Those crazy folks at Star magazine are reporting that Shia LaBeouf will have to have his pinky finger on his left hand amputated. Shia crushed his left hand when he flipped his truck on July 27 while driving drunk.

Doctors have told the 22-year-old Transformers star that he is likely to lose the pinky finger on his left hand.

“Shia called producers yesterday and told them,” the source on the set of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen in Alamogordo, N.M. says. “It’s really thrown the movie into turmoil.”

I’m filing this one under ‘Star magazine just makes things up for fun’. I don’t believe this for a minute. But if it is true, maybe those movie-dudes that make all that cool Transformers stuff can make him a bionic pinky!

Shia LaBeouf’s boss says that he was not drunk when he flipped his big old truck earlier this week. Michael Bay, director of ‘Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen‘ is trying to get some good spin going for his boy. In an interview with Access Hollywood that will air August 1^st, Bay claims that his best money-maker was not under the influence at the time of the crash.

“You’re gonna see - that’s gonna go away,” Bay said. “That’s fresh news… He was not drunk. He was drinking hours and hours before.”

Bay goes on to say that the DUI charges will soon be dropped, all will be good, people will love Shia again and he will continue to make millions.

Serendipitously, Details magazine September issue features DUI-boy Shia LeBeouf and the accompanying interview delves into the actors drinking issues. A rep for Details says they are not purposely trying to cash in on Shia’s misfortune stating that, “It’s already gone to print. Just coincidence in timing.”

In the issue that hits stands Monday, August 5^th, Shia talks about drinking with his father, his lack of control over his own drinking and the infamous Walgreens incident.

On drinking:

“It’s not something that is conducive to being a role model. … And I don’t know how to do it like a gentleman. I don’t know how to have one drink.”

On Walgreens:

“It was two hotheads. One completely in the wrong, one who wasn’t enjoying his job that night, going at it about minuscule bullshit.”

Geez. Everyone wants to let celebrities off the hook. A witness to the Shia LeBeouf DUI crash this weekend says he overheard the starstruck victim telling the actor to make a run for it. One of the first bystanders on the scene when Shia flipped his truck says after everyone realized how drunk and hurt his was, the guy he hit suggested he take off.

The eyewitness says, “The other guy was saying, `Maybe you should go, maybe you should get outta here,’ and he (LaBeouf) said, ‘No, I’ve gotta deal with this… It’s my problem.’”

Shia was of course later charged with misdemeanor DUI. Meanwhile, Shia’s unknown passenger has been identified as his Transformers 2 co-star Isabel Lucas.

Shia LeBeouf is recovering from hand surgery in the hospital after his crazy car-flipping DUI over the weekend. After watching the video below I think you’ll agree that he is lucky to have walked away from this accident needing only hand surgery.

Shia’s reps say he is doing okay but won’t be returning to work on Transformers 2 until his hand has healed completely in about a month. I’m sure that makes the big wigs at T2 happy.

Not only is Shia LeBeouf in big trouble for causing an early morning DUI, he is all busted up too. Law enforcement sources say that he badly injured his hand and will need surgery.

Shia will be having surgery on his left hand while law enforcement officers try to figure out if he will be charge with a felony or a misdemeanor DUI. The passenger in the car with Shia and the driver of the car he hit, all sustained minor injuries too but none of them will require surgery. Karma was working overtime last night, kids.

It was a dangerous night to be on the streets of L.A. last night. Not only was Lindsay Lohan run down by a motorcycle, Hollywood bad boy in the making Shia LeBeouf was involved in a terrible DUI accident. He was arrested last night on suspicion of DUI after he was involved in a major car accident that included flipping cars and lots of injuries at 3am this morning.

Law enforcement sources tell us LaBeouf was involved in a car accident at about 3:00 AM at the corner of La Brea and Fountain in Hollywood. We’re told Shia made a left turn in front of another car and the two collided, causing Shia’s car to roll.

Shia was arrested on the spot and the cops say that  ‘he exhibited outward signs of intoxication’.  That’s cop-speak for ‘he was drunk as a skunk’. All parties were taken to the hospital and TMZ reports that if the victims injuries are serious, Shia will be booked on suspicion of felony DUI. If the injuries are minor, Shia will be cited and released on misdemeanor DUI. Big trouble for little Shia is coming.

Maybe Shia LaBeouf isn’t such a bad boy after all. Star magazine reports that sweet Shia lets his ex-drug addict father live in his garage. Why won’t he let daddy in the house? You would think it’s because he’s scared he might steal all his stuff. But…no. Old man LaBeouf lives a hippie/nomadic lifestyle in a tepee in Montana and takes his winters in L.A. with his kid.

“My dad lives in Montana in a tepee, and he gets cold, so he comes up to my house for the winters and stays in the garage. He’s got an air mattress set up for him; it’s very comfortable.”

Just not in the actual main house — that would be too close, says Shia. “I love him, but we have similar tastes. Living in close proximity, we get into little battles. Over the fridge, over supplies, just everyday average stuff. Toothpaste, clean towels… it becomes a little overbearing, so we keep him in the garage.”

And you thought your family was dysfunctional?
