Shia LaBeouf has become close friends with Marilyn Manson, after the actor directed the singer’s latest music video. (Which surprises me, considering the story we heard earlier this week about Shia going completely nuts on Marilyn, and spitting water all over the singer and his girlfriend!)

The “Transformers” star is a longtime Manson fan and now counts him as one of his dearest pals after shooting the promo for his single, “Born Villain.”

LaBeouf tells MTV.com, “I love Marilyn. Manson is like a brother to me now. He’s a real sweet dude, a real close friend…

“Marilyn Manson to me is an indelible figure. He’s a big deal to me, and in my childhood, I don’t know of a scarier figure in art. He, in my teenage years, was the scariest thing in the world, so part of me has always been intrigued.”

But the actor has warned his fans they may not be impressed by the adult video, which features graphic imagery.

He adds, “There are fans of mine who aren’t fans of Manson’s and vice versa; that’s why I think our collaboration is interesting. I don’t really see it on paper. I don’t see fans of mine who went to see ‘Holes’ when they were 12 loving this. I don’t think my audience is the only thing I should exercise my artistic muscle for. I don’t necessarily always do things for the audience; this is one of those.”

I watched the video – and I find it pretty disturbing, so I’m not going to post it here. If you want to see it, I’m sure you can find it. Here the new BFF’s are after leaving a promotion for Manson’s new album in Los Angeles.

Shia LaBeouf had a rough night last night. The actor was at an LA party when he began acting very strange. According to sources at the scene, the actor had a “public meltdown” and spat water all over his date and rocker Marilyn Manson before charging through the crowd to exit.

At the Aug. 26 opening of the LA outpost of The Box nightclub sponsored by Belvedere, the witness tells Life & Style, “Shia picked up a water bottle and shot a mouthful of water all over his seated date’s legs.

“Then he put more water in his mouth and started spitting it all over his tablemates, including Marilyn Manson. He seemed wasted.”

But according to the witness, neither his date, his friends nor Marilyn could calm Shia down — even after Marilyn offered a fist bump, as if to say everything was fine.

“People started taking their seats in front of the stage at the event, but all of a sudden Shia started shouting at his date and getting visibly angry,” the eyewitness tells Life & Style. Then he headed for the door. “He lunged through the very thick seated crowd, and the crowd pleaded with him and encouraged him to sit down. They tried to hold him back — but he kept struggling through.”

And the audience at the event got more than just the show it came to see. “Shia had to climb over people and tear himself out of the grasp of various strangers who were trying to keep him from going crazy,” the eyewitness says. “His date panicked and ran out after him. Marilyn looked shocked and annoyed but stayed seated. Shia and the girl did not return.”

“It was so insane — he just had a total meltdown right in front of everyone,” the eyewitness tells Life & Style. “It was completely out of control. He was so angry and physical. He was determined to get out of there.”

So what’s Shia’s problem? Angry drunk? Nervous breakdown?

These pictures are what nightmares are made of. What in the world is up with her face mask – and even worse, that fake patch of pubes?

Marilyn sure knows how to pick em! Marilyn Manson was spotted out with his girlfriend leaving Chateau Marmont in West Hollywood last night. His girlfriend was sporting a doll mask, blonde wig, and more surprising, a fake patch of pubic hair showing through a cutout in her pink dress.

Marilyn and his girlfriend had a rough night…. reports circulating this morning say that Shia Labeouf went crazy on Marilyn and his girlfriend last night. Stay tuned…that story coming next!

In this week’s New York magazine, Evan Rachel Wood talks about her roles in The Conspirator and Mildred Pierce, as well as her relationship with her ex, Marilyn Manson:

“I didn’t really get a normal childhood,” says Wood. “Manson gave me what I felt I’d missed out on, where you get to experiment and cut loose and change and grow. I lived 50 lifetimes in those four years.”

Evan, who considers herself Jewish, was the daughter of a Jew (her mother) and a Christian (her father). She was homeschooled (earning her GED at 15), which might be why she considers her childhood non-traditional. In her early teens, she was described as “the sad, introverted teen”, on which she commented: “It’s just a type I enjoy playing. But I don’t want to be typecast as the misery chick for the rest of my career. I guess I have to watch out for that.”

What a way to start my day of blogging. This was in my inbox this morning, and I couldn’t believe it! Gavin opened up in the new issue of Details, explaining his relationship with Robinson.

Details: Last year, the cross-dressing pop singer Marilyn revealed that he was romantically involved with you in your teens—an assertion Boy George first made in 1995. Why haven’t you talked about those claims?

Gavin Rossdale: I think at the outset there was a sort of fear—that was right at the beginning of Bush, and I didn’t want it to be part of it. It felt like a cheap shot, so I was like, “I’m not getting involved.” I’ve never wanted to appear closed about it. It’s not something I’ve talked about really because it’s always been in the glare of a tabloid world. It’s just one of those things: Move on. When you’re 17, Jesus Christ. I don’t think there’s anything strange about any form of—you’re learning about life. It’s a part of growing up. That’s it. No more, no less.

Details: So it was just a one-time experimentation?
Gavin Rossdale: Yeah. That was it. You have to know what you like, and I know what I like.

According to PEOPLE, Marilyn Manson and Evan Rachel Wood ended their engagement last week!

Manson hit L.A. hotspot Boudoir with some friends on Saturday night to blow off some steam. “They just broke off their engagement, and he needed a night out with friends,” says another source.

Manson proposed to Wood back in January during a performance in Paris. They originally began dating in 2006, but split two years later when Wood was rumored to have cheated with actor Shane West (pic below). They split – then reconnected in January when they became engaged.
