12 days with no mainstream media sounds like the best thing ever.

[Bell Bouy II]

Never heard of the guy, thankfully

[irishjuggler]

Somehow, I’m reminded of Dana Carvey’s Church Lady line...

“Well, isn’t that special...”

[nascarnation]

same here...sports? Hollywood? televangelist?

[Bratch]

[Savage Beast]

Hey, Jared,

SURPRISE!

[Osage Orange]

What dude...use’s Emoji’s?

[Hatteras]

Facility? Who goes to meditate at a "facility"? Arn't you supposed to sit Indian style (can you still say that?) high up on a ledge outside of a cliff-side cave, overlooking the wonders of God's creation... or something?

(No idea who this person is...)

[Red Badger]

GO BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......................

[Eleutheria5]

Go back to the dessert. Meditate there. Return in a few weeks, when the crazy people get on to something else.

[Sans-Culotte]

Yeah, but this thing has been brewing for months. It couldn’t have been too big of a shock.

[chris37]

Jared is a hippie.

All ya gotta do is turn off the TV.

[teeman8r]

he immediately tested positive for the virus... and herpes.

[higgmeister]

Leto achieved recognition for his role as Jordan Catalano on the television series My So-Called Life (1994).

That reminds me of "your so called fame" when most of us don't know who you are.

[higgmeister]

So funny!   I was looking at the long list of films he has been in and I have not seen any of them until I got to the very bottom with, "Blade Runner 2049", which I have seen, but I don't remember his very minor part at all.

[Yardstick]

I’ve seen Blade Runner 2049 several times and can’t place him. My best guess is he was either the guy behind the counter at the public records archive or the coroner at the morgue. Both small parts played by odd looking actors.

[bigdaddy45]

If you never heard of him, why are you so thankful for it?

[Boogieman]

“Twelve days ago I began a silent meditation in the desert...”

Just when you thought Jared Leto couldn’t get any douchier, he goes and does something like this.

[Boogieman]

One who bangs 15 year old groupies, probably.

[Boogieman]

Well, you see, the original New Agers were kind of respectable that way. At least they got their hands dirty, went to India, or lived in a commune with no running water or flushing toilets.

These New New Agers want enlightenment without all that bother. They’re not going to hike into the mountains of Tibet when they can take a private jet to a “spiritual retreat” in California or Arizona and still impress all their Instagram followers.
