It’s not easy being green in Hollywood. Leonardo DiCaprio, 31, famously owns an environmentally friendly hybrid car, but still won’t give up his fuel-guzzling private planes, according to Page Six.

On Thursday, DiCaprio, his mom, his grandmother and girlfriend Bar Rafaeli, 21, chartered a private jet from Paris to Rome for some vacation time on the way to the premiere of "The Departed" in Rome.

The group had so much fun in Paris, that they were hoping to return after the premiere on the company’s dime, a source tells the New York Post. "He asked Warner Bros. to put him up in the Bristol Hotel a little longer, and they said, ’Only if he would do more press.’”

No word on whether DiCaprio agreed.

Leonardo DiCaprio came to the aid of two wheelchair-bound Madonna fans at her Madgesty’s concert last week, Page Six reports. Francesco Clark, 28, – who was a staffer at Harper’s Bazaar magazine until a car accident left him a quadriplegic – had front-row seats to one of Madge’s shows at Madison Square Garden. But when Madonna came onstage, the crowd rushed forward and Clark’s wheelchair was nearly knocked over.

“He couldn’t see anything because people were all standing around him,” a friend of Clark’s told Page Six. “He tried to move to the front, but no one would budge, and nobody cared. Then the security guard came over and was being rude and told him to move.”

It was then that DiCaprio, 31, who was seated in a no-stand zone, came over and offered, “Why don’t you come sit with me and I’ll just move over?” Moments later, the actor moved another wheelchair-bound concertgoer over to his section as well.

Too bad Madonna didn’t say something. Perhaps she just couldn’t see them past the bright lights, but it would have made big news if Madonna had stopped the concert long enough to accommodate wheel-chair seated fans in the front.

Leonardo DiCaprio is obviously showing he has a good heart, and I for one think it’s incredible when someone like him shows kindness to others even though he doesn’t have to. Three cheers for Leonardo DiCaprio.

Leonardo Dicaprio and His Mother

In Paris, France, Leonardo Di Caprio (31) watched a semifinal tennis match earlier this morning with his mother, Ermeline DiCaprio. Switzerland’s Roger Federer, and Argentina’s David Nalbandian, faced off during the French Open tennis tournament at the Roland Garros stadium (Federer crushed Nalbandian 3-6 6-4 5-2).
Leo hands a hat to mommy Ermeline to protect her from the hot sun.

Leo’s next film, The Departed (Release Date, October 6, 2006), co-stars Mark Wahlberg, Alec Baldwin, Jack Nicholson, and Martin Sheen.
