  • Diane Kruger Latest Jared Leto Photobombing Victim

    Diane Kruger is the latest victim to fall prey to Jared Leto’s photobombing skills. The Suicide Squad actor photobombed Kruger as she posed for pictures at LACMA’s 2015 Art+Film Gala on Saturday.

    Attending the event with her partner, Joshua Jackson, Diane Kruger posted the shot–and a message to Jared Leto–via her Instagram account.

    “Just you wait, I’ll get you back f…..? @jaredleto,” she captioned it.

    Diane Kruger stunned at the event. Sporting two shades of bright blue, the actress wore an asymetrical strapless top with a train, and blue satin pants.

    Her photobomber was handsome, as always, in his black tux jacket, black pants, and a red satin shirt. Jared Leto’s shirt matched his hair, which was dyed the same shade of red.

    Diane Kruger isn’t the only victim of Jared Leto’s antics. He has also photobombed Ireland Baldwin, Anne Hathway, and Kevin Spacey at different events.

    Fortunately for Jared Leto, Diane Kruger and the rest of his victims have excellent senses of humor.

  • Gwen Stefani, Blake Shelton Spark New Dating Rumors, As They Celebrate Halloween Together

    Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton curbed those dating rumors that started up when The Voice returned to TV this season. Both newly single, rumors had Gwen and Blake falling in love right off the bat. The rumors simmered down after a while, with most believing Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton were just great pals–until this weekend, anyway. The Voice coaches reportedly spent all of Friday together–dressed up in their Halloween costumes–and they attended two Halloween parties together on Friday night.

    Gwen Stefani donned a skimpy cowgirl dress and hat–and was covered in blood, too. Blake Shelton wore a Mexican Serape poncho over his flannel shirt, topped with a trucker hat over a black wig and beard. No one is really sure what or whom Gwen and Blake were channeling, but it really doesn’t matter as long as they had fun.

    And they definitely had fun.

    Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani first attended George Clooney’s Casamigos Halloween Party, and although they arrived separately, they shared a bit of PDA as the night wore on.

    Around 1:30 a.m., Gwen and Blake met up again at Jared Leto’s Halloween party, from which the two left together a short time later. Yes, Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton left the party together, laughing, and having a wonderful time.

    While some might believe this indicates a budding romance between Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton, it also can’t be put past Blake to stir things up solely for the benefit of the paparazzi.

    Who knows? If Blake and Gwen are dating, and don’t want anyone to know it, they can play coy. They have to work together, so they have the perfect excuse to spend time together.

    Do you think Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton are carrying on in secret?

  • Emily Blunt to Star in Bestselling Mystery Adaptation of “The Girl on the Train” in 2016

    Emily Blunt is set to star in the film adaptation of the bestselling mystery, The Girl on the Train. The film will be released in October of 2016.

    If you’ve read The Girl on the Train, you know that the big screen adaptation will no doubt hook viewers from the start, then take them on a ride with twists and turns that hopefully parallel the book. Emily Blunt will star as the woman who believes she witnessed a crime in a house she passes while riding on a train.

    The Girl on the Train has been compared with Gone Girl. Author Paula Hawkins spoke with Time magazine about the similarities.

    “It’s flattering to be compared to Gone Girl because I think Gone Girl is a great book. I actually think that atmosphere of the book is closer to Hitchcock,” she said. “But I suppose both books have a very flawed female protagonist at their heart and are women who maybe are not what they seem.”

    In addition to Emily Blunt, The Girl on the Train will also star Rebecca Ferguson, Justin Theroux, and Allison Janney. Jared Leto and Chris Evans are in talks to sign on.

    Fans of The Girl on the Train can likely picture Emily Blunt in the starring role. Presently starring in Sicario, Blunt is creating Oscar buzz in her role as an FBI agent fighting a Mexican drug cartel.

    The announcement of Emily Blunt’s lead in The Girl on the Train gives movie-goers something to look forward to next fall. It will be fascinating to see how the book translates to the big screen.

  • Jared Leto Wears Outrageous Baboon Outfit, Surprises Attendees At New York Comic-Con

    A fan dressed as the Joker had no idea he was already standing beside the real Joker and even took a photo with him.

    Jared Leto, who is set to play the role of the Joker in the upcoming films Suicide Squad and Batman Vs Superman: Dawn of Justice, joined the New York Comic-Con but made sure that no one recognized him.

