LOS ANGELES, June 7 — While Leonardo DiCaprio and Rihanna may have stayed mum regarding dating rumours, DiCaprio is proving that he doesn't take lightly to tabloid rumours that slander his name.

According to reports by Gossip Cop, DiCaprio is reportedly suing French magazine "Oops" for claiming that Rihanna is pregnant with his child.

The May 13 issue of the tabloid featured photos of Rihanna and DiCaprio with the headline, "Rihanna Pregnant With Leonardo's Baby: He Doesn't Want The Baby," despite neither of them confirming that they were even romantically involved.

Gossip Cop further reported that the owner of the magazine has blatantly admitted that the entire story was fabricated.

DiCaprio is seeking nearly US$20,000 (RM72,000) in damages and legal fees and is requesting a full retraction of the story on their next cover.
