Shia LaBeouf’s childhood deserves an NC-17 rating.
In a candid new interview, the star of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen — who severely injured his hand last summer in an early morning car crash — talks about his, um, revealing upbringing, including how his hippie mother would often walk around their home naked — even when he had friends over to play.

Shia LaBeouf is in talks to take over Charlie Sheen’s role as a desperate young stockbroker in the forthcoming sequel to 1987 film Wall Street.

LaBeouf is negotiating with bosses at 20th Century Fox to join Michael Douglas, who’s been recast by director Oliver Stone for Wall Street 2, a follow-up to the Oscar-winning drama, reports Variety. Sheen starred as Bud Fox in the original, about a young broker struggling to get to the top while surrounded by greed and corruption.
The original film’s stars received mixed reviews. Douglas won an Oscar for Best Actor for his role as ruthless Wall Street player Gordon Gekko while Daryl Hannah’s performance earned her a Razzie Award for Worst Supporting Actress.

Dexterity-challenged Shia LaBeouf ended 2008 on the lousiest note possible—by having to jump start his car’s battery. LaBeouf, 22, parked his fire-engine red classic auto outside a Hollywood studio while he took a meeting on Tuesday. The actor later stepped back outside only to discover that his ride was out of juice. The departing year proved to be a trying one for the Eagle Eye heartthrob. Shia was involved in a dangerous vehicular accident in July, after which he initially faced DUI charges. [Wait!Theres Tons More…]

Backseat Cuddler – Shia LaBeouf is seriously clumsy, or just unlucky.  TMZ reports that he was injured by a prop while filming Transformers 2. The website reports that Shia “got a cut below his eyebrow that required stitches.” He got his stitches and went right back to work.  Let it never be said that he’s a slacker, although he’s probably starting to look like a walking crash test dummy.  Although I guess that’s the risk you run being an action hero.

Try not to hurt yourself anymore, Shia!

Shia LaBeouf Celebrates not Being Charged with Drunk Driving

by Mark Park September 27, 2008 Shia LaBeouf

Shia LaBeouf is celebrating after learning he won’t be charged with drunk driving following a July car accident in Hollywood that left him with a shattered hand.

Authorities arriving at the scene suspected the Transformers star had been drinking, but the Los Angeles District Attorney has declared there isn’t enough evidence to bring a case against the actor.

LaBeouf, who was arrested before undergoing hand surgery after the collision, has already avoided blame in the near-fatal accident – 21-year-old Simon Herbert was cited for running a red light and causing the crash last month.

LaBeouf’s Transformers director Michael Bay has never doubted his young star’s sobriety on the night of the crash.

At the time of the accident, Bay said, “He was not drunk. He was drinking hours and hours before… That’s (DUI rumor) gonna go away.

Another Shia Lebeouf Story….

by Mark Park September 27, 2008 Shia LaBeouf

During an early August visit to Los Angeles, a bunch of film journos accepted an invitation to preview the first third of “Eagle Eye,” the latest showcase featuring Steven Spielberg wunderkind Shia LeBeouf.

Now, even if some of us don’t understand the young actor’s appeal to the rest of the world, the thriller from director D.J. Caruso (”Disturbia”) looked legit, starting with some tense moments in a war room and shifting quickly to several relentless and separate cell-phone intrusions into the lives of seemingly shiftless young Jerry Shaw (LeBeouf) and adorable single mom Rachel Holloman (Michelle Monaghan).

I, for one, couldn’t wait to watch the rest, even trying to guess how Joan Allen, whose voice I was convinced made all those threatening and demanding directives to the two young adults in peril, figured into the nonstop action that was sure to come.

Well, as I found out in a Tuesday night screening, I was wrong – on all counts. Not only is the great Ms. Allen missing from the entire mix, but the early promise of that first 35 or so minutes quickly dissolved into techno/sci-fi absurdity and, at best, a tenuous political statement. (Actually, it’s a bit reminiscent of the much more solid “War Games.”)

Filmmakers obviously came up with a great premise they couldn’t cash in on, despite solid work from the always likable Monaghan; Billy Bob Thornton, as an FBI agent; and Rosario Dawson, as some sort of Air Force expert/operative.

LeBeouf actually has a dual role since much of the nonsensical resolution involves the death of Shaw’s twin brother. By the way, we figured that out in the first half-hour. See the rest it at your own risk.

Shia LaBeouf Says Car Crash “Eye Opening, Terrifying”

by Mark Park September 17, 2008 Shia LaBeouf

Shia LaBeouf is speaking out about his July car crash, which he calls “eye opening and terrifying.

“The car hit me at 70 mph,” the 22-year-old told Entertainment Tonight over the weekend while promoting his new flick, Eagle Eye.

“It was one of the biggest things that’s happened to me, for sure, in my life,” he added. “I’m grateful to be here.”

LaBeouf was partying at West Hollywood’s Troubadour Club before the July 27 crash that flipped his truck. After the accident, he was booked on suspicion of DUI (police later said the other driver was at fault for running a red light).