    Leto wore a giant baboon mask that disguised himself as Rafiki of The Lion King. Only his eyes were visible to people.

    He mingled freely with everyone until he saw a cosplayer dressed as the Joker and asked if he could take a photo with him.

    While Leto was enjoying brief moment of anonymity, he also managed to find another fan who was dressed as the Joker’s sidekick, Harley Quinn. Leto surprised cosplayer Kristen Corradeno when he approached her and said, “Hey Harley. I’m surprised you don’t recognize my voice.” Leto then revealed himself and chatted with Kristen for a while.

    Kristen was very happy and said in her post, “Thanks so much for being so awesome, Jared! It was so cool casually chatting with ya for a few minutes.”

    Jared Leto also posted his photos with and without the mask while in the NYCC.

    Aside from the Joker and Harley Quinn cosplayers he met at the NYCC, he also shared photos of Batman and Robin cosplayers, as well as other superheroes like Superman.

    After this experience as a “normal” person, it looks like Leto will be back posting creepy pictures of himself as the Joker on Instagram to hype up the upcoming movie.

    Leto will be starring alongside Margot Robbie, Will Smith, and Cara Delevingne  in the film, Suicide Squad, which will be released in August 2016.

    He will also appear in Batman Vs Superman: Dawn of Justice with Ben Affleck as Batman and Henry Cavil as Superman. The movie is set to hit theaters in March 2016.

  • Chloe Bartoli: Scott Disick Reportedly Cheated On Kourtney Kardashian With Her for Years

    Chloe Bartoli and Scott Disick’s dalliances in the South of France didn’t represent the first time the ex-lovers had been together. In fact, one source told Us Weekly the two had been meeting up–unbeknownst to Kourtney Kardashian, of course–for years.

    “This has been going on forever,” a source close to Chloe Bartoli said. “They would meet up in NYC. I heard about it first at least a year ago. Chloe is sweet but loves running in these celebrity circles.”

    A stylist who has styled big-name celebs including Miranda Kerr and Selena Gomez, Chlose Bartoli is best friends with Nicole Richie. She frequently hangs out with friends including Gigi Hadid and Jared Leto. She has a twin sister named Marie-Lou.

    Bartoli first dated Scott Disick back in 2006, when he was on a break from the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star and prior to Kourtney becoming pregnant with son Mason Disick, who is now five.

    Kourtney Kardashian made it perfectly clear to Scott Disick throughout the years that she didn’t want him keeping in touch with Chloe Bartoli.

    Clearly Scott Disick paid no heed to Kourtney’s demand, and now has been formally kicked out of the home he shared with her and their three children. He didn’t even show up to be part of daughter Penelope Disick’s third birthday.

    Maybe Chloe Bartoli did Kourtney Kardashian a huge favor. She finally dumped the man who brought way more heartache than peace to a relationship that lasted nearly a decade.

    The real question is this, however. Now that Kourtney has dumped Scott Disick, will Chloe Bartoli stick with him? Or was he simply a conduit to the celebrity world she likely sees as a boost to her occupation?

  • Margot Robbie Birthday Gift from Jared Leto: Another Rat?

    Margot Robbie just celebrated her 25th birthday on the set of Suicide Squad. The film does not hit theaters until August, 2016, but on-set news and pictures are followed more closely than any Star Wars film.

    The cast of the film includes: Robbie, Jared Leto, Will Smith, Cara Delevingne, Jai Courtney, Scott Eastwood, Ben Affleck, Viola Davis, Joel Kinnaman, Jai Courtney and Common.

    Margot Robbie previously starred in The Wolf of Wall Street with Leonardo DiCaprio and Jonah Hill, earning attention for holding her own admirably in the Martin Scorsese film.

    When Margot Robbie posted to Instagram that she had been given a massive birthday cake by her Suicide Squad castmates, the picture made the social media rounds quickly, thanks to comic book fans who are hungry for any news from the set.

    Harley's cake – thank you squad!

    But soon the question soon arose: What kinds of gifts did Robbie get?

    Robbie revealed balloons that she received from her friends in the Squad.

    Spoilt rotten today

    A photo posted by @margotrobbie on

    But, given the kinds of gifts that she has gotten in the past, fans are sure there must be something more we have not been told.

