Alexander's Man
Jared Leto is on the cover of the new issue of Out magazine. As you may, or may not know, he is co-starring with Colin Farrell in the movie Alexander. Jared is playing Hephaestion, the best friend, confidant, general and most likely lover of Alexander the Great (played by Farrell). The Out article is an interesting read. Like most articles on straight actors playing gay roles, this article takes great pains to declare over and over and over that Jared is straight. Mention is made of his relationship with Cameron Diaz ("I've had one girlfriend my entire life," he says of her) and he is again linked with Scarlett Johansson. But, if the right man came along ... Jared says:
"... [I]f I saw a man and I was attracted ... I would probably follow through with it. Of course, that's easy for me to say now. If it happened, maybe it would be a confusing and difficult thing, considering the world that we live in."Yeah whatever. I think he did a great job in Requiem for a Dream and I am mildly entertained by 30 Seconds to Mars so I'm pretty sure he'll do a good job in Alexander. I also have to admit that I do like his hair. He's got the look that I am going for. I'm not sure if I'll be able to grow it out quite like his but that is the gist that I'm going for.
In other "probably gay boy" news, I just saw the video for On The Way Down by Ashlee Simpson cast-off Ryan Cabrera. It's a catchy pop song with a pre-brunette Ashlee splashed all over the video. Hmm, I don't get it. Why would they go ahead and release the video of the two of them if they just broke up? You don't think it's some ploy to say that they're broken up and then still use the video of them together to sway sympathy towards him in order to boost record sales, do you? I mean that would only work if they were both managed by the same person ... hey, wait a minute ...
