Shia LaBeouf 'Whacked' Alan Cumming
Shia LaBeouf has recently been busy explaining his eventful night out at Broadway’ Cabaret in June; now the show's star, Alan Cumming, has revealed how the drama played out from his perspective.

"We've all done things where we've been out of it and messed up and not everyone has to deal with it on such a worldwide scale." Catch Cumming, the sexiest man LaBeouf has ever seen, at Studio 54 through March 29, 2015.

But now, with the news that the star will host the 2015 Oscars, comes a big accolade that means everyone will be aware of the fact. Harris has been named one of Barbara Walters’ 10 Most Fascinating People of the year. According to Deadline, the former Hedwig will appear alongside big names including Tony winner Scarlett Johansson and (maybe Broadway headliner) Oprah Winfrey on the December 14 ABC broadcast.