    A few weeks ago, we learned that Jared Leto, who plays The Joker in the film, sent Robbie and other castmates gifts while he was away from the set. Adam Beach, who plays Slipknot in the film, revealed:

    “He sent [Margot Robbie] a nice love letter with a black box with a rat in it—a live rat. It was beautiful. Then he sent bullets to Will [Smith] with a letter.”

    That rat was named “Splinter” by the rest of the cast. He was passed around among the cast and became an unofficial mascot. There is even talk that he may make a cameo appearance in the film.

    Meet my new roommate. He knows Karate, writes haikus and enjoys transformative meditation.

    The rat eventually came to reside with Guillermo del Toro in Toronto, where Suicide Squad is filming. Del Toro said the rat has been renamed, and is doing well.

    “The rat is living with us in Toronto and he, and his massive ballsack, provide the house with great cheer and joy! We have re-named him Venustiano.”

    If Margot Robbie got another macabre gift from Jared Leto or anyone else, she isn’t telling yet.

  • Margot Robbie Plants A Kiss On Jared Leto In New “Suicide Squad” Pics

    Margot Robbie and Jared Leto are two of the most talked-about actors in regards to the upcoming film Suicide Squad, although the cast is full of stars, and their names are in the headlines again this week after pics were leaked from the set showing a scene in which Robbie plants a big kiss on Leto.

    Robbie, who plays troubled psychologist-turned-villain Harley Quinn, can be seen in the shot holding the Joker’s face in her hands as she kisses him after a fight scene. Leto’s Joker is in full makeup, with his signature green hair pulled back.

    Leto has been sharing shots that are getting attention, as well, but in a different way; the actor posted a photo to Instagram recently that showed off his bulging muscles with the caption, “Don’t make me punish you.”

    "Don't make me punish you."

    A photo posted by JARED LETO (@jaredleto) on

    Robbie made headlines of her own once shooting began and photos began to leak from the set; the Wolf Of Wall Street actress was spotted with Quinn’s signature blue and red pigtails and short shorts, strutting around in high heels with a baseball bat slung over her shoulders. As hot as she looks, it’s bad news for her co-stars, as Margot said recently that she doesn’t date fellow actors.

    “I made a conscious decision not to date actors, but not because I hate actors. That’s a nasty generalization to make, and that’s not the case. People take such an interest in your love life when you have a profile that it puts a lot of stress on a relationship. So, two people with profiles, I figure it’s just double the amount of scrutiny, and I’d like to avoid that at all costs,” Margot Robbie said.

  • Kim Kardashian: From Platinum Blonde to White Hair

    Kim Kardashian made news last week for dying her brunette tresses platinum blonde. Now she has dyed her hair yet again, and this time it’s startlingly white.

    According to a report from Us Weekly, Kim Kardashian spent hours in the Paris salon L’Atelier, and when she emerged the hair on her head matched the fur on her coat.

    Later that evening, the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star watched her husband, Kanye West, in concert.

    Kim Kardashian seemed very happy with this new look, as she tweeted out a photo to her followers.

    Maybe Kim Kardashian didn’t like the competition of Jared Leto sporting the same hair color? He went platinum blonde for his role as The Joker in an upcoming film. His new ‘do meant his long tresses were cut as well, however.

    People magazine reports that Kim Kardashian’s platinum blonde was inspired by Madonna. Who do you suppose inspired her white locks–Billy Idol?

    What’s your take on Kim Kardashian’s latest look? Do you prefer her as a platinum blonde or with white hair instead? Or do you think the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star should stick her her brunette hair color instead?

  • Raven-Symone Joins Kim Kardashian, Jared Leto in Sporting Platinum Blonde Hair

    Raven-Symone is the latest member of the Hollywood set to sport platinum blonde hair. She joins the likes of Kim Kardashian and Jared Leto who both recently shared photos with their fans of their newly-dyed tresses.

    Raven-Symone took a bit of a different route with her platinum locks, however. Hers aren’t dyed. Instead, the Empire actress is sporting a platinum hairpiece instead.

    The actress served as guest host on The View on both Wednesday and Thursday, and wore different hairstyles each day on the show.

    She shared a couple of pictures of her platinum blonde ‘do with her fans via Instagram.

