Former Disney tween star has to miss shooting new movie for about a month due to a drunk driving collision. No, it’s not Lindsay Lohan. Shia LeBeouf drove drunk and crashed his truck this past Sunday and managed to injure his hand, which may throw off shooting for the new "Transformers" movie. Too bad he wasn’t driving Optimus Prime—that Bumblebee seems like a bad influence. And, we can’t image they’re still burning fossil fuels on the planet Cybertron.

However, La Lohan was rushed to the hospital as well this weekend after a motorcycle nearly hit her. But she was walking, not driving…so that’s more legitimate (and greener). Or maybe she wasn’t, it’s not clear: her dad says that his daughter got hit, but is okay. However, Lindsay’s publicist claims that the alleged accident didn’t happen.

Johnny Depp, Jude Law and Colin Farrell step in to finish Heath Ledger’s last movie role, "The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus."

Terrorists detonated two bombs in Istanbul, killing 16 and wounding 154 people. The attacks come right before a meeting of Turkey’s constitutional court, which was due to penalize the government for trying to enforce Sharia law. So far no one has claimed responsibility for the attacks.

Christian Siriano does not have Posh’s cell in his phone. He does however have all of her assistants numbers programmed in there. Also, the word "girlicious" is a hot, tranny mess. Ferocia Coutura does not approve. Is it too late to add a catchphrase event to the Beijing Olympics? The Chinese government says the skies are clearing up, so we can hear the athletes talking, without them hacking up a lung.

PS: the nerd dwelling deep inside of me wishes that I had made it to Comic-Con this past weekend. There are 42 comic book/superhero films in production right now, and most of the casts made it to the convention in San Diego this weekend. Oh well, Spain will have to do.

Shia LaBeouf flipped his big ol’ Ford truck at 3am Sunday morning! He was busted (then released) for a DUI misdemeanor after he collided with another vehicle in West Hollywood. Passengers in the other car had minor injuries, and Shia was taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center for treatment on his left hand, knee, and a minor head injury. This  is not Shia’s first brush with the law—he was booked for trespassing at a Chicago Walgreen’s in 2007, but this is his first driving offense.

Now that he’s totaled his ride, might we suggest that Shia look into a greener vehicle like, say, the new zero-emission Honda FCX Clarity? According to the Honda website, "Water is the only byproduct the FCX Clarity leaves behind" because of new technology that combines hydrogen and oxygen to power the car electrically. The much-hyped Clarity hits the streets this summer, but only to a very select group of pre-selected users e.g. Hollywood celebs like Jamie Lee Curtis. Maybe Shia can finagle a new eco-friendly ride, too, since he has so totally smashed his toy "Transformers" style.

Since industrial hemp is still banned in the US, it’s fallen to our friends across the pond to use it to change the world. Brit-based Lotus Cars presented the Eco Elise at the British International Motor Show, a sports car mostly made out of hemp. Lotus is attacking the environmentally-damaging manufacturing process of cars, instead of just fuel emissions, with wool and sisal carpets, water-based paints, and local materials. But the dashboard will also tell you how to maximize your fuel economy and minimize your carbon emissions. These dashboard confessionals might even be better than Chris Carrabba’s new album in the fall.
