Jared Leto Chooses Back-Up Dancers the Way Other Men Choose Prostitutes
Jared Leto handpicks a gyrating babe for his next music video. Brangelina spend the day at a bath house. Chelsea Handler and 50 Cent: Back on? Monday gossip could use a good steam bath.
- Jared Leto chooses dancers for his band's music videos the way rich men in movies choose prostitutes: He showed up at a fancy night club, requested access to the dancers' private dressing room, then "lined them up in the dressing room, asked them to show off a few moves, and decided on a young Russian blonde who couldn't believe her luck." Then she went to an expensive store, said, "Do you work on commission? Big mistake," doused the room with gasoline, and burned that motherfucking store to the ground. Rom-coms are better with horror story endings. Anyway, here's a picture of Leto's band, 30 Seconds to Mars. They look like the cast for an indie movie about disaffected east Berliners who start a rock band to deal with the psychic pain of learning about capitalism for the first time at the age of 27. But in a good way! [P6, image via Bauer-Griffin]

- Brangelina and the kids spent a rainy day in Budapest at Lukács Gyógyfürdo, "an indoor-outdoor thermal bath facility famed for its healing properties since the 12th century." I'm proud of any American brave enough to trek to a place with such an imposslble-to-pronounce name. [People]
- Playboy's new mark: Mel Gibson ex and phone rage recipient Oksana Grigorieva, who is swimming in debt. They'll give her $75K for a "full nude" pictorial. [TMZ]

- Sighting: Most hated couple in America Jesse James and Kat Von D lunching in West Hollywood, K-I-S-S-I-N-G between cheesy enchilada bites. To apologize for making everyone present vomit in their mouths, they "left a generous tip." [People]
- Meanwhile, Kat "went nuclear" over Jesse appearing in her reality show L.A. Ink. She ordered producers to scrub all Jesse footage, which is odd, because if he's in it he would have had to sign a release, so it's not like it'd be a surprise, right? Now TLC worries the'll have to "pack the show with extra commercials to fill out the time." [TMZ]