    Raven-Symone captioned the previous shot, “@liketoknow.it www.liketk.it/ZiXC #liketkit. Just waking up, and looking through yesterday’s pix. @stacylondonreal and I are giving #BWR so I had to give yall a chance to get some of these fashion pieces/products. !! click on @liketoknow.it www.liketk.it/ZiXC #liketkit to get an email of all the products, skirts, shirts, heals, jewelry, you see in this picture, and any other #liketkit link I have posted!!! ”

    She captioned this next photo, “@a_nicholle just gave me another piece that made my inner blond pop out! Amazing! #unicorn #90’sRealness #thecraft.”

    What do you think of Raven-Symone as a platinum blonde? It’s certainly a far cry from the ‘do she wore on The Cosby Show when she played the role of little Rudy way back when–isn’t it?

    Do you like the Empire star as a blonde? Raven-Symone clearly has one advantage to going platinum that Kim Kardashian and Jared Leto don’t. She can switch back to her natural brunette hair in pretty much an instant.

  • Jared Leto Destroys Something Beautiful

    Jared Leto has had short hair before. But the way people are responding to his cutting his mane off this time, you’d think Samson had just wussed out to Delilah all over again.

    Jared Leto is a member of the cast of Suicide Squad, a film directed by David Ayer about a team of comic book super-villains who take on nearly-doomed missions in exchange for shorter prison sentences. The comic book favorite has been the topic of much rumor for at least the past year, with hints and red herrings galore about who might end up on the final cast list.

    Jared Leto will be playing Batman’s nemesis The Joker. And for that role, Leto needed to have his long locks lopped. So director David ayer memorialized the shearing by posting before and after pics on Twitter, where everyone could wallow in the tragedy.

    As for the rest of Suicide Squad, we know that Margot Robbie and Will Smith are in. Robbie will be playing Batman regular Harley Quinn. Will Smith is in as Deadshot. Cara Delevingne will be Enchantress, and Viola Davis plays Amanda Waller, the head of the secret government agency that creates the Suicide Squad.

    Rumors are still flying that Jesse Eisenberg will be Superman villain Lex Luthor. After playing Mark Zuckerberg in The Social Network, one can only hope that Eisenberg will not wind up being typecast as playing powerful executives who use their wealth to wreak evil and bend the world to their will.

    Comic book fans have been clamoring for any little piece of news from the Suicide Squad camp. What they got today was Jared Leto’s haircut. It’s something.

  • Jared Leto Chops Off Long, Sexy Locks for ‘Suicide Squad’

    Jared Leto has cut off his long, sexy signature locks for a short style. Leto will play the role of The Joker in the upcoming Suicide Squad. David Ayer is the director for the film. He posted both before after shots of Jared Leto on hair cutting day.

    In addition to Jared Leto, Suicide Squad will star Margot Robbie and Will Smith. The two presently appear together in Focus on the big screen. Jesse Eisenberg is rumored to be playing the role of Lex Luther.

    Suicide Squad is about a secret government agency. Run by Amanda Waller, the agency is named A.R.G.U.S. Waller creates a task force comprised of super villains. They call the task force the Suicide Squad because sometimes members never return from their assignments. The villains–all from comic book stories–are assigned to execute dangerous tasks in exchange for shorter prison sentences.

    Here are the before and after shots of Jared Leto, as posted by Suicide Squad director, David Ayer. See what you think of the My So-Called Life actor’s new look.

    What do you think of Jared Leto without his lengthy tresses? There’s no question that even without long hair, he’s still incredibly sexy.

  • Lupita Nyong’o Addresses Rumored Romance With Jared Leto

    Lupita Nyong’o shined in the red carpet as well as onstage during the 2015 Screen Actors Guild Awards. She joined Jared Leto as they took to the stage to present the award for Outstanding Male Actor in a TV Movie or Miniseries. However, their seemingly flirtatious nature is what’s been making headlines right now. Leto was seen staring intently at the Yale-educated actress as she read the nominees, only looking away to read his part from the teleprompter. The rumored couple announced the winner, Mark Ruffalo, who couldn’t be there during the ceremony. After delivering the spiel about accepting the award on Ruffalo’s behalf, Leto then pulled Nyong’o closer to him.

    The 12 Years a Slave star was clearly flustered, adding more fuel to the rumors that Jared Leto and Lupita Nyong’o are an item. However, Nyong’o addressed the rumors during an appearance on Ellen. “Ah, but I thought Miley Cyrus broke us up,” Nyong’o quipped, referring to the rumors that Leto was dating the “Wrecking Ball” singer. “That was the last thing I heard.”

