Shia LeBeouf Is Clearly Using Mustache Wax Now

When we came across this picture of Shia LeBeouf hanging out with comedians Jim Gaffigan and Thomas Lennon, our minds came to a screeching halt. No, it wasn’t just because of the sheer randomness of the people gathered in the photo. It’s something much bigger, scragglier and grizzlier. We are of course talking about Shia’s beard, which has now officially reached epic proportions. Is he trying out for a part in Young Santa, the St. Nick biopic that we just made up right now? We hope, because we bet it would be Oscar bait. But truly the best part of his facial hair explosion is how he appears to have waxed the tip of his mustache. It definitely adds to that whole “dastardly but debonair villain” look. We get it, Shia, you’re not a kid anymore! But we’ll still always love Even Stevens.

Emma Watson, Rupert Grint, Robsten Top Another List, Because Why Not?

The folks at Forbes certainly know what they’re doing. Usually, we turn to them for the big lists, like the Celebrity 100, the World’s Most Powerful Women or the Hip-Hop Cash Kings. But those take a lot of work, and sometimes, they just need something fast and easy (we’re just assuming here, ’cause you know, we’d never be so gratuitous about our lists). So, they do things like this week’s Hollywood’s Top-Earning On-Screen Couples, which is topped by Emma Watson and Rupert Grint, followed by Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson.

We’re very happy to see the Harry Potter and Twilight stars at the top of the list, natch. But it does feel a bit like the editors sat down and said, “What kind of list can we do that will feature the stars of Harry Potter and Twilight, and maybe also Pirates of the Caribbean and Transformers?” They admit themselves that the whole thing is based on numbers from Box Office Mojo (the total earnings from movies with the stars as a couple from the last five years).

Still, here we are, looking at the list. So they’ve hooked us again! We’ll give you the full list below, but also we want to come up with some kind of challenge for the Forbes editors, just to make sure they stay on top of their game. Maybe the next feature should be something like America’s Highest-Grossing Puppet Shows or Top-Earning Subway Mariachi Groups. That‘ll take a little shoe leather.

Shia LaBeouf Gets Into A Bar Brawl … Again

Shia LaBeouf needs to chill. By that, we mean that he needs to stop getting into bar brawls all the time. We wrote about Shia’s last fight back in February but that came after a list of trouble making, including a DUI in 2008. For this round, Shia got into a huge bust-up in Vancouver, Canada, on Friday.

The actor was reportedly partying his way through the Granville Street nightclub strip and got into three fights along the way. Really? Three? An eyewitness revealed to Radar, “He got into a confrontation with a couple of people. He took a few punches to the face. He was obviously pretty intoxicated.” Apparently, Shia and a barfly named Mike got into a heated punch-up with each other at Cinema Public House after midnight and had to be pulled apart by security. Unfortunately, Mike went at Shia outside again when he spotted the actor waiting for a cab. Not that Shia was backing down either. He had to be restrained by a bystander and another witness said, “The guy had to tell him something like ‘calm down or I’ll have to lay you out.’ Then Shia just put his hands up and gave up.” (TMZ has a video of part of the confusing encounter.) We’re guessing the hangover the next day must have been lethal. Ease up, dude!

Whoa! Is Carey Mulligan Engaged To Marcus Mumford?

British pixie dream girl Carey Mulligan has had her share of famous loves over the past year, including Shia ‘The Beef” LaBeouf and Tom “Crazy Beard” Sturridge. But now the Daily Mail is reporting that she is engaged to Mumford and Sons songster Marcus Mumford…after only dating for five months! Girl, back it up a step. The two met at a Mumford gig in Nashville this February, and she accompanied them on a portion of their tour across America in a vintage train. Ahh, we can’t take the throwbacky preciousness!

According to the article, the question was popped in an expensive English seaside hotel, and Carey spent the trip showing guests her massive engagement rock. “Carey looked like the cat who had got the cream,” says one guest. “She was wearing a beautiful ring and didn’t seem to mind who saw it. They were stuck to each other like glue. She was doing most of the talking and he was hanging on her every word.” If all this is true, Zooey Deschanel and Ben Gibbard have serious competition for their “Ultimate Twee-Couple” crown.

