Blake Lively & Leonardo di Caprio

A few months ago, Blake Lively was one of the contenders for the role of Daisy Buchanan in Baz Luhrmann’s remake of The Great Gatsby. We know this because Blake’s publicist made sure that everyone knew she took a meeting with Baz, and thatBlake was spending some time with Leonardo DiCaprio, who will likely be playing Jay Gatsby. This Leo connection would be good for Blake professionally and sexually - after all, Blake is kind of Leo’s “type” for a girlfriend, and Blake could perhaps be someone’s budget idea of Daisy Buchanan. Fortunately for filmgoers, Carey Mulligan won the part of Daisy in the end, and so Blake’s only need for any Leo-time was as a potential sexual partner.

So, on Saturday night, Jeremy Renner threw himself a massive 40th birthday blowout, and it quickly morphed into one of the better industry parties ever. Lots of A-listers were there - Leo, Colin Farrell, Charlize Theron, Scarlett Johansson, and Renner’s The Town costar, Blake Lively. Guess who Blake made a beeline for?