    “It’s crazy, cause when I read these rumors, they’re so detailed that even I start to question whether they’re true or not. I know I’ve believed them in the past and now I guess I can’t believe anything,” Lupita Nyong’o added.

    The rumors began when Leto revealed being infatuated with Nyong’o during the 2014 Independent Spirit Awards. “In case this is the last time I get to thank anyone, I wrote down a couple of names,” Leto said before thanking Wayne Gretzky and the inventor of the zipper among others. The actor then added, “To all the women I have slept with and those who think they’ve slept with me. And [to] my future ex-wife Lupita!” The stars were then seen spending time with each other, which fueled the speculation that the two are dating.

  • Jared Leto and Snoop Dogg Invest Big in Reddit

    Jared Leto and Snoop Dogg Invest Big in Reddit

    What do Dallas Buyer’s Club star (and Oscar winner) Jared Leto, “Gin and Juice” rapper Snoop Dogg, Netscape co-founder Marc Andreessen, Sequoia Capital’s Alfred Lin and PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel have in common?

    They’re all Redditors. And they just joined together to pony up $50 million to give the popular site a capital infusion.

    Reddit, which bills itself as The Front Page of the Internet, is a different kind of place. Not quite as rough-hewn as 4Chan — though they do rub elbows — Reddit can be thought of as a forum where links are posted and upvoted or downvoted. But it’s not just a social bookmarking and ranking site.

    Reddit is built from various categories of interest — called subreddits — that cater to nearly every taste, whim, fetish, and fancy imaginable. You can find material and discussions on anything from male fashion advice to atheism to cat pictures.

    But there is more. Links to off-Reddit material are a big part, but so are pictures. The popular image-hosting site, Imgur, was created specifically for Reddit users to host on rather than wind up with dead links from other hosting sites.

    Occasionally, their image-sharing ways have gotten Reddit in some hot water. A former subreddit (now eliminated) called Jailbait was seen by some as skirting the edge of underage pornography. The powers-that-be at Reddit nixed it.

    But recently the release of tons of celebrity nudes, hacked from cloud storage accounts, was another scandal Reddit had to live down. The release didn’t even originally happen on Reddit, but members quickly disseminated the photos of Jennifer Lawrence and others in a wave of posting known as “The Fappening”. Moderators quashed the threads quickly, but not before tons of people got the photos.

    Nonetheless, Reddit has earned its place in today’s Internet landscape. And celebs like Leto have joined with investors like Andreessen to help keep the lights on at Reddit.

    Reddit is currently maintained by a staff of 60 people. Reddit’s mobile reach is limited to a few poorly-designed apps. They plan to use that $50 million to add some features, hire more staff, and build a mobile product.

  • Barkhad Abdi May Be An Oscar Nominee, But He Did Not Become Rich

    Anyone that has been following the recent awards season is clearly aware of the name Barkhad Abdi, the Somali-American actor who became a household name through his role in Captain Phillips.

    Despite the fact that he was nominated for every major award, including the Oscars, for his best supporting actor role in the film, Barkhad Abdi is struggling to make ends meet after only making $65,000 for the film.

    The film, which was also nominated for Best Picture, focuses on the real life Captain Phillips, played by Tom Hanks, and the historic event when his American ship was taken over by Somali pirates. Abdi plays the leader of the pirates that attempt to overthrow the ship, and has become well-known for his line when he says “I’m the captain now.”

    Captain Phillips made $55 million at the box office, yet Barkhad Abdi was paid only a small fraction of that, and is currently broke, being forced to live off of his per diem payments. In the weeks leading up to the Oscars, a Somali cabdriver was driving him around for free, and the clothes that he wore to the big events were on loan.

    However, he has said that he plans to move to Los Angeles, hoping to further his film career. He already has another role set for the film The Place That Hits The Sun, which follows famous South African marathoner Willie Mtolo.

    As most people are probably aware by now, it was his first film, and before shooting Captain Philips, Abdi was working as a limousine driver. He had an idea that Captain Phillips would become a huge hit, and decided to quit his job on the day that the film premiered.

    Barkhad Abdi spoke about his debut film when saying “How I thought about it was like, ‘When the movie came out reviews either gonna be good or bad. Either way, I cannot be working here.”

    Following the completion of the film, he returned to Minneapolis to work for his brother again, and this time he was selling mobile phones. Captain Phillips filmed more than two years ago, despite its recent release, and his low salary has not given him much to live off of.

