Beijing Olympics Celebrity Watch: Jared Leto Special Edition

Jared Leto is threatening to overshadow the Beijing Olympics or at least eclipse the media frenzy over scorpions on a stick. The Fight Club and Panic Room actor / 30 Seconds to Mars band member is everywhere it seems - contributors to this blog have spotted him at no fewer than five places in our fair city.

Jared LetoJared, if you are reading this, I can improve your celebrity watching experience. I can produce six trustworthy people to watch you for up to 30 minutes at a Beijing bar of our choice (you have to pay for your own drinks). Let me know.

By the way, according to this site, “Jared’s favorite foods are popcorn and vegetables, and his favorite drink is hot chocolate.” He also apparently once said, “I used to like to break into other people’s houses and sit in their rooms. I found it very comforting to be in someone’s empty house.” He is of no relation to Jay Leno, even though they almost share the same family name.

    @ Fletch,

    Not yet. Keep an eye out.

    @ Mary Ann,

    I guess he will have to settle for eating the stick.

    Cheers, Boyce

    “He is of no relation to Jay Leno, even though they almost share the same family name.”

    I found that hilarious.
