Shia LaBeouf may be headed to rehab soon, an effort to reduce or beat his drunk driving charges.
LaBeouf, 22, crushed his hand in the accident and required surgery. He was released from the hospital last weekend and has been told he should do the rehab thing in order to help his case. But not because he is a drunk or anything..
He is due in court later this month.

Artie Lange, sidekick on the Howard Stern Show, has checked into intensive outpatient rehab for substance abuse.
Lange, 40, has struggled with narcotic addiction for years and has been to rehab many times before.
It seems he’s back to his old ways.
Last April he walked off the air after having an physical altercation with an assistant and it was thought he may have been using again.
Artie has been very open about his drug use, telling listeners story after story about being drunk to snorting cocaine and heroin.
I hope the guy gets clean, because yeah, he’s funny. But he’s also a fat f***ing loser. His mom still cleans his apartment and brings him food..
He’s just lucky enough to have Howard there to deal with his shit, because not many other employers would put up with him. He’ll eventually end up a nobody, a washed up old comic. Then maybe he’ll realize how good he had it.

“Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew” is coming back for a second season on VH1 and is set to premiere in October.
The show will pretty much be the same with a few minor adjustments.
Jeff Conaway will be back seeking treatment after having back surgeries causing him to become reliant on pain meds. Other quasi-celebs looking to clean-up are Sean Stewart, Amber Smith (model/actress), Rodney King, Nikki McKibbon (American Idol), Steven Adler (Guns n Roses) and Tawny Kitaen.
Gary Busey, who claims to have been clean for the past 13 years will also be a part of the show, offering support and sharing his experiences with addiction. Drug counselor Bob Forrest and resident technician Shelly Sprague will also return to be a part of the show this season.
Patients will undergo an intensive 21-day program. Families of the celebs will be more involved this time around and sometimes will undergo treatment themselves.
Steven Tyler, 60, has checked into rehab for substance abuse.
He’s staying at the Las Encinas Hospital in Pasadena. This is the same rehab clinic that Dr. Drew practices at and where the VH1 reality show Celebrity Rehab was filmed.
Tyler suffers from Hepatitis C and has said in the past that he is a recovering drug addict.
Blind item from today’s NY Post:
Which actress went into rehab only after she suffered a miscarriage? She was on a four-day cocaine bender when she lost the baby she didn’t even know she was carrying .
Yikes Eva, FOUR days? That’s pretty major. Just goes to show that [almost] everyone is Hollywood is a coke-head. Even the squeaky clean ones.
“I want to collaborate with Amy because she’s really hot and cool right now. I know one song, “Rehab,” was very popular, particularly because a lot of young people are in rehab. In fact, I’m thinking about going. It looks like loads of fun and I know my career will benefit from it.”

What can I say, I love this girl. I love her big-ass hair, her awkward shimmy, her rough sultry voice, I just love her.
Just imagine how much better she’d be without all the smack and that loser stank breath husband. Hopefully she has gotten rid of one of the two. And the second problem might just take care of itself…