Shia LaBeouf Teams Up With Marilyn Manson For Video

If you had asked us how one would follow-up a massive summer blockbuster hit, a Shia LaBeouf Marilyn Manson mash-up would not have been our first answer. Forget about the prosthetic breasts; when’s the last time Manson had a hit song? 1998? While on Live with Regis and Kelly, the Transformers 3: Dark of The Moon star describes visiting the kimono-wearing goth rocker to discuss “the visuals for his album.” As Shia explained to an incredibly excited Kelly Ripa, “In real life, too, he’s a real sweet guy. He’s an eccentric human being.” According his anecdote, Manson apparently lives in a lightless movie theater above a liquor store in West Hollywood. Yup, sounds about right.

LaBeouf also expanded his creative horizons by shooting Kid Cudi’s “Marijuana” video in Amsterdam during the Cannabis Cup, where a pink kimono wouldn’t seem nearly so ominous. While Shia didn’t get into the details about the music video he’s been working on for Manson, he will say the footage will likely “involve things I can’t even really say out loud, since this is morning television.” Are you sure you’re ready to say goodbye to that A-list money so soon, Shia? You’re going to need it to buy antique medical equipment. And light bulbs.

Selena Gomez Meets Shia LaBeouf, Adorableness Ensues

We cannot tell you how hilarious it is to see Selena Gomez fangirling over Shia LaBeouf, who she’s had a massive crush on for a while now (sorry, Justin Bieber). Like, we’re talking Selenita hearts Shia LB, for real. The proof is in the video, in which her handlers trick her into thinking she was about to talk to some fans. The reaction when she finds Shia in the dressing room is genuinely funny because she bolts out of the room! Our Transformer dude had to run after her and you can see literally wanting to die when he greets her. That’s what we’d do if we found Robert Pattinson… but we doubt he’d run after us.

Through all the blushing, the level of her OMG! is visibly sky high. It’s so nice to see a celebrity crush like a regular person (read: us) on another celebrity. Post her meeting, Selena can’t stop giggling and talking about how handsome Shia is and she’s so giddy her voice starts getting progressively high pitched. Selena tweeted the video too, with a message that summed it all, “Best….. Day….. Ever.”

Shia LaBeouf Reveals Megan Fox Hook Up And Other Dirty Secrets To Details

OMG everybody, did you hear?! Shia LaBeouf told Details magazine that he hooked up with Megan Fox and the internet is fah-reaking out about it! The sad thing is, this news overshadows an interesting interview that actually made us really like the actor — something we once thought impossible. He’s always seemed kinda like a Hollywood brat to us, but it’s possible that Shia is just misunderstood — or has a great publicist who orchestrated the entire cover story. Either way, we’re a new fan! Hellooooo, Shia.*waves*

As for the Megan hook-up, Shia says, “Look, you’re on the set for six months, with someone who’s rooting to be attracted to you, and you’re rooting to be attracted to them…But the time I spent with Megan was our own thing, and I think you can see the chemistry onscreen.” He seems unsure if their sex-fest went down while she was together with Brian Austin Green, and then concludes, “It was what it was.”

Seems pretty basic to us: They were in a movie together. They boned. Then when the movie was over they realized they had nothing else in common and they moved on. Now, if you’re going off that one quote, Shia seems kinda gross. But the article really gives you a (glossy) glimpse into his personality, and we kinda like it. He has a bit of a fighting problem that comes across as strangely sexy; like the time he once punched a guy at a Taco Bell for being rude to Megan. He grew up poor with a drug addict dad and says he feels “real shame” over his massive wealth. “He has no assistant, no driver,” we learn in the story. “He bought his house, in a low-key part of town, for about $1 million.” Also, he went on a terrible date to a sushi restaurant with Hilary Duff. How can you not love him?

