Shia Talks Fame and Car Crashes, Plus New 'Eagle Eye' Clips

Shia LaBeouf has not had a long time to cope with a horrific accident earlier this summer. Obviously, the story as it was first relayed - DUI, turned into oncoming traffic, flipped his truck, serious injuries to his hand - made the incident a big, big headline. But after he was released from the hospital, Shia returned to work on next summer's Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, and now he has to talk to the happy, hairsprayed harpies on the syndicated entertainment shows about his new film, Eagle Eye. Entertainment Tonight, which for my money pioneered fluff, celebrity kiss-ass journalism, talked to LaBeouf about the accident and how he's coping with fairly sudden superstardom. "The car hit me at 70mph," said Shia. "It was one of the biggest things that's happened to me, for sure, in my life."  LaBeouf also admits that fame has altered his life "exponentially in every way. This is the dream, the dream is just changing. It's still ... this is the best job in the world," admitted the Indiana Jones star. "There's negatives, but, yeah, that's in everything. That's life. I would not want to be doing anything else." "I'm dealing with it," he continued. "It's all very new. I'm trying to figure out how to be edible to a lot of people." And now, because you've been nice and patient, how about a bunch of clips from Shia's next flick, Eagle Eye. Big Brother's watching, so watch what you do in the shower... Thanks to Trailer Addict for supplying the clips. Eagle Eye, which will no doubt feature worse car crashes than the one Shia LaBeouf just went through, will be in theaters next weekend.
