On my flight this morning from New York to Denver, I think I may have sat next to Jared Leto. Now, I realize this is statistically improbable: Why would Jared Leto be flying to Denver on United Economy Plus? I know he is barely famous, but surely he flies first class. Also, could it really be that on Lindsay's 30th birthday (HAPPY BIRTHDAY!), I sat next to her most hated celebrity? It seems to good to be true. Nonetheless, here are my five reasons for believing I may have spent the morning sitting next to Jared Leto:

1. Just like the Real Jared Leto, Possible Jared Leto (PJL) was a total douche. He spread his legs as far apart as possible, well into my seat range. Maybe he has gonnorhea and it hurts to put his legs together? I don't know. (Is this even a symptom of gonnorhea? I don't know. I should have asked Leto when I had the chance.) Also, he did not cover his mouth when coughing.

2. PJL looked a lot like Jared Leto. Sweatier than seems necessary? Check. Black eyeliner left over from last night? Check. The pale, thin lips of a poorly fed vampire? Check.

3. The moment he sat down, PJL pulled a Haruki Murakami novel out and then proceeded not to read it for the next four and a half hours. Murakami seems like precisely the kind of author that Jared Leto would pretend to read.

4. His jeans were extremely, extremely expensive-looking.

5. To me, this is the absolutely unassailable evidence: Midway through the flight, I glanced down at PJL's ipod, and he was listening to "30 Seconds to Mars," Jared Leto's band! Now, I ask you: Who besides Jared Leto has "30 Seconds to Mars" on their ipod?
