In this week’s New York magazine, contributing writer Lizzy Goodman talks to Jared Leto about 30 Seconds to Mars’s new album, and about being a sort of self-help rock messiah. Says Leto:

“I have this drive to help deliver all of us—me included—to a place where we can feel free. We spent time in art colonies as kids, where there was a real sense of community, and I think it came from that. People forge bonds at a bar, at church, at work. It happens in Scientology, it happens in ­Catholicism, and it happens with us.”

Sigh. Jared Leto was so much dreamier as “My So-Called Life’s” slacker hunk Jordan Catalano than his current incarnation: the pseudo-rock ’n’ roller who roamed through the Coachella Music Festival in California last weekend. This is our official campaign: Jared, ditch the scruff and bring back the Jordan that was so beautiful, it hurt Angela Chase just to look at you.

Hardcore fans of 30 Seconds to Mars aren’t the only ones who want more of the band’s music. Virgin Records has sued the group for $30 million, saying it has failed to deliver.

Virgin Records sued the band and front man Jared Leto in Los Angeles on Friday, claiming they refused to deliver three albums as required by its contract.

The band’s last album, “A Beautiful Lie,” was released in 2005.

A publicist for Leto, an actor who starred in the film “Requiem for a Dream” and the TV show “My So-Called Life,” did not return a message Friday.

According to the lawsuit, the band “repudiated” a 1999 contract in July.

Despite the absence of a new album, the band’s hit “From Yesterday” was deemed one of 2007′s Top 10 “Hot Modern Rock Songs” by Billboard magazine.

Paris Hilton is at Sundance to promote her new film The Hottie and the Nottie, but that doesn’t mean she can’t fit in some snogging time as well.

The heiress was photographed last night at Hyde Lounge in Park City, Utah, making out with actor Jared Leto, and PageSix.com can reveal that the couple have been “play-dates” since Paris was 16.

A source close to the twosome told us, “Paris and Jared are not dating seriously, but this is not the first time they have made out — there just weren’t any cameras around before.”

“She likes him and she thinks he is really sexy and fun,” the source says, but Paris has told PageSix.com in the past, “I don’t want a boyfriend right now, I travel too much and don’t have time for a relationship.” Guess Jared will just have to settle for Paris’ support (she loves his band 30 Seconds to Mars) and the occasional spit-swapping.

Life & Style reports in its new issue that this is the second time Paris has put the moves on frenemy Lindsay Lohan’s former beau in the last few days. On January 19 at Tao, “She started giving [Jared] a lap dance,” a partygoer tells the mag. “He was uncomfortable at first, but he started to enjoy it. By the time she leaned in to kiss him, he was all for it.”

Despite spending the weekend with Jared, however, Paris is sticking to her no boyfriend rule. According to the new issue of In Touch, she hooked up with ex Simon Rex on Friday!

Way to keep ‘em guessing, Paris!

 

Ashley Olsen, 21, and Jared Leto, 36 — who dated briefly in 2005 — turned heads while holding hands at the Art of Elysium gala in L.A. on Jan. 12, Us Weekly reports in its latest issue, on newsstands now.

“They looked like a couple and they were making out,” a witness tells Us.

But an Olsen insider denies the duo are back on: “They aren’t back together. They’re friends.”

Olsen – recently ridiculed for wearing fur – was linked to Lance Armstrong in November.

Jared Leto has told Sienna Miller she can lose weight on a diet of curry powder and “lots of sex”.

Sienna was forced to pile on the pounds for her role in new film ‘Hippie Hippie Shake’, and the ‘Fight Club’ star has recommended his unique weight-loss technique as a great way to slim back down.

A source told Britain’s Daily Express newspaper: “He can lose 14lbs in a month on an all-liquid diet by mixing water with curry powder or pepper and combining it with lots of sex.

“Apparently Sienna was amused by his advice as she has had to put 7lbs in the past few weeks for her role as a flower child in the film ‘Hippie Hippie Shake’.”

Jared, 35, was introduced to Sienna by ‘Notting Hill’ star Rhys Ifans – who is rumoured to be dating Sienna – while filming ‘Mr. Nobody’ in London.

Jared and Rhys both appear in ‘Mr. Nobody’, in which Jared stars as Nemo Nobody, a normal man who is enjoying a run-of-the-mill existence with his wife and three children when he suddenly wakes up as a 120-year-old man in the year 2092.

Sienna and Rhys have been spotted together frequently in recent weeks, sparking rumours their close friendship has blossomed into love.

Penthouse Pet of the Year runner-up Krista Ayne slept with Jared Leto but only gave him a 7 out of 10 for his performance in bed. Ayne tells Steppin’ Out’s Chance Hayden that the heavily eyelined actor and musician hit on her and asked for her number at an open meet-and-greet where he was signing copies of his band’s CD. He didn’t call until months later when Ayne had to ask, “Jared who?” “We still text-message each other, but it’s very casual . . . I think music really changed him. It makes me feel bad.”

Add Jimmy Kimmel to the list of people who really can’t stand eyeliner-loving Jared Leto. The late-night show host told Stuff magazine he’d rather not welcome Leto back as a guest. When asked if Kimmel ever had to hide his disdain for a guest, he chose the actor/rocker. “He was so insufferably satisfied with himself that I wanted to strangle him,” said Kimmel. It’s not hard to see why Stuff voted the comedian, “The Biggest Bad-Ass on TV.”
