  FOX411 EXCLUSIVE: Shia LaBeouf is more than a little camera shy-a

  FOX 411 | Editor

  

  (Reuters)

  Shia LeBeouf was lucky enough to score a role alongside Michael Douglas in Oliver Stone’s “Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps,” but FOX411 is hearing the young actor has been a diva on the set, especially when it comes to shutterbugs.

  “Shia wants nothing to do with photographers,” an on-set source tells FOX411. “In fact, he goes out of his way to avoid them, and when he can’t avoid them, he has his handlers demand they not use flashbulbs because they bother his eyes, even when there’s only two or three photographers around. He’s a young guy, so that’s an insane request to make!”

  FOX411 EXCLUSIVE: Jill Zarin slams people who 'deface' their bodies

  FOX 411 | Editor

  

  “Real Housewives of New York” star Jill Zarin goes to great lengths to keep her appearance television ready, so it’s no surprise that the New York socialite is adamantly opposed “defacing [her] body with a tattoo.”

  “I’m 100 percent against [tattoos],” Zarin told Fox411 at the Sony Vaio and Microsoft launch party in New York. “If God wanted me to have a tattoo, he would have tattooed me when I come out. In my religion, you have to be buried in a special section if you have one, so I want to stay right where I’m supposed to be.”

  Wow, Jill, how do you really feel?

  But while Zarin had no problem opening up about tattoos, she was not willing to share as much about any details of the upcoming “Housewives” season or her rumored beef with former bff Bethenny Frankel.

  When asked about Bethenny’s spin-off show, Zarin played coy, saying she would “absolutely” watch it(she also told Fox411 that she feels she played a role in its development), but said she would “absolutely not” give us any tidbits from the new season.

  As for her favorite other “Real Housewives” city? Zarin was quick to say she doesn’t “play favorites.”

  “I like them all,” she told Fox411. “There’s no one I don’t like. They’re all different and they’re all great.”

  Report: Madonna splits from cash-strapped personal trainer, leaves Gwyneth to pay her bills

  FOX 411 | Editor

  

  Madonna split from her longtime personal trainer, Tracy Anderson, a few weeks ago and friends claim it was because Anderson was tackling too many issues in her personal life to handle the demands of a client like Madonna.

  According to report in Indianopolis Monthly, a paper based out of Anderson’s home state, the trainer behind Madonna’s famously sculpted arms is being sued by investors in her company for $1 million.

  But Fox411 has learned that it wasn’t the money that was an issue of the queen of pop, but Tracy’s constant overlap of her personal and professional life.

  Is Jimmy Kimmel pulling a David Letterman by dating staffer?

  FOX 411 | Editor

  

  (AP)

  In the wake of David Letterman’s staffer-affair scandal, one might think late night talk show hosts would steer clear of dating the hired help.

  One might be wrong.

  Jimmy Kimmel’s rep tells People.com that the comedian hooked up with “Live!” writer Molly McNearney just months after breaking it off with longtime girlfriend Sarah Silverman in March.

  In another Letterman parallel, McNearney, 31, is also double-digits younger than Kimmel, 41. (Although, to be fair, Dave’s double-digit started with a “2,” not a “1.”)

  Unlike Letterman, however, Kimmel is single, and so will likely not have to issue an on-air mea culpa as Letterman was forced to do by his wife Regina Lasko, as FOXNews.com reported exclusively.

  Unless, of course, Kimmel’s former boytoy Ben Affleck is feeling neglected.
