When Jared Leto strode into ABC Carpet & Home for the Erin Wasson x RVCA runway show, I definitely did a double take. Bundled up in a pom-pom winter hat with skull details and awkwardly standing near the front of the runway, I second-guessed my celebrity spotting. Could it really be Jordan Catalano at a fashion event? But, yes, it was and as soon as the photographers caught a look at him, flash bulbs lit the dim space. Despite the slight celebrity appearances this season at Fashion Week, there are a few reappearing stars—including Jared. Ever since the style festivities began, he’s sat front row for not only Erin’s show, but also Calvin Klein Men’s and Robert Gellar, and he also partied with Charlotte Ronson after her showing.
Now we have to wonder: Is Jared studying fashion’s new collections as an aspiring editor or will he join the trend of celebrities-turned-designers and launch his own line? Or maybe he’s just there for the models?
“Love is when you look into someone’s eyes and suddenly you go all the way inside, to their soul, and you both know instantly. I always imagined I’d fall in love nursing a blind soldier who was wounded in battle. Or maybe while rescuing someone in the middle of a blizzard, seconds before the avalanche hits.”
Angela Chase of “My So Called Life” said lots of words to live by, if you were an awkward, 15-year-old sophomore in high school in 1994. Which I was. And I was especially fond of her deep musings about love or, more specifically, her musings about Jordan Catalano. If Angela could go for Jordan Catalano, then so could I, I thought. Well not him exactly—but an alternative him. Sure, it seemed a tad unrealistic considering that no remotely hot guys went to my high school. And even if they did, they would never look twice at me, the bookish, alternative, theater girl. But still, I believed.
Have you heard? Man bangs are OVER. Chace Crawford, Zac Efron, and Jared Leto have ditched their fringe in recent days and all three look way more handsome as a result. After the jump, six other dudes who should seriously consider a visit with the scissors. [Gatecrasher]
We were loyal fans of the sexy nighttime soap opera, “Melrose Place,” so we are so excited it’s getting a facelift and coming back to television. However, after the hack job they did on the new “90210”, we are very afraid about what the CW network might do to the other delicious Aaron Spelling drama! We want to help them help us. Here are the actors that would make us stay home to watch (and drool over) Melrose Place 2.0, after the jump.
We get it, it’s for a role (playing John Lennon killer Mark David Chapman in Chapter 27). But still. Eww. [IMDB: Chapter 27]
What makes rockers hot other than skinny pants and good hair? Guyliner, aka a thin, manly line made with a black pencil that says, “I’ve got a steady hand.” And an impressive string of straight men have been rockin’ the glam look. Like the guy we all wanted to loose our virginities to, Jordan Catalano, er, I mean Jared Leto. While back in the day his TV classmate Ricky was workin’ the liner, now Leto strokes a guitar and a black pencil as the lead singer of 30 Seconds To Mars. But Leto’s not alone in the black and the blues—plenty of his fellow rock n’ rollers are lining up too. Everyone, from emo babyface Gerard Way of My Chemical Romance to 40-something Californicator Anthony Kiedis of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, has been penciling in. Especially Ashlee Simpson’s other half, teeny boppin’ Fall Out Boy Pete Wentz. Swoon for yourself….
One of the greatest gifts I got this holiday was the My So-Called Life complete box set. In case you weren’t part of the show’s demographic during its unjustly short lifespan (one amazing, wonderful season), here’s a synopsis: the show follows 15-year old Angela Chase as she tries to make it through life at her suburban high school, hanging out with her new “rebellious” friends Rayanne (the drunk) and Rickie (the gay), barely able to stand her parents Patty and Graham, and falling head over heels for bad boy (and totally illiterate!) heartthrob Jordan Catalano. So MSCL was hands down my favorite TV show ever and I, like many girls I know, so empathized with Angela’s character—the writers did a stupendous job capturing the teen angst meets boy crazy obsession that makes teen girls so….hard to understand, usually. Anyway, I kind of wondered whether the show would still resonate with me though I’m now older, much less angsty, and a whole lot less boy crazy. For example, would I wisely now see the appeal of Angela’s nerdy neighbor Brian Krakow over the insanely gorgeous, but also rude and dumb-as-rocks Jordan? Um, yeah. No. Brian, while used and abused by Angela still seems totally….deserving of her contempt 14 years later while Jordan’s silent but deadly indifference still is the stuff that drives girls, and apparently women, wild. Not to get all cerebral about a TV show, but does this prove that bad boys still finish first and nice guys will always finish last? [Amazon.com]
