This may be the douchiest story ever written: Shock-rock has-been Marilyn Manson is getting ready to release a new cash-grab record later this year, and I guess he wanted to create a documentary about the creation of the record. He probably though: "Who out there in Hollywood can out-douche me, the douche master?" And naturally, Shia LeBouf's name immediately came to mind. Shia is not just a terrible actor, he is also a terrible music video director, most notably for Cage (which featured a cameo from Sean of Hatebreed). So the two met up and then decided to work together. When Douche Worlds Collide. If this couldn't get any douchier, Shia recently explained how the two first met on Live with Regis & Kelly while promoting the latest crap Michael Bay took, Transformers:
He's a real sweet guy," Shia said. "He's an eccentric human being. He lives in West Hollywood above a liquor store. There's no lights in the room. And there's sort of these big metal doors and he opens the door and he's in a kimono, a big pink kimono… It's sort of like a lair. No lights, so you have to use your cellphone to guide you around… We sat and watched movies for a while…. and talked about what kind of visuals he wanted on his album. Which are all really eccentric ideas. All things I can't really say out loud because this is morning television."
Of course Manson's place wouldn't have lights and of course Shia would guide around with a cellphone. UGH. Why don't you two just jump off a cliff? For those of you who are into self-torture, here is a preview of Manson's new music:
