The big breakup news of the last week comes courtesy of Shia LaBeouf who, apparently, has chosen sex over longtime girlfriend Karolyn Pho. And you won’t believe who he’s dating now. LaBeouf is set to star – and perform real-life sex scenes – in Lars von Trier’s upcoming film “Nymphomaniac.” That didn’t set too well with Pho, an up-and-coming stylist who met LaBeouf at an LA karaoke bar in 2011. As one might expect, Pho was none too pleased and made her position …More

Is anyone else slightly worried that Shia LaBeouf is moving away from major, big-budget films and creeping closer and closer to the porn industry? Ok, maybe that’s an exaggeration, but news that LaBeouf is reportedly lining up to join the cast of Lars Von Trier’s “Nymphomaniac” is not bringing down any raised eyebrows.

It’s a disastrous and troubling mess of chords; the director himself made excuses in his statement: “my …More

Director Lars von Trier has retracted his apology for saying at the Cannes Film Festival that he had sympathy for Hitler. In an interview in this month's GQ magazine, von Trier said his apologies at and immediately after Cannes, where he was declared a persona non grata and removed from the festival in May, were not sincere and forced, the Toronto Sun reported. "I'm not sorry. I am not sorry for what I said," he reportedly told GQ. "I'm sorry that it didn't come out more clearly. I'm not sorry that I made a …More

Following von Trier’s apology for telling press at the Cannes Film Festival that he’s a Nazi who understands Hitler, the Festival has disassociated itself from the "Melancholia" director. The Cannes Film Festival says in a statement that the Festival’s Board of Directors has met and “profoundly regrets that this forum has been used by Lars Von Trier to express comments that are unacceptable, intolerable, and contrary to the ideals of humanity and generosity that preside over the …More
