  • Shia all but said he has a drinking problem. Why aren't the people closest to him listenening? He has what it takes to be a huge star. He needs to get help before he ends up a has been. We love him. Don't let him fall through the cracks like so many before him.~~~~Wendy NC

  • Shia is still young and young people make many mistakes(actually everyone makes mistakes young and old) , but he should know what he should or shouldn't do he isn't thinking about consequences. He said he has a drinking problem so why doesn't he get help? Getting help is better then doing nothing.

  • Yes, I think the judge gets star struck like for the R. Kelly incident...If a regular person did that they would be in jail in a couple seconds.

  • Holes was the best. all of the rest are great oo, but you gotta give props to the classics.

  • the only people sitting there saying that "stars" get no special treatment are the wanna-be know it alls that have never served any time or been in front of a judge

  • OF COURSE THEY DO! YOU try getting away with a DUI. Celebrities get a few hours in jail and publicity. You'd have to pay fines, have to go to jail, be on probation, attend DUI/AA meetings, community service, home monitoring programs, suspension/revocation/restriction of driver's license, and more. YOU try getting away with a DUI with the same lenient punishments that celebrities get.

  • It goes both ways for celebrities with regard to their breaking of the law. Paris Hilton got unwarrented bad treatment for her license;Yet Halle Barry was barely penalized for leaving a traffic collision she caused.
