Peace in Middle East Shattered by Leonardo DiCaprio and Bar Refaeli

Oh, right…

Well, it’s a good thing that there hasn’t been any peace in the Middle East, because if there had been, it would have been disturbed, even ruined, by Leonardo DiCaprio and Bar Refaeli.

The actor and his model girlfriend are currently in Bar’s native Israel, visiting her family and touring holy sites. What they had hoped would be an inconspicuous visit turned into a media circus when the flight they arrived on contained almost every single entertainment reporter from Israel.

What, the likes of Leo and Bar fly commercial?!?

So never mind that important government officials met, the paparazzi has been faithfully recording the couple’s every move and thus their every move has been dominating the news. So much so that two of Leo’s bodyguards decided to step in and fight them off. Only thing is, Leo and Bar weren’t even on the scene anymore when their protectors so gallantly began to rough up the photogs.

The incident caused the bodyguards to be arrested and to appear before an Israeli judge who, surprise surprise, decided to take their and Leo and Bar’s sides. The bodyguards were later freed without charge, and authorities issued a restraining order against several of the photographers involved.

So now Bar and Leo will be left in peace. That’s might be fine for them, but what on earth will the Israeli media report on now?
