Shia LeBeouf Is In High Demand

At least with the folks at the Burbank courthouse.

Shia was busted for smoking illegally outside some stupid gift shop in Burbank. His arraignment was today at 8 am, but Shia was a no-show. His lawyer didn’t show up either.

The judge issued a $1000 bench warrant for his arrest. His current whereabouts are unknown, but I’m sure that, wherever he is, he’s laughing his ass off about this, like he probably was with the ticket earlier.

Like, seriously, smoking is bad, kids, but I think it’s total bullshit that people aren’t allowed to smoke on the fucking streets anymore. I understand banning it from restaurants, or even from bars, but on the street? Like I love how every time I’m walking down the Santa Monica Promenade smoking a cigarette some kind pedestrian stops to remind me that you’re not allowed to smoke on the Promenade. And I’m always like “Oh, yes, I’ll take that under serious consideration” as I puff away. If anyone ever tried to ticket my ass for smoking on the Promenade I think I’d be like “Take this ticket and shove it,” much like Shia did. Fuck, dude, I don’t even pay my speeding tickets; you think I have time to deal with smoking tickets?

No hard feelings about this one, buddy.

  • That’s fucking ridiculous. They ticket people from smoking on the street? Where are you even allowed to smoke? They might as well make it illegal altogether if they’re gonna be that picky about it, jeez. I’m sooo not moving to California.

  • I’m not a smoker but, I also think this is a little fucking rediculous. Smokers need to smoke when they are out and about. Before you know it, it will be illegal for them to do it in their own place of residence. That’s California for you… Good for you LeBeouf!

  • ummmm, by the way… how hot is he looking in this picture? Like he’s about to kick some ass and put his cig out on the paparazzi’s forehead after he’s done kicking his ass… mmmmmm, lebeouf!

  • The problem is that all smokers hang out 1 foot from the fucking door. To get in or out you have to pass through a cloud of cancer causing smoke.

    Stay the fucking proper distance away from the door and you won’t be fined.

  • I do agree with Donkey Punch on that. I always make sure I get as far away from the door of a store as possible. It’s annoying when they do that to me and I’m a smoker!

  • I’m with Donkey Punch and ‘lise on the store doorway thing. A friend works in Kinco, and she has to breathe smoke all day, because the smokers hang around outside the door and it wafts in every time the door is opened.

    As for smoking on the street, I’m conflicted. On the one hand, it’s still legal to smoke tobacco, they have to do it somewhere, etc. OTOH, I hate hate HATE walking behind a street smoker & getting their smoke right in my face. Not to mention their ash, on a windy day. Ugh.
