and the recent live-action Transformers reboot, got his ass handed to him earlier this week by big-n-hairy shirtless guy.
The story is classic: LaBeouf was drunkenly bumping into patrons at a bar, one of them lost patience and told him to "watch out," and Shia responded, appropriately, with "What are you going to do about?" What came next was what the guy was going to do about it, which, to be more specific, was beat LaBeouf's ass for the world to see.
This happens all the time. And by 'this' we don't mean LaBeouf getting pounded (though, now that you mention it, that should happen all the time). What we really mean is: celebrity beatdowns, attacks and assaults. They happen all the damn time.
