In July of last year, Shia LaBeouf got a DUI after he "pounded shots" at the Troubadour in LA then flipped his Ford F-150 in the middle of an intersection. Apparently your license gets taken away when you do stuff like that. Who knew?! Access Hollywood reports:

The suspension, which took effect January 17, 2009, is the result of LaBeouf’s "refusal of chemical tests" in the wake of his accident, according to the Department of Motor Vehicles. The suspension will last a minimum of one year. In September, the Los Angeles County District Attorney's office announced there was "insufficient evidence" to charge the "Transformers" with drunken driving for his involvement in the accident, which left his hand badly injured. The actor was arrested for suspicion of DUI following the crash after showing "physical signs" of being impaired, LA Sheriff's Department spokesperson Steve Whitmore previously said. However, at the time, the DA’s office did note LaBeouf's refusal to take a breathalyzer test could result in a suspension of his license. Sheriff’s deputies said later that LaBeouf was not at fault in the accident.

The LA County Sheriff's department did everything they could not to charge LaBeouf, because in case you forgot, big Hollywood stars are above the law in LA. So, instead of being glad that a law forced them to take this idiot's license away, I'm pretty sure LA County is trying to get this law changed. You know, to something more suitable for an actor after he plows through an intersection because he can't hold his Limoncellos. Maybe something like community service at a sorority or thirty minutes on a seesaw. Weeeee!!!

I was going to post pictures of Shia LaBeouf, then I realized I was looking for pictures of Shia LaBeouf. So here's Megan Fox feeling herself on the set of Transformers 2. I hope you're cool with that:

On July 27, Shia LaBeouf was seen by witnesses at the LA bar, Troubadour, "pounding shots and acting really crazy" immediately before he got into a collision and flipped his F-150 in the middle of a city street. When police arrived on the scene, LaBeouf refused to submit to a blood alcohol test, but since he was visibly drunk off his ass, the responding officers placed him under arrest for DUI. Man, I wonder what the Los Angeles D.A.'s office is going do with all that evidence? Ooohh, the suspense!! TMZ reports:

The L.A. County D.A. just rejected the case on grounds of insufficient evidence. He is not off scot-free. Shia will almost certainly have his license suspended because he refused to submit to a blood alcohol test. Steve Whitmore from the L.A. County Sheriff's Dept tells us Shia's DMV hearing is tomorrow."

Wow, did you hear that?! He isn't getting off scot-free! Oh, no sir. No way. Because if you're a celebrity in L.A., justice is swift and unmerciful. They'll slightly inconvenience you if you dare to break the law. I really hope Shia learns a valuable lesson from not being able to drive. Lessons like if the hooker dies in the back of the limousine because she can't handle her blow, coyotes respond much faster than paramedics. Why wait?

On July 27th, Shia LaBeouf pounded shots at L.A.'s Troubadour then hopped into his F-150. Soon after, his F-150 had flipped twice and landed upside down, and Shia had a severely fucked up hand. A hand that now might require amputation of one of his fingers. Star Magazine reports:

The young star, now working on Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is likely to lose the pinky on his left hand, a source on the movie set says. "Shia called producers yesterday and told them," the source on the set in Alamogordo, N.M. says. "It's really thrown the movie into turmoil."

LaBeouf's publicist immediately claimed this was false, but publicists get paid to lie, so we'll see. What is his publicists afraid of? Are they inferring that amputation is a bad thing? I surely hope not, because it's been clinically proven to be the fastest way to lose weight. Do you want to lose weight, feel more energetic, look better in clothes and be more self-confident? Are you tired of fad diets that don't work? Amputation can work for you!

Shia LaBeouf flipped his truck on a city street because he was drunk, but he lives in L.A., so the police gave him a massage and a pedicure at the scene, but exactly how drunk was he? Um, very. Page Six says:

Moments before he got in a crash Saturday night that ended with him being charged with DUI, "Transformers" star Shia LaBeouf was "pounding shots and acting really crazy" at LA bar Troubadour, spies said. "He was pounding drinks and shots while listening to the band Lemon Sun before he took off," said one....LaBeouf apparently picked up his partying ways from his father. He tells this month's Details he used to drink and smoke with his dad, a former heroin junkie who now lives in LaBeouf's garage. "We would drink together and smoke together, and it's just a bad deal. It's not something that is conducive to being a role model...And I don't know how to do it like a gentleman. I don't know how to have one drink."

