Shia LaBeouf in Fender Bender?

May 29th, 2009

Shia La Beouf has a suspended driver’s license, so it’s a little surprising to hear that someone is claiming he scratched another car in a fender bender.

 

Celebuzz reports that a driver in the Los Feliz neighborhood of L.A. called them up to tell them that Shia bumped the rear end of her Nissan while merging at an intersection. She also recounted the inicident on her Twitter page.

 

However, Shia’s reps are saying that’s a no go, and that he wasn’t in the neighborhood or at the wheel anywhere at all.

"This story is completely fabricated," a spokeswoman for Shia told Celebuzz. "Shia was in Santa Monica with friends for the afternoon in question. This must be a clear case of mistaken identity."

The woman says the story is true however, adding that Shia was wearing a brown hat, white shirt and sneakers, and that they even joked around while exchanging insurance information .

The answer is yes! The Hannah Montana star’s been taking driving lessons at the California Driving School in L.A. where she’s impressed her instructor with her calm, cool demeanor behind the wheel.

"She’s very determined to be a good driver," instructor Gloria Ridgeway, head of the Driver’s Ed department of the California Driving School tells Celebuzz.com. "She’s very focused. She really picks it up."

"They have good lessons," Ridgeway continues. "Miley’s lessons are always fun and enjoyable. There can be laughter along with safe driving. It’s all about being focused and avoiding distractions. She watches everything from two blocks ahead of her to what’s on the sidewalk beside her."

City prosecutors in L.A. had lodged the complaints in the criminal case after Britney hit a parked car and left the scene without talking to the owner, while driving with an out of state license, according to the Associated Press.

Brit’s attorney in the case, J. Michael Flanagan, reportedly rejected a plea deal that would have resulted in a year probation and a $150 in her misdemeanor license case.

 

Flanagan says that the Britster is being unfairly targeted due to her celeb status and wants the offer to be reduced to an infraction with a $10 fine. And if her case does go to trial, as it’s scheduled to do later this month, he’ll appeal any resulting conviction.

Britney Doesn’t Take Jamie-Lynn News Well

December 19th, 2007 / Author: OK! Staff

Within hours of hearing the news about her 16-year-old sister’s unexpected pregnancy, Britney Spears was going wild on the streets of Los Angeles.

The troubled pop star’s first stop was the Lisa Kline boutique, where Brit often shops when depressed. With her chihuahua in hand, the 25-year-old mother of two tried on a variety of short dresses and jeans. And while this might not strike one as odd, what the former Mrs. Kevin Federline told reporters as she left was certainly of note. "My sister’s not pregnant!" the "Gimme More" songstress exclaimed. Um… Is there another Spears sister we don’t know about?

But the odd behavior didn’t stop there. According to witnesses, Britney, who at best can be described as an often-confused driver, made several U-turns in rainy conditions Tuesday night, and at one point while driving west along Santa Monica Blvd., the pop star began to turn right and go north on Doheny Dr., only to change her mind in mid-turn and make a left-hand turn, cutting across three lanes of traffic in the middle of the intersection!

A few blocks later, Brit pulls into the swanky L’Ermitage Beverly Hills hotel, where she and her assistant hung out at the famous Writer’s Bar. In the bathroom, one eyewitness describes the pair as "thick as thieves," saying they were "sharing makeup and lipstick." After enjoying a beverage at the bar, Brit and her assistant sat down for some grub.

Just after midnight, it appeared as if Britney had decided to move on, pulling out of the L’Ermitage parking lot. But instead of heading to a nearby fave like the Four Seasons, Brit merely drove around the block before re-entering the hotel minutes later!

Well, if Britney wants to learn about her sister’s pregnancy, she can just head down to the hotel’s newsstand Wednesday morning and pick up a copy of the new OK!.

Should Britney Be Driving?

November 9th, 2007 / Author: cwillett

During Thursday’s emergency hearing in the Britney Spears vs. Kevin Federline custody case, Mark Vincent Kaplan, attorney for K-Fed, asked the judge to issue an order forbidding Britney from driving while either of her two young boys were in the car. Ultimately, the court nixed the idea, but given Britney’s behavior only hours later, perhaps the judge should have listened.

According to TMZ, the beleaguered pop star failed to heed a red light on the corner of Mulholland Drive and Coldwater Canyon in Los Angeles, all while her two children rested in the back seat.

This latest incident follows two separate instances of Britney driving over someone’s foot, in addition to seemingly countless stories of the singer driving aimlessly around Los Angeles, Beverly Hills and Malibu.
