I’d like to think that as the years go by, we get better and better looking. We always evolve from an ugly duckling to a beautiful swan.

Just look at these before and after pictures of some of the hottest stars in Hollywood. They used to have bushy eyebrows, but now they have neatly threaded brows. They used to have frizzy hair, but now they have lucious long locks. They used to have a crooked nose, but now it’s thin and even due to many surgical procedures.

Oh No They Didn’t posted dozens of before and after shots and we’ve picked our favourite 10. Check them out.

Shia LaBeouf

Brian Austin Green

Kristen Stewart

Lindsay Lohan

Megan Fox

Jennifer Lopez

Miley Cyrus

Courtney Cox

Amber Rose still looks the same.

Shia LaBeouf Directs Kid Cudi in “Maniac”

Shia LaBeouf lets Optimus Prime and Bumblebee sit this one out while he directs Kid Cudi in a short film called “Maniac”. This isn’ the first time the 25-year-old Transformers star collaborated with the rapper. Last year he directed Cudi’s music video for “Marijuana” which featured the avid rhymer partying and smoking weed in Amsterdam – a typical Kid Cudi scenerio.

This time around, “Maniac” is like a disturbed episode of Criminal Minds that didn’t make it past the cutting room floor. Inspired by one of his songs off Man on the Moon II: The Legend of Mr. Rager, Cudi is seen with fellow rapper Cage as they go on a murderous rampage throughout town. It’s mega-creepy and graphic for just a 10 minute shortie. Expect to be soiling your pants by the half-way mark.

Shia LaBeouf Gets Beat Up In Vancouver

Last night Shia LaBeouf got a severe taste of street justice after a fat guy beat him like a red-headed-step child (we’re allowed to make the jokes, @itsbooyeah is a ginger).

According to TMZ Shia was involved in an altercation outside of a bar in Vancouver called Cinema Public House when this happened:

Why would anyone want to take a swing at Shia LaBeouf? (Pause for sarcasm to take effect)

Well, you could speculate it was on account of a number of drunken altercations, his DUI, the press junkets where he compares his work in Transformers to cinematic masterpieces like Citizen Kane, or the simple explanation that he is a douchebag. After all, this is the very same actor that has such a severe Oedipus complex he openly stated he would sleep with his mother (if she wasn’t his mom).

Furthermore, he’s a deliberate bohemian that basks in controversy and celebrates confrontation. So, good for you Shia, Napoleon would be proud. The fact that you threw your 105 pound manorexic frame into an ass-kicking and attempted to go for seconds proves that you’re a true warrior. It’s too bad that all those stunt fighting classes never really paid off, but seriously, I’m glad that aside from a bruised ego, no one actually got hurt.

This shouldn’t really surprise anybody – but still nice to know. In a recent interview with Details.com, Shia LaBeouf indicated that he hooked up with Megan Fox – nice!

Although its not 100% clear, during the interview, the interviewer asked LaBeouf directly if he ever hooked up with Megan. His response? The article said, “LaBeouf nods affirmatively.”

LaBeouf explained, “Look, you’re on the set for six months, with someone who’s rooting to be attracted to you, and you’re rooting to be attracted to them.”

“I never understood the separation of work and life in that situation. But the time I spent with Megan was our own thing, and I think you can see the chemistry onscreen.”

OK is this really that surprising to anybody? Two hot celebrities in the same movie – it was bound to happen.

Shia LaBeouf Didn’t Like ‘Indiana Jones’ Sequel

Sam Rashid — Mon, 17 May 2010 17:06:43 +0000

That’s right! You are not alone. That is, if you were disappointed by the Indian Jones sequel, Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. And guess what … star of the movie, Shia LaBeouf, felt the same way, reports MTV News.

Last week at the Cannes Film Festival, LaBeouf made his opinion on the movie very clear.

“I feel like I dropped the ball on the legacy that people loved and cherished,” LaBeouf said. “You get to monkey-swinging and things like that and you can blame it on the writer and you can blame it on Steven [Spielberg, director]. But the actor’s job is to make it come alive and make it work, and I couldn’t do it. So that’s my fault. Simple.”

But the star was not just concentrated and concerned about himself. LaBeouf is aware of the perception that’s out there and he shows respect for the audience.

“I think the audience is pretty intelligent. I think they know when you’ve made [crap],” LaBeouf said. “And I think if you don’t acknowledge it, then why do they trust you the next time you’re promoting a movie?”

This unusual display of honesty in an industry typically driven by studios and publicists is quite nice. But there is always the down side for speaking out.

