Celebrity Week continues here at Daily Tomorrow and the rest of the Health & Wellness Channel. Today’s featured star is one of the best and brightest of my generation, Leo DiCaprio.

The Governator has been busy.
Last week, former movie star and current California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger officially declared that his state was in a drought and threatened to ration water to cities if conservation efforts were not increased. The New York Times reported:
