Latest Gossip From Around the World

The chaos continued along Michigan Avenue in Chicago yesterday as Shia LaBeouf and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley continued filming Transformers 3. Earlier this week, it was Josh Duhamel and Tyrese Gibson who joined Shia to do stunts on set. It turns out that Rosie won't be taking over Megan Fox's role of Mikaela Banes - Rosie's instead playing Carly, which is the name of Shia's character's eventual wife in the series on which the movies are based. Things are apparently going well with Rosie's addition to the cast, and a producer recently spoke about her great chemistry with Shia. As Rosie focuses on her movie career, her Victoria's Secret pal Alessandra Ambrossio is hold down the bikini fort with a sexy catalog shoot in St. Bart's.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley wore an apron featuring President Obama on the LA set of Transformers 3 Thursday, but on Friday she was decked out in a white dress to film with Shia LaBeouf. Rosie, who was handpicked by Michael Bay to replace newlywed Megan Fox in the franchise, was spotted showing off her enviable abs as she relaxed between scenes. While she and Shia are cooking up chemistry on screen, they're both enjoying their own real-life romances off the set. Shia continues to cuddle up with Carey Mulligan, while Rosie's been dating action star Jason Statham for a few months.

This is a weird story. Apparently, Shia LaBeouf was “caught” by paparazzi when he was trying to “steal” an X17 photographer’s camera. Something about how the paparazzi were “swarming” him and he decided to take one of their cameras? If you go to X17 here and watch the video (nevermind, I embedded it below), you can see and hear that the X17 cameraman was basically taunting Shia and Shia zipped around him and went to the guy’s car to f-ck with his sh-t. Totally weird. The cops were called.
Shia LaBeouf was caught red handed when he tried to remove an X17 paparazzo’s camera on Wednesday afternoon. According to X17 Online, the ‘Transformers’ star was spotted taking camera equipment from the photographer’s car in Hollywood. LaBeouf saw the paparazzi swarming outside his house and decided the only way to keep them from snaping photos was to take the cameras out of the equation. He helped himself to the equipment and reportedly returned to his residence to call the police. Police eventually had LaBeouf give up the camera and didn’t arrest him.
“We handle each incident on a case-by-case basis,” an unnamed official told X17 Online.
Of course, LaBeouf has had a few run ins with the paparazzi in the past and stated how much he hates losing his privacy. In April, Pacific Coast News reported that LaBeouf got into an altercation with a photographer while he was filling up his truck at a gas station.
After realizing he was being photographed, he charged a photographer and allegedly said, “If you follow me all day I am going to f**k you up.”

I mean, I get that the paparazzi are frustrating, and obviously, this cameraman is a total douche. But that video was just strange, and I’m not seeing this paparazzi “swarm”. It just seems like it was this one douche. Granted, he sounds French and creepy, but just ignore him. It’s just one douche! I want Shia to be more mature than this.

Shia LaBeouf had on his favorite Dodgers sweatshirt yesterday when he arrived at LAX. He starts filming Tramsformers 3 in California tomorrow after spending a few days overseas for the Cannes Film Festival, where he premiered and promoted Money Never Sleeps. The trip wasn't all business, though, since Shia was able to squeeze in a few romantic moments with his costar and real-life girlfriend, Carey Mulligan. Their director Oliver Stone was happy to take credit for getting them together, and they apparently were too cute to see in person as they made the rounds over the weekend.
