Rejoice! Shia's Pinkie Spared!

Posted by Seth at 4:30 AM on August 8, 2008

We have wonderful news regarding Shia's pinkie! (Say those last two words three times fast. It's fun.) Contrary to Star magazine's distressing report, which described a tiny, ax-wielding medieval executioner stationed over the star's left hand just waiting for the word, it turns out he'll be able to keep all ten of his fingers after all. The LAT e-mailed Shia's rep Melissa Kates for confirmation.

To Avoid Stale Olsen Twin Jokes, Artie Lange Checks Into Rehab

Posted by Defamer Hollywood at 10:20 AM on August 7, 2008

After winding his way through a media-sponsored meltdown that saw him terrorize Conan O'Brien, endure torture on Donnie Deutsch, and ultimately resign from the Howard Stern show, comedian Artie Lange pulled out of the Bob Saget roast this past weekend to check himself into rehab. Says Page Six:

First Shia LaBeouf broke his hand, now George Lucas breaks his heart: Speaking exclusively to MTV News, Lucas elaborated on the promised Indiana Jones 5, assuring disgruntled Indy fans that the sequel wouldn't centre on LaBeouf's character, Mutt. "Indiana Jones is Indiana Jones. Harrison Ford IS Indiana Jones. If it was Mutt Williams it would be 'Mutt Williams and the Search for Elvis' or something." Lucas then paused, later calling David Koepp to pitch him an ending where Graceland rises spinning from the ground, blasting into outer space to return Mutt to his home planet. [MTV Movies Blog]

Michael Bay To Incorporate Shia LaBeouf's Injuries Into Newly Retitled 'Transformers 2: Rise Of The Finger-Splinticons'

Posted by Seth at 2:33 AM on August 2, 2008

First came news from the Sheriff's Department that Shia LeBeouf was not the one responsible for his spectacular accident in Hollywood early Sunday morning. But surely he was not to be forgiven—pitied, maybe, as he underwent emergency hand surgery to restore his Echo Parque gang-sign-delivery capabilities—but not forgiven, for the police stated the actor "exhibiting obvious signs of intoxication." Not so, says his Transformers: Rise of the Fallen Machines director Michael Bay, who's convinced of Shia's innocence, and tells Access Hollywood he'll be writing his injuries into the plot:

Shia LaBeouf Concerned The Business Is Losing Its Drunk-Driving -Actor Magic

Posted by Seth at 2:18 AM on August 1, 2008

Shia LeBeouf continues to recover from hand surgery after some spectacular Bayian stuntwork at the corners of LaBrea and Fountain early Sunday morning, resulting in an overturned pick-up truck, plus a massive fireball after the frazzled actor exhaled a gust of 80-proof breath while trying to light a cigarette. We've already explored his conveniently timed Details interview, in which he spoke freely of hard-partying father-son bonding moments, and his inability "to have one drink." ET has video (above) of the interview, in which he charms a giggly off-camera reporter with flippant observations about his renegade drugstore exploits ("Walgreens is a formidable foe, let me tell you guys right now. It was the battlegrounds of my life. The coliseum where all the rumbles happen."). He also openly longs for a time when "actors were magical. Now that paparazzis are rampant the business is losing the magic a little bit. You always feel like people know too much."

DUI Expert Khloe Kardashian Butts In To Offer Unsolicited Advice to Shia LaBeouf

Posted by Defamer Hollywood at 6:10 AM on July 31, 2008

For anyone who had a sneaking suspicion that yesterday's earthquake was just the beginning of the end, we offer you more proof: marginally recognisable drunk driver Khloe Kardashian has taken it upon herself to give advice to accident-plagued Shia LaBeouf ... and she suggests exactly what countless Defamer commenters have already recommended (namely, why don't these rich kids have drivers already)? Says Us Magazine:

Breaking! It now emerges that Shia LaBeouf may not have been completely at fault for his DUI accident: "L.A. County Sheriff's Department spokesman Steve Whitmore said the investigation suggests that another driver may have run a red light, hitting LaBeouf's truck. That driver was cited at the scene for running a red light." Do you suddenly find yourselves confused about how to feel? If a drunk driver gets hit by a red-light-runner at Fountain and LaBrea, flipping over his three-ton truck in the process and necessitating hand surgery, does it make a sound? We'll let you ponder these imponderables as we attend to a specially designated Ethical Dilemma Boston Cream Donut. Mmm...morally ambiguous cussstarrrrrd. [LAT]

Shia LaBeouf Wishes He Could Limit Himself To Just One Barrel- Sized Cocktail Per Evening

Posted by Seth at 3:20 AM on July 30, 2008

It's been two days since Shia LaBeouf's early-morning DUI accident, in which the well-liquored star of the latest Indy Jones installment was sent hurtling through the air in his three-ton, American-built pickup truck (360 views, specs, and colour options available here) at the corners of Fountain and LaBrea. As it turned out, the only thing his heavy-duty ride had picked up that evening was his Transformers sequel co-star, Australian actress Isabel Lucas. While her reportedly miffed boyfriend Adrian Grenier was unforthcoming with status updates, we have it on good authority from the fine people at TransWorld News press release syndicate that her rep "can't confirm anything...but I have been informed she is at work, on the set of Transformers and is fine." Phew! We can't confirm anything, either, but we're informed we're extremely relieved for the young actress.

Free Spirited Isabel Was In Shia "One For The Road" LaBeouf's Crashed Car!

Australian Post Posted by Clem Bastow at 1:07 PM on July 29, 2008

Isabel Lucas.jpgThis just in - apparently our free-spirited whale saving heroine Isabel Lucas was the passenger in the car that Transformers and Indiana Jones star Shia LaBeouf crashed while driving under the influence! And she's going out with Adrian Grenier! Who is pissed off! How many more exclamation marks can we use!!!

Umm-ahhh!

LaBeouf's 23-year-old Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen co-star was reportedly sat next to him when he made a left turn on a red light and crashed his Ford F150 around 2.45am (local time) on Sunday in Los Angeles.

[...]

When the New York Daily News contacted Lucas's Entourage boyfriend Adrian Grenier, who she began dating in February, he was reportedly "none too happy that his ladyfriend was partying with her handsome co-star at 3am".

The New York Daily News said: "Grenier was testy when we asked him how Lucas was feeling post-crash, and refused to comment."

Jeez, Shia - you were cute and funny in Transformers (and also hilarious in Freaks & Geeks when you were a wee bairn), but this is testing our allegiance to you. Hands (and cars) off our hippy princess!

A Late-Afternoon LaBeouf-In-Crisis Round-Up

Posted by Seth at 10:30 AM on July 29, 2008

As a world on edge waits to hear whether Mutt Williams will ever wield a whip again (we're hearing some encouraging news that his pinkie is out of critical care!), we bring you all the latest in the Shia LaBeouf could-have-been-much-worse DUI nightmare:
· Sgt. Tressa Gunnels is amazed the injuries weren't more severe. Also: She's bad arse. [KCAL]
· The rap sheet! [ET]
· Shia was at The Troubadour at a Lemon Sun and Rumspringa show before the accident: "[He was] dancing around and acting really crazy...He kept doing shots of whiskey...He stayed until the band was done and then stumbled out of the club by himself." The female passenger in the overturned car was his Australian Transformers 2 co-star Isabel Lucas, pictured here moments after boyfriend Adrian Grenier's generous offer to polka-dot the stripes out of her.
