Shia LeBeouf Arrested in Chicago
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip,
This year’s ‘It’ boy has just surpassed another noteworthy milestone on his rise to stardom: the drunken arrest.
The star of Disturbia, Surf’s Up and Transformers was detained early this morning in The Windy City after refusing to leave a Walgreens. A security guard, believing Shia LeBeouf to be drunk, told Shia to exit the store. The Chicago Police Department was then asked to step in when the actor refused to cooperate. (Apparently he’s not used to taking instruction from someone other than a director.) LeBeouf - who was reportedly ‘very courteous and polite’ with authorities - posted bail after being detained for several hours. He is scheduled to appear in court on November 28 for misdemeanor criminal trespassing.
Interestingly enough, the actor held off celebrating his 21st birthday last June because of his work on Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. LeBeouf told Vanity Fair he wanted to finish the Indy project before taking a sip. “People say, ‘What are you doing for your 21st birthday, Shia?’ And I’m like, ‘I’m making an Indiana Jones movie.’ What’s better than that?” (The movie is currently in post-production, so it appears he may have been a man of his word.)
And while news of a young male star slipping up is hard to come by these days, I found today’s celeb arrest to be mildly disappointing. Seriously—who hasn’t been kicked out of a store when they were 21?

Kurt Cobain Story Hits the Silver Screen
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Universal, Adaptation, Drama, Filmmaking, Scripts, Upcoming Releases,
David Benioff (Troy screenwriter) has signed an agreement to write a movie about former Nirvana singer, Kurt Cobain. A Universal project, the movie will be based on the 2001 book Heavier Than Heaven, written by Charles Cross. Details are still up in the air on the film, which may or may not contain an on-screen appearance from Cobain’s widow, Courtney Love. She will, however, serve as an executive producer.
After Cobain’s 1994 death, rumors and innuendo abounded regarding the mysterious circumstances of how he died. Whenever a celebrity is involved, gossip circles will often repeat the same question: ‘Was it murder or suicide?’ From Marilyn to Anna Nicole, no one wants to believe their favorite stars would take their own lives (or attempt to). It’s unknown at this point which side of the story the movie will tell. In any event, it’s a death that will continue to remain question-rich and somewhat unsolved in the minds of fans…like many other Hollywood deaths before and since.
