GRANDMOTHER CREDITS MYSPACE FOR DICAPRIO ROMANCE

A 67-year-old Florida retiree has announced that she will be the new Mrs. Leonardo DiCaprio thanks to a popular networking website. Imogene Evans says that she joined Myspace.com six months ago in an attempt to spice up her otherwise dreary existence and was surprised when the movie star’s name came up in a search she ran. A huge fan of DiCaprio’s Titanic, Evans said she figured the actor must be a Myspace enthusiast since he appeared to have created nearly forty profiles on the site.

“I wrote him a pretty straightforward email just telling him how much I like his acting, so I was fairly surprised when he responded in a sexual way,” she says.

Love blossomed quickly for the pair and soon they were corresponding daily through email and instant messages. “Leo is at home a lot more than you’d imagine; he’s online pretty much all the time,” she said. Evans says that she corresponded with a number of other celebrities through Myspace including Colin Farrell, Justin Timberlake, and former President Clinton and although she admitted to occasional flirting she says that DiCaprio was the only person from the site with whom she has been intimate.

“He mentioned cybering early on and at first I was dead-set against it. But sometimes one thing leads to another,” she says coyly. Evans admits she has only spoken to the actor once by phone (“he sounds very different than he does in the movies”) and that the two have never met in person. Yet she feels confident about their future together and is undaunted by the actor’s engagement to model Giselle Bundchen. “L-Dawg tells me he just needs to let her down in his own way.”
