Say what you want about Shia LaBeouf, but we love him -- and this interview makes us even more of a fan!

The actor appears on The Ellen DeGeneres Show today, and not only does he come across as incredibly charming, but it really seems like he's in a better place after all the drama he's been through in the last year.

"Man, I went through like an existential crisis," he candidly states. "Which turned into some explorations. I had some hiccups, some judgment errors." So what about him sticking a bag on his head and letting fans come visit with him and say whatever they wanted?

The 28-year-old actor tells Ellen:

"Yeah, there was a lot of negativity online. So I thought alright, well let’s see what all this negativity is all about. Let’s invite it in. I was sitting there with a bag over my head in this room. And we had these one on one situation where we’d invite one person at a time and they can do whatever they wanted and there was also this bowl of these really malicious tweets. So people would come in and read them. I was sitting in there broken. I was really truly apologetic so I was sort of like apologizing to the public in a way. So I thought for sure people were gonna come in and be super mean from what I’d been reading. But it wasn’t’ that way at all it was very human. Once they got in there everything changed. They stopped looking at me as like an object they started looking at me as like a human and they were very loving. It was really human."

Shia added that jail helped scare him straight, and he even apologizes to the cop whose face he spit in earlier this year. The Fury star added that it was his mom who really helped him get his sh*t together, and that he's been running 12 miles every day.

So naturally, Ellen gifted Shia with a pair of electric pink spandex that say “Ellen for the cure," and if Shia wears them and takes a picture (or is photographed in them), he will raise $10,000 for Breast Cancer Research on behalf of Ulta Beauty. Seeing as he stepped out in bright purple ones the other day, it's only a matter of time before we spot him in pink ones -- can't wait!

Wait, what?!

Kendall Jenner hit up The Weeknd With Schoolboy Q And Jhene Aiko concert at the Hollywood Bowl last night, and the model looked stunning even in a casual outfit and no makeup. The reality star didn't bring a new man with her, instead opting to attend with a female pal, but she did hang out with Kim's husband Kanye and Khloe's ex French Montana backstage.

Although the "Don't Panic" rapper and Khlo broke up over a month ago, it appears he is still tight with the Kardashian clan and is making an effort to win back his former lady love. "He’s still trying to get her back though, he’s still sending her flowers and calling her. She’s having fun seeing him chase her, it’s great for her ego, but she’s over it. Khloe’s all about being single right now and taking care of herself and Malika is right there by her side," a source dished to Hollywood Life.

We wouldn't think Yeezy would give the Morocan-born bad boy the time of day, but guess not!

Not only did Gwyneth Paltrow cause a major traffic jam in West Los Angeles on Thursday night, but it seems as though the Oscar winner might have had one too many glasses of wine at the Democratic National Committee fundraiser she held at her Brentwood home!

When Paltrow gave a brief speech (well, brief for her -- we know how rambly the Goop founder can get!) she said, "I am one of your biggest fans, if not the biggest," and she then praised Obama's support for equal pay, stating that it's "very important to me as a working mother." Um, we're pretty sure Gwynnie's estimated $19 million annual income puts her in the 1% bracket, so we're not sure why she felt the need to bring THAT up...

Before handing the microphone off to the President, Gwyneth had a little Marilyn Monroe moment and gushed, "You're so handsome that I can't speak properly."

For his part, Obama thanked Gwyn and her kids for "letting us crash your house," and he then used her children as an example of why we need to solve the Ebola crisis. As you know, the first person to bring Ebola to the United States, Thomas Eric Duncan, passed away in Texas last week.

"I want to assure everybody that the likelihood of an epidemic here in the United States is extraordinarily small," Obama said. "But there's a humanitarian crisis that's happening right now in West Africa where children not much older, and in some cases younger than Apple and Moses, are dying on the streets alone." We hope he knows what he's talking about! Because if that turns out like our healthcare reform, we're in trouble...

Not only did Angelina Jolie meet the Queen of England, but HRH made Jolie a dame during a private ceremony! Jolie was presented with the Insignia of an Honorary Dame Grand Cross of the Most Distinguished Order of St. Michael and St. George at a reception at Buckingham Palace, and husband Brad Pitt and the couple's six kids were present as well.

In June Jolie, who has been a United Nations Human Rights Council ambassador for over a decade now, was named as an honorary dame in the Queen's Birthday Honors List for her campaign to end sexual violence in regions of conflict all over the world.

"To receive an honor related to foreign policy means a great deal to me, as it is what I wish to dedicate my working life to," Jolie said. "Working on PVSI and with survivors of rape is an honor in itself. I know that succeeding in our goals will take a lifetime, and I am dedicated to it for all of mine."

Someone's a party animal!

Justin Bieber's been enjoying his Italian getaway over the last few days but all of a sudden, he doesn't want other people documenting his wild nights!

Earlier in the week, the singer stopped by Scholars in Rome for some good tunes, drinks and dancing with some of the local ladies but he quickly went on the offensive after witnessing fellow bar-goers taking some snapshots.

"Yo guys please stop taking pictures and stuff," the 20-year-old implored. "Just enjoy your night, have some drinks, have some fun, you know, but put your cameras down. Put your cameras down and have some fun, man."

He didn't stop there as he noticed some girls doing the opposite of what he wanted. "I see you girls at the back … just put your phones down, man." He's quite the demanding type, huh?

Besides badgering bar patrons for their photography, the Biebs enjoyed some brews and danced with some girls so it wasn't a total wash for the privacy seeking celeb.

Next time just asking nicely!

Disney
He knows how to crash a party!

On Thursday, George Clooney came back to reality in a unique way as he surprised fans with his random visit to Disney's Tomorrowland panel at Comic-Con in New York City. Best thing is, he went straight after his honeymoon!

The 53-year-old actor, who recently got married to lawyer Amal Alamuddin, joked with everyone in attendance surrounding his surprise stop.

"It's not lost on me that I'm spending my honeymoon at Comic-Con," Clooney quipped. "My wife was as confused about what Comic-Con was as you are."

The cracks continued with Clooney adding, "Since my Batman I’d been disinvited from Comic-Con for about 15 years — sorry about the nipples on the suit."

That sense of humor never ceases!

New dad Ashton Kutcher is back to work!

The techie-for-hire is pushing the new Lenovo Yoga 2 tablet and spoke to his audience during a livestream today.

After fiancee Mila Kunis gave birth to the couple's first child, daughter Wyatt Isabelle Kutcher last week, the actor was back in action today, promoting his "other baby."

The tablet features a 50-inch projector; and Ashton joked: "My kid is only 8 days old, she's not quite reading yet, but when she gets there, I'm sure I'm going to be projecting bedtime stories all the time."

Uh, well ... daddy's gotta pay the bills!

Nicole Richie appears on The Ellen DeGeneres Show today, and the 33-year-old reformed party princess talks about new season of Candidly Nicole, but thankfully Ellen kept the chatter to a minimum when she convinced the starlet to stuff handfuls of marshmallows in her mouth. Not only is it hilarious, but Nicole is a pretty good sport about the whole thing!

Nic broke the record for the most marshmallows stuffed into a guest's mouth in 45 seconds, and Ellen awarded the starlet with a marshmallow crown and sash.

Now, if only Ellen could convince Kim Kardashian to do this...
