I feel you Jared; I love my mom, but shopping without cocktails always ends in tears!

So we’ve heard and seen a lot from old Jared Leto lately, so here’s some more!

Leto sat down with the Toronto Star and pretty much sounded like a pretentious d-bag:

“I’m self-taught at pretty much everything and I really don’t want to have too much information. I like the naïveté.

“I want to be able to pick up any instrument and not be so familiar. I like the surprise of it.

“With this album it was great, because I arranged a lot of strings as well. It was fun to be completely ignorant of any classical education or information. It’s music at the end of the day; if you approach it with the ear and the eye of an artist anything is possible.”

Whatevsky.  Basically, 30 Seconds to Mars (arguably the worst band name in history) tried to change labels and were slapped with a $30 million lawsuit by EMI.  Eventually, EMI “made a decision to address their concerns” (does that smell like spin to you?) so they’ve kissed and made up.

Then Leto said that he grew up ‘food stamp’ poor before pulling on his skinny jeans and skipping off.  I may have made up that last part.

Either way, kudos to Jared for losing a few and subsequently looking like spry young tyke.  Congrats!  Less enthused about the Beeker hair.
