Shia LaBeouf is already known as one of the HAWT guys in Hollywood just for his face. Now imagine Shia’s face and a body with 40 lbs of muscle? Try not the melt! Shia said he had to bulk up for his character in ‘Lawless.’

“I had to gain 40 pounds. That was probably the most physically arduous thing I’ve done, you know? I’ve never had that kind of weight on my chest before. It’s something to get used to.”

I guess so! But I hope they got plenty of topless scenes- you know, to commemorate all of Shia’s hard work- LOL. Shia said it was also hard to learn how to drive the vintage cars in the ‘Lawless.’

“It’s not like you’ve got a clutch and a throttle – it’s totally different; you’ve got pedals that you’ve never seen before. You look down at the floorboard – there are 12 pedals there. You think you’re flying a hover board. These old-school trucks were very difficult to drive.”

Harvey Weinstein, who’s studio was behind ‘Lawless,’ said he and two other famous guys are proud of Shia.

“Matt Damon and Ben Affleck and I gave birth to Shia. You’ve seen that John Ford movie, ’3 Godfathers’? That’s us. We did a TV series … that was called ‘Project Greenlight’. And one of the first movies that we made was on that show, and Shia was the actor. I am so, so proud of him, and so are his other two godfathers.”

Steven Spielberg might take exception to that, since he’s responsible for all of Shia’s major roles, from the ;ast ‘Indiana Jones’ movie to the ‘Transformers’ franchise, but regardless of who’s responsible, we’re all glad Shia’s in Hollywood!

Virtually everyone I know is a fan of Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge’s style! Getting her long, lean lines comes down to genetics and diet/exercise, but I can tell you how to get her look for less. The Duchess was stunning when she stepped out of the car at Claridges in London in this gorgeous Roland Mouret gown.

You can get a budget-friendly version of this gown at S.I.C. Couture. They have the nearly identical Angelina dress. It retails for only $270. Talk about a STEAL for such a gorgeous gown!

Robert Pattinson may be back in the spotlight following his gal pal’s cheating scandal, but soon he’ll leave his troubles behind for the land of Oz. According to reports, the screen stud is said to be excited about getting away from Hollywood as he shoots his new flick, The Rover, down under.

“Rob wants to get away for a while, and is looking forward to filming in the desert in Australia,” said a source. “He needs some space.”

While an Australian escape will definitely take Rob’s mind off things, he also has good friends who are helping to keep his spirits up. As the New York Post reports, the Cosmopolis star and pals enjoyed a guy’s night out on Aug. 14.

“He was drinking beers, dancing and having a good time. He was bro’-hugging everyone. There were some girls dancing [near Rob], but he didn’t seem to take any special interest in [any of them].”

Though Rob’s still shaken over Kristen’s infidelities, he’s reportedly ready to see her. Perhaps they want to talk things out before taking the stage together at next month’s Video Music Awards. It’ll mark their first public appearance together since news of the affair broke.

Joel Madden really let it all hang loose in this radio interview in Australia- LOL. He and Nicole Richie spent several months in Australia with their kids while he did the Australia version of ‘The Voice.’ When the radio interviewer played a clip of Nicole talking, Joel didn’t hold back.

“First of all, she has that interview voice that really gets on my nerves! You ever hear your wife or girlfriend talk to someone you’re like, shut up man? She’s not that nice in real life!”

Joel also said he was the organized one in the family. He said it fell to him to make sure they were packed to make sure they didn’t miss their flight out of Australia after ‘The Voice’ finished filming.

“To be honest with you we can’t count the number of bags she brought, it was in the neighborhood of 10 to15. After ‘The Voice’, I was like, ‘Let’s get the kids home.’ We were all homesick, I was like, ‘Can you pack all the bags?’ She said, ‘Yes,’ and then she didn’t pack all the bags.

“We were literally about to miss our flights, and I had to throw all this s**t in a bag. She is the worst with packing, she tells all our friends, ‘I pack his bags when we he goes on trips,’ she doesn’t pack my bags when I go on trips, I pack my own bags. [sic]“

Even watching the Olympics was a challenge.

“The final of the Olympics were on!  I’ve been in the studio, I missed most of the Olympics, all I wanted was to watch it. She was watching one of 10 movies she watches all the time; she watches ‘Glitter’, ‘First Wives Club’. She watches all these awful movies!”

Joel sounds like a typical married man- LOL. When the radio host said it was good to hear he had the same experiences that all men have with their wives, Joel said:

“God bless her though, I love my wife!”

Yeah, typical married man!

This would be a sweet gesture if it was true, but my impression is Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston probably aren’t having ANY contact these days. However, this story reports Brad called to congratulate Jennifer on her engagement to Justin Theroux. A source told the London paper the Daily Mirror:

“Brad gave Jen a quick call to say how pleased he was to hear that she was getting married. He jokingly asked if he should ‘save the date’, and they both laughed, but told her in all seriousness that he was really happy for her and Justin. He wished her luck and told her he hopes they’re very happy together. Brad and Angelina are due to marry in the next few weeks and [Jennifer] wished him all the best for his wedding, too.

“Brad and Jen don’t get in touch that often as they’ve both moved on with their lives. Jen does still chat to his mom, Jane, so there are rumors in Hollywood that she will make an appearance at the wedding. But the guest list hasn’t even been started yet, so it’s too early to say for sure.”

I bet the best part of this for Brad is Jennifer’s engagement just might finally end the love triangle the media has had Jennifer, Brad, and Angelina Jolie in for so long! What do you think of this story: Fact or Fiction?

I find this story REALLY hard to believe, but who knows? Radar Online reports Kristen Stewart has been dropped from the ‘Snow White and the Huntsman‘ sequel. Instead of doing a sequel, the studio is said to be planning a “spin off” featuring Chris Hemsworth’s character, the Huntsman. How is that supposed to work?

Liberty Ross is said to have “forbidden” Rupert Sanders from working with Kristen again. This would be a big loss for Rupert, since ‘Snow White and the Huntsman’ was his first commercial success as a director. Now Radar Online said the studio will likely invite Rupert back to direct the ‘Huntsman’ spin-off. So they’re going to drop the main character, Snow White, to get a previously unknown director back? Seriously? This is what I have a hard time believing. Do you believe it?
