The “Revolutionary Road” star was at Rolf’s on Third Avenue Sunday night “turning the restaurant upside-down looking for his wallet,” our spy said. When DiCaprio and his group switched tables, it seems he left his wallet behind, and “after searching frantically for it, the staff found it in the dirty linen pile.” Earlier in the weekend, he took his on-again girlfriend Bar Refaeli - and his wallet - to Wired magazine’s pop-up holiday store on West 18th Street, where they browsed flat-screen TVs.

Another man might have trouble making love to a woman while her husband not only watches but gives him pointers. But Leonardo DiCaprio was cool with it.

“I couldn’t have been more comfortable with the situation,” the actor said Wednesday at lunch when we asked him about his sex scenes with Kate Winslet in “Revolutionary Road.”

Even though Winslet’s beloved, Sam Mendes, was overseeing the simulated passion from his control booth, DiCaprio said, “I didn’t think about it.”

DiCaprio and Winslet, who play an unhappy Connecticut couple in the 1950s, got to know each other playing doomed lovers in “Titanic.” “We’d done a lot of sequences like that before,” he added. “So this time it was kind of easy.”

Winslet, who also had a nibble at the Plaza Hotel’s Oak Room, allowed that “initially, I was very worried it would be difficult to concentrate [on the sex]. But Leo was fine with it, which relaxed me. And I never sensed Sam feeling awkward. Quite the opposite. He’d yell from the other room: ‘Press your hand into her back more! And when you take her face, really grab it!’

“Maybe if it had been anyone else but Leo, it would have been weird. But we’re not really like grownups. We’re like two little boys.”

She might get an argument on that last point - her shapely body is anything but boyish. You also see it in “The Reader.” In that film, which had its New York premiere Wednesday night, she plays a former Nazi concentration camp guard who has an affair with a younger man who doesn’t know about her past. The criticism has been made that the couple’s sex scenes trivialize the Holocaust.

“There is a lot of nudity in the beginning,” she argued. “But it’s 100% justified. Also, the relationship is not about sex. It’s about how this young man reads her beautiful stories and poetry.”

As for the curves she showed in Steven Meisel’s photo spread in Vanity Fair, Winslet said, “Anyone can look like that with lighting and hair and makeup. I didn’t work out beforehand. I can’t remember the last time I’ve been to the gym. I don’t have the time. I’m a busy mom promoting two movies. That’s enough of a workout!”

Sexy Hollywood star Leonardo DiCaprio is heading for a court battle over the construction of his basketball court, after a judge gave his Hollywood neighbors the go-ahead to sue the actor for allegedly damaging their property.The talented actor and his cousin Robert Hrtica, from whom DiCaprio rents the Hollywood Hills home, are named in legal papers filed by neighbors Ronald and Joan Linclau last May.The Linclaus allege DiCaprio “maliciously” cut and removed hedges; excavated “earth, granite and bedrock”, destabilising their deck and swimming pool; and ignored their repeated requests to halt the 2004 construction.They are suing for trespass, nuisance and negligence and are seeking $250,000 in compensation. Los Angeles California Judge Tricia Ann Bigelow, who is presiding over the proceedings, previously ruled the Linclaus’ initial lawsuit was inadequate and failed to prove DiCaprio did anything wrong.They have since adjusted their lawsuit and on Thursday, Bigelow tentatively gave the case the go-ahead. She branded the damage caused to the Linclaus’ property “potentially outrageous”, adding that although the suit was not of “model clarity”, it was clear enough to go to trial. However, Bigelow will make the final ruling at a later court hearing - the date for which has yet to be disclosed.