“I’ll probably get a call,” LaBeouf said. “But [Spielberg] needs to hear this. I love him. I love Steven … And I would never disrespect the man … But when you drop the ball you drop the ball.”

Movie Review: New York, I Love You

Sorry “New York, I Love You,” not everyone will fall head over heels for you. The film interlocks a series of shorts from 11 directors – all based in The Big Apple.

Of course, a vignette set in New York City has only one place to start off: a yellow taxicab. “Hangover” buddies Bradley Cooper and Justin Bartha kick off the movie by playing strangers who land the same cab. But aside from the yellow car, a few distinct restaurants and references to Central Park, “New York, I Love” seems like it could take place in any other metropolis. It fails to show what makes New York one of the most visited cities in the world.

To be fair, each director had only two days to shoot their short film and a week to edit each segment. But you would think that a diverse group of directors from around the world (including Yvan Attal from France, Jiang Wen from China, Shekhar Kapur and others) would paint a multicultural picture of New York –which is not the case. That being said, at least there’s an abundance of love in this movie, ranging from platonic love to parental.

There are definitely worthwhile moments as well as both acting and directing revelations in “New York, I Love You.” Natalie Portman, for example, takes both a behind the camera role and an on-screen one (playing a Hasidic diamond broker). The short she directs, featuring Taylor Geare (who plays Portman’s daughter in the upcoming movie “Brothers”), is a highlight of the movie. Also keep an eye out for Anton Yelchin who had a supporting role in this year’s revamped “Star Trek.” He proves in this movie that he could very well give both Michael Cera and Jesse Eisenberg a run for their money.

“New York, I Love You” brings together a mishmash of young Hollywood stars including Blake Lively, Orlando Bloom, Rachel Bilson, Christina Ricci, Hayden Christensen, Olivia Thirlby and Shia LaBeouf in what seems to be an attempt at attracting a younger crowd to see the film. However, it fails to have that “Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist” vibe.

Produced by the same people who brought you “Paris, je t’aime,” this movie is the second film in the Cities of Love franchise. The next stop will be Shanghai, followed by Rio de Janeiro and Jerusalem.

While you may not love “New York, I Love You” there’s bound to be parts you’ll enjoy.

Kevin Spacey Sets Record Straight About Facebook Movie

After the hit gambling movie “21,” Kevin Spacey is once again teaming up with author Ben Mezrich to produce “The Social Network,” an adaptation of the the new book “The Accidental Billionaires.” The book tells the story of Facebook creator Mark Zuckerberg.

There have been rumours that actors including “Transformers” star Shia Labeouf, Canadian Michael Cera and “I Love You, Beth Cooper’s” Paul Rust are up for the lead role. However, in an interview with MTV News, Spacey set the record straight and said no one has read for the part.

“I can’t imagine anyone’s read for it because we haven’t really announced the director…So I don’t think anyone’s read for it. Maybe in their fantasy they’ve auditioned for it,” he told MTV News.

Although an official announcement has not been made as to who will be directing the flick, “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” director David Fincher is reportedly set to direct the movie.

Spacey said the story is “very filmic, very modern, very cool” and that they could be shooting the film “this year”.

Critics may have given thumbs down to “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen,” but that sure isn’t stopping fans from watching the action flick on the silver screen.

After just 14 days in theatres, the sequel to the highly successful “Transformers” raked in an impressive $300 million in U.S. ticket sales, making it second to last summers blockbuster hit “The Dark Knight” in terms of box office figures.

The first film — starring Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox — grossed $319.2 million domestically during its entire time in theatres and $700 million worldwide.

Meanwhile, “Revenge of the Fallen” has already raked in $600 million internationally since its June 24 release, according to BoxOfficeMojo.com.

Needless to say director Michael Bay is ecstatic over his movie that’s explosive both on screen and with the audience.

Chase Crawford Is People’s Hottest Bachelor

Jason Mesnick and Jillian Harris — reality stars of ABC’s “Bachelor” and “Bachelorette” — may have to move aside because “Gossip Girl’s” Chase Crawford is “the hottest bachelor” according to People magazine.

After all, the 23-year-old actor has had quite a busy year. Crawford starred in one of the most buzzed-about TV shows, garnered a role that allows him to share the screen with Kiefer Sutherland and has recently been cast as the lead in the highly anticipated “footloose” remake.

But don’t be fooled by his success, Crawford’s ideal date involves a simple beer and pool table. “All you need is a pool table, beer, an electric jukebox and good conversation,” he told People magazine. “The day a girl beats me in a game of Beirut [a kind of beer pong] is a good sign!”

