Odds & Ends: Shia LaBeouf Wanted Alec Baldwin Scared, The Elephant Man's Bradley Cooper Loses It & More

Here's a quick roundup of stories you may have missed today and over the weekend.

Shia LaBeouf Wanted Alec Baldwin Scared
After explaining exactly what went down at his eventful night out at Cabaret this summer, Shia LaBeouf has now revealed what led to his infamous departure from the Broadway revival of Orphans. “[Alec] Baldwin and I butted heads hard,” he told Interview magazine. “I came in method. I was sleeping in the park...And my whole goal was to intimidate the f**k out of Baldwin." LaBeouf went on to say: "I wanted him to be scared. So I went about doing that for three weeks of rehearsal, to the point that, in the end, it was unsustainable.” Apparently all’s well that ends well and LaBeouf has since made up with both the creative team and Baldwin. Hopefully one day we will see the talented star on the Great White Way for all the right reasons.
