French tattlers seemingly cannot learn a lesson. That is why "Wolf of Wall Street" star Leonardo DiCaprio is taking yet another French magazine to court for violating the very strict French privacy law. DiCaprio recently won a lawsuit against the aptly named magazine "Oops!" who claimed that he and Rihanna are having a baby and that he doesn't want her to keep it.

The latest French magazine to draw DiCaprio's ire is "Crazy!" for the story claiming that he and the chart topping singer are talking about living together. The actor is looking to have the magazine pay 10,000 Euros for invasion of privacy and damages, and another 3,000 Euros for legal fees. Aside from the monetary compensation, DiCaprio demands the magazine to print "condemned by request of Leonardo DiCaprio" on the cover of an upcoming issue. That in itself have people wanting to see how the case would turn out.

According to Movie Pilot, French privacy law prohibits the printing of any personal information about anyone unless said information was supplied by the party or parties involved. The law protects everyone with no regard to fame, fortune and functions present or future. Judging by the way DiCaprio has reacted, it is clear that he did not supply any information to Crazy! Rihanna on the other hand has not released any statement regarding the alleged breach of privacy rights.

Another interesting tidbit about this whole thing is that the owner of "Crazy!" is also the owner of "Oops!". Frederic Trukolaski has just been ordered a few weeks back to pay the Hollywood star 8,000 Euros. After the decision, the magazine owner went on a rant condemning DiCaprio of being a pervert and a racist. While he admitted that they expected to lose the Oops case, he seemed to have learned nothing about adhering to the very strict French privacy laws.

Stateside counterparts may be thanking their stars that the United States does not have the same laws as the French. If so, DiCaprio and hosts of Hollywood actors and celebrities would be taking everyone to court and winning every single case they file to protect their privacy.
