Sia sorry for 'pedophilia' imagery in new video

Pop singer Sia has posted an apology on Twitter for her new provocative video for the song Elastic Heart.

The video features Shia LaBeouf, 28, in an intimate dance/cage fight with Maddie Ziegler, 12. Ziegler, star of Dance Moms reality show, was featured in a video for Sia's huge hit, Chandelier.

The pre-teen is again in a flesh-colored body suit and is writhing around at times with LaBeouf.

The video generated enough chatted that Sia has apologized.

She wrote that she "anticipated" some "cries" claiming "pedophilia," but she felt Ziegler and LaBeouf were the best people for the parts. However, she added that she was sorry "to those who feel triggered" by the imagery and intense emotional content.

Entertain This! voters find the video to be more "stupid and strange" than "disturbing" or "artistic." Watch and weigh in for yourself.
