Israel no haven for DiCaprio
Leonardo DiCaprio arrived in Israel with supermodel Bar Refaeli over the weekend, creating a paparazzi storm.
The 32-year-old Hollywood actor and Refaeli, 21, who have been romantically linked for about a year, apparently hoped to slip into the country unnoticed on a night flight from Frankfurt, Germany, on Sunday, but the plane was also carrying a group of Israeli entertainment reporters on their way back from a press junket in Ireland.
By the time DiCaprio and Refaeli headed for her family’s home in a Tel Aviv suburb, it had been besieged by dozens of photographers.
On Monday, the pair eluded their pursuers and traveled to Jerusalem, where they paid an after-hours visit to the Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial, museum spokeswoman Estee Yaari said. They later visited the Western Wall, a police spokesman said.
