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.

Also pictured with Shia is his new girlfriend, Karolyn Pho.

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.”

Well, in case you didn’t hear, Paris Hilton just “can’t stand black guys”…

Did she say this to the press recently? Nope.

Words that Paris said back in 1999 have come back to haunt her.

So what’s the deal?

American journalist, author, and ghost writer Neil Strauss has a new book that’s releasing this week called Everyone Loves You When You’re Dead. Los Angeles’ local alternative paper, LA Weekly, gives a great summary of the book:

The tome reveals shocking things about -and intimate moments with- the author’s vast array of interview subjects over the years: Lady Gaga bawling over an ex-boyfriend, Courtney Love considering snorting Kurt Cobain‘s ashes ala Keith Richards (this one’s already making the gossip site rounds) , Dave Navarro‘s penchant for $2000 hookers, Marilyn Manson‘s grave gigging jollies (Strauss co-wrote MM’s autobio, “Long Hard Road Outta Hell”), Julian Casablancas‘ dickishness, Snoop Dogg blunt bonanzas (okay the last three aren’t so shocking) and various rock stars’ beefs, fetishes (peeing, toes), and penchants for drugs and booze… which, by the way, no one chose to hide while they were being recorded and observed for press!

One thing that Strauss decided to leave out was a hate letter from Phil Collins.

One thing that Strauss decided to publish was a run-in with Paris he had back in 1999, during which Paris decided to take a hit of ecstasy, brag about her boob job that she got when she was 14 (and how her mom made her remove them), explain how she wanted to pose for Playboy (and tell her dad about it, so he would pay her twice as much NOT to pose), and… point out which guy she made out with (but stopped when he saw him in the light and noticed he was black).

Here’s an excerpt from Strauss’ book:

In 1999, shortly after moving to Los Angeles to cover pop culture for the New York Times, I ended up in a room with someone I’d never heard of before. She seemed to embody young Hollywood. She didn’t want to be an actress, a singer, or a star – though she would soon become all three. The art form she’d chosen to embrace was partying.  She was with a model friend of hers and talking about performing a sex show together for someone named Artie the previous night, then taking dirty photographs afterward. In the background as we spoke, the movie Saving Private Ryan was playing. After this conversation, she proceeded to get drunk on Midori sours (each with six cherries in the glass), make out with David Faustino of Married… with Children, take a hit of ecstasy, play Britney Spears songs practically nonstop, and have a threesome. Maybe she said what follows for provocation and shock value. Maybe she didn’t. You decide…

PARIS HILTON: I had a breast job when I was fourteen, but my mother made me take them out.

How old are you now?

HILTON: I’m eighteen.

Are you working?

HILTON: I’m thinking about posing for Playboy. They love famous people’s kids.

Like who?

HILTON: I don’t know. And the only reason I’d do it is because when my dad finds out, he’ll pay me double the money not to do it.

Later…

HILTON: I went out with that guy last night.

Which guy?

HILTON (points to an actor in Saving Private Ryan): We were making out, but then we went somewhere where it was bright and saw that he was black and made an excuse and left. I can’t stand black guys. I would never touch one. It’s gross (pauses) . Does that guy look black to you?

How black does a guy have to be?

HILTON: One percent is enough for me.

And there it is. This is how words from the past are slapping Miss Hilton in the face.

Party like it’s 1999.

Thoughts?

Well, that’s not creepy at all, is it!?

The 23-year-old True Blood actress opens up to Nylon Magazine for their November issue. She talks about on-again, off-again boyfriend Marilyn Manson, doing nude scenes wanting to play Janis Joplin, and more! This is Evan Rachel Wood’s third time on the cover of Nylon.

The North Carolina native seemed like a perfect choice to star on our cover – both in her photos and her interview.  See snippets of both below, then get the entire story in our November issue, on stands tomorrow.

On Kate Winslet coaxing her into doing a nude scene:
“I always had a rule that I was only going to do topless and never the whole package, I have to have some kind of mystery! But she then explained to me what a merkin was…”

On Marilyn Manson
“I mean, dating Marilyn Manson… it’s kind of impossible to keep that out of the spotlight… He had a hand in raising me! Oh, I’m always gonna love that guy.  He’s a genius, he’s an amazing artist, we’re still friends.  Some things just aren’t meant to be.”

On her next musical role:
“I wanna play Janis Joplin.  Can I just claim that now please?… Across the Universe is not how I sing- that was very pretty.  I sing more like Janis, rough and loud.”

On George Clooney:
“He goes, ‘You’re really good at going from innocent to sexy in the drop of a hat,’ and I was like, ‘I don’t know what you’re talking about!”
