E! Online reports that Lindsay Lohan took some time to flirt with former boyfriend Jared Leto at the Roosevelt Hotel the other night.
Jared Leto and company are plugging away at an album we might never hear, in Bigger Than the Sound.
Here is one thing you probably do not know about Jared Leto: He is a hugger.
I discovered this on Monday, when I spent the afternoon with 30 Seconds to Mars at Leto's rather amazing home in Los Angeles and was wrapped in his gentle embrace no less than a dozen times. In the upstairs sitting room, down by the pool, in the control room of his studio ... Leto was there for me, waiting with outstretched arms. Seriously, it was like visiting my grandma, if my grandma A) had a decidedly postmodern interior-design scheme and B) were friends with Kanye West.
To say that it was possibly the most surreal afternoon of my entire career would be an understatement of epic proportions. And that was before Leto sat me down, stared at me with those steely blue eyes of his, patted my knee and presented me with a gift: a box of steel-cut oatmeal (since I had joked in a blog post that he was killing us with all the cupcakes he had been sending to the MTV newsroom). Oh, and he filmed the exchange for a movie he's working on and made me sign a release form.

So here we are, after almost a year at war, and the time has come. The time to make peace, to move ahead, and to begin again. We are finally and thankfully at a place where we are excited and relieved to put behind us one of the most challenging battles of our entire careers.
For almost a year now we have been in Los Angeles, California, putting our hearts, hopes, and dreams into making a record that means absolutely everything to us. In addition to this incredible and creative adventure, we have had the added challenge of carrying the rather heavy burden of a 30 million dollar lawsuit filed against us by EMI records. Not the most ideal of conditions to make a record under but an integral part of our story nonetheless.
We are now nearly finished with our new record and have found ourselves in a place ready to accept an end to the arduous conflict with our former label. There are many reasons that have contributed to this decision but overall the willingness and enthusiasm by EMI to address our major concerns and issues, the opportunity to return to work with a team so committed and passionate about Thirty Seconds to Mars, and the company's dedication to changing the status quo of the business of recorded music made this choice possible. We have decided it best for the music, for the fans, and for Thirty Seconds to Mars to accept a resolution with EMI.

Frontman Jared Leto says 'The Summit' allowed 30STM fans to participate in new material.
LOS ANGELES — You'd think every day is a great one for Jared Leto, but the last two have been pretty ridiculously amazing even by his standards.
On Sunday, he and his 30 Seconds to Mars bandmates hosted "The Summit," an impromptu gathering of fans at Hollywood's Avalon club ... that just so happened to draw roughly 1,000 supporters from all over the U.S. and Europe (a number that's even more impressive considering the band announced details of the meet-up last week).
Then, on Monday, he took to 30STM's MySpace Celebrity page to field questions from nearly 700,000 friends (presumably those who couldn't make it to "The Summit") in a live video chat. And he invited MTV News to his L.A. home to watch it all happen.
While we'll have more on 30STM in the coming days, we figured we'd get to the past 48 hours first.