    Barkhad Abdi may have achieved mainstream success in terms of being known, but he still does not have the riches to show for it. He won the BAFTA, but lost every other award of the season to Jared Leto, winning multiple awards for his role in Dallas Buyers Club.

  • Jon Voight Praises New Generation Of Actors

    Whether it’s in the music world or acting world, sometimes certain veterans will speak negatively about younger artists. For example, many musicians from the past bellyache about music not being good today and how many of the singers and songwriters stink.

    But sometimes older artists openly praise the younger ones, and some even go out of their way to say really nice things.

    Recently, that was the case with legendary actor Jon Voight, who said some very kind words about Matthew McConaughey and his role in Dallas Buyers Club. Voight said that McConaughey was the real deal when it comes to his craft and he pulls no punches in front of the camera.

    “Matthew has a wonderful, explosive way about him,” said Voight. “He’s passionate, and he goes for it. He doesn’t edit. It makes his work very pure and beautiful too.”

    Additionally, Voight said he loved McConaughey’s Oscar speech, especially his reference to God. Voight said he really admired the Oscar winner bringing spirituality into his speech, because folks don’t usually do that at the Oscars. “I admired his speech,” said Voight. “Matthew mentioned God, which is a no-no at the Oscars, but he did it with great dignity.”

    Voight, who’s now 75 years of age, won an Oscar back in 1978 for playing Luke Martin in the film Coming Home, and he said this year’s Oscars honored some really talented people who are devoted to their craft, and Jared Leto is one of them, he said.

    The actor also said that he sees a lot of himself in Leto, and feels the Oscar voting committee got things right this year.

    “Jared is a like minded soul for me,” said the legendary actor. “He’s a great actor. I’m so glad he won. I’m impressed with these guys. God bless them. This is a wonderful evening because of it.”

  • Jared Leto Rekindles Lupita Nyong’o Dating Rumors

    Even though Jared Leto just received an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor last night, and gave an amazing speech that he’s getting a lot of press for today, it’s his speech at the Independent Spirit Awards that’s still getting tons of attention.

    After receiving the award, Leto thanked a strange list of people, including a certain hockey legend for some reason. “In case this is the last time I get to thank anyone, I wrote down a couple names,” he said jokingly. And he began to thank folks like Wayne Gretzsky, Kurt Cobain and River Phoenix.

    Then he thanked all the women he’s loved before, which of course was very Willie Nelson of him and it was hilarious. “I want to thank all the women I’ve been with and all the women who think they’ve been with me,” said Leto.

    But the comment that received most of the attention is what Leto said at the close of his speech: I also want to thank “my future ex-wife Lupita,” he stated, which of course sent the gossip mill spinning once again, since rumors of Leto and Nyong’o being a couple have been spreading around like the measles since the beginning of award’s season.

    However, Nyong’o shot down those rumors when she visited Ellen DeGeneres a while back, and she said the two weren’t really a couple, just friends. “Ah, but I thought Miley Cyrus broke us up,” she joked. “That was the last thing I heard.”

    Nyong’o also said before being famous she used to believe all the crazy things she read about celebrities, but now she see’s that many of those stories aren’t true.

    “It’s crazy, cause when I read these rumors, they’re so detailed that even I start to question whether they’re true or not,” she said. “I know I’ve believed them in the past and now I guess I can’t believe anything.”

  • Jared Leto Wows On The Red Carpet At The Oscars

    There’s just something about Jared Leto’s blue eyes that make the ladies swoon. While most of these ladies are relatively young, he managed to have some fun with 84 year old June Squibb on the red carpet at the Oscars. June was in the middle of talking about her amazing dress that was custom made for her, when Leto interrupted her to announce that he and Squibb were a couple.

    Let’s put the rumors to rest,” he said. “We are indeed dating and it’s great.” Ugh, that Leto is just too charismatic for words!

    He added, “I’ve been having fun. I hope she is, too.”

    Squibbed quipped, “Our evening in Santa Barbara was great.”

    Squibb seemed to enjoy his fun flirting and didn’t mind taking a break from describing her gown. Squibb isn’t the only one who looked amazing at the Oscars, Leto himself showed up in a white jacket, black pants and red bowtie and even took his hair down for the event. Leto has been seen sporting a man bun over the last few months, but decide to let his hair down for the formal event.

