Leonardo DiCaprio Pays a Special Visit to the Vatican and Meets With Pope Francis

On Thursday, Leonardo DiCaprio paid a special visit to the Vatican and had a private 15-minute meeting with Pope Francis. Although a spokesperson for the Vatican did not reveal any details about what they talked about, it's possible that they discussed climate change, since that's an environmental issue that the two are both very involved in. The spokesperson also revealed told Us Weekly that "the actor gave the pope a book of art from the Dutch Renaissance painter Hieronymus Bosch, and at the end of the encounter, DiCaprio kissed the pope's ring and, in Italian, thanked the Holy Father for meeting with him."

Of course, Leo isn't the first Hollywood star to meet with Pope Francis. In January 2015, Angelina Jolie met with him after screening her film Unbroken at the Vatican. In a statement released by Universal Pictures, she said, "Being invited with my film to the Vatican is an honor and a great tribute to the story that I have told in Unbroken." Keep reading to see more of Leo's visit, and then see how much he's changed since his first award show red carpet.

Angelina Jolie on Her Kids Becoming Actors: "I Hope Not!"

Do Angelina Jolie's six kids have the acting bug? The actress recently sat down with the Today show to talk about what it was like working with four of her kids, Pax, 12, Zahara, 11, Shiloh, 9, and Knox, 7, on her upcoming movie Kung Fu Panda 3. While Maddox, 14, and Vivenne, 7, didn't lend their voices to the movie, Angelina revealed that having her family there made the experience that much sweeter. "[It] was so much fun," she said. "I think what was so sweet about it was that they took it very seriously. They came in and said, 'I don't know if I could do this. I'm not sure if I can do this.' And to talk them through it - it was simple little things - but they really took it seriously as a job and getting it right and not doing a bad job." When asked if their taste of the business made them want to pursue acting, Brad Pitt's better half said, "I hope not! We've always said if they want to be actors I hope they do something [on the side in addition to being] actors."

Angelina's sweet interview comes on the heels of the animated movie's adorable red carpet premiere. Pax, Shiloh, Vivienne, and Zahara stepped out with their famous mom, while costar Kate Hudson also brought along her two sons. And if that isn't enough Angelina for you, check out this woman who looks like her twin.

Nope, Natalie Portman Hasn't Seen Star Wars: The Force Awakens

Natalie Portman may have been a major part of the Star Wars prequels, but that doesn't mean she's obsessive about the franchise. The star, currently promoting her new movie, Jane Got a Gun, stopped by Good Morning America on Wednesday and was asked about Star Wars: The Force Awakens. "I haven't been able to see it yet, but I've heard it's amazing," she said. "It's so nice that it's this continuing part of shared cultural knowledge." In short, Portman hasn't seen Episode VII, so we can all stop asking her about it.

Although their argument started over Wiz's assertion that Kanye hadn't given credit to rapper Max B for his new album title, Waves, Kanye quickly made things personal. He said Wiz got "trapped by a stripper," referring to Kanye's ex-girlfriend and Wiz's ex-wife Amber Rose, and that Kanye "owns" the former couple's son, Sebastian.
