Jared Leto denies sexual misconduct after facing accusations from multiple women
Jared Leto has been accused by a number of women of "behaving inappropriately" when they were teenagers, with claims he exposed himself and made sexual comments. Leto has denied all allegations made against him Jared Leto has been accused of 'inappropriateness' by a number of women in a report. The 53-year-old American singer and actor has been in the spotlight since the early 1990s. He has had roles in iconic TV shows including My So-Called Life and WeCrashed, films including Blade Runner 2049 and Dallas Buyers Club, and as the frontman of rock band Thirty Seconds to Mars. Having been regarded as a Hollywood and chart heartthrob around the world, the star is now facing damaging accusations - which a spokesperson has denied. An investigation by Air Mail magazine - a luxury lifestyle outlet edited by former Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter - has claimed nine women have accused the star "behaving inappropriately" when they were in their teens. One woman claims the actor approached her in a Los Angeles cafe in 2006 when she was 16 and asked for her number. She claims he then called her "in the middle of the night" and tried to get her to attend a party - which she says she declined, adding: "I didn't even have a driver's license." The woman claims he then called her regularly for the following three weeks, allegedly "Always at one, two, three A.M" and claims the conversations: "Turned sexual. He'd ask things like, 'Have you ever had a boyfriend? Have you ever sucked a d**k?'' A second woman claims he also approached her when she was 16 and acquired her number claims his conversations would occasionally be "flirtatious" - and that he once walked out in front of her completely naked when she was 17 when she was at his home. A third, described as having an "on-off affair" with the star claimed: 'He'd be sweet, then suddenly really demeaning. It was a switch.' A further woman alleges that the star exposed himself to her when she was at his home and "started masturbating" when she was 18. She claims he told her: "I want you to spit on it." The Air Mail article accuses Leto of approaching younger women and claims it was "known" in Hollywood that he liked younger women. Another woman told the publication: ' I remember being so physically ill to the point of throwing up when I passed billboards … for his films,' one woman tells me, 'and just wondering how everybody in L.A. knows.' The Mirror has contacted Leto's representatives for comment. While Air Mail adds that a representative of the star denied all allegations made against him in their report. Leto was once engaged to actress Cameron Diaz - who he was in a relationship with from 1999 until 2003. They were engaged in 2000 until their split three years later. He later dated Russian model Valery Kaufman from 2015 to 2022. He has never married - and has been romantically linked to a number of women in the past, including Scarlett Johansson and Paris Hilton.

Move over alpaca hairstyle—there's a new trendy look in town that's coming for tween and teen boys. It's the K-Pop Haircut, and not only do I see my teen son's friends rocking it, but I am also noting how it's a throwback to a 90s heartthrob look—and you'll never believe who. The One Topic My Teen Son and I Can Always Talk About Without Fighting Now then. The K-pop haircut is built around a center part, with hair on either side brushed down in a simple and effortless-looking cool-guy esthetic. Of course, there's primping it the mirror and products that achieve that look, according to stylists. (I predict that, next to cologne, guys are going to be shopping hair styling products galore.) Unlike previous more permed or poofy styles, the K-pop haircut is sleeker and longer in front, while still short or tapered in the back. You can see the look on emerging artists such as Taemin of boy band SHINee and mega stars like Jin of the band BTS. ABC Photo Archives/Disney General Entertainment Content via Getty Images; The Good Brigade/Getty But back to that '90s heartthrob I identified. Todays youth influencer and vlogger Sebasian Moy rocks the look with pieces of his long center-parted bangs hanging in his face, heartthrob style; millennials will remember the same haircut on their '90s teen crush, the character Jordan Catalano from My So-Called Life. (This was the TV show that introduced Claire Danes and future Academy Award-winner Jared Leto to viewing audiences.) Here's how to get the look. After having a haircut parted down the middle, short in the back and sides, use a bit of product. Stylist Jason Schneidman of California Born salon in Venice, California says the look is as much California surfer as it is K-pop star. He swipes a little bit of Days of Dirt styling gel through the hair to get a textured look. 'The hair is not sticky or stiff, and the product adds moisture to the hair and allows hair to fall with perfect separation,' he says. 'Hair often looks fluffy flat and dry after shampooing, but this adds the perfect lived in look, like you've been surfing all day." K-pop star, '90s TV actor or surfer dude, I'm co-signing this style for young guys. A fresh take on the classic long-bangs style, I think it's flattering. Of course, as a mom, I'm always going to worry about too much hair hanging on the face and causing breakouts—but I'm letting that anxiety take a back seat to aesthetics for now. 50 Gifts for Teen Boys, According to Actual Teenagers and Their Parents

‘Yellowjackets' creators on Season 3 finale and why they're banking on another season
