OlderShia LaBeouf Arrested For DUI
Shia LaBeouf has been arrested for suspicion of a DUI misdemeanor.
TMZ reports the 22-year-old Transformers actor was arrested around 3 a.m. Sunday morning in Hollywood for allegedly driving drunk. Shia made a left turn in front of another car causing the two cars to collide.
Labeouf is currently undergoing surgery for a badly injured left hand.
While being interviewed on The Late Show with David Letterman in May, Shia joked, “Drinking and driving is one thing, but drinking and shopping … it’s just as bad.” What kind of jokes will Shia tell about drinking now?
Also back in November, a “pretty wasted” (those were his own words) Shia was arrested after refusing to leave a Walgreens in Chicago around four in the morning.
SHAME ON SHIA!

Jessica, that’s because he sucks =)
Well he’s real stupid, he has a great career and now he’s ruining it. I’m not surprised though, he been in trouble before.
he’s a great actor but: stop drinking and driving, shia..
Hope his hand wasn’t that bad
damn you shia
what are DUI’s the new thing?
******* pathetic, Shia.
i wish he’d stop doing stupid ****! he’s going to ruin his career
3rd
someone needs to watch this kid before he spirals out of control, he has so much potential
idiot
tut tut…
uhhh poor shia :S
i totally saw this coming. LOL it’s gonna happen again and again. this time is DUI and next time if it’s not DUI, it’d be something else. He is awesome cause he always always makes sure himself getting into all kind of troubles.
awwwww that’s such a shame :,[
He is so talented, he needs to cut the crap and pull it together before he ruins his career.
What do you mean “poor Shia”? He made the choice to drink and drive, and could have killed someone. Because of him, three innocent people were injured. Poor Shia my a**.
What an idiot. I hope that they throw the book at him.
Oh come on Shia, you’re so much better than this. Don’t become another hollywood cliche!
wtf
my friends mom was killed by a drunk driver. her 10 year old sister was in a coma for 3 months and she and her brother were injured.
her sister didnt even know her mother died. she couldnt go to the funeral…..
DONT DRINK AND DRIVE. PLEASE.
HE IS TOTALY OVERVALUED
Lol, I still remember his “Even Stevens” days. But I must say, he’s grown into a very attractive guy.
DAMMIT SHIA!
when is he ever going to learn he’s becoming a good actor thier is no nedd for all his follishness!
I think that he needs help…I really like him and think he is a good actor…but they need to do more than just throw the book at him….or else it will happen again…they need to deal with the root of the problem…I hope those people get better and I hope he finds help…
clearly, these hollywood kids have some pretty serious demons…they can afford to be driven around when drinking, and choose to drive drunk. They all seem to think they’re invincible, how stupid. Isn’t Lohan, N. richie, P. Hilton (ADD brother) and the long list of shitt heads a wake up call?????? One of these dip shitts are gonna kill someone
YIKES. I WISH HE WOULDN’T DO THIS.
shia is pathetic. first the walgreens incident, the ****** video, the smithsonian smoking, and now a dui. we have a male lindsay lohan in the making. celebrities like this make me lose respect for hollywood all together and all their work.
I wonder why these people don’t know these 2 simple magical words: TAXI or CHAUFFEUR????
The real tragedy is that he’s not dead because of it.
THEY need to throw the book at him. It’s HIS responsibility to get to the root of the problem. Which he should have done after the ‘Walgreen’s’ incident. If he didn’t care enough to get help, that’s his own fault, not society’s.
He belongs in jail.
It is sad to see truly talented actors wasting there time doing stupid stuff like this. I am sorry but why do celebrities do such dumb@** things like this.
He comes from a family of stoners. Not that I am judging but he’s the same age as me and guys and girls like to get high, but the stupid thing is he probably has some really dumb friends that he surrounds himself with. He doesn’t seem like the kind of kid that grew up with any boundaries if any of you have read interviews and articles with him, you get what I’m saying.
ridiculous guy!
I don’t like him..he’s sooo snob person
i like shia, but this guy has a world of ’stupid’ in him.
why?? hes hot and rich and talented.. why?
moron
I’m confined everyone in Hollywood is a drunk. The irony is they are only killing themselves (we hope) and leaving an empty space to be filled by more level-headed people with more talent.
