Jared Leto To EMI: F U, Pay Me (And Those Other Dudes In The Band)

Late Friday, EMI announced that it was suing the Jared Leto-led outfit 30 Seconds To Mars, whose last album for the label's Virgin subsidiary came out in 2005, for $30 million dollars because of breach of contract issues. While the exact amount of damages sought was probably the result of "cuteness" more than anything, EMI's grievance seemed somewhat solid—after all, the band "repudiated" its contract, on which it had one album left, last month. In response to the suit, the former Jordan Catalano penned an open letter to his fans, his band's former label, and any other parties who might be interested. More »

Jared Leto Finally Acting A Bit Like Jordan Catalano Again

When heartbroken friends sigh about the transformation of Jared Leto from TV dreamboat to emo assclown, my natural reaction is to laugh long and hard, for reasons jealous and Brian Krakow-like in nature. But when I read that Leto tried to yank some posters off the walls at CBGB during its demolition, I smiled a little. More »

Who Was That Masked Man At The Inland Invasion?

Earlier today, we asked you which frontman performing at the KROQ Inland Invasion would be silly enough to dress up in a full-on Star Wars outfit as he walked onstage for his band's set. Of course, the clear majority of you (almost 80%!) realized that only one lead singer could be so idiotic, and that person is 30 Seconds to Mars singer Jared Leto. (M.

Jared Leto Has Forgotten What They Did To Pluto

Apparently, 58-year-old 30 Seconds to Mars singer Jared Leto hates the blogs. From a rant on G4TV, via Stereogum:

"I think that blogging should die a sudden death. It's just ridiculous. It's like a playground for four-year-olds. People say and do things in the world of blogs that they would never do in real life, and I think it's a false experience...The blog is yesterday's parachute pants. It's here now but it's gone tomorrow."
