she will be taking on but opened up about juggling the recording of Lux with filming the hit HBO series.

Rosalia said: “I had to divide my mind between both, and it was the first time, also, that I was doing something like this – preparing a character and studying lines.

“These are new things for me. It’s very different from making an album and making music.”

POSH’S SPICY CRUZ TRACK

I THOUGHT hell would freeze over before I saw Victoria Beckham singing a Spice Girls song again, but it seems her son Cruz’s passion for music is ­rubbing off on her.

The fledgling musician posted a video on Instagram yesterday playing the guitar and singing the girl group’s 1998 No1 Viva Forever – duetting with his make-up-free mum, Posh.

And props to Victoria, she sounded pretty good during the jam session in their living room, although I wasn’t quite as keen when husband DAVID joined in with some falsetto backing vocals.

He commented on the video: “Sorry, I ruined it.”

I can’t help but feel like this is a clue, after months of discussions that the Spice Girls will do something together to mark their 30th ­anniversary in 2026.

Last month, Victoria even said the idea of a residency at Las Vegas venue Sphere was “tempting”.

The vocal cords are warmed up, so shout when you’re ready to Spice Up Your Life, Posh.

ACE MYLES BASTILLES THE SHOW

BASTILLE brought their From All Sides tour to an end with a massive show at London’s O2 Arena, where they were joined on stage by one of my ­favourite stars of 2025, Luton-born Myles Smith.

The band, celebrating 15 years together, played their 2012 hit Flaws with Myles amid a mighty set which saw them play tracks covering their entire career.

Emotional frontman Dan Smith told the crowd: “It’s f***ing mental that we’re allowed to play here.

“We’ve been away for a ­couple of years and it’s very surreal being back up on this stage.”

Bastille played ten dates across the country and debuted their new single Save My Soul, ahead of its release tomorrow.

It’s been a while since their last proper album, so I’m ­hoping they’ll get back in the studio soon to get the next one done.

ZAYN: I’M JUST LIKE EMINEM

ZAYN MALIK has revealed he practised singing Mario’s Let Me Love You for a whole year before auditioning for The X Factor.

The former One Direction star spoke to BBC Radio 1 in a special interview last night, which you can listen back to now on BBC Sounds.

During the chat, Zayn said: “I listened to this a lot around the time when I was first starting to sing. Probably around 15 or 16, I started taking it more seriously.

“I practised that song for about a year before I went on X Factor and sang that as my first audition song.

“It has a near and dear place in my heart. It is the song that changed my life.”

Bradford-born Zayn also said he felt a synergy with Eminem and compared his life growing up in the north to the US rapper’s tough upbringing in Detroit.

Zayn added: “I remember watching Eight Mile for the first time when I was growing up in Bradford and that movie inspired me.

“It felt like he was growing up in a similar environment to me. The things he overcame and did were incredibly inspiring.

“Eminem will always be one of the top rappers in my book.”

ARIANA’S GRANDE FINALE

ARIANA GRANDE has hinted her upcoming Eternal Sunshine Tour could be the last time her fans see her perform live for a long time.

The We Can’t Be Friends singer has admitted she can’t see herself getting back on stage for years once she takes her final bow at London’s O2 Arena on September 1 next year.

Ariana said: “I don’t want to say any definitive things. I do know that I’m very excited to do this small tour, but I think it might not happen again for a long, long, long, long time.

“I’m going to give it my all and it’s going to be beautiful.

“I think that’s why I’m doing it, because I’m like, ‘One last hurrah!’ for now.”

That makes getting my hands on one of those elusive tickets even more vital.

YUNGBLUD IS BOY FOR ME

YUNGBLUD has been forced by ­doctors to pull the plug on touring until the end of the year, after concerns were raised about voice issues and blood test results.

But that means the star has plenty of time to read the script for a new biopic about Boy George‘s life.

George’s manager, Paul Kemsley, has told us that Doncaster-born Yungblud is the Culture Club singer’s first choice to play him.

Speaking at the launch of reality star Mauricio Umansky’s new ­collaboration with clothing brand Ari, Paul said: “Yungblud is the man that we want to play George, and George wants him too. We have told the film company that is our plan.

“We hope to have cameras filming at some point next year.

“Yungblud can really capture the essence of George, ­especially as a young man, and show the world what a trailblazer he was.”

Yungblud has previously said he’s keen to take on the role, so if their schedules can align, he could soon be on set.

He’s had a stellar year, with a No1 album and Grammy nominations, so it’s little wonder Boy George is keen to sign him.


THE season of goodwill is almost here and Ed Sheeran is one of the first celebs out of the blocks to spread festive cheer.