“Star Trek’s” Chris Pine and “Transformers” star Shia Labeouf have also made the cut. This year’s list also includes “American Idol” runner-up Adam Lambert and “90210’s” Ryan Eggold. From “Twilight,” both Robert Pattinson and Kellan Lutz are listed among the 45 bachelors.

Shia LaBeouf Loses Driving License

Posted on andPOP:

Actor Shia LaBeouf had his license suspended on Saturday due to his refusal to take a Breathalyzer test when he was busted on suspicion of driving under the influence after a July car crash, a DMV official said to E! News.

“It was suspended for refusing a chemical test,” said the official, who explained to E! News that although LaBeouf was cleared of DUI charges after investigators determined the accident was caused by the other driver, the suspension was “automatic.”

The young actor has required two surgeries due to a crushed hand after his rollover crash on July 27. The accident was caused after a driver ran a red light, crashing into LaBeouf’s car.

According to California law, drivers who refuse to take a breath, blood or urine test for a suspected DUI can have their license suspended for up to one year.

According to E News, Shia LaBeouf is going to be taking a little break from filming due to a severe injury to his left hand in a July 27 rollover crash.

“Shia’s hand is totally shattered, it’s much worse than anyone thought,” the source said.

LaBeouf, 22, somehow managed to film through his injury in “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen”, however, was forced to drop out of the upcoming technology-themed thriller Dark Fields. Production on the film had already been delayed thanks to its now former star’s medical issues.

LaBeouf, who already underwent one extensive surgery in the days immediately following his accident, requires a second procedure to further repair the area around his thumb.

Shia LaBeouf’s Hand ‘Crushed’ in Collision

Shia LaBeouf’s left hand was “crushed” in a weekend traffic accident and possibly runs the risk of infection, reports People Magazine.

“The force of (the) impact immediately flipped Shia’s vehicle over, and, as a result, Shia’s left hand was crushed,” said the actor’s attorney Michael Norris in a statement.

“Shia underwent four hours of surgery on Sunday and has been recovering since then. His doctors remain hopeful that he will fully recover, but due to extensive surgery and the nature of the injuries, there remains a substantial risk of both infection and other complications.”

A week ago, LeBeouf, 22, suffered the injuries when his truck collided with another vehicle.

“We have also received information that suggests that the other driver may have been traveling upwards of 50 mph, and that said driver may not have been looking forward at the time of the accident,” the lawyer says.

A Los Angeles County sheriff spokesman said the actor may have not been at fault for the crash.

“We have strong evidence that the other driver ran a red light,” sheriff’s spokesman Steve Whitmore said. “The case is still under investigation.”

Shia LaBeouf is recovering in a Los Angeles hospital after an early morning car crash Sunday, reports E! News.

The 22-year-old actor was allegedly making a left turn when his Ford F-150 pickup struck another car and rolled over twice. The accident left the “Indiana Jones” and “Transformers” star with an injury to his left hand, head and knee.

L.A. County Sheriff’s deputies came to the scene of the accident involving the two-vehicle collision at around 2:30 a.m. LaBeouf had to undergo surgery for his hand injury while his female passenger and the woman driving the other vehicle suffered minor injuries. Although all three were taken to the hospital, both women were treated and released while LaBeouf remains at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.

LaBeouf was booked on suspicion of DUI but was released from sheriff’s custody to get medical attention.

Shia LaBeouf’s Traumatic Childhood

“Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” star Shia LaBeouf has opened up about his traumatic childhood.

The 21-year-old actor grew up in a part of Los Angeles full of gang crime and even witnessed violence first-hand during the race riots in 1992.

“I saw people get stabbed across the street in the park on a daily basis,” said LaBeouf, who also admits his father was a drug dealer and addict.

“I didn’t get a lot of time with my father. I didn’t really know him until I started working on my Disney show ‘Even Stevens’, and that was because I was paying him to be my parent on set.”

The two have never had a close father-son relationship.

LaBeouf Gets Praise From Harrison Ford

While the new “Indiana Jones” movie is receiving positive early reviews, star Harrison Ford has even more glowing compliments for his young co-star, Shia LaBeouf.

“He has an enormous talent,” Ford said at a press event over the weekend. “He had some very archaic skills to acquire and he worked really hard. He will be around for a long, long time.”

LaBeouf said he was nervous to take on the role of Ford’s sidekick. “It’s terrifying and exciting,” he said. “Even if you’re welcome the scope is daunting and you have to get past that Harrison is Harrison – that’s very scary.”

He noted that though Ford isn’t easy to befriend, the two bonded over doing their own stunts. “We started by jumping right into stunts and you find this mutual respect with Harrison… And when we became friends everything became easier.”
