Leonardo DiCaprio said at the L.A. premiere of The Revenant on Wednesday that the rumor about his character being raped by a bear is “absurd. See the video below.

As Gossip Cop previously reported, the Drudge Report published a story that was picked up by others, claiming DiCaprio’s character, Hugh Glass, is graphically raped by a bear on two occasions in the movie. The supposed scene, according to reports, showed the bear turning over Glass, as it “thrusts and thrusts during the explicit mauling.”

But DiCaprio’s Glass character is absolutely not sexually assaulted. Instead, the female attacks Glass because she believes her cubs are in danger. Fox previously issued a statement to correct the rumor.

Still, DiCaprio talked about the bogus story at the movie’s premiere, noting has “no idea where these ridiculous things come from, and what [do] you do when you hear stuff like that?” In any event, he called the bear rape report “absurd.”

DiCaprio stars in The Revenant as a frontiersman left for dead by his team after he’s brutally attacked (and not raped) by a bear. His character then seeks revenge against his compatriots who left him behind. The movie is slated to theaters on December 25.

Khloe Kardashian revealed an interesting list of people she would sleep with while playing a new game of her website. The reality star played three rounds of “[Expletive], marry or friend-zone,” and let her fans how she really feels about certain comedians, U.S. presidents, and even Disney princes.

The first round called on Kardashian to separate Sarah Silverman, Chelsea Handler and Tina Fey into the three distinct categories. She friend-zoned Handler since “we’re good friends in real life and I love her.” Kardashian then cited Fey as a marriage material because “she seems like she’d be a good wifey.” That left Silverman, who Kardashian declared she would go all the way with because she’s “smoking hot.”

In the U.S. Presidents round, Kardashian made her politics clear by immediately putting George W. Bush in the friend zone, leaving Barack Obama and Bill Clinton. She said she would “marry Obama, for sure,” before joking, ” I guess that means I do it with Bill!”

And in the Disney princes round, where the options were Beast from Beauty and the Beast, Prince Charming from Cinderella, and Aladdin, Kardashian acknowledged some of her bad boy tendencies. “I’d [expletive] the Beast — I did want to [expletive] the Beast back in the day, LOL,” she wrote. Marrying Prince Charming was a “no-brainer,” while Aladdin was relegated to the friend zone because “he doesn’t do it for me.”

Tell Gossip Cop what you think about Kardashian’s choices for her game ” “[Expletive], marry or friend-zone.” Who would you pick, given those options?

The New York Post is seven months late with its coverage of a One Direction appearance on the “Late Late Show.” The paper tried to hide its absurd mistake, but Gossip Cop screen grabbed its gaffe because the tabloid deleted it from Instagram. See photo below.

As Gossip Cop reported earlier, the band appeared on Tuesday’s show in a taped “Carpool Karaoke” segment, but on its Page Six Instagram account, the paper posted a new, mean-spirited dig at One Direction for how they played dodgeball with the show’s host James Corden. That’s interesting, because the dodgeball bit aired on the “Late Late Show” way back in May.

In its failed attempt to be newsy, the New York Post rudely mocked the band. Alongside a photo from the seven-months-old One Direction appearance on the late night talk show, the paper wrote on Instagram, “#OneDirection played dodgeball with #JamesCorden and reminded us why they’re musicians and not athletes.”

After One Direction fans slammed the paper, the woefully late and unfunny post was deleted. One problem: Gossip Cop screen grabbed it. Whoops!

Check out the screen grab below from the Page Six Instagram account in which the New York Post attempted to be witty and newsy, and failed miserably at both. And share your thoughts with Gossip Cop. We anxiously look forward to the paper’s coverage this coming November of the presidential race between Dewey and Truman.