Michael Bay, Shia LaBeouf Continue To Trash Talk Megan Fox

We guess if we ripped on our boss in public, we couldn’t really expect him not to bad-mouth us right back. We just might not expect our entire office to pile on. As Transformers star Shia LaBeouf tells GQ about Megan Fox’s Hitler comments, “Criticism is one thing. Then there’s public name-calling, which turns into high school bashing. Which you can’t do. She started s—-talking our captain.” Of course, Cap’n Michael Bay fired Megan Fox after she used the particularly insulting dictator analogy, which you think would be enough pay back. Apparently not. “I wasn’t hurt, because I know that’s just Megan. Megan loves to get a response,” Bay says. “And she does it in kind of the wrong way. I’m sorry, Megan. I’m sorry I made you work twelve hours. I’m sorry that I’m making you show up on time. Movies are not always warm and fuzzy.” Ah yes, but what does the entire lighting crew think about Megan’s crappy attitude? Craft services? The wig master? WHAT OF THE WIG MASTER?

Even screenwriter Ehren Kruger got in on the action, alleging “She was there for rehearsals. But she seemed like an actress who didn’t want to be a part of it. She was saying she wanted to, but she wasn’t acting like it.” While Bay readily admits he loves Fox’s replacement Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and has deleted Megan’s number from his phone, he concedes, “When you’re days and months on a set, it’s like a family. You say rude things and you make up.” Just as soon as the guy who hoses down the robots gets to take his jab at you.

Shia LaBeouf Pretty Sure There’s Another Indiana Jones In His Future

You might have thought the glass-skulled alien shenanigans of the last movie would have put the kibosh on any more sequels, but Shia LaBeouf’s Indiana Jones comments are correct, we’re going to see a lot more refrigerators survive a lot more nuclear explosions in the near future. “I talked to Harrison [Ford], he said he’s staying in the gym, he said he’s heard no word, but he does know that George [Lucas] is out there looking for a MacGuffin,” the Transformers 3: Dark Of The Moon star claimed. For those who aren’t sure, a MacGuffin is a central plot point that drives a movie, not a crime-fighting dog as we might have previously claimed. Actually, at this point we wouldn’t be surprised if that ended up being Indy’s new sidekick in the next film.

Said Shia about original action hero Ford, “He said he’s staying in the gym, so it means, you know, it’s not so far off.” Call us cynical, but we’re guessing Harrison should just go ahead and put a down payment on the gym, because he’s going to be there awhile. In fact, go ahead and tell his grandbabies to send his birthday cards there.

Shia LaBeouf On Megan Fox Leaving Transformers: “Vibe Very Different”

Oh, Shia LaBeouf. We don’t think the actor meant to suggest that the “vibe” was better on Transformers: Dark Of The Moon because new co-star Rosie Huntington-Whiteley doesn’t mind being treated like a piece of meat, but that’s sure how he came off talking to the LA Times about Megan Fox. “Megan developed this Spice Girl strength, this woman-empowerment [thing] that made her feel awkward about her involvement with [director] Michael [Bay], who some people think is a very lascivious filmmaker, the way he films women,” he explained. “Mike films women in a way that appeals to a 16-year-old sexuality. It’s summer. It’s Michael’s style. And I think [Fox] never got comfortable with it…When Mike would ask her to do specific things, there was no time for fluffy talk. We’re on the run. And the one thing Mike lacks is tact. There’s no time [to gently say] ‘I would like you to just arch your back 70 degrees.’”

Thankfully for the busy men of the cast and crew, Rosie didn’t mind Michael Bay’s more “Hitler”-y way of getting that back arched. “Rosie comes with this Victoria’s Secret background, and she’s comfortable with it,” says Shia. “So she can get down with Mike’s way of working and it makes the whole set vibe very different.” Since Megan’s “Spice Girl strength” (oh, Shia) hasn’t kept her from posing in her underwear for Armani, it’s hard to believe she was that uncomfortable with being a sex object—unless Bay was putting the accent on object too much even for her. But thanks for at least trying to see this from Megan’s side, Shia. Now shut up and arch that back for the camera! The ladies want to see your LaBeouf!
