Leonardo DiCaprio was assaulted and injured over the weekend at a party in Hollywood. You probably haven't heard much about the incident, because Tom Cruise and his publicity machine are making such a fuss over his being squirted with water in London.
A statement released to People Magazine described Leo's attack: "While leaving a small private gathering, Leo was attacked by a woman who was trespassing and had been repeatedly asked to leave the property. The attacker struck him with a glass object before being restrained by witnesses. The woman was reportedly looking for an ex-boyfriend, who she had apparently physically assaulted on prior occasions."
DiCaprio was at the party hosted by Rick Salomon who is Paris Hilton's ex-beau (and the one who starred with her in the home movie sex video). Around 4 a.m., a woman who had been asked to leave the party, hit DiCaprio on the side of the face with a beer bottle. He was taken to a hospital by his friends.
The actor was in Los Angeles on a shooting break from director Martin Scorsese's "The Departed." The injury which required 12 stitches near his ear (That's freaking huge!) is not expected to delay his return to the set. NO ARREST WAS MADE in Los Angeles but cops are said to be investigating.
Meanwhile, FOUR MEN WERE ARRESTED for squirting Cruise with a wee bit of water in London during the premiere of "War of the Worlds" and man! did the wee actor get REAAALLLLLLY upset about it! I nearly spit my morning coffee when I heard the audio clip of his reaction ... Crips Cruise had a MELT down while Leo calmly hopped in a car with a gushing wound and went to an ER to get his gorgeous face sewn up. Who's a prissy and who's a man I ask??