You know, if he's expecting me to feel bad when he becomes the Grim Reaper in a Ford F-150 when he drinks because daddy didn't hug him enough, I'll just go ahead and apologize in advance. Sorry, asshole. I'm sorry I have to drive a tank or become a mortally wounded police officer who returns to the streets as a super-human cyborg just so I can make it to Target without getting killed by your dumb ass.


LaBeouf on the set of Transformers 2:

Shia LaBeouf was arrested and charged with a DUI after he was involved in a collision in Hollywood this weekend. An actor? Drunk? Driving? Surely this must be some kind of sick joke. People reports:

It was immediately apparent to officers responding on the scene that LaBeouf was intoxicated and he was subsequently placed under arrest," Wolf said. The actor was booked for a misdemeanor DUI and released. He was being treated at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center for injuries he sustained to his head, left hand and knee. The passenger riding with LaBeouf and the driver of the other car involved in the crash weren't seriously hurt."

According to an eyewitness, LaBeouf's truck flipped and landed upside down. Score! TMZ reports:

A witness tells us he heard a loud crash around 245 AM, then the sound of Shia's truck rolling over. The witness said he heard what he thought was a girl screaming "F**k," among other things. When he got down to scene, Shia was already out of the car and the female riding with him was crawling out of the drivers side of the truck. The truck was smoking, making noise and still running. The driver of the other car was also out of the car by this time. Shia and the female stood over by a wall while people were checking to see if everyone was okay. The witness said unlike most of the wrecks he's seen in the dangerous intersection, no one was cursing or yelling at each other. It took the cops 4-5 minutes to arrive at the scene. Two ambulances -- along with one fire truck -- showed up, and all parties involved walked to an ambulance unassisted. There were no breathalyzers or tests done at the scene."

I wish I could see all the death certificates in Los Angeles and see how many of them list the cause of death as "Drunk actor". I can't seem to shake the feeling that's it's a lot.

LaBeouf is in Transformers 2. So is Megan Fox. Megan Fox is hotter:

Shia LaBeouf says he is "embarrassed" by a video that surfaced online yesterday which showed the visibly drunk actor in a slapping contest where he calls an unidentified male a "faggot." E! Online says:

The videotape that is currently being circulated is several years old and captures Shia playing a game among friends in which he uses a derogatory word toward a friend," LaBeouf's rep tells me exclusively. "He regrets having used the word in any capacity and is very embarrassed that this footage is being seen by anyone."

I have no idea why Shia LaBeouf is apologizing for begging another dude to slap him and calling him a "faggot." In my experience, I've learned that's a solid ice breaker in awkward social situations.

The first teaser trailer for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (or IJATKOTCS for short) was released today, and long-winded pretentious title aside, it looks pretty awesome. Starring Harrison Ford, Karen Allen, Shia LeBeouf, Cate Blanchett, and Ray Winstone the plot is rumored to be about the search of alien lifeforms and...blah, blah, blah, who gives a damn. It's gonna be just like the last three. Two hours of Indiana Jones kicking foreigner ass because those savages don't like putting stuff in museums. The only difference is that this one might have a few more Cialis tie-ins.

Transformers raked in $27.5 million on it's first full day of release, setting the record for the highest opening ever on a Tuesday. Yahoo says:

After earning $8.8 million from Monday night screenings across the United States and Canada, the movie pulled in $27.5 million the next day -- a sum billed by Paramount as the biggest Tuesday haul for a movie...Despite its success, "Transformers"' take falls considerably short of the one-day record of $59.8 million set by "Spider-Man 3" two months ago, on a Friday. The previous record for a Tuesday was set last month, when "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" earned $15.7 million, according to Viacom Inc.-owned Paramount."

Sure, people will say they only watch enlightening documentaries or movies about an improbable love between two quadriplegic lesbians or whatever boring crap people see to seem smart, but when it comes down to it, they want to see stuff like this. Hot girls and explosions. No matter what the emo chick at Blockbuster you're too scared ask out tells you.
