Thirty Seconds to Mars: City of Angels

I remember my little sister posting pictures of Jared Leto all over her room, she found him so attractive. For me he really seems like a huge douchbag. He just came out with an impressive new video from Thirty Seconds to Mars, City of Angels. He casted Lindsay Lohan, Kanye West, Selena Gomez, Ashley Olsen, Lily Collins, Olivia Wilde, James Franco, Shaun White, Corey Feldman, Alan Cumming, and Steve Nash, as well as some lesser-known L.A. performers like Christopher Lloyd Dennis and a Marilyn Monroe Look-a-Like.

I won’t lie the music is pretty bad and the only thing good about this video is what most of the artists are saying. I was constantly skipping the music to hear what the stars wanted to say. I must say that the most touching parts where probably when Kanye said: “This city took my mother, but it also gave me my child”. Kanye West is talking here about losing his mother and about Nori West, his daughter with Kim Kardashian.

When Corey Feldman spoke about his childhood, people knew about him before him even knowing his own name. His parents needed money and exploited him since he was 3 years old.  He also mentioned that he went as high up in fame and went to the bottom of the barrel, more than someone takes the elevator.  Sad story to hear really.

We also have D-Listers that live in the streets and that are still hoping for fame very sad. The one that really stayed in my mind was the Porn star and after a bit of research I found out she was actually known as Brandy Aniston. She said yes, I’m a star… A porn star. So sad to think she came to LA and finished working as a porn star, not exactly what she imagined.

Basically the music was really bad, I would skip all the music part and just listen to the interviews in City of Angels. The interviews were really interesting.
