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."
Look, people: It's bad enough that this guy's won an MTV VMA; it's even worse that places like G4TV are now giving him a venue to hold forth on whatever he wants. Just ignore him, and this whole "30 Seconds To Mars are becoming legit" nonsense will go away. Don't look at him. Don't acknowledge him. If he calls you, pick up the phone with a Turkish accent and pretend he's dialed the wrong country code, and then make some confused-looking gesticulations with your hands (he may not be able to see you on the phone, but it will really help your vocal performance). He should be treated like a little, raccoon-masked version of Haley Joel Osment in The Sixth Sense. Or better yet, an actual raccoon.

Jared Leto hates blogs.
Blogs hate Jared Leto.
Blogs hate whiny fat emo kids that used to be child stars and post blogs on MySpace while trying to diss other peoples' blogs.
Watch all the music bloggers slam Jared Leto in their posts, only to backpedal and gush over him to his face the next time they're backstage acting like bigshots at the 618th Music Festival they've been flown out to.

Sorry about the twice-sent comment. My browser's acting up again. Bad browser!
Wow, from semi-respected actor to Alternative Press/eyeliner sporting/goth wannabe. Where's Tyler Durden when we need him?
seriously, does anyone over the age of fifteen actually listen to this band? perhaps i am too old, and not hip to what the kids are in to these days. i could not pick one of their songs out of a lineup of two bands in that genre, whatever that genre may be. bands i would like to punch, based solely on appearance, perhaps? because there are a lot of those around these days, and they all seem to be quite popular.
If blogs are yesterday's parachute pants, what is today's the backwards leather straitjacket he's wearing?
And when did he disband Frozen Embryos, anyway?
Any man seen wearing a scarf when its not fookin cold outside (even then, I'm not sure if it's ok) is not allowed to comment on anything...we're looking at you Mr. Leto!
I have fond memories of an evening on the Lower East Side, when an acquaintance of mine yelled at him, "TRY GETTING A RESERVATION AT DORSIA NOW YOU FUCKING STUPID BASTARD!"
Man, did he look surprised to hear that.
OH MY...A**HOLE. Now he's effed. I'm personally going to sink his spaceship.
He may be a douchebag, but Jordan Catalano is still hot.
I may be a lil out of touch with his music, however this sort of outright douchebaggery makes me just want to kick his pampered rock star ass...
You know who wouldn't hate music blogs? Jordan Catalano that's who. Not because he is incapable of hate, not because he actually agrees with their arguements, no because JORDAN CAN'T READ! JORDAN CAN'T READ!
chrisb, he is so not hot. He might be hot if he laid off the black kohl. But even then, the word there is *might*.
Well, here's a bunch of non biased comments. Let's see, what would a bunch of bloggers have to say about a guy who doesn't like blogs. Yeah, thought so. It just proves him right, most of you are elitist bastards behind your screen names, when in person, you'd never dream of acting the way you do.
Whither thee Jordan Catalono?
Is Mr. Leto not aware that if were not for celebrity gossip blogs and those blogs maintained by his once teenaged aging fans there would be no mention of him anywhere? His last good role was 6 years ago in requiem for a dream. Rock Star is by far his most unconvincing role with media douchebag still being his best.
Hee hee, Celtickuja (hearts) Leto.
If you comment on a comment about a blog about a comment against blogs...aw crap...screw it.
Oh my, somebody doesn't like blogs. And oh my, bloggers don't like people who don't like blogs.
Shocking.
Regardless, 30 Seconds to Mars are pretty good live. Kinda gimmicky, and certainly not hipster enough for any of you, but good nonetheless.
Then again, they're popular, so they must be horrible people and talentless douchebags. I forgot about that rule.
I want to destroy something beautiful.
i love your comments Kurticus, i definitely agree that this isn't much of a surprise either way and can definitely sympathize with Jared because i can't even imagine how annoying it would be to have random people criticize and comment on every little thing that i did!
Jared Leto is NOT 58! He's only 35, what the heck?
its amazing how everyone attacks this man because of his own opinion. its true now, nobody is aloud to have their own opinion without being killed over it. just like everyone started hating the dixie chicks because they said they hated Bush. believe it or not..celebrities are people too, and last time i checked the amendments went for everyone..including the one that says "FREEDOM OF SPEECH"
nuff said.
