A few hundred of the actor’s crazed fans have started a fictional religion called Shiantology, which exalts the Transformers star as the Messiah.

They’ve even set up this website with mock pictures of Shia as Jesus Christ.

One lucky fan proved that celebrity stalker dreams do come true after she got an opportunity to interview actor Shia LaBeouf, star of Transformers: Revenge Of The Fall, on The TODAY Show Thursday, June 25.

TODAY co-host Meredith Vieira gave up her seat so that 20-year-old Samantha could meet the man of her dreams.

“I don’t know what to ask … I’m in shock … what kind of girl are you interested in – honestly. Just be honest,” she beamed.

“All kinds,” Shia replied.

“Do you have a girlfriend?” a giddy Samantha asked.

Shia responded that he doesn’t, before asking her, “What are you doing the rest of the day?”

Sounds like a love connection to us!

Shia LaBeouf is standing by his right to call his hippie mother the “sexiest woman” that he knows.

The Transformers star made the remark in an interview with the June issue of Playboy, but Shia, 23, has insisted that the media misinterpreted the comment.

“It was Mother’s Day coming up and I don’t have any problems appearing crazy to make my mother smile, but she is the most beautiful woman on this planet and I love her,” Shia told TV newsmagazine Extra on Friday.

“She’s fly as hell,” he added. “I stand by that. My mom’s awesome….I think the sickness is also on the other end to be able to twist the words and make it as ridiculous as that. Clearly, I’m not having sex with my mother. It’s ridiculous.”

In an — eh –”candid” interview with Parade Magazine, Shia LaBeouf, 23, credits his sense of humor to “seeing my parents have sex, smoke weed, my mom being naked … [and] twisted R-rated humor.”

“The good actors are all screwed up. They’re all in pain. It’s a profession of bottom-feeders and heartbroken people,” says the actor, who Parade writer Dotson Rader describes as “foul-mouthed, resentful, funny, prickly, quick-witted, and charming — a package of contradictions.”

Shia also opened up about his breakup with China Brezner, who he dated for three years.

“Maybe it was career pressure,” Shia says of the split. “Maybe I chose work. Every man has those feelings of escape and survival. I know you shouldn’t be that way. I’m trying to understand it and find the answers. I don’t have them now.”

He continued, “Why did the love of my life and I break up? … Man, I have no idea. What was that all about? I have no answers to anything. None. Why am I an alcoholic? I haven’t a damn clue! What is life about? I don’t know.”

Shia LaBeouf lost his virginity four years ago, when he was 18, but the Transformers star admits the big night quickly became a big mess after he tried to pretend he was more sexually-experienced than he really was.

Shia says his first time took place in a hotel in Montreal, Canada.

In a candid chat with the April issue of Playboy Magazine, he recalls: “For some reason, I was trying to portray myself as a man who had done it (had sex) many times in the past. I didn’t tell the girl I was a virgin.”

“I was all, ‘Don’t worry, babe. I’m gonna handle it tonight.’ And meanwhile I was shaking in my boots.”

“Getting naked was very strange. It was the first time I’d been naked in the light, in front of a girl, with no hiding place,” Shia laughs. “It became apparent pretty quickly that I didn’t know what the fuck I was doing. Somewhere in her mind she had to know.”

“I remember laying her on the bed and putting a pillow underneath her because I had seen that in a porn movie… (It) put her at a weird angle, where I couldn’t get in correctly. I’m not extremely well-endowed… and clearly this wasn’t the move to do.”

Despite their dreadful first encounter, the unidentified victim became Shia’s longtime girlfriend and helped the star master the art of love.

“We had time to work it out. We had a lot of sex and would read the Kama Sutra together and do the wildest shit.”

Shia LaBeouf has finally owned up to briefly dating pop star Rihanna — two years after rumors of a romantic relationship between the two first surfaced.

The Transformers star admits he had one date with the “Umbrella” hitmaker in 2007, but claims the two failed to hit it off as a couple.

A mutual stylist introduced the young stars when Shia was filming Indiana Jones & the Kingdom of The Crystal Skull in Hawaii, he says in the June issue of Playboy.

“(I was) filming a sword fight when I got the message. I said to myself, ‘Can this be my life?’” Shia later texted Rihanna and they set up a dinner date, but alas, it was not to be.

“It never got beyond one date. The spark wasn’t there. We weren’t passionate about each other in that way, so we remain friends.”

Shia LaBeouf’s ideal girlfriend would be someone just like his mother — because the aging hippie is the “sexiest woman” he’s ever known.

In a candid interview featured in the June issue of Playboy Magazine, the Transformers actor reveals that while he was often embarrassed by his mother’s free-spirited nature growing up, he has come to appreciate how unique she is.

Shia explains, “It’s literally a bunch of naked women tracing auras around one another’s bodies with incense and then sitting together and humming for prolonged periods of time.”

He adds, “Probably the sexiest woman I know is my mother. She’s an ethereal angel. Nobody looks like that woman. If I could meet my mother and marry her, I would. I would be with my mother now, if she weren’t my mother, as sick as that sounds.”

Michael Douglas and director Oliver Stone have inked a deal to reunite for the sequel to their 1987 hit Wall Street — and Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen star Shia LaBeouf is reportedly in negotiations to join them.

Douglas earned a Best Actor Academy Award for his role as Gordon Gekko in the original film. A young Charlie Sheen starred as a trader who compromises his integrity for the job.

The sequel will once again follow a young trader learning the ropes on Wall Street.

“Shia and AnnaLynne were kissing and cuddling throughout their meal and looked very lovey dovey,” spywitnesses at Chateau Marmont in West Hollywood revealed to The Globe’s “Loosch Lips” column on Thursday.

We wonder what AnnaLynne’s BF, Twilight star Kellan Lutz, would think about that?
