Jared Leto Gave Margot Robbie a Rat, and She Raised It As Her Own

Margot Robbie, 24-year-old star of the upcoming Suicide Squad, is the proud mama of a pet rat, and it’s all thanks to Jared Leto. Leto, who plays the Joker in the film, gave all his co-stars a gift before shooting to help him “get into character.” Robbie was lucky enough to receive “a nice love letter with a black box with a [live] rat in it.”

Cool gift.

Robbie, who plays Harley Quinn in the upcoming flick, admitted that crew members suggested killing it, but she couldn’t part from the animal, whom she’s since named Rat Rat.

“If Harley got something from Joker, she’d probably cherish it,” Robbie told the magazine, adding that she feeds Rat Rat organic berries from Whole Foods.

It’s nice that Robbie is taking such good care of her new pet, but now I want to know more about the crew members whose first reactions were, “LET’S KILL IT.”

January Jones was “absolutely miserable” at Comic-Con. She was seen “in a really foul mood” at a party for the [terribly reviewed] film Self/less, where she “sat by herself, chain-smoking an e-cigarette while her friends danced.” Question: can you technically chain-smoke an e-cig? Was she hitting the same one over and over, or was she cycling through all the different brands and flavors (each corresponding to a different level of misery) that she kept in her clutch?

A source says “no one knew why she was there.” I say the source should have quit judging January Jones and vaped with her instead. That’s a party.

Patti Stanger quit Bravo’s Millionaire Matchmaker because Andy Cohen “had just been so mean” to her. A source tells Radar Online “Patty was just done with all of the drama that Bravo wanted to create on the show. It just wasn’t what she wanted to represent as a brand, and a matchmaker.” Her brand, if you don’t recall, is a fun combination of nastiness, sexism, and homophobia.

Hmmm, maybe Cohen was mean because Stanger said things like, “there is no curbing the gay,” on his television show.
