Variety has just announced our favorite actor Shia LaBeouf, will star in a new John Grisham film, The Associates. Shia will play lead in the film adaptation of John Grisham’s latest legal thriller, “The Associate.”

In the past few months, Shia our Gemini boy has had a few legal problems of his own. On July 27, LaBeouf, 22, was in a car accident in Hollywood when another car ran a red light and hit his vehicle. Shia injured his hand and had to be rushed to the hospital for emergency surgery. Because of the accident, producers had to write his injured hand into the script of “Transformers 2,” the movie he was filming.

Originally, cops tried to arrest him for a DUI, but the charges were dropped due to lack of evidence. Why? Because Shia refused to take a blood test. Although, he WAS caught with another guys woman. Who was she? His co-star Isabel Lucas an Aquarius, who had been dating Cancer hottie Adrian Grenier. After Grenier heard she was out with Shia, he dumped her.

Confidential’s Los Angeles spies confirmed Lucas and LaBeouf were seen “coupled up” at ArcLight cinemas on Sunset Boulevard at the weekend. The ex-pat Australian who spotted the young stars gave a typically Hollywood-style review of the date night and the body language between the high-profile pair. “They are so totally going out,” the spy quipped via text message yesterday.

Although, only two weeks ago, Lucas was seen out with Grenier!!! Hmmm, it looks like both of these boys are being played. Adrian let her go, you’re way too hot for the girl. Plus, Isabel is an Aquarius girl, and loves her independence. I think she is more a romantic fit with Shia whose a Gemini. Stay tuned.
