New Stupid Feud: Jared Leto vs. Elijah Wood
Then buzz it up

It seems Jared Leto doesn't like it when people diss his band, 30 Seconds to Mars. This was a bitter lesson Elijah Wood learned when the two got into a hobbit-sized scuffle in October at the MTVU Woodie Awards.
This titbit of recycled drama was needlessly resurrected when Wood, who is obviously mature enough to let things go, recently detailed the spat in a recent interview for Jane magazine (where he no doubt also reveals his secrets to flawless, timeless skin). We're all sure to see some quick resolution now that it's been brought out into the open, because that worked so well for Rosie O’Donnell and Donald Trump.
Apparently, Jared Leto got his undies all in a bunch after Elijah Wood made this statement in past interview:
"I would never try to be like other actors and attempt to make (music) myself. I mean, have you heard 30 Seconds to Mars? … awful, man!"
Jared Leto, it seems, held a bit of a grudge towards the former Frodo. During an encounter at the awards show, Leto grabbed Wood and tried to choke him, and gave him a talking to that made our young, impressionable ears burn. How dare Elijah insult Jared’s genre-hopping antics! Woody better not make the same mistake again if Jared ends up peddling his own perfume and fashion lines like EVERY OTHER STAR (we’re looking at you, J-Lo, Paris and Britney). Elijah Wood continued to explain his side saying,
"I told Jared it wasn't personal… He acted like I'd been disrespecting him or speaking about his family… The whole thing was kind of ridiculous."
Ridiculous? Yes. Not personal? No. Isolating one band to represent your disdain for an entire class of celebrities is pretty personal.
Leto's also been making news recently for other angst-related issues, such as picking fights with photographers and club-hoppers at the Sundance Film Festival. All of these outbursts may just be a manifestation of deeper issues. Was he not loved as a child? Is he crying out for attention in the only way he knows how? Or can it be traced to the actuality that people still only recognise him from the nineties teen drama, My So-Called Life. We think Jerry just needs a big hug.
So, just for kicks and giggles, who would you put your money on if they had come to blows? Besides being taller, Jared has the angry, druggy, rocker thing going, but Elijah has battled trolls and stuff, so he probably fights dirty.
Hmmm… We can’t decide. It’s probably a moot point because they'd most likely just sissy-slap one another and pull each other’s hair.

I Heard Elijah Dissed Shannon, and thats what got Jared pissed, you shouldn’t ever mess with the Leto brothers, as for the fight, i’d put all my savings on Jared anyday, Elijah is a Pussy, Jared has the strength and guts to beat the living sh*t out of Elijah. remember in LOTR 3 when Elijah has no shirt on, and then ofcourse Jared has several pictures with no shirt, tell me, who looked stronger?

I think Jarod would only have to let out one of those heart-stopping screams and shine his beautiful teeth at Elijah and he would start crying like a Newborn Hobbit.

Jared is totally way hotter than Mr. hobbit freak a zoid and i think Jared would beat the crap out of Elijah and i would love to see it because the lord of ring movies are probably the most gayest longest crappy movies EVER!!! aND I TOTALLY LOVE 30stm they are like one of the best bands ever and my favorite Jared I hope you read this because i Know you would win the fight.

OMG. Okay, so I totally love the LOTR, both movies and books. However, I cannot for any reason see why Elijah, however big and blue his eyes are, would diss 30 Seconds to Mars, one of my absolute favorite bands. And as for who would win in a fight, I would have to say Jared, all the way, cuz even though Elijah’s “fought trolls” and whatnot (which he didn’t really do in the movie, since they cut that part, and he was only Frodo in the movie) it was totally acting with all the choreography and all. I mean, look at the guy. He looks like he’s younger than my little sister. On the other hand, Jared… oh, wow.

Jared leto ti amo!!
February 10th, 2008 at 4:54 pm
for clarification, Jared Leto isn’t on drugs. This article is a shameful piece of ‘journalism’.
First rule of Journalism, you don’t compromise yourself by who you like ~*~more~*~.
Personally I think Elijah had no right to say that about 30 Seconds To Mars.
The point being, Elijah wouldn’t make music because he CAN’T make music. That’s why he only DJs now and then. And with a laptop.
As he said himself “DJ purists would hate me.”
Seems that musicians are starting to hate you too Lij, keep your trap shut like it belongs.
And don’t talk trash about Shannon Leto.

I don’t care how famous or “omg like omg he’s like so f***ing HOT” someone is, and they assaulted me like that, I’d press charges. I didn’t know Leto could get anymore immature then he already is, hmmm guess I was proved wrong. But hey, I used to be a fan but I backed out as soon as he started assaulting the people that pay HIM with microphones! And for those people trying to label Leto’s actions as a noble defence of his brother, then your just as immature as he is. What gives celebrities the right to lay hands on other people and get away with it? It makes me sick.

Elijah Wood is like, so stupid. He was saying that Jared shouldn’t over-react coz it’s not like he dissed his family or something. Jared feels like his band members are his family, and his fucking brother is in the band. Now, on the lighter note of things, I would like to ssmack Elijah Wood upside his hobbit face, and tell him “You fuck with 30STM, or anyone in 30STM, you fuck with the Echelon.” So prepare to recieve some VERY abuive emails fucker.