I’M SO PISSED AT HIM! why the eff would he do that??? I’m really angry with him right now… gosh… and he always says that stuff won’t happen to him because he stays around his close friends and blah blah… get ur act together boy! I LOVE him, but dont’ be such a dumbass, Shia!
#30 - I never had any respect for Hollywood - it is the most shallow and overrated place, entirely based on “image” and “looks” to the exclusion of any intellectual, creative or spiritual merit. It the terrorists destroyed it, nothing would be lost in terms of value to society. Wish it had been LA rather than the World Trade Center.
It’s bad to see celebrities that can joke around about something so serious. Sets a bad example for the younger fans that look up to them.

DAMN SHIA !!!!!! NO DIDN’T HE NEED TO GET HIS SH*T TOGETHER. I THOUGH HE WAS IN AA ANYWAYS ??!?!!??!???
HE GONNA LET THAT WH*RE LINDSAY LOHAN BEAT HIM TO BEING CLEAN
Overrated douche
STUPID
NOOOOOOOOOO SHIA IS SO HOT.
HES AN AMAZINGLY TALENTED ACTOR AND HES RUINING IT!
HE CANT DO THIS I LOVE HIM!
awww Shia please don’t be like “them”
you’re much better than that!!
he’s such a talented guy
I ‘m so disappointed in him.
This ticks me off. This guy has real talent and a lot going for him. He’s got Stephen Spielberg no less in his corner. And he goes and does something like this. WTF?
He really needs to pull his head out from the place in which the sun does not shine and get his act together. And he needs to do it fast.
Too much money, too soon. They are so young and have sooooo much money, they think they are above the law. At 22, to have all that money and fame, on top of having addiction issues is a recipe for disaster! He is really talented…hope he gets help. we heart u Shia!!!!
I remember an interview he did with GQ where he said he was nothing like young hollywood stars like Brit and Lindsay. People in glass houses….
It boggles my mind how much money can blurr ones vision? I’m 21 and never have gotten behind the wheel while or drinking for that matter. its crazy i remember a time where i knew shia could be counted on as being a steady role model. looks like that just hit the fan. But whats interesting to me is that im a HUGE fan of his.. wont stop me from liking him just puts his character into jeopardy. but it will take some hard learning. next time he’ll **** up majorly and then will see whose behind him.
Shame on him, indeed! This is really sad news..always thought he had more sense than this. :(
It’s too bad he’s wasting his talent and career -he had a great honor in being chosen to work on Indy 4 with Spielberg and Ford- and almost promised the keys to the franchise down the road it seems, but he is throwing it away with this behavior! I do fear he may end up another casualty of Hollywood.
oh no, he’s sucked into the whole hollywood scene now.
Shia is becoming his own worse nightmare. And he thinks it is funny. He is pathetic. And dangerous. He thinks he is someone, and he is no-one. He needs to be brought down, and maybe a lack of jobs, is the way to go. If he were anyone else, he would not have a job. A normal person would be fired. Wake up Shia and get help.
Please these people are not from Hollywood. They are from the hinterlands and back alleys of America. Don’t blame Hollywood. These people would be the same if they hadn’t left home.Shia is talented but obviously has some serious problems that need to be fixed ASAP!
I’m with everyone else. Sooo disapointed in Shia! Also disapointed with the chick he was with that let him drive drunk or high! Someone needs to slap some sense into him. Ugh, hopefully he will clean his act up, if not I’m done with liking him
the other issues he’s been arrested/cited for have been BS, but drinking and driving is another story. i’m all for going out and drinking, but i NEVER drive after i’ve been drinking…i always get a DD or take a taxi…theres no excuses for celebs to be out driving and drinking - w/all their connections and status they can easily find someone to be their b*tch and drive them around all night, or hire a driver….but what do celebs care if they get a DUI? they get a few hours in a private holding cell..the fines have no effect on their wallets, and their jobs or social lives don’t suffer b/c they just end up getting ppl to drive them around..OR They drive anyways and get away with it…

DUI is bad!
dui’s are just part of being famous, nothing happens to these people. Few hours of community service, maybe a fine. No problem, kill someone while drunk, ah well they’re get off of that too. it’s okay celebs, drink up and drive, you’ll be ok.
shia wut has gotten into you these days….teens and tweens look up to you! you’re an amazing actor…give up the drinking, drugs, smoking, or what other bad stuff you are doing!!! you’re different than britany, lindsey, miley, and brad pitt i know you are…Shia you are an amazing guy! don’t be a follower be a leader….you will get WAY more respect that way….i forgive but you have to change!! two times is enough!
lots of luv
XOXO
Oh no, not him too! Drinking and drivind is one of the dumbest things a person can do…
There goes the filming of Transformers 2! No doubt his hand will cause the whole thing to be delayed!