This article contains spoilers for the Season 3 finale of 'Yellowjackets.' 'I can hear you.' The Season 3 finale of Showtime's 'Yellowjackets' on Friday ended with four significant words that have been out of reach but looming over the group of teenage survivors since the events of the plane crash that set the show in motion. Beneath the sound of Aerosmith's 'Livin' on the Edge,' young Natalie (Sophie Thatcher), at long last, made contact with the outside world just as the chaos from shifting dynamics and power struggles back in the wilderness is becoming more severe. 'We're out here. ... Can anyone hear me?' she screams from a snowy mountain peak into a satellite phone, which belonged to the researchers who stumbled upon the group on a trip to study frogs and was repaired with a cord from the transponder that Misty had destroyed after the crash. She received the muffled four-word confirmation over static crackles. But with some of the yellowjackets apprehensive about a return to home and normal life, is their rescue actually imminent? A fourth season has not officially been announced, but 'Yellowjackets' creators and showrunners Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson have long said they pitched a five-season plan for the series. 'We are kind of banking on another season,' Nickerson says. 'So, sorry, if we do get canceled; if we pulled a total 'My So-Called Life' where we're just ending. But there are worse things than to go down in history as another 'My So-Called Life.'' The Times spoke with Lyle and Nickerson about Season 3's dramatic conclusion. Here's an edited excerpt of the conversation. Was it always going to be Natalie making that triumphant call? And am I naive to think this is the triumphant call? Lyle: I don't think you're naive. They very much are making contact officially with the outside world, and in this case, purposefully; obviously they made contact with the outside world earlier, and it goes very sideways. There's a line very early on, I think it's in Season 1, where the women say, 'We wouldn't be here if it wasn't for Natalie.' So this was always something, in terms of their salvation, if you want to call it that — although what comes later, it might be up for debate — but [with] their rescue, we always knew that it would be Natalie who was the tip of the spear and the person who got them back home. Nickerson: Just to clarify, while you are not naive to think that, I don't know how straight a line from that moment to rescue, will be something that we'll get to answer in Season 4. The show, so far, has existed in two timelines — the past in the wilderness and the present as the past haunts them. I assume a third timeline, at some point, would touch on readjusting to life after the rescue. What interests you about that transition period and are those details you've known since the beginning to guide you, or are you figuring that out as you go? How relationships shift in that period? Lyle: It's something that we've talked about in the writers' room and, from the very beginning, Bart and I knew that was a piece of the story we wanted to eventually explore. We always go back to the movie 'Castaway' and how I found it a little bit frustrating. And I love that movie. He gets rescued and they kind of time jump; they just go right past the period of readjustment. Whereas, to our minds, that's an incredibly fascinating story to tell. These girls have changed remarkably, for better or for worse, in their time out there, especially because of their age. They're so malleable to begin with and they've become very different people. And to see those people readjust to a world that is almost — I wouldn't say insignificant to them; it's obviously very significant — foreign to them now in a way that we think would be really ripe for storytelling and to dig deeper into their characters. Nickerson: Just trying to think of how to say this without giving any kind of spoilers, but there's also something very interesting about getting the opportunity to do the end of a story that is actually the beginning. You're always in the middle of your story to a certain extent, and getting to do what feels like the end of something that the audience is so in on the joke that, 'Oh my God, this is actually just the beginning of this whole other story that we've now seen,' is a fun narrative challenge. Who is Antler Queen — Sophie — and who is Pit Girl — Mar — have been questions since the pilot. Is it safe to say the finale of Season 3 answers that? Lyle: That's safe to say, yes. Nickerson: Well. It answers half of it. Ash, do you disagree? Lyle: It's safe to say we have definitively answered who Pit Girl is. Nickerson: Oh, sorry, you mean Antler Queen in the pilot, who was sitting there. Of course, I immediately went to the metaphoric. That's my mistake. We see how the brutality of the life they've had to live in the wilderness has affected them. They're not all eager to be rescued. Some would rather stay. Unpack the psychological response to trauma that you were interested in exploring, and how you were guided by who was feeling what. Lyle: The question that we pose in the pilot is: Can they put the past behind them? I think that where we find them in the very first episode is as a group of women who have really tried to put the past behind them, and what they have learned over the course of the show is that it is maybe not possible in the way that they had hoped. Each of them has had a very different kind of response. As we move forward in the present-day story, the way that those coping mechanisms fail and what replaces them will be equally different and hopefully complex and interesting to explore. Nickerson: Obviously post-traumatic stress and trauma are these very complicated, multilayered things, but one thing that we've always been interested in is the extent to which people, on a psychological and