A few days ago, Details Magazine released their cover profile on Shia LaBeouf, and I have to say, they buried the lead. We get press releases from Details, and when we were sent the info on Shia’s cover, there was no blaring “BREAKING NEWS” alert that he was talking about how he and Megan Fox had some kind of affair/hookup on the set of one (both?) of the Transformers films. My point: Details buried the lead. I still love them and everything, but give us a giant “MEDIA ALERT” please. Anyway, if you’d like to review our coverage of Shia’s interview, go here. He confirmed something I suspected long ago: that he and Megan had something going on for a while, although Shia makes it sound like it was just an on-set hookup.
Anyway, Us Weekly has an interesting piece about the timeline of it – the hookup could have happened while Megan was still technically dating Brian Austin Green, and thus far, Megan hasn’t released any statements about Shia’s interview… directly. I think this may have originated from Team Fox though:
Yep, it’s true. In an instantly viral Details interview, Shia LaBeouf spoke at length about a supposed onset fling with Megan Fox, his former costar in the first two Transformers flicks.
“Yes, Megan and Shia hooked up,” a set source confirms to Us Weekly. In his Details chat, LaBeouf, 25, sputtered when asked if Fox was then involved with her now-husband Brian Austin Green during their tryst (he repeated “I don’t know” 12 times).
But the kissing costars are in the clear, the source says. “It was when Megan and Brian broke up,” the source explains. “They had a 10-month break before getting back together.” (Indeed, Fox and Green, 36, did have a break of nearly a year before reuniting and eventually tying the knot in June 2010.)
“[Shia and Megan] bonded while filming,” the source explains of the epic shoot, which was worsened by director Michael Bay’s rumored temper. “Believe me, that was an unhappy set. I think they were drawn together because it was so ugly working on that film.”
Although Bay has said that Fox was fired (at Steven Spielberg’s demand) from the flicks for public comments she made about him, “she was never fired,” the source insists. “She said enough was enough and quit.”
[From Us Weekly]
When pressed for specifics about this ten-month breakup, like when it began and when it ended, Megan’s rep looked at me blankly and then said, “Uh… I don’t know, when did Shia say he boned Megan? Go with that.”
And as for Brian Austin Green and what he thinks about all of this… am I the only one who remembers HIS interview in Details Magazine last year? Here’s the relevant portion:
Details: Your relationship [with Megan] was often described as on-again, off-again.
Brian Austin Green: We’ve been together for six years. Find a picture of one of us with any other boyfriend or girlfriend—I challenge you. You’ll only find pictures of her doing press with Shia LaBeouf or me with my son. That’s it. We never once dated anyone else or did anything else.
[From Details Magazine, October 2010 issue]
Fascinating. And it’s especially interesting that he name-checked Shia, right. But that was just “going press” – that’s probably what Megan said. Shia LaBeouf is totally a homewrecker.

He hit it and quit it!
Not surprised from this girl… very posible.
She looks Like a wax, overly made up version of Evangeline Lily
Wow, i remember that BAG interview and I’m going to say he had no idea. I think they are really pushing out any story they can about Transformers this time around. This one must suck more than the others if theyre trying this hard to hype the movie without actually talking about the movie.
You don’t need to date someone to bang them BAG, everyone knows that re:Last year interview with Detail Mag
Hot! He totally bagged BAG’s plastic dolly. I’m sure Brian is at home crying into ice cream.
Well he’s alot older…and Lainey’s take on them way back when was that Megan wanted out felt stifled but BAG was clingy and controlled her played on her poor self esteem etc. Easy to see why she would think they were broken up and he’d think they weren’t.
There is an old Lainey Blind about them called ‘how he holds her’ and it doesn’t paint a pretty picture.
I really don’t think that Megan would cheat on BAG. I really don’t think this is anyone’s business but theirs. I can’t believe how much Megan’s name is being used to draw attention to a project she’s not even in. She ought to get paid as many times as they have brought her name up in marketing this stupid movie.
Transformers’ take so far is 13 mil which is less than the last go round. I would if the bashing and Scarlet Letter branding of Megan has led to box office backlash?
@skilo But that movie made her “a name.” Without Transformers no one would give a hot damn about a second-rate future Maxim model. If anything, she should be paying them to keep her name in the trending google searches. There hasn’t been a peep about her since her last direct-to-video movie appearance..
Her photo with Shia in the black mini and not too thin shows her when her face wasn’t so puffed up. So striking.
I bet the boyfriend is furious now knowing this. She will explain it away as one time only. LOL
LEDE–look it up! The saying is “bury the lede” not the “lead”
I just don’t get it. What is the point of bringing old shit up at this point. For a movie? And what is up with all the shade being thrown at this girl. I like Megan Fox b/c she’s not a famewhore and clearly enjoys her life w/ BAG.
