His DUI accident might not have been his fault. At least not entirely. "L.A. County Sheriff's Department spokesman Steve Whitmore said the investigation suggests that another driver may have run a red light, hitting LaBeouf's truck. That driver was cited at the scene for running a red light. LaBeouf made a left turn and collided with an oncoming car about 2:30 a.m. The actor's Ford F-150 pickup truck rolled over in the crash."

With women having children at 40, what's a little reckless endangerment for a 48 year-old? Age ain't nothing but a number. Of course, when Aaliyah sang that, she was 15. But the point stands.
The L.A. District Attorney's office charged Rebecca De Mornay with two counts of misdemeanor driving under the influence. Mischa Barton's got some catching up to do.

Outside of the whole dad getting arrested for assault thing, Lindsay Lohan has a lot of good things going for her. And as if being born beautiful, rich and talented weren’t enough, Lindsay also has the law on her side.
TMZ reports that the D.A. will most likely not file cocaine charges from her DUI bust Memorial Day. And what about her July 24 arrest? You know the one, where she brought coke into a correctional facility? The D.A. is likely going to pass on that one too.
So if she’s found guilty for those two DUI charges sans coke, Lindsay could get a minimum four days in jail. With her luck, that should be enough time to "find" God.
It's been approximately five hours since TMZ first broke the news of Lindsay Lohan's DUI arrest, and lately the website seems to be favoring the "quantity over quality" approach.
Because while some LiLo-related posts are chock full of scandalous detail (Lindsay's crazy dad blames himself! Lindsay's former assistant was fleeing for her life! Lindsay's pants were stuffed with crack cocaine!) others lack the excessive punning and snarky one-liners we've come to know and expect from TMZ.
"Um, did you see their latest post?" writes a tipster. "It's literally just a composite of Lindsay wearing the SCRAM bracelet, juxtaposed with her mugshot! They didn't even bother to make fun of her dirty hair extensions," the tipster complains. "Or at least point out that Linds needs to lay off the booze, and pick up a bottle of ProActiv."
Wait, an unfunny look at a girl with a serious substance abuse problem? Now, what could be more tragic than that?
Breaking news update: Lindsay Lohan was arrested! For a DUI! And for drug possession (cocaine, natch) and speeding in a white Denali. (It's all sooooo Albert Gore III).
Anyhow, TMZ has the scoop, which is to say they know Lohan was arrested for DUI with a blood alcohol level between .12 and .13, they know she was "very upset" at the police station and they know that her SCRAM ankle bracelet is, in clinical terms, complete and utter bullshit.
The highlight of their bordering-on-obsessive coverage:
The sophisticated SCRAM alcohol monitoring device which Lindsay Lohan voluntarily strapped around her leg wasn't the reason cops busted her for DUI Thursday morning — which begs the question — what the hell was the point?
TMZ contacted a rep from the company that monitors the SCRAM bracelet who said, "I didn't even know she was arrested."
Nice.
• Vivica A. Fox didn't just wake up one morning, pound a few drinks and decide to get behind the wheel. Racism made her do it!
• Bruce Willis apparently enjoys flirting with twenty-something model types while his daughter, Rumer watches. Kinky!
• Usher knocks up his fiancee, Tameka Foster. Naturally, Usher's mom, and ex-manager (thanks to Foster!) must be understandably thrilled.
• Despite being physically attractive and sounding like a phone sex operator, Ivanka Trump may nonetheless have some trouble finding a suitor willing to accept The Donald as an inlaw.
• Brittany Murphy claims she and her ex-boyfriend are being stalked by a mysterious kidnapper who occasionally moonlights as a U.S. immigration authorities worker.
• Brooklyn State Assembly member apparently refuses to accept his big, gay son.
"What," you might be wondering, "ever happened to Page Six editor Richard Johnson and his drunk driving incident?" Richard, as you'll recall, was arrested just over a year ago as he attempted to drive off from Soho House in his 2005 Ford Escape.
At the time, he refused a request to take a blood alcohol test (he only had one glass of wine, he told the officer) and was summarily charged with two misdemeanors.
Now, more than 12 months later, where do things stand?
A "usable amount" of cocaine was found somewhere in Lindsay Lohan's car when she crashed her Mercedes SL-65 (a 2005, olllld) on Sunset Boulevard Saturday morning. At 5:30am.
The cops even held a press conference on the matter, where they would only say the coke wasn't Lindsay's, so, through the awesome power of deduction, we must assume it belonged to one of the other two passengers.
But that didn't spoil all the fun: Cops arrested Linds at the hospital for suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs (which one, or any at all, TBD). But let's all breathe a sigh of relief for the paparazzi, who are getting a pass on this one.
After all, it's not like they forced her to ram into a curb while making a turn. Which begs the question: How come there were no paparazzi around to capture this? We've searched far and wide, and no agency appears to have the goods.
We expected better.
