Shia LaBeouf admits hooking up with Megan Fox
(CBS) Shia LaBeouf is coming clean about an on-set fling with his former "Transformers" co-star Megan Fox.
The 25-year-old nodded in the affirmative when asked about the hookup in the August issue of Details magazine.

"Look, you're on the set for six months, with someone who's rooting to be attracted to you, and you're rooting to be attracted to them," he said in the interview. "I never understood the separation of work and life in that situation. But the time I spent with Megan was our own thing, and I think you can see the chemistry onscreen."
When asked if the romance occurred while Fox was dating now-husband Brian Austin Green, LaBeouf said he wasn't sure.
"I don't know, man. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know," he repeated the phrase 12 times in all, according to the magazine. "It was what it was."
Fox starred alongside LaBeouf in the first two "Transformers" films, but did not return for the third - reportedly because executive producer Steven Spielberg had her fired after she compared franchise director Michael Bay to Hitler. She was replaced by Rosie Huntington-Whiteley for the latest film, "Transformers: Dark of the Moon," which comes out on Wednesday.
In the Details interview the actor, who is now dating stylist Karolyn Pho, also opened up about his other Hollywood romances, including his one date with Hilary Duff ("probably the worst date either of us have ever had") and his relationship with ex-girlfriend Carey Mulligan, which ended in October 2010.
"I still love her...I think she's a f-----g awesome person and an incredible actress," he said of his "Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps" co-star. "We're still pals. I wouldn't take any of it back, and I don't think she would either. It just ran its course."
