Shia LaBeouf Left Pinky Finger Amputation

Star magazine is reporting that Shia LaBeouf may have his left pinky finger amputated. Star quotes a source who says:

"Shia called producers yesterday and told them," the source on the set in Alamogordo, N.M. says. "It’s really thrown the movie into turmoil."

If you look closely at Shia’s finger in the picture of his left pinky, it doesn’t appear to have been injured at all, so Star’s story doesn’t seem believable at all. Good thing we have pictures.

The good news is Shia probably isn’t going to lose his pinky. There is some bad news however.

In May George Lucas told reporters at the Cannes Film Festival that he already had an idea for Indiana Jones V, and that it centered, not on Dr. Henry Jones, but on his son, Mutt Williams, played by Shia LaBeouf. Recently Lucas was asked by MTV News whether he still considered Mutt Williams a strong enough character to drive an Indiana Jones film. Lucas said that Indy just isn’t Indy without Indy, to put it another way, No. Lucas added:

“Indiana Jones is Indiana Jones. Harrison Ford IS Indiana Jones. If it was Mutt Williams it would be ‘Mutt Williams and the Search for Elvis’ or something.”

Looks like Shia won’t be taking over for Harrison Ford after all.

UPDATE:

LaBeouf publicist Melissa Kates responded to Star’s amputation claim saying:

"It’s a completely fabricated story."

Amen to that.

Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart are Engaged

Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart are finally getting married. Harrison proposed on April Fool’s Day, so I guess that makes him a fool for love. Once Harrison finishes his promotional work for Indiana Jones they will have the wedding.

Harrison has two sons from his first wife Mary Marquardt, as well as two from his second marriage to screenwriter Melissa Mathison. He has been raising Calista’s seven-year-old son as his own since the pair met in 2002.

Congrats!

Indiana Jones Getting Uninformed Bad press

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull has been getting some bad press lately. Those critics are sure to end up with egg on their face, and that’s sort of what they want. The critics who are saying the latest Indiana Jones movie will be less than spectacular are taking the negative side to attract attention to their sites. The fact is, this is a George Lucas film, who created Star Wars, which made over $4 billion, and the Indiana Jones movies, all of which are action packed, well written tight stories, with great characters, eye popping visual effects, and Harrison Ford. Indian Jones will be a blockbuster. Don’t miss it.

There are going to be a lot of great movies this summer, and Indiana Jones is sure to give you a bigger jolt than a quadruple shot latte. Click here to see the latest movie trailer.
