It was only a matter of time before the rehab news hit. After his arrest last Thursday night and all of the subsequent craziness that was reported on Friday, Shia LaBeouf has checked into “a celebrity-frequented treatment facility in Hollywood,” according to the sleuths at X17 Online. That would seem like the logical next step for a guy who was handcuffed after disrupting a Broadway performance of Cabaret by shouting, swearing and slapping ass, and also spent some time chasing a homeless man around for his bag of McDonald’s. But seriously, who among us hasn’t been in that situation before?
We followed the actor from his Hollywood Hills home, just an hour ago, to a private facility where other stars have sought treatment — driven by someone believed to be from the rehab facility. When the car arrived at the gated drive to the center, a nurse and security guard were there to great Shia. In fact, earlier in the day when we spotted Shia in his driveway, we noticed his was carrying the Alcoholics Anonymous Big Blue Book.
Our photographer tells us: “Shia was nervous; he didn’t look good all morning. He was looking down and wasn’t even talking to his driver. It looked like he didn’t want to do it, but he knew he had to.” (Via X17 Online)
Maybe he doesn’t want to be there because this specific rehab center plays only Transformers movies. God knows that would scare most men right back into a bottle. But seriously, get help, LaBeouf. We’re all pulling for you to bounce back and date Amanda Bynes.

I feel awful for laughing so hard at that.
Addictions come in all shapes and sizes — look what happened to Jack Hamburglar!
I don’t….(*sigh*) I don’t want to think about the choices he made….on the dollar menu.
Astonishingly, the biggest assholes in this story are the throngs of dickish photographers mobbed around his driveway to capture photos of a human being’s rock bottom to be sold to trashy magazines.
It’s one thing to have the removedness of a magazine page or computer screen while gorging yourself on the drama of addiction, but if you can be up close and yell awful things at the person and still sleep well at night then you’re really among the lowest class of human being.
Agreed. The fact they talk about following him to rehab is dirty in its own right.

That was the most disturbing portion of this post.
“OMG Shia must be crazy! We know, because we have him under constant, close surveillance! We watch his every move, he can’t walk down the street without our cameras tracking him! And look, we caught him doing weird things!”
If I were in his situation, I would sit around crushing vodka all day too.
He’s like Joaquin Pheonix without the talent, and that meltdown was actually an act.
Douche rehab? Good luck with that you big, old douche-tard.
I don’t think it is going to work.
Can’t wait for the convo with Bumblebee when he gets to step 9 in the program.
Didn’t know that there was rehab for being a complete asshole
I’m torn as to how to feel about this.?
1. Happy that he’s getting help.
2. Sad because successful rehab means more shitty acting?
3. Fart noise?
He was the only thing I liked about Nymphomaniac. Is it because he was in the midst of his downward spiral at the time? I hope not.
Is this the rich people rehab with colonic cleansing and wheat grass fasting?
He’s as good as cured!
Hey, rehab worked for Lindsay Lohan! Five or six times, in fact.
hopefully this place has a club card, so your fifth stint is free.
He was being driven by Indio Downey, but first they took a quick detour to West Hollywood so Shia could smoke a french fry
“We’re all pulling for you”? No, I’m not pulling for him. He’s a dick.
PR stunt. are we done here?