    Leto seemed rather happy to be attending the event and was also excited that his mother could join him.

    “It’s incredible. It’s fun to share with my mom and brother, they’re both here tonight,” he told Seacrest.

    “This is a woman who, against all odds, was able to make a better life for herself and for my brother and she taught us so much about creativity and hard work and about living dreams so it’s really fun to share this dream with her.”

    Although Leto looked confident on the red carpet, his stylist admitted that it is often hard to keep him from looking feminine when he wears his hair down.

    “It’s really important that he doesn’t look like a woman,” the stylist said. “It’s been hard to have him not end up on the ‘best hair’ lists — and that definitely hasn’t been our intention. We’ve had all of these actresses, like Olivia Wilde and Rachel Bilson and Julia Roberts, asking about his hair. He has amazing hair, so it’s kind of inevitable.”

  • Jared Leto Is A Near Guarantee To Win an Oscar

    There are front-runners and then there are guarantees. Jared Leto seems as much as a guarantee as possible to take home the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor on Sunday night at the 86th Academy Awards. From Time Magazine to The Huffington Post to The New York Daily News, almost every critic is predicting that the 42-year-old is as good as gold to receive the trophy for his portrayal as a transgender HIV Positive woman named Rayon in the powerful drama Dallas Buyer’s Club.

    Leto’s competition for Best Supporting Actor:

    Barkhad Abdi, Captain Phillips
    Bradley Cooper, American Hustle
    Michael Fassbender, 12 Years A Slave
    Jonah Hill, The Wolf of Wall Street

    While a case could be made for any other contender, especially Johah Hill’s over the top comedic performance in Martin Scorsese’s The Wolf of Wall Street, Leto leaving without a statue on Sunday would be a shock to the industry. Leto’s transformation to Rayon is considered a career best for the actor who actually “retired” from the Hollywood life for the past six years in order to front his rock band Thirty Seconds to Mars.

    Leto has already swept most the critic’s awards this year. He also won both the Golden Globe and the Screen Actor’s Guild trophies. Leto, who is known as a method actor, totally disappeared into the role of Rayon. Although, Matthew McConaughey is the star of the film and the Dallas Buyer’s Club is his vision to provide HIV Positive patients with affordable and effective medicine outside of the health care system, it is Leto’s Rayon that turns McConaughey’s Ron Woodroof from a homophobic bigot to a compassionate caring man.

    The actor describes Rayon like a living person, rather than a character on a page. “She’s an incredible, empathetic, beautiful dreamer. A heart the size of an ocean. She’s an absolutely one-of-a-kind creature. So, a lot of love and support for her as well. I feel like she became a person, a real person. Especially because I was so deep inside of her. I really feel like I got to know this person. It became like a living, breathing life. It was a once-in-a-lifetime role.”

    It’s clear that Leto brought that passion for the role into his performance. She wasn’t just a drag queen with AIDS, Rayon was a deep soul with kindness in her heart. Leto should have his Oscar speech ready to go, there are no guarantees in life, but the chances weigh heavily in his favor that he will have “Academy Award Winner” next to his name come Sunday night.

  • Lupita Nyong’o and Jared Leto Dating Rumors Surface

    In today’s era of 24-hour news coverage, celebrity shows, and gossip sites, we often hear about celebrities hooking up and dating each other. And while sometimes the stories are true, other times they seem more like wishful thinking on the fan’s part.

    Well now, the latest celebrity couple to hit the rumor mill are actors Lupita Nyong’o, from the film 12 Years a Slave, and Jared Leto, who’s been getting a lot of praise for his role in the movie Dallas Buyers Club, starring Matthew McConaughey.

    According to the New York Post, Nyong’o and Leto were seen together enjoying some of the festivities surrounding New York Fashion Week, as witnesses have seen the two cuddling at one of the parties in downtown Manhattan.

    “They were huddled at a corner table together looking very close,” a source for the New York Post revealed.

    They were also seen at an after party for the SAG Awards in Hollywood, and again, they looked like they attended together, as opposed to showing up individually and meeting up once they got there.

    Of course, neither actor has discussed their rumored relationship, but with Nyong’o being 30 and at the top of her game, and Leto being 42 and arguably having the best year of his career, some might say they would make the perfect Hollywood power couple.