Shia, please! Pull yourselt together man! You don’t need all of this drama. Unlike the rest of the Hollywood brats, YOU, actually have talent!
i hate this guy. I used to like him back in the day. Now I see he’s just a bad actor and a total loser.
Oh for crying out loud -yes a DUI is bad…but to me all I see is a 22 year old kid going through the normal growing pangs of 22 year old males everywhere.
Just thank god he didn’t truly hurt anyone but himself and stop being overly dramatic about it.
One DUI is not going to cost this guy his career….

Wow, a 22 year old kid with millions of dollars and living in Hollywood… who could have seen this coming?

God, shut up you hypocritical *****. He’s a normal guy who does normal things.
The studios have a major investment in this guy. With what he did, he’s delayed filming on Transformers and possibly other projects. My take is they’ll probably FORCE him to go to rehab to make sure he doesn’t eff up again, and then he’ll be subjected to regular drug and alcohol tests for insurance purposes.
Who does he think he is…just b/c he is famous doesn’t mean he can do whatever he want’s…he needs to cut is out…
Kay :]
haha me and my cuz r so disapointed no more movies where he is sweaty darn i was looking forward to a shirtless part
IT SAYS SUSPICION YOU IDIOTS WHO THINK IT’S HIS FAULT, THEY’RE STILL INVESTIGATING SO SHUT UP! BESIDES, IT’S NOT LIKE YOU GUYS WHO CAN DRIVE ACTUALLY HAVEN’T DRIVEN DRUNK AND I’M SURE YOU GUYS DIDN’T EVEN GET CAUGHT. i can’t even drive yet and i don’t drink, but it’s still not right for you guys to judge him, atleast he’s not like lindsay, paris, and brittany who continue ******** themselves! he just made a mistake, he needs help. i hope he straightens up his act, but still there is no reason to curse him!
i was afraid this was gonna happen. he seemed headed for it.
what happened to taking your career seriously and avoiding the messy side of hollywood, shia? this is what you said before you made it big.
this is what fame does to you. disappointing. tsk, tsk.
This guy is going straight to rehab after surgery. Take note that his rep says that he’ll be back on the Transformers 2 set after a month. So that time will probably be spent recuperating on his injury and rehab.
His handlers will make sure that he does it because there’s too much at stake in terms of his career and the production schedule on his movies being affected, and Shia knows it. Whether he’ll change or not after his stint in rehab is another matter, but his handlers need to show everyone that Shia’s trying to do something about his problem.
They’ll probably use the “Shia’s getting real help” excuse with the judge so that he won’t end up spending time in jail.
You are all hypocrites. People make mistakes. It’s part of life and I guarantee everyone here ragging on Shia has made atleast one. Give the kid a break, he’s under a lot of pressure. He’s a young male trying to grow up in the spotlight of the media. Normal young males not growing up in the spotlight make the same kind of mistakes all the time. I hope he learns from this and doesn’t make the same mistake again. That’s all anyone can hope. He is a very talented young man and has a bright future ahead of him if he doesn’t succumb to the intense pressure and scrutiny of fame and everyones expectations. Get well soon Shia :)
If anyone is the hypocrite, it’s Shia. He kept on mentioning in interviews how he wouldn’t end up like Lindsay and the others because he wouldn’t throw what he had away. He also said he wanted to be known for his work and he didn’t want his private life overshadowing his work, which is what happened to others who got in trouble with the law.
He’s hardly like Lohan.
BTW Get a real life ppl ;)
Actually there are a lot of similarities between Lindsay and Shia. Both come from families that have major drug and alcohol issues. Both turned to acting at an early age to help support their families. Both started off as child stars and in their late teens were given the responsibility of being the lead actors in their movies. Maybe he’s not a publicity wh_r like Lindsay but their families are both scrwed up. Let’s hope Shia learns from what happened to Lindsay and to himself and gets his life in order.
ENOUGH LABEOUF
ENOUGH LABEOUF!!
oh, no shia
you’r such a great actor,don’t ruin your life
we love u
tut tut shia
An open letter to Shia LaBeouf
Dear Mr. LaBeouf:
Let me tell you a story.