I think Shia ia the hugest douche and his comments are widly inappropriate. Even if they did hookup its not his place to tell the world (esspecially when BAG may not have known). She is happily married now and he is possibly ruining a marriage to publicize a shit movie and his dick.
She sure is getting a lot of publicity for this movie, and she’s not even in it! She’s getting more promotion than the Rosie girl.
I do remember news of Megan & BAG’s split around the time she was filming the first Transformers. I think part of it was because of her relationship with Shia but that was never revealed. Stupid that they bring this up now. Hope it doesn’t affect her marriage.
The Megan with the black dress doesn’t exist anymore.
She has ruined her face and body.
mln76 – Is that blind about them? I’m so confused… As I understand it, it’s implying she was preggers and ended the pregnancy? I don’t understand how that would wreck her career. I think most people wouldn’t care right now, so why would she marry him based on blackmail?
Shia is a mega douche. But Megan left herself open for this war. They are totally using her publicity, and definitely have an ax to grind with her…
Michael cry-BAY-B and Shia; the most disgusting celebrity couple ever.
What kind of desperate douche seeks attention like this? Most high school seniors are more mature.
My guess is that BAG tends to be insecure in their relationship, since her fame has eclipsed his. She probably did hook up with Shia, and she probably denied it to BAG, who believed her. Shia is really awful for interfering with her marriage like this. What a selfish, insecure jerk.
@Iggles
If you go to this website they show the clues and reveals. Seems clearly to be about BAG and MF. It’s hard to remember how big she was right at that point but I do think if the blind is accurate it would have caused a stir and a scandal in the tabs if he came forward with dirty secrets. I think BAG is or at least was controlling. But also possibly at this point MF wanted to be with someone she knew wouldn’t abandon her at the end of the day because he has been loyal.

mln76 – Thanks for the link! Wow… I can’t believe she actually married the d-bag! Not a healthy relationship AT ALL! It’s a sad day when one could say she might have been better off openly dating Shia for awhile! The girl clearly has self-esteem issues!
They’ve already said they fired her. Not content with that, they have to try and wreck her marriage too?
I’m not a Megan Fox fan (don’t like the movies at all), but what bastards they are. Poor Rosie. Making me think she won’t be in the fourth one (if there is one) because all the blame for this one not being great will be on her.
She’s a total c&cktease. I hate how she sticks her tongue out. Wrong message to send out chicky.
I remember when they were promoting the movie right there in Japan I think it was, and she said that she had a crush on some singer over there. So guess she was single?
She was practically kissing Shia in these.
That’s the blow-job mouth I remember! She has some horrible taste in men.
I don’t think her household is very happy right now. I’m sure brian is thinking of the timeline over and over again. Trying to figure out if she did cheat.
In the black dress shots, her arms and chest are darker than her legs! This is where she should have stopped with the surgeries.
Ohhh…. pictures 4 and 5 are so beautiful. Ladies…. look at her body there. Not skinny…. toned and firm but soft and round too. This is what the boys like. So eat girls…. EAT…!!
iggles (17) “But Megan left herself open for this war.”
Megan hasn’t worked with them for TWO YEARS. This sh*t should be buried by now but ‘cry-BAY-b’ and his minions won’t let it go. Megan does NOT deserve this treatment. She’s kept her head down, worked and lived her life with her husband and stepson. How does this constitute leaving herself “open for this war”?
Flan (18) “Michael cry-BAY-B and Shia; the most disgusting celebrity couple ever.” LOL…. so true. But they deserve one another.
iggles (21) “The girl clearly has self-esteem issues!”
She does and bully-Bay knows this too. A girl as gorgeous as Megan getting injectables clearly has esteem issues. It’s like she wanted to destroy the old ‘sex kitten, poster girl’ Megan. When a woman no longer wants to be herself, you know there’s an issue there.
I hope that she realizes how beautiful she is and that she has a fun, quirky personality. Some guys don’t like a gal with sass or spark or fire. Some men are scared by that and want to snuff out that flame. Something tells me that they weren’t able to do that…. and maybe that’s why she’s the victim of these character assaults.
I am SO GLAD that this film is coming in under projected box office thus far.
@ aquarius64
Where do you get that TF3 is making so poorly ?
According Hollywood Report it was released widely yesterday (after the limitted release on tuesday night) and made 37.7 millions which is the best opening day of any movie this year so far.
So far it has grossed 42+ millions, which they say is better than the first one and lesser than the second but cannot be compared because of the different release date.