LaBeouf underwent extensive hand surgery to repair two of his fingers, which were “pretty mashed,” in the accident, Transformers director Michael Bay later said. (His injury has been written into the movie’s sequel.)

He recently told Access Hollyood he will have more surgery “to be back to 100 percent.”

He said he was thankful his accident injured only his hand.

Said LaBeouf, “It could have been something else.”

UPDATE: The Girl in the Car in the Shia LeBeouf Crash

by Mark Park July 29, 2008 Shia LaBeouf

Isabel Lucas may have earned herself a slave for life on the Transformers 2 set.

Sources tell E! News that it was Shia LaBeouf’s Australian costar who was riding in the actor’s truck when he had his early morning DUI crash on Sunday.

Authorities said yesterday that neither LaBeouf’s then-unidentified female passenger nor the driver of the car he hit was seriously hurt. All three involved were taken to the hospital, where the women were treated for minor injuries and later released.

Lucas, 23, who lately has been spotted on the arm of Entourage star Adrian Grenier, was already back on the set of the Michael Bay-directed Transformers 2 today, a rep for Paramount Pictures told E! News.

A rep for Lucas couldn’t immediately be reached for comment.

LaBeouf, 22, underwent surgery Sunday morning at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center for extensive injuries to his left hand. He’s expected to be out of commission for about a month, after which he’ll continue shooting, according to his rep.

The Disturbia star, who police determined to be intoxicated at the scene, was also arrested and booked at the hospital for driving under the influence—a misdemeanor—and given an August court date.

A production source said that LaBeouf’s looming absence from the Transformers 2 set will not be a problem—there’s plenty of stuff to shoot that doesn’t involve either LaBeouf or living, breathing humans in general—and that it shouldn’t effect the film’s slated June 26, 2009, release date.

“He’s 22, he could bounce back in no time,” the source added.

Shayna LaBeouf, the actor’s mom, told E! News Monday that her son was “doing fine” and thanked the public for its outpouring of concern for his welfare.

Exclusive Video – SHIA LaBEOUF’S Car Overturned After Car Accident in Hollywood at 3am.

by Mark Park July 28, 2008 Shia LaBeouf

The LAPD confirms to “The Insider” that the first call about Shia LaBeouf’s car accident was a 911 call placed from a cell phone.

LaBeouf, 22, was arrested early today on suspicion of drunk driving following a car accident in Hollywood that injured the actor and two others, according to a Los Angeles County Sheriff’s spokesman.

LaBeouf and a female passenger in his vehicle were injured in the crash, as was a woman driving the other car, the Sheriff’s spokesman said. The driver of the other car was able to drive away from the scene on her own.

The actor was arrested for alleged DUI and released to the hospital and underwent surgery on his hand, the Sheriff’s spokesman said. His female passenger was treated for minor injuries.

A rep for LaBeouf had no comment on the incident.

BLOW BY BLOW ACCOUNT: ‘Indiana Jones’ star Shia LaBeouf injured, arrested for drunk driving after wreck; Facing Jail Time

by Mark Park July 28, 2008 Shia LaBeouf

LOS ANGELES – Shia LaBeouf was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving Sunday after an early morning wreck in which the “Indiana Jones” star injured his hand and knee, authorities said.

LaBeouf was trying to make a left turn at a West Hollywood intersection around 3 a.m. when his pickup collided with another vehicle, rolling the truck over, Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Sgt. Scott Wolf said.

“It was immediately apparent to officers responding on the scene that LaBeouf was intoxicated and he was subsequently placed under arrest,” Wolf said.

Wolf said LaBeouf was booked then released for misdemeanor DUI. The 22-year-old actor was taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and was being treated for injuries to his left hand and a knee, as well as a minor head injury, Wolf said.

A woman passenger in LaBeouf’s truck and the driver of the other vehicle were not seriously injured. Wolf did not know the identities of the woman or the other driver.

The cause of the crash remained under investigation, Wolf said. Two attorneys listed for LaBeouf did not immediately return calls from The Associated Press on Sunday; neither did two publicists for the actor.

The accident occurred when LaBeouf, who was headed northbound on La Brea Avenue, tried to turn onto Fountain Avenue, Wolf said. The intersection is the location of “High Voltage,” the tattoo parlor where the reality show “LA Ink” is filmed.

LaBeouf starred in last year’s summer smash hit “Transformers,” and this year appears opposite Harrison Ford in “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.”

LaBeouf has had previous brushes with the law, but until now they had been relatively harmless — to the degree that they only served to reinforce his image as a Hollywood good guy with an edge.

A drunken confrontation with guards at a Walgreens pharmacy in Chicago late last year led to misdemeanor criminal trespassing charges. Arresting police in that incident noted that LaBeouf was “very courteous and polite,” and the charge was dropped because the drug store did not want to pursue the matter.

In a lighthearted retelling of the incident to David Letterman on the “Late Show,” LaBeouf said: “Drinking and driving is one thing, but drinking and shopping … it’s just as bad.”

LaBeouf was separately cited in February for smoking where he shouldn’t in Burbank, but a judge later dismissed the charge.
