DiCaprio: Bottle brawl

Los Angeles, June 18 (AP): Leonardo DiCaprio was hit with a bottle while attending a Hollywood party given by Paris Hilton’s ex-boyfriend and needed about a dozen stitches to close a wound near his ear, a report said today.

DiCaprio was at a party at about 4 am yesterday at the home of Rick Salomon when a woman struck him with what appeared to be a beer bottle. No ambulance was called but friends took the actor to a hospital where he received about a dozen stitches, People magazine reported on its website.

Los Angeles police officer Jason Lee could not immediately confirm the report. “I have received no notification of that sort. That doesn’t mean that nothing happened, but normally we would get those kind of notifications here,” Lee said.
