Jared Leto Smashes His Nose Up For His Crappy Band
Then buzz it up

The world is full of dreadful vanity projects - think Rudebox, Sting's useless lute album or anything starring Ben Affleck - but possibly the worst of the lot is 30 Seconds To Mars, Jared Leto's band; but the world knows this, and it wants them destroyed.
But even though 30 Seconds To Mars are so bad that we have to start smashing in our teeth with hammers the moment we hear one of their songs just to replace the bad noise with something else, it doesn't mean that Jared Leto doesn't suffer for his art. At a recent 30 Seconds To Mars show, for example, Jared Leto attempted to do a Bono-style walk through the audience to 'connect' with his 'people' or 'something' and ended up in hospital with his nose splattered all across his face.
Noses are tricky things, and they need to be looked after. Snort too many drugs like Tara Palmer Tomkinson, for example, and your nose will collapse and make you look like a rugby player. But if you treat your nose well, the sky is the limit - look at Jennifer Aniston - she treated her nose to surgery recently to make up for the nonexistent boob-job that she didn't have; or Ashlee Simpson, who did the same but is still as chronically unfamous as ever.
Jared Leto would do well to heed this, though, because he treats his nose like an arsehole. Last Thursday in El Paso, Texas, Jared Leto broke his nose and injured his foot when a 30 Seconds To Mars crowd treated a Jared Leto crowd walkabout as an excuse to break the nose of the self-important pretty boy from Panic Room, as E! Online reports:
The 30 Seconds to Mars frontman suffered a broken nose and other injuries Thursday during a Taste of Chaos tour stop in El Paso, Texas… Leto unintentionally caused an audience-powered melee when he ventured into the crowd at County Coliseum during a performance of "The Kill," prompting thousands of fans to rush toward him with an urgency unseen since Claire Danes made eyes at him on My So-Called Life. No fans were seriously hurt in the scuffle, according to a spokesperson for the band, but in addition to the wounded schnoz, Leto also suffered a foot injury and superficial wounds to his face and body.
Apparently Jared Leto continued the gig with his bloody nose and then scarpered off to hospital quicker than you can say "I'm a filmstar! My face is my fortune! Put it back together! Please!" - which would be an admirable act of courage until you realise that 30 Seconds To Mars are an appalling band that people only want to see because the fat bloke from that John Lennon film sings for them.
Still, it looks like the Elijah Wood Vs Jared Leto feud is already starting to go Frodo's way. Unless getting a broken nose at a concert counts as a victory. Which it might. We'd check the rules, but we're really not arsed.

JARED’S BAND IS NOT CRAPPY!!! YOU OBVIOUSLY DONT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT HIM OR YOU WOULD KNOW THAT JUST BECAUSE HE’S AN ACTOR, THAT DOESNT MEAN THAT ALL HE CARES ABOUT IS HOW GOOD HIS FACE LOOKS.

I give up with outraged fans, I really do. Are you trolling or not? The ALL CAPS says no, you are really a mental; the correctly placed apostrophe hints otherwise. Come on, ‘fess up.

Indeed GW, multiple personalities also says yes, but the lack of the required IQ to make multiple personalities look like different people says no. Tricky.
And no, Bobby/Jimmi, they’re not crappy. If they try really hard for a very long time, they might improve enough to warrant the crappy label, but at the moment they are well and truly stuck in the joke category.

According to Jared himself, reports of a broken nose are “greatly exagerrated” so back off! Also, for such a crappy band it sure gets alot of airplay.
March 8th, 2007 at 4:57 pm
30 seconds to mars does NOT suck!!! Not everyone likes them, they’re not everybody’s cup of tea, but they’re a good, solid band. I admire Jared for not giving a fuck whether or not he breaks his nose giving his fans a good show. I am looking forward to seeing him when he comes to my town, broken nose or not. Why don’t you try to achieve what he has before you rag on him. I think he is a very talented person; the fact that he is incredibly handsome as well should not detract from that. Face it, you’re just jealous!

It is interesting to me that only the people who agree with the article have “valid” opinions. Let me just ignore the fact that I do like the band and Leto, I would still have to admire anyone who gets their nose broken for their fans and still plays. Come on, would you do that? I know I surely would not, and I’m not even a pretty boy.

their band aint crappy!!!!!!fool!!!!!!!thier latest album is platinum, does that say something to you? get a life you saddo, instead of trying to ruin others!

