Tobey Maguire and Leonardo DiCaprio Lovers?

Editors at Globe asked freelance writer Marlise Elizabeth Kast to check out their suspicions that longtime friends Tobey Maguire and Leonardo DiCaprio were lovers, a new tell-all on the tabloid business reveals.

In "Tabloid Prodigy," Kast writes how she tracked down Maguire's mother, Wendy, a secretary, and "told her that I was working on an article for a gay pride magazine about sexual expression among Hollywood stars. I asked her if she'd be willing to share any thoughts about her son's close bond with Leonardo."

Wendy Maguire responded to Kast, "I figured this subject would come up sooner or later . . . Those two are just free-spirited guys. Most of the friends they hang around with are gay. They're comfortable with that. But I think Leo and Tobey are the crossover between men and women. They have feminine traits they are willing to accept. They aren't ashamed to have any sort of title, even if that means someone calling them gay."

Kast continues, "Wendy continued to recount her liberal views, divulging details of how the two friends 'shared a bed and wore ribbons in their hair.' " While Kast wasn't about to claim the stars were gay, "Wendy had provided exactly what the editors wanted - insinuations."

Maguire's rep Kelly Bush, told the New York Post, "This is so ridiculous I don't feel the need to respond." DiCaprio's rep, Ken Sunshine, said, "It's completely made up and untrue."
