Shia just might get out of that DUI chargeAs we reported earlier, Transformers 2 star Shia LaBeouf may not be at fault for the accident he found himself in early Sunday morning, but he is still facing DUI charges.

Seeing as the powers that be apparently don’t want to see Shia turn out like his fellow Disney stars (i.e. Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears), it appears as if his blockbuster-making pal, Michael Bay, has come to his rescue!

The Transformers director adamantly insists that his beloved actor was not intoxicated that night:

“He was not drunk. He was drinking hours and hours before… We had a little heart to heart the week before when he bought a brand new motorcycle. I [said], ‘Dude! You cannot ride that motorcycle! If you crash, you put 1,500 people out of work.’ He said, ‘Ok, I won’t ride it, I won’t ride it. I’ll just drive my truck’.”

Given the news about Shia LaBeouf’s recent DUI, this interview he gave back in May really doesn’t seem that funny.

On Late Night with David Letterman, the 22-year-old promoted Indiana Jones and gave a detailed explanation for his drunken arrest at a Chicago Walgreen’s. While the actor did admit to being “a moron,” he also lovingly referred to alcohol as “special magic sauce.”

When asked what he learned about his run-in with the law, LaBeouf eerily said: “Drinking and driving is one thing, but drinking and shopping...it’s just as bad.”

Lily Allen leaving Glamour Awards early

In less than a day, British punkster Lily Allen managed to shock both fans and press several times at Glamour‘s Women of the Year Awards, including a much talked-about quick departure due to her intoxication.

First there was the hair. Having just gone from dark to light, no one expected Lily to quickly change to an extreme pink! To be honest, while many folks slammed her fashion for the choice in hair color, I loved it! Okay, so I may be slightly biased since that is my own personal favorite hair color, but jewelry designer Tarina Tarantino and pop rebel Pink have both successfully pulled it off—why can’t Lily?

Restraining Order Filed Against Bill Murray

Bill Murray, Jennifer Butler MurrayEvery once in a while there’s a story you personally wish wasn’t true. This one would be mine.

On May 12, Jennifer Butler Murray, wife of comedian , filed for divorce in Charleston, South Carolina. And while most of us are used to hearing the overused phrase “irreconcilable differences,” what Jennifer had to say in those papers could put the Charlie Sheen-Denise Richards feud to shame.

According to the court documents, Jennifer blames “adultery, addiction to marijuana and alcohol, abusive behavior, physical abuse, sexual addictions and frequent abandonment” as the reasons for the end of her 10-year marriage.

Butler also felt it was necessary to file a restraining order against Bill due to his reportedly violent nature. Despite moving with their four children into a separate residence back in 2006, Murray allegedly came to his estranged wife’s home and physically harmed her. The Lost in Translation star supposedly “hit her in the face and then told her she was ‘lucky he didn’t kill her.’ “

No Cosmos for Kristin Davis

Posted by K.C. Morgan
Categories: Movies

Kristin Davis star Kristin Davis (we know her best as Charlotte York-Goldenblatt) recently sat down with Health magazine to talk Sex, cosmopolitans and her past. What she revealed may seem more than surprising to die-hard Sex fans.

You’re in a fashionable Manhattan club when you notice sitting some stools away. If your first impulse is to tell the barkeep to send a cosmo over her way, resist. In her interview, Davis admitted that she used to suffer from alcoholism - and she never touches the bevy of free cocktails she receives from faithful fans. “I get sent many a cosmo,” Davis admitted. “I never drink them...Why risk it?”

Unlike her happily married character, Davis, 43, is still a single gal with no kids to call her own. She would, however “love to have children.” Davis said she admires , and would consider adoption. But let’s not cash it all in just yet. Kristin also admitted “I would still like to find a man and have a baby with him.” Just remember, guys, cosmos definitely aren’t the way to her heart.

Pat O’Brien Given Another Chance

Categories: Television, Drunk

The Insider teamDespite earlier reports that Pat O’Brien would be leaving his post on The Insider, it seems the show’s producers are being forced to return to square one.

For some time, it appeared that was being groomed to be ’s new co-host.  Unfortunately, the performer decided he didn’t want to commit to anything more than just an interim position.  Realizing the entertainment program would not work with a solo anchor alone, the Insider‘s execs opted to give the recently rehabbed frontman one more try.

Come next Monday, we’ll get to see the refreshed Pat on air once again.  What we won’t see is him standing next to Spencer.  For the time being, O’Brien will do his share from Los Angeles while Lara continues her hosting duties from New York.  Apparently keeping him in California is the best thing for his sobriety.  (He really should be within driving distance of Promises.)

Rehab Star Cut Off

Posted by Veronica Santiago
Categories: Television, Drunk, Where Are They Now?

Mary CareyAlthough she seemed very determined to quit her boozing ways, is apparently still having problems quitting the bottle altogether.

The former porn star was one of several celebrities who opened up about their troubled pasts on the recent season of .  Carey voluntarily checked herself in hoping to separate herself from that segment of the film industry and to stop her destructive drinking.

Unfortunately, the 27-year-old was reportedly seen downing a glass of wine in New York last week.  When a member of a restaurant staff recognized her, she was later cut off.  Despite her slip-up, Mary later claimed that she was “37 days” sober.  (Apparently things made from grapes don’t count?)

While we’d like to think that she has been sober for longer (the show started airing in January), we sadly realize rehab stories do not all end well.  Here’s to hoping that Carey’s recent incident was only just a minor bump on her road to good health.

The Insider Drops Pat O’Brien

Pat O'BrienWhat’s the best way to replace a lushy anchor?  You substitute him with a non-drinking Mormon.

Just last month, we told you about Pat O’Brien’s recent trip to rehab.  The Insider host, who made a living by talking about other celebrity issues, entered himself into treatment hoping to “maintain his sobriety.” (In other words, he wanted to stop drunk-dialing again.)

Since O’Brien’s leave of absence, a variety of people have stepped in to fill his shoes on the entertainment program.  As of late, has not only been the main subject of the show’s daily stories, he’s been pulling double-duty as Lara Spencer’s co-host.  Now it seems that gig will become a permanent deal.  According to the New York Post, Donny will be taking advantage of his new found popularity (thanks Marie!) and become a regular fixture in our households.

As for O’Brien?  Paramount is apparently opting not to ‘renew’ his three-year contract.  (That sounds much better than being ‘fired’.) I guess he’ll have a lot more time now to call a few friends.

The Insider’s Pat O’Brien in Rehab

Pat O'BrienApparently someone couldn’t handle another day of Danielynn coverage…

The Insider’s has once again become the focus of Hollywood news.  The entertainment/tabloid show host just readmitted himself into rehab for alcohol abuse.  This marks the second time in three years O’Brien has sought treatment for this problem.

Back in 2005, the 59-year-old hit rock bottom under very public circumstances.  Sexually explicit voicemails he recorded while under the influence somehow found their way on to the internet.  In an attempt to save face - and his job - O’Brien was forced to make a mea culpa on a primetime version of .