physiological level, are able to adapt to these different high-stakes, dangerous situations. At least a part of post-traumatic stress is a positive adaptive strategy to survive. Part of that kind of wiring that gets flipped, being able to take in a wider spectrum of experience and not wanting to lose that, is also part of what we wanted to play with. There is a new normal and that's a home and how boring regular life can appear to be; it was just a bit that we wanted to play with in the show at large. It's been interesting to see how fans react to Shauna now. Taissa, at one point, says that the worst of what they've gone through then and now is fueled by her. Lyle: I think people forget that when we meet Shauna, in past and present, she is chasing transgressiveness. In the past, she's cheating with her best friend's boyfriend; in the present, she's masturbating in her daughter's room and killing rabbits in the garden. And Melanie [Lynskey, who plays older Shauna] is so game. When we got to Episodes 8 and 9, she was like, 'Let's go!' We've always been huge fans of 'Breaking Bad.' It's almost easy to forget that when 'Breaking Bad' started, Bryan Cranston had been the dad in 'Malcolm in the Middle'; he was so funny and so charming and so sweet and nice and sort of hapless-seeming. To take that actor and to turn him into The One Who Knocks is just such an exciting journey. So it's been very satisfying to take [Melanie, through Shauna] to the point where we're like, 'Oh no, wait a second...' It's also been interesting to see, through her family, how much is passed down or absorbed through Callie. As we see in the finale, Callie is responsible for Lottie's death. What intrigued you about the Shauna-Callie dynamic and Jeff's decision to get himself and Callie some distance from Shauna? Lyle: I think an important question is, how much are you beholden to your family? How much are you beholden to who you are genetically? It's definitely a question that has risen to the forefront for Callie. Am I my mother? Am I my mother's daughter? What does that mean? Nickerson: [With Jeff], that really grew out of wanting to tell the Shauna story and to bring her to a point where the person that knows her the best in the world, has always been so accepting, to have that person, not turn on her, but no longer be able to extend that benefit of the doubt. That was really about trying to isolate Shauna. It was like, 'Oh why, God. Et tu, Jeff?' He was also unable to co-sign this anymore. Lyle: Shauna has lost something very, very important to her by the end of the season. But she's also been freed in a way. In the beginning of this season, we see her really making a go of being a better wife and a better mother — and those are costumes or masks that just don't really fit her. While I think the loss of her family is profound, and she will feel it profoundly, I think that she is being unburdened of, essentially, a role that she is not particularly capable of playing. The body count is getting up there. How do you thread that needle? When does it become too much? Lyle: It really is where the story wants to take us, where we always thought it would go, and where it feels like it wants to go. We've always known that there would be consequences and that was part of the design of the show. We open the series with a character dying. We wanted to announce very quickly that this was a show in which death would be a specter that is hanging over all of them. I hope this doesn't sound ridiculous, but I think we approach it — or at least I approach it — less as though we're building something and more as though we're excavating something. You want it to feel as though this story has happened and we've just uncovered it as opposed to we're slowly building it piece by piece. Because then you run the risk of doing things to create a twist, to create a reaction, as opposed to finding a story in its totality and telling it. Bart, you directed the finale. You also directed the premiere. What feeling did you want to evoke with this finale and what scene stressed you out the most? Nickerson: I wanted a chaotic resolution. Something that creates the tension of discordance, but that feels like there is a sense of some kind of completion, even if it is like a bit of a sub-chapter. In terms of what stressed me out the most, the amount of actual snowy real estate we had for the rolling chases was very small, so figuring out how to make it look and feel expansive but connected and to give that all a sense of geographic movement and different flavors, it took a lot of work. But it's also the fun part. Getting to direct was such an incredible experience that I'm so grateful for.

Billy Crudup Says Hi to Ex Claire Danes at the NYU Tisch School of the Arts Gala – See Their Sweet Interaction
For Billy Crudup, all's well that ends well. At the New York University Tisch School of the Arts Gala on Monday, April 7, at Cipriani South Street in New York City, Crudup, 56, stopped to say hello to his ex-girlfriend, actress Claire Danes. Crudup received a Master of Fine Arts in acting from NYU in 1994. Crudup was seen approaching Danes at her table at the gala, where they shared a hug and briefly caught up while Blondie's "Dreaming" played in the background. Afterward, Crudup exchanged hellos with Winnie Holzman, the creator of My So-Called Life, which starred Danes and aired on ABC in 1994 and 1995. Danes, 45, wore a long emerald green silk gown paired with a cropped black blazer, while Crudup opted for a classic navy suit and white shirt. View this post on Instagram A post shared by People Magazine (@people) Danes co-starred with Crudup in the 2004 film Stage Beauty, which centered on male actors in Elizabethan England in the 16th century.