Once upon a time, there was a young, talented actress named Lindsay. Though she wasn’t the prettiest girl in Hollywood, she was instantly likable, and had a palpable screen presence. Disney discovered her, and put her in a string of movies that would win her a legion of young admirers.
As she blossomed into an attractive young adult, an older, wiser person in the business would take her under her wing, giving her a plum role in a surprise hit. This would lead to bigger (if not better) roles, and a level of stardom that no one — not even Lindsay herself — could have predicted.
Does this sound familiar, Mr. LaBeouf? Though your Disney project, “Even Stevens,” wasn’t quite “Freaky Friday” or “The Parent Trap,” you certainly hit the jackpot when it came to finding a mentor. (Don’t get me wrong — Tina Fey is no slouch, but she’s got nothing on Steven Spielberg.)
But it’s at this point of the story where things started to go south for Miss Lohan. Today, no one thinks of her as the hilarious sexpot from “Mean Girls.” They think of her as a drug user with two DUIs, a stint in rehab, one day in jail and a slew of box office bombs, each one more embarrassing than the last. Along with Amy Winehouse, Lindsay is the best (worst?) example of wasted talent in today’s Hollywood.
And now I am left to wonder if you are on the same track.
Hey, I like to go nuts at a bar and do some shots from time to time, but I don’t follow that with a joyride in my SUV that ends with it upside-down. (And I’ve certainly never been arrested at a Walgreens.)
What the heck are you doing? This is not behavior fitting of someone who is often called “the next Tom Hanks.” In 2007, you elevated a derivative potboiler into a darkly funny smash with “Disturbia,” and your affable presence did the remarkable by making “Transformers” watchable. This year, you did the truly impossible when you stole an “Indiana Jones” movie from Indiana-freaking-Jones. The trailer for September’s “Eagle Eye” — another Spielberg production — shows promise, and next year you’ll be starring in the surefire biggest movie of the year, “Transformers 2.”
There is no limit to what your future can hold, Mr. LaBeouf. Harrison Ford all but passed you the torch in “Kingdom of the Crystal Skull,” and once you grow out of your action-movie phase you’ll be getting meatier roles in more prestigious pictures. You are on track to be one of the great movie stars.
So don’t screw it up, kid.
Hire a driver. Watch the whiskey. Don’t bring a video camera into the bedroom. Stay away from the white stuff. And please, please don’t go anywhere near Paris Hilton.
Sincerely,
A big fan
i love you shia…

Shia Labeouf’s Hand Crushed
———————————————————————————————–
There are new details about the extent of Shia LaBeouf’s hand injury—and they’re not pretty.
LaBeouf’s left hand was “crushed” in last weekend’s rollover car crash, and the young star will require “regular medical supervision until his doctors clear him to return to work,” LaBeouf attorney Michael Norris said in a statement Friday.
There was no new timetable for LaBeouf’s return to work on Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, the big-budget sequel the actor had been shooting. Earlier, pre-”crushed” reports said LaBeouf would be out a month.
A rep for Paramount Pictures, the studio behind the Transformers franchise, told E! News today that “no final decisions have been made” as to whether LaBeouf’s injury will be written into the new movie. The studio is prepared to modify its schedule for LaBeouf as needed, the rep said.
Elsewhere, LaBeouf’s publicist Melissa Kates declined comment on an Entertainment Tonight report that the 22-year-old had been released from Los Angeles’ Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.
LaBeouf’s sick-bay journey began last Sunday when, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, the pickup truck he was driving collided with a motorist running a red light.
“The other driver may have been traveling upwards of 50 mile per hour, and that driver may not have been looking forward at the time of the accident,” Norris said.
The other driver and LaBeouf’s passenger, Transformers costar Isabel Lucas, sustained minor injuries.
In the days following the crash, authorities went out of their way to note LaBeouf was not at fault. In his statement, Norris thanked “the many concerned citizens who have stepped forward to provide information regarding this collision.”
LaBeouf still faces a misdemeanor DUI charge as officers responding to the crash found the injured actor was, the sheriff’s department said, “exhibiting obvious signs of intoxication.”
The recuperating LaBeouf, late of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, has yet to be arraigned on the charge.
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, the sequel to 2007’s Transformers, has been set for a June 2009 release.
