Leo gets off-chops; almost loses Oscar – literally

Of course if you’ve won an Oscar for Best Actor for your starring role in one of the year’s biggest films, you’re going to go out and celebrate big-time.

Which is just what Leonardo DiCaprio did on Monday night post- the Academy Awards ceremony. But puh-lease, if you’re going to get munted at some swanky after-party then shimmy on at some swish bar, at least give your trophy to your trusty Mom to take home and put in safe-keeping for you.

Instead, following the Vanity Fair post-Oscars affair, DiCaprio slid off to upscale restaurant WeHo with buddies Tobey Maguire, Lukas Haas, Vincent Laresca and a couple of older codgers (one of them looking spookily like Donatella Versace), then drove off with all of the above, remembering to take home a bottle of the bar’s best champers, but darn it… Something was missing… Oh that’s right, that trophy thing.

One of WeHo’s waitstaff ran out after the decadent party to hand the Oscar to its rightfully off-his-nut owner.
