Shia: True Chicago Story

http://www.thesmokinggun.com/graphics/art3/1105071labeouf1.jpg 

Is anyone else yearning for a few more details about Shia LaBeouf's weekend arrest in Chicago? Here's what we know:

-- A security guard asked "Transformers" star to leave Walgreens at 757 N. Michigan Ave. early Sunday morning because LaBeouf, 21, appeared to be drunk. (Apparently in town to film "Eagle Eye," he was reportedly seen at The Underground earlier that night.)

-- When the actor refused, the security guard called police around 2:30 a.m. and LaBeouf was eventually charged with misdemeanor criminal trespassing.

-- He was "very courteous and polite" after being arrested, police said, and posted bond (amount undisclosed) before 7 a.m.

Here's what we don't know:

-- What was LaBeouf going to buy in Walgreens? Was he just browsing the magazine rack for a mention of himself?

-- What happened to the actor's often-reported claim that he wasn't interested in going out and partying?

-- How could the guard tell that LaBeouf was drunk?

-- In what way was he polite after being arrested?

-- Did he put Rihanna off men?

-- And why is the title of "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull," so undeniably cheesy?

We want answers!

Magnetic Fields tix

Act now: Moody indie pop band The Magnetic Fields is playing six just-announced shows at Old Town School of Folk Music March 14-16--with two sets each night--and tickets ($23-$25, all ages) went on sale at 10 a.m. You can purchase them by calling the Old Town School at (773) 728-6000 or at www.oldtownschool.org. The group hasn't released an album since 2004’s “i,” but the group recently announced that its new record, “Distortion,” comes out Jan. 15. Are you a Magnetic Fields fan, or do you prefer vocalists who sound a bit happier than Stephen Merritt? Anyone die-hard enough to head to all six shows?

Box office blog: 'Gangster' kills

 

Thanks to mostly positive reviews--though not from us--and stars Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe, "American Gangster" earned $46.3 million to top the weekend box office. That was enough to take down Jerry Seinfeld's superior, but perhaps overexposed, animated comedy "Bee Movie," which came in at No. 2 with $39.1 million. But family movies aren't automatic successes, as John Cusack's pretty average drama "Martian Child" proved, earning only $3.65 million to place seventh. Did "American Gangster" live up to the hype? Would more people have seen "Bee Movie" if not for Seinfeld's annoying "TV Juniors"? Where's the support for Cusack, Chicago?
