He’s Hollywood’s current golden boy, but Shia LaBeouf still can’t avoid controversy. Actually, because he’s Hollywood’s current golden boy, the media is probably trying harder to hurt his image. That’s just what the media does. Not that I’m all that innocent. I had thought of embedding the latest clip, which shows the actor partying, slapping his buddy and using a certain “homophobic slur.” But it just didn’t seem that relevant to the discussion of film.

However, now that it’s in the news rather than just on the gossip blogs, with LaBeouf making a public apology (via his rep) and YouTube officially removing the video (except that it’s still here), I figured I’d share my favorite Shia LaBeouf montage, thereby making it more film-related. Because I imagine that each time Shia is arrested, or an embarrassing clip shows up online, or some other incident that requires damage control, he’s once again uttering his trademark, “no, no, no, no, no, no, no!”

OK, it’s still not that film-related, but it’s kinda funny. We don’t often get young male starlets being dragged through the mud like this, so let’s celebrate it while we can. I don’t imagine anything will ruin Shia’s career in the way that female starlets’ careers get ruined. Anyway, if you’re really dying to see what all the fuss is about, you can watch the video here or here, once all the YouTube copies are actually removed as reported.
