Jared Leto

[Foo]

Couldn't find a thread on him, so...

I hate this tool and douchebag. I hate his band. I've hated him since MSCL. His looks are overrated.

Nothing is worse than a douchebag who takes himself too seriously.

From IMDb:

Leto Tried To Choke Wood at Awards Show

Elijah Wood was shocked when he was attacked by Jared Leto at an awards show recently, because The Lord Of The Rings star said he didn't like Leto's band. The 26-year-old star was attending the MTVU Woodie Awards in November when Leto, who is the lead singer of cult act 30 Seconds To Mars, approached his table. Leto came over, whispered in Wood's ear and walked away, but then turned around, grabbed him by the throat and called him a "f**king a**hole." Wood tells Jane magazine, "He was basically upset at the fact that I said I didn't like his band. He said that initially and walked away. I guess he thought I was laughing at him, but I was more shell-shocked and telling people around me, 'Whoa, I just got told off by Jared Leto for not liking his band.' And that's when he came back and grabbed me." He adds, "I told Jared it wasn't personal. He acted like I'd been disrespecting him or speaking about his family. Things like that don't usually happen to me. I'm very non-confrontational. The whole thing was kind of ridiculous."

Get your dirty, stinky, poseur hands off Elijah!

Oh how Jordan Catelano has disappointed us. He just turned 35, but he's still acting 19. Sad.

I think I'm more shocked that this dude didn't slip into obscurity after MSCL ended. I never understood the fuss about him.

Leto was mighty pretty once. I don't know, was he always such a jerkface or is that recent? It seems he's trying way too hard to be a rockstar, it's kind of sad. Also, yeah, he's 35. Time to cut that shit out, Mr. Jerkface.

I thought Elijah Wood was being a douchebag, too. I'm not saying Jared's reaction was appropriate, I just dont like how Elijah said, oh its not personal. Alot of musicians see their music and what they do as personal. Elijah shouldn't act like what he says means nothing. If he was so non-confrontational...and didn't want to start shit, then don't insult people and their work! And maybe don't antagonize them when they are walking away. Jared already proved to be a bit of a loose cannon to Elijah and then he just says shit when Jared is walking away? Is he stupid?

having said that, I have never understood the attractiveness of Leto. He's not that good looking, in fact, he looks like a Lemur.

And yeah, 30 seconds to mars isn't all that great, and I find his behaviour nowadays as weird!!

[Beyle]

I agree that Elijah was acting like a douchebag too. Leto has always rubbed me the wrong way though.

Funny as gross as Jared is now, I'm shocked that she and Cameron didn't work out. They look perfect together.

This guy is massively pretentious. Elijah has a right to his opinion without having to worry about getting physically assaulted. Especially when its an opinion about a ROCK BAND. This is not the Iraqi war, this is a vanity project.

I didnt say that he deserved to be assaulted. I said that Jared's reaction was over the top. What I said is that when you start slagging off people and their work, you could be confronted about it. I didn't really like Elijah's wide-eyed "what'd I do? It's not personal!" attitude on the whole sitch. If someone got in my face about something like that, I certainly wouldn't run my mouth when they are walking away.

And as I said, MANY musicians take their music seriously! Alot of them see it as their life. You really can't deny that. I didn't compare his band to the Iraq War, and if you try to pull that, then I guess nothing is important in comparison and everyone's reaction to anything is overkill.

When did choking people become the hip, cool new thing to do?

[thecupcakekid]

Around "Does Wayne Brady have to choke a bitch?"

I think Elijah Wood probably didn't expect it, because if Jared Leto were a real Emo kid, he'd just have started crying and cutting himself.
