The trial of disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein has begun in New York City –and the former producer has already drawn the ire of Judge James Burke, who admonished the accused for using his mobile phone during proceedings. “Is this really how you want to end up in jail for the rest of your life, by texting, and violating a court order?” the judge asked.

But while Titanic’s Jack didn’t survive the ocean, Leonardo (45) was able to save the life of another ship’s passenger over the holiday period, while on board his luxury yacht.
