Transformers 2 Delayed Due to LaBeouf’s Arrest

Shia LaBeoufUPDATE: It looks as if Shia may not may not be blamed for the accident after all.

As mentioned on VIP Breakdown earlier today, actor Shia LaBeouf was arrested Sunday morning after a DUI-related accident in Los Angeles.

The 22-year-old was taken to Cedars-Sinai around 3 a.m. where he underwent surgery for injuries to his left hand. (He also received minor injuries to his head and knee.) A female passenger from his car and the female driver from the other vehicle were treated and released. (Video of LaBeouf’s overturned vehicle can be seen after the jump.)

In a statement, the star’s rep said Shia’s status would prevent him from immediately returning to work:

“Attorneys for Mr. LaBeouf confirm that an automobile accident involving an additional party occurred early morning in Los Angeles on July 27, 2008. Shia is currently recovering from extensive hand surgery with plans to return to work on the set of within one month. No further comment will be issued at this time.”

Kathleen Turner Talks About Nic Cage Lawsuit

Put Description HereAlthough they survived a tumultuous relationship in Peggy Sue Got Married, and may now be heading to court.  The Ghost Rider star has just filed a defamation and libel case in London’s High Court based on statements his former co-star has made.

In Turner’s new autobiography, Send Yourself Roses: Thoughts on My Life, Love, and Leading Roles, the actress alleges Cage had problems with theft and drinking during the production of their 1986 movie.  In the book, she states:

“He caused so many problems. He was arrested twice for drunk-driving and, I think, once for stealing a dog. He’d come across a chihuahua he liked and stuck it in his jacket.”


Well Cage, 44, was not too pleased by those remarks (as proven by the suit) and has gone on the record denying her claims.  (I would think a quick background check would quickly settle this matter.  In fact, didn’t her book have a fact checker?)

Lindsay Lohan’s Release from Rehab

Lindsay LohanAfter some well-publicized hijinks, has left Cirque Lodge Treatment Center in Utah for her rehabilitation.

Following a reconciliation which occurred during Lindsay’s stay, her father Michael Lohan helped her pack her bags for her release. Lindsay is going back to LA to begin shooting on a new movie, Dare to Love Me. She’ll also continue receiving outpatient treatment from a Cirque-affiliated facility in the city. Her father Michael says Lindsay is approaching sobriety with more confidence this time.

She also participated in a work-treatment program, stocking shelves at a supermarket. Lindsay’s earnings all went to charity.

24 Hours For Lindsay Lohan

LindsayAs reported earlier, lucked out when prosecutors decided not to pursue felony charges against the actress.  We now know that Lohan, 21, will likely face around 24 hours in jail after reaching a plea deal.  Although the two DUI counts were dropped, she did plead guilty to being under the influence of cocaine.  She also plead no contest to the reckless driving and driving with a BAC of .08 or higher charge.

Officials took into account her previous stay in jail and are allowing her to do community service in lieu of more time.  Lindsay will need to serve her sentence by the end of this year.


No Felony Charges for Lindsay Lohan

Lindsay LohanOriginally faced with a possibly lengthy stay in prison, Miss now may see a -esque jail term for her run-ins with the law.  Prosecutors with the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office have decided not to file felony charges against the actress due to the ‘insufficient’ amount of cocaine that was in her possession.  (I’ve never really understood what that term really meant).

This does not mean that Lohan gets off easily though.  She still faces seven misdemeanor counts including charges for reckless driving, DUI and being under the influence of cocaine (See!  That’s why there was an ‘insufficient’ amount!  She snorted it all!).  Conviction on these counts could get Lindsay a several day stay in the joint.  In the end, that’s probably a great deal for her.  Given her reputation for hospital stays due to ‘exhaustion’ (another term I can’t understand), this should give her ample opportunity to rest up.  And let’s not forget all the money she’d save staying in a facility funded by tax payers…

Box Office Breakdown:  A Homerun For Homer

The Simpsons

Looks like Homer ain’t gonna be needing a deal on donuts anymore….

With a $74 million opening weekend, The Simpsons Movie debuted higher than most of the animated features released…ever.  Only the two Shrek sequels did better.  Quite a head-shaking number since we can still see the series for free on television.  But viewers from every single Springfield in the US—plus a thousand other cities out there—love the family so much, they were willing to pay for more.  Especially when it comes with nudity.

What theatergoers aren’t willing to pay for is more I Know Who Killed Me placed a dismal 9th, possibly due to lack of promotional work by the star.  How ironic that in the end it was Lindsay who was responsible for killing the movie and possibly her career.

More On Lindsay Lohan’s Latest Arrest, Plus Mughot

Lindsay Lohan MugshotAs we pretty much all know by now, was arrested yesterday on DUI charges - she blew a .13, which is well over the legal limit in California. Even worse, she was driving with a suspended license. Worse still? They found cocaine in her car. Of course, Lindsay says she’s innocent:

“Yes. I am innocent… did not do drugs they’re not mine. I was almost hit by my assistant Tarin’s mom. I appreciate everyone giving me my privacy.”

If it’s privacy you want, stay out of the public eye, mmkay? We just have to know - what was your first thought when you heard that Lindsay has been arrested again?


Lohan in the News – Again

Lindsay Lohan Less than forty-eight hours after her well-publicized DUI arrest, was photographed by paparazzi early Monday morning after another apparent night of partying. In the pictures, Lohan looks decidedly worse for wear and very much partied out. Wearing a gray hoody, 20-year-old Lohan was spotted slumped in the passenger seat of a car, mouth hanging open, passed out. Lindsay’s current tabloid-worthy behavior (she was arrested for DUI Saturday night, and reports say that an “usable amount” of a substance being labeled as “probably cocaine” was found somewhere in the vehicle) seems at odds with her recent image-boosting activities. Lohan signed on to join Alcoholics Anonymous after a stint in rehab for substance abuse problems…though, judging from recent activities, none of this has helped much.
