For a minute there it seemed as if weird, artsy fartsy Shia LaBeouf was gone.? Fixed by Brad Pitt, LaBeouf again looked as if he took showers and realized that fighting with homeless guys was a bad idea.? He was even potentially starting to get hot again (I know I can’t believe I wrote that either).
But now LaBeouf is co-starring in singer Sia’s new music video, and not only is dirty hipster looking Shia back,?it’s stirring up some major controversy.? Some see it as a super deep, complex dance piece.? Others see it is a pervy old dude in briefs getting way too friendly with a child.
Sia is one of those artists that unlike Katy Perry or Lady Gaga, you don’t see her face everywhere all the time, to the point that you are sick of it.? Instead she is rarely seen out in public without some sort of disguise, and she tends to not appear in her music videos.? A few months back, Sia released the single “Chandelier” and it starred a child version of herself played by “Dance Moms” star Maddie Ziegler.? It was all interpretive dance, with Maddie in a short blonde wig and a filthy nude colored bodysuit, jumping all over the place and acting a little crazy.? It got a lot of attention, and spawned a ton of parodies.
Now, Sia has released the next single off her album, called “Elastic Heart.”? Maddie is once again back in all her “You should really get that OxyCleaned” glory, but this time she has a co-star in Shia LaBeouf.? LaBeouf is also wearing a very dirty nude article of clothing, though his is just a pair of brief shorts, and he looks like a rabid mountain man.
The whole video involves a lot of yelling, slapping at each other, rolling around on the ground.? The two are locked in a cage, except Maddie is like 25 pounds so she slips in and out of the bars, while beefy Shia can’t fit his shoulders or ego out.? Here is the video (not going to lie, I love the song so shhh listen):
Of course, panties are in a wad because a lot of people are yelling that this video is like a commercial for PedoBear.? Personally, I do not see it.? Can’t a grown ass man in tighty dingies run around a cage with a teenage girl in her onesie anymore without people judging?? Damn, man. What does really bother me though is the fact that I think I find Shia attractive in this.? Other people are all, “This is overly sexual, and wrong, and Sia should be ashamed, blah blah blah.”? Meanwhile I am sitting here all, “Oh my god, I’d hit that.? I need a shower and a drink.”
Sia has apologized for people thinking the video promotes pedophilia, when in fact the two dancers portray versions of herself.? Maddie is the drunk, fucked up Sia, and Shia is the responsible, sober one.? The irony there in the choices of roles given is not lost on me.
Well, at least Shia isn’t making more videos of him actually having sex with people for “realism” or whatever bullshit reason.? But I think homeboy could use a hot, long shower again.
