Shia LaBeouf Finally Cut Off His Rattail
Oh, Shia LaBeouf's rattail, we hardly knew ye. Just months after unveiling his '90s-era Americana look, and just days after freestyle rapping/screaming at Mt. Rushmore, Shia LaBeouf surfaced in Los Angeles with his mother—sans rattail. And, Shia's rattail, though your life was short, you lived hard and fast. It seems like only yesterday that you were just a little guy, before you blossomed into a full-blown ponytail thing. Remember when you showed up on the red carpet? Or the time you survived being put through a plate glass window? Or when you told us you had dreams of directing? And who could forget the time you inspired millions to, as Shia so beautifully put it, to "Just do it!" We can only hope that your spirit will live forever on film in Shia's new movie, American Honey (due out this fall), and that you've ascended to rattail heaven. Rest in Peace, buddy.
