Shia LaBeouf Humps GQ
Shia LaBeouf is really coming along as a credible actor, I finally saw Transformers and Disturbia on cable and he's actually witty and good in them. Anyways, Shia LaBeouf whores himself out for GQ to sell Indiana Jones out May 22. 


On the projects that he chooses: The [Ryan] Goslings of the world are incredible to watch, he says. But they make character pieces. It’s not that I'm not interested in making those, it's just that I really enjoy watching movies like the ones I'm making, where there's a lot happening—big-ensemble, orchestral types of movies and not just a solo act. 
On his parents: They don't work. I take care of them, and they get to create art for the rest of their days.

Natalie Portman on Cannes experience: Extremely honored to be part of this jury. Obviously Cannes represents the height of cinema from all around the world. It's an incredible opportunity to get to see so many films, from so many different countries…. It's a great pressure. It's all these great films that we have to judge and to be in the position of a judge is very humbling, because all the filmmakers are so incredible and who am I to say something, but I will.