I humbly submit that Russell Crowe’s band is the worst vanity project ever- 30 odd foot of wankers . Thankfully I’ve never been subjected to Mr Leto’s sterling efforts in the field, but I love the outraged comments. It’s enough to make you kiss the Girfriend special bonus posters lovingly blu-takked to the walls.
April 26th, 2007 at 8:04 pm
i love ya alot.
May 3rd, 2007 at 12:06 pm
omfg your joking!! jared is the most amazing celebrity i admire! the band is amazing!! maybe you should leave your opinions to yourself because theres loads of us out there who admire leto and his band. seriously…some people like yourself may not enjoy their music which is fair enough but some like me, love it….oh, and jareds nose…a pure accident obviously. suddenly because he’s a celebrity, hes an outrageous clutz and his reputation is stuffed…to me thats just not fair. you cant just talk about people this way…i have nothing against you but i dnt like your opinions…so im just giving you mine wether you like it or not….

Jared Leto is awesome and his band is amazing.Obviously you havent listened to the band before! When he broke his nose it was totally an accident.Just because he is an actor doesnt mean he can’t sing, and he sings extremely well.I acree Netta, you should keep your opinions to yourself. So many people love their band so you can’t say that the world does wants their band destroyed.

Also, the broken nose is because a 16 yearold girl I know punched him in the face.
July 22nd, 2007 at 11:17 pm
No, they smashed him against the wall of excitement. Unfortunatly for him he came with his face against it. (don’t believe me? Watch the interviews he has giving about this subject)
August 28th, 2007 at 11:31 pm
I have to tell you just one thing. 30 seconds to mars is the best band ever!!! And if you have to break your teeth when you listen to them, well i hope you’d listen to them a lot!!
August 29th, 2007 at 7:06 am
Christ, I’m sick of outraged fans.
Well, no, I’m not really, but I am sick of:
“Obviously you havent listened to the band ”
A small poll showed this expression in 92% of outraged fans rants on HSpray.
Fans, I’ve got an expression for you, it’s called “cultural diversity”
October 26th, 2007 at 4:13 pm
oh my god how can you say his band is crappy its if not probably the best band I have ever heard!
Its everything but crappy!
plus++++++
He’s mega hotts
October 29th, 2007 at 2:14 am
WTF!!!
30 Seconds To Mars is a freaking awesome band. And Jared Leto himself is a teriific actor. So, just because you have a completely crappy opinion of the band, and it’s singer, doesn’t mean everyone else thinks so too. Also, 30STM are the best band for creating closeness with their fans, even by staying after every show for a meet and greet with them. This should in NO way be confused for bigheadedness.
November 12th, 2007 at 10:23 pm
ok i dont have a problem with u dislikin a bad ’30stm’ but i realy hate the way u go and slate them on the internet because of it, he is a bl00dy good singer annd their music is above average, if u dont like them dont listen to them, go stick to ur 50 cent or watever ‘music’ ur into
ps. im sure ur a lovly person realy … just got a little crappy music taste is all =D

You are a fucking bastard, 30 seconds to mars is the best band ever, and i dont agree with the last entry i dont think you’re a lovely person, you probably deserve a microphone shoved in your ass for being such a fucking idiot. Although I’m sure having a microphone in your ass is a lot easier to take than what you sit on dumbass. Jared Leto Rocks. So stop trying to publicly humiliate him for clearly being much more successful than you. I hope you’re proud of yourself for being a fucking idiot. so go home and sit on it you fucking wank!

Over the past few years I have seen well over 100 bands play live, from all different types of music, from Cradle of Filth, to Bused, to Blondie. And 30STM are 100% one of the best I have ever seen. I have been a big fan of them since 2005, and for me they have taken music to a whole new level, they try to conncet with their fans waaaaay more then most bands, they spend time doing signings even when they are ill and tired. I myself am studying music at college and please trust me when I say they are a seriously talented band.
February 22nd, 2008 at 3:03 pm
Look, I’m in college, okay? That means I’m really smart. They don’t let dumb people in college. And music majors of the smartest of the smarts. And that’s me. Top smart of all the smarts at college. And if I like some shitty band, it must mean they are good, and not that I have the musical taste of a tone-deaf Downs patient.

I think his band is cool and has good music. But, when I saw a picture of him when he let himself go in March my heart sunk. I couldn’t beleive what had become of him. “Did he really look like that?” I thought, so I read it and found out it was really him. It was really the singer I looked up to. I might never ever listen to his music again. Why did he do that to himself? Why?!?!?!?!
March 15th, 2008 at 1:46 am
WHAT!?!?!?!?!
30 Seconds to mars is the best band dont eva say there crappy
June 30th, 2008 at 2:36 pm
what the hell?!
30 seconds to mars arent crappy, they make well good music.