    In regards to her sudden rise in fame, Nyong’o said she’s been caught off guard because she had no idea 12 Years a Slave would be so well received.

    “I didn’t know how, and we all didn’t know how the world would take this film,” she said. “It’s not easy subject matter. It’s heavy but it’s beautiful and you hope that people would at least open their eyes to see it–and then they did. So my first feeling was relief that it had been so well received and then they just kept receiving it and celebrating it and the conversation has been developing and shifting.”

  • Jared Leto Thinks Losing Weight Sucks

    Jared Leto Thinks Losing Weight Sucks

    Jared Leto might do a lot of things, but one he vows he’ll never do again is lose weight for a role.

    The actor recently shed upwards of 30 pounds for his role as an AIDS-infected, drug-addicted transvestite in the film Dallas Buyers Club, opposite Matthew McConaughey and Jennifer Garner.

    Losing 30 pounds is difficult for just about anyone, but when you don’t need to lose it in the first place, and when you have to do it in a short amount of time, like Leto, doing so can be extremely hard and debilitating, not to mention unhealthy.

    Leto revealed that losing the weight began to “take its toll,” but that he doesn’t regret doing so, as it was vital to the role.

    The 30 Seconds to Mars singer was rewarded for his efforts, as he received an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor.

    Check out Leto’s uncomfortable encounter with a fan who disapproved of the actor playing the role, here:

    This isn’t the first time Leto experienced a major body transformation for a movie role. Back in 2007, Leto gained 67 pounds to play Mark Chapman, the man who shot Beatles member John Lennon on December 8, 1980, in the biopic Chapter 27.

    Along with a drastic change in appearance, the actor also experienced a variety of health problems because of the weight gain.

    “Really, it’s a stupid thing to do,” Leto stated in an interview. “I got gout, and my cholesterol went up so fast in such a short time that my doctors wanted to put me on Lipitor, which is for much, much older people. Again, though, a fascinating journey.”

    This journey is perhaps what intrigued Leto to take on the role of the man who murdered one of the world’s best musicians.

    “I had some reservations because I love everything John Lennon ever did,” he said. “But in the end I wanted to explore a specimen embodying the total failure of humanity, just walk down this brutal path again.”

  • Giuliana Rancic’s Best SAG Awards Red Carpet Interviews

    Giuliana Rancic interviews contain a little cheese, lots of fun and many weird encounters. Sometimes they’re more entertaining than the actual award shows. At the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) awards’ red carpet, Rancic showed her talent for creating quick witty remarks.

    Rancic did three really memorable SAG interviews last night. They showed her energetic interviewing style and the playful sides of her interviewees.

    #3. Cate Blanchett Flirts with Rancic

    Rancic revealed her obsession with Cate Blanchett, which sparked quick quips between the women. “I’m married,” Blanchett responded to Rancic’s praises. To which Rancic replied with fake disappointment. Then Blanchett questioned the camera crew about panning to the bottom of her dress, she found that action odd. Next Rancic pointed out the other ridiculous things they do, like placing a tiara on the camera. Later in their discussion, Blanchett admitted she kept an Armani suit she bought with her first major pay check. “I wore it so much it’s threadbare,” Blanchett told Rancic.

    An unexpected visit from Kevin Spacey, who planned to “Video bomb” Blanchett, ended the interview. The friends and co-stars appeared in The Shipping News together in 2001.

    #2. Jennifer Lawrence’s “armpit vagina”

    Jennifer Lawrence did her usual slightly awkward interview at this year’s SAG red carpet. Rancic asked Lawrence about her dress, and she mentioned her arm fat. As the interview continued, she called it her “armpit vagina.” Then Rancic changed the subject to Lawrence’s Taylor Swift photo bombing incident from the Golden Globes. Lawrence gave a playful lashing to “Tom with the bowtie” for not telling her that the cameras were rolling during the Golden Globes red carpet.

    #1. An Unexpected Love Connection

    Rancic’s best interview involved a Game of Thrones star and a rock star. Emilia Clarke found herself suddenly in the arms of Jared Leto while trying to leave an interview. Leto commented on how beautiful Clarke’s eyes were and wouldn’t let her go during it. Rancic was so amused by the incident that she let Clarke interview Leto for a while. Later in the interview, Rancic revealed her unexpected connection to Leto, their siblings dated when Rancic was thirteen.

    She later mentioned this interview to Matthew McConaughey and wife Camila Alves.
