Loose lips Shia LaBeouf has struck once again. The 24-year-old actor—known for his shoot-from-the-hip candor—is spilling about the Transformers turmoil that got costar Megan Fox booted from the lucrative franchise.
LaBeouf tells the LA Times:
Megan developed this Spice Girl strength, this woman-empowerment [stuff] that made her feel awkward about her involvement with Michael, who some people think is a very lascivious filmmaker, the way he films women. 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. This is a girl who was taken from complete obscurity and placed in a sex-driven role in front of the whole world and told she was the sexiest woman in America. And she had a hard time accepting 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 for [LaBeouf assumes a gentle voice] ‘I would like you to just arch your back 70 degrees.
Man, I remember when Bell Biv DeVoe inspired black people to stand up for their rights and riot on the streets. Now, the Spice Girls empowerment movement is making women want to be equals? I guess our forefathers were right. Pop music really is dangerous shit.
Director Mathew Vaughn’s X-Men: First Class raked in an estimated $3.4 million from its midnight showings. The 20th Century Fox reboot has so far garnered positive reviews from critics and mouth-breathers alike, and is expected to open this weekend in the $48-to-$55 million range.
The film stars Jennifer Lawrence (Mystique), January Jones (Emma Frost), Rose Byrne (Moira), Kevin Bacon (Sebastian Shaw), James McAvoy (Charles Xavier), and Michael Fassbender (Magneto).
Why the box office report? Because, posting a photo of twenty-year-old Lawrence in all her blue, topless glory without any context is simply unprofessional. So … like go see X-Men: First Class this weekend and yada, yada.

In brightest day, in blackest night, no celebrity rack escapes Clatto’s sight!
She may be starring opposite Ryan Reynolds in Warner Bros. soon-to-be-released Green Lantern, but Blake Lively fans are focusing all of their attention on her headlights instead. Nude photos of the 23-year-old stunner have been leaked online by someone who is clearly doing the Lord’s work.
Lively’s reps claim the self-taken smartphone pics are fake, but those who have seen them believe different. Personally, I’m terrible at recognizing faces when they belong to people with big bouncy breasts … so I couldn’t tell you if the shots are real. But, hey, judge for yourself: See Blake’s nudes here.