According another site it will reach between 155 and 200 millions after the week-end.
I don’t like those movies, but there is no way that this last one won’t be a blockbuster like the two previous ones, Megan or no Megan in them. After all if it was all about her to guarantee the high attendance rate and box office success of this movie her other projects would have been massive hits too instead of massive bombs.
So it’s more about Shia and the robots, the leading woman having less incident in them, the same way that Bond girls are interchageable more than Bond himself..
turtle dove i just can’t sign on; megafarse is a total drip with regard to personality, intellect, charm and charisma- have you seen her in interviews including the most recently posted;she comes off as a teenager – i’m starting to wonder if hollyweird isn’t deliberately picking emotionally and intellectually stunted girls – easier to manipulate and kick to the curb when the next “hot” thing comes along. Is she even aware there’s a world out there outside her own benighted existence.
@nnn ITA except it’s not really about Shia either. It’s just about the robots. They could have gotten rid of everyone involved and started with a whole new cast and it wouldn’t have mattered people want to see the special effects. Shia’s non Transformers career is better than Megan’s true but that’s because he’s made better choices.
Well, I hope they don’t let this small “oops” ruin their 6 year long relationship.
Shame on Shia for kissing and telling and if Megan did this while with BAG shame on her too LOL
@ Turtle Dove:
“How does this constitute leaving herself “open for this war”?”
I admit, they’re being mean. But did Megan say some really stupid stuff two years ago when she was red hot. (I think “keeping her head down” has more to do with her cooling career more than a true desire to focus on domesticity)
It’s a cruel lesson she’s learning, but hollywood insiders have a long memory. Now they’re taking aim to dumb of publicity. In very poor taste, but smart from a marketing angle. Hollywood is all about the bottom line and it doesn’t matter who they have to step on!
If she didn’t run her mouth in the first place, they would have little to say about her. But she got too big for her bridges and clashes with all the other raging egos out there. Now their paying it back ten fold. It’s not right or fair, but she left herself open for criticism.
But there are pics of Megan Fox and her ex-bf David Gallagher, the guy who played Simon on 7th Heaven. Just google “Megan Fox David Gallagher”.. She was so gorgeous before all the surgery!
BAG’s been with this girl since she was, like, 4. Right? And, didn’t he put her on? I mean, introduce her to the people who introduced her to Bay? If she did fling with Shia and it did overlap, on a set no less? Why would he care?
He wifed her. He raised her, trained her, got her hot girl jobs at the peak of her hot girl years, then wifed her. She went from Transformers to getting BAG’s hot pockets out the oven and running car pool for his son by some other mommy. He wins! They got Autobot and Spelling checks coming forever. It’s not a Hugh “I missed the boat and shoulda married Holly” thing. And I doubt Shia will run back, profess his undying love to Fox and try to do a quickie in Cabo – matrimonial, hook up or otherwise.
Nothing to see here people. Move on.

_______________________________
Iggles, it saddens me that you’ve bought into this boys’ club bullsh*t. I don’t know who I feel worse for – Megan or you for believing that a woman deserves this retaliatory harassment. Women are allowed to speak, have a voice, express an opinion. The blatant hypocrisy is that Shia has talked negatively about Bay too. Let’s go through a short list of Shia’s offenses:
– Talks about Bay also
– Refused a sobriety test at a car accident
– Suspended license
– Trash talks Spielberg’s movie (Indie)
– Disses older movies in interviews
– Arrested at Walgreens (drunk off his a**)
– Cited for trespassing
– Bar fight/altercation
– Throws coffee at a photographer
– Brags about his conflicts with other stars (T-Hard vs Shia = no contest)
– Brags about sexual conquests
Did I miss anything?
Yet, when little Megan Fox compares bully-Bay to Napolean and says he wants to be like Hitler on his set, she’s vilified, dragged through the mud and is the victim of a media character assassination two years after working with these people.
When you compare the two, Iggles, who has committed more offenses? Why does Shia get away with all this and Megan can’t. Kinda makes you wonder why he’s getting a pass, huh?
Don’t allow yourself to be brainwashed into thinking men should be able to treat women this way. It’s wrong.
I cosign turtle dove. I really believe that some people in the media come off a certain way in print or in edited interviews that dont do them justice. I think she’s one.
In more important news…. Do we care?
What a little creep! To kiss and tell like this can only cause trouble in someone else’s marriage. Shia strikes me as a very immature little boy who needs to grow up.
No one seems to care than Shia has grown up to be a real misogynistic d-bag! If you put together all of his whacked out quotes, statements and comments together into one long rant it would be obvious that he sees women as objects. And he interviews like a moron – is he still drinking?
