Shia LaBeouf Does ‘Details’ Magazine
Shia LaBeouf is featured on the cover and in the pages of the new issue of Details magazine … and gave the magazine a boon of a selling opportunity by getting himself involved in a car accident (which was initially reported as a DUI incident and has since been downgraded to the ruling that he wasn’t at fault at all) mere moments before the mag hit newsstands — thereby ensuring a few more folks may prolly be inspired to pick up the mag than they might’ve been before his little crash-up, especially when they catch wind that he talks a bit about his penchant for enjoying spirited alcoholic drinks. It’s the perfect coverstar at the perfect time talking about the perfect subject. Here is Shia’s cover and a portion of his Details interview that was conducted and covers incidents before this week’s accident … and I threw in a bit about his luck with the ladies cuz I just can’t see Shia scoring with chicks except for the fact that he’s a movie star:
“We would drink together and smoke together,” LaBeouf says, “and it’s just a bad deal. It’s not something that is conducive to being a role model—no iconic actors that I know of have problems like that. And I don’t know how to do it like a gentleman. I don’t know how to have one drink.” If it sounds like an actor struggling to stay in character, it may be. “I mean, look, you get arrested, it’s out of control. There’s nothing ‘in control’ about the situation,” he says. “It’s not as though things happen to me and I don’t say, never again.” But LaBeouf concedes that sticking to the straight-and-narrow is easier said than done. “I can never say never, because of where I’m at in my life and the vices that I’ve let go of,” he says. “But even when I was drinking, I never missed call times, ever. So now it’s no more alcohol—just Parliament Lights. And women. LaBeouf deems his female situation “extraordinary,” though he refuses to discuss recent rumors tying him to Rihanna and the model Lauren Hastings. “I’m enjoying myself,” he says. “But I’m not great with women, dude. I’m not a closer. I can chat all night long, but I’m not the guy who goes, ‘Okay, back to my room.’ I’ve never been that way—it’s not my presence, I just can’t do it. But it’s not been a priority of mine for a while. That aspect of my life is always going to be there. This”—his self-described “meteoric rise”—”is not always going to be here.”
HMMM … no more alcohol, eh? We’ll see about that. Even tho he may not have been at fault for this latest car accident (by ruling, anyways), it doesn’t really mean that he did no wrong. The police took him into custody for “exhibiting outward signs of intoxication” and I suspect he may exhibit such behavior in the future as well. I kinda hope that he keeps his nose clean as best he can from here on out … all eyes are on him now. Honestly, he doesn’t strike me as the kind of dude who learns lessons easily. After the jump, check out one more photo of Shia in the new issue of Details magazine …
Yeah, I don’t really get the picture (at first, I thought he was ironing drapes but I now see that he’s holding his belt in his hand … while crouching over window treatments) but I figured it was worth posting … was I wrong?

He’s a great actor. Hopefully he gets his shit together! I wonder if he was banging Adrian’s girlfriend. Kind of weird she was in the car with him. Yes, I know she is in the new Transformers but still…I smell a scandal and it doesn’t involve booze.

I smell more DUI’s in the future. Possible male version of Lindsay Lohan?
