30 Seconds to Mars 'Hurricane' (Sneak Peek)

Whips, bondage, bunny suits, nuns doing bad things in stalls - you name it. 30 Seconds to Mars' upcoming music video for "Hurricane" has it all. Word is the 20-minute video will be “very sexual,” violent, free of shirts and a “surrealistic nightmare dream-fantasy.”

Says super-hot (and shirtless) frontman Jared Leto, “We’re working really hard and it’s a very ambitious project.” “It’s very long right now. It’s clocking in at about 20 minutes, so we’re just editing, editing. I literally brought the editors here to Spain, and they’re at the hotel working right now.”

WATCH THE SNEAK PEEK after the jump, and look for the full release coming soon.

Jared Leto as Terry Richardson, and Vice Versa

I know you're not supposed to read people's diaries...but c'mon. It was right there. Photographer Terry Richardson's diary. Open for all to see. And look what was inside: Thirty Seconds to Mars' Jared Leto...as Terry. And Terry as Leto. SHIRTLESS and SEXY. Looks like a good time.

Jared Leto in Nylon Guys

30 Seconds to Mars frontman Jared Leto takes the cover of the January 2010 issue of Nylon Guys...and just in time for the release of the band's new album This Is War, out today. To celebrate, Nylon Guys interviewed Jared for their latest issue. A few highlights:

On his really early days (childhood):
“I was born a poor white-trash boy… We were vagabonds, and I had a peripatetic childhood; our mother brought us on her journey of escape from the oppressive nature of the South… It’s been a journey of dreams, but it's also been heartbreaking and challenging.”

On his early days of exploring music:
“I thought art would be my life. It was either that or selling drugs. I always had an aversion to being part of some corporate structure or working in a clearly defined job. I like to explore different things.”

A few MORE PHOTOS after the jump, even more at Nylon Guys. In case you missed it, be sure to check out Jared and 30 Seconds to Mars in their much-anticipated "Kings and Queens" video, featured here last month.

30 Seconds to Mars: "Kings + Queens"

30 Seconds to Mars and front man Jared Leto (OMG...Jordan Catalano still haunts my dreams) debuted their new much-anticipated "Kings and Queens" video on Myspace yesterday. From the band's new album, This Is War, "Kings + Queens" takes you on a critical mass ride through the late-night streets of L.A., showing a part of the city most people don't get to see.

"I don't know what to say. We spent two years of our lives working on that record, and it was us against the world. We didn't have outside influence or help, we didn't have a label, we had us, betting the farm, and pushing ourselves," Leto told MTV. "There were times that it was overwhelming. Everything that was going on was brutal, but there were beautiful moments as well. There was so many outside influences that were in conflict that working on the record was actually quite peaceful. It was a case of survival, to tell the truth."

Leto continues, "One thing that I know is that this record is really the best that we can do. It's everything that we have inside of us. It's our complete commitment, it's our complete abandonment, our blood and our bones and our heart and our soul, and everything. Everything we have is in this record, so that's what we have to say. ... Regardless of what anyone thinks of the record, we made the record we set out to make. ... Who knows if anyone in the world will like it or not? That's to be determined."

WATCH the video below. This is War is scheduled to release December 8th.
