Jared Leto his been keeping us up to date on all of 30 Seconds To Mars' travels, sightseeing and pit stops. And we've got another update right here. 30 Seconds To Mars has been playing gigs throughout the U.S. with Mute Math on the Into The Wild Tour. Here's another grab bag of 30 Seconds To Mars photos, thoughts and videos from the road. 

By Jared Leto

First off, thank you all so very very much. What an amazing and epic adventure this has been.  A dozen beautiful sunsets, a few delicate sunrises, bizarre happenings and tons of fun, chaos, madness and secrets we can never spill. It really has been the tour of a lifetime. So many magical moments and wonderful memories so far. The last leg is Oregon, Washington state, our home state of California and finishing up in Phoenix. It's the final stretch of the Into the Wild North America tour, and we have had an experience we will never forget.

Cool Hotel in Portland ... The Ace

The insatiable Bart Cubbins has been hard at work with the editors. Long days and nights on the 'Edit Bus' (home to five editors for a month). Keep your eyes out because we've got some things coming very soon.

Brothers.

Blue Skies.

An amazing "day off" in Northern California. It's one of the most beautiful places around. Redwood.

The path less trod upon.

The choir from Santa Barbara High School. They joined us on stage for "Kings & Queens" and "Hurricane."

At The Greek before the show.

Thanks so much to everyone who joined us at our hometown show at the beautiful Greek Theatre in Los Angeles. It was a magical night.

My old friend Danny took this at The Greek. What a night! Thanks to everyone who came.

Blast from the past! My friend and director Andrew Niccol sent this pic to me from 2004. I was writing for "A Beautiful Life."

Mirrors.

For those that have joined us for the Into the Wild Tour, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. This has been the journey of a lifetime, and thank you all for that. For those that didn't make it this time ... we'll see you on the next one!

Last night the Jonas Brothers hit Yankee Stadium for the Yanks vs. Rays. Can you guess who they were cheering for? To be fair, those baseball caps look pretty well-worn, and the J.B.s did appear on ESPN's Fantasy Focus baseball podcast the other day, so it's not like they're some kind of Jonas-come-lately to the national pastime.

Beyond the obvious 'Hey, look, the Jonas Brothers at Yankee Stadium' factor, we bring you this photograph to show you one of the great meetings of minds that you will witness. Check out who was also at the Yanks game:

Tracy Morgan! Oh to have been a fly on the stadium wall for this interaction.

The Black Keys have been on a roll, people. As you may be aware, the duo's new album, Brothers, is a stellar distillation of their superfried-blues powers. They also blew our minds a couple of weeks ago with a video of a toy dinosaur macking on bikini-clad gals for their song "Next Girl."

Now comes the equally awesome clip for "Tighten Up." It starts with singer/guitarist Dan Auerbach walking his son to a playground to hang out with drummer Patrick Carney and his son. The kids resemble their dads in uncanny ways and seem to get along, despite Auerbach's progeny complaining that junior Carney "smells like ranch dressing."

Things get good when the little tykes start performing the Black Keys' jaunty, slithering song -- expertly lip-synching the lovelorn vocals. Not that you need to be told, but there's nothing better than kids pretending to sing Black Keys songs in music videos. Except maybe when kids beat up the Black Keys in music videos (this also happens).

Check out the video below, directed by Chris Marrs Piliero. Brothers is out now.

Hey, maybe Bieb's just feeling disoriented from his recent tattooing. Who knows? What we do know is that when the internet serves up a clip like this, you just have to sit back, enjoy the fun and be thankful nobody actually got hurt.

Here we have Justin Bieber, walking out of a building, through a revolving door, like you do. Until! Catastrophe! The door literally strikes back. Credit to Bieber: After noticing the camera crew filming the incident he totally ham's it up for laughs.

"I don't know if you seen it, but I just walked into that door!" Yes. And since you're Justin Bieber, now the whole world will see it, too!

One man at a piano? A gorgeous meadow? Explosive emotion? Does Muse have to spell out the Eclipse imagery for you in its new video "Neutron Star Collision (Love Is Forever)"? Well they do with the lyrical throughline "love is forever and we'll die together."

Again, the Eclipse symbolism and metaphor are hard at work here in Muse's new "Neutron Star Collision (Love Is Forever)" video, the lead single off the Eclipse soundtrack (out June 8). If the theme of eternal love doesn't scream Eclipse from heights even higher than the cliff Bella foolishly dives from (oh, come on -- that's so not even a spoiler at this point), then scenes of Bella and Edward making out, wolves dashing about, Jacob looking brooding (and shirtless), Edward looking attractively perplexed and chiseled, and Dakota Fanning with those freaky red Jane eyes drive home that point.

Watch Muse's brand-new video, "Neutron Star Collision (Love Is Forever)" now!

Sometimes a girl -- even if that girl is a Grammy-winning singer/songwriter who has toured the world and shared a stage with the likes of Stevie Nicks--needs to feel like royalty. And sometimes the quickest path from feeling like your same old self to feeling like a queen is throwing on a headband that looks like a crown.

Here we see Taylor Swift, out and about in Los Angeles, yesterday. Of course, part of her appeal is the fact that she's at once this regal, gifted pop star, while at the same time a seemingly normal, well-adjusted (if oft heartbroken) young woman. So the whole wearing-a-crown-along-with-a-totally-casual-outfit-thing kind of works, no?

Oh, btw: Swift will be playing a benefit concert for victims of the Nashville flood, along with Miley Cyrus and Carrie Underwood, on June 22. So applaud that!

It feels like a million years since The Maine released its debut album Can't Stop, Won't Stop. (OK, "technically" speaking, it's been two years, but we were never all that good at math.)

Regardless, we're in desperate need of some new tunes. Thankfully, ask and ye shall receive, because the band is currently streaming "Growing Up" -- a new song off its long-awaited upcoming album Black & White -- on its official MySpace page.

"Growing Up" definitely hints at a new musical direction for the band: It sounds like it might be trading clap-along choruses and simple boy-meets-girl lyrics in favor of a more stripped-down, Americana-inspired sound. Sounds like someone's been listening to a lot of Limbeck and Wilco lately -- and we totally back it.

+ Listen to The Maine's latest song, "Growing Up," and don't forget to pick up the new album Black & White when it drops July 13.
