Shia LaBeouf Swipes Paparazzo's Camera

By PopEater Staff Posted Jun 10th 2010 07:34AM

Shia LaBeouf was caught red handed when he tried to remove camera equipment from a X17 paparazzo's car in Hollywood on Wednesday afternoon, according to X17 Online. The 'Transformers' star reportedly saw the paparazzi swarming outside of his house and decided the only way to keep them from snapping photos was to take the cameras out of the equation. He helped himself to the equipment and reportedly returned to his residence to call the police. Police eventually had LaBeouf give up the camera and didn't arrest him.

"We handle each incident on a case-by-case basis," an unnamed official told X17 Online.

Of course, LaBeouf has had a few run-ins with the paparazzi in the past and has stated how much he hates his privacy being invaded. In April, Pacific Coast News reported that LaBeouf got into an altercation with a photographer while he was filling up his truck at a gas station.

After realizing he was being photographed, he charged a photographer and allegedly said, "If you follow me all day, I am going to f**k you up."

Shia, you are in the wrong business buddy, they will never leave you alone until you're a hasbeen. With the kind of attitude you have, that shouldnt take long.

regardless of his attitude it's a bit ridiculous to have people stalking you to take pictures at your home or even just waiting for the moment you leave your house for all celebrities.

Exactly Deb, once one declares his or herself a public "persona" and opts for "career" that includes celebretism.....all else is out the window. You don't want your picture taken because you're "famous"....then don't get famous there chief, bottom line.

By donstillings

Exactly right! If he is tired of all of the attention, he can take a job at a box factory. Oh sure, the cameras will be there for the first week. "LeBeouf Possibly Researching a Role as Laborer" will be the headline. Then, after a few weeks, he will never have to worry about the attention again.

tell the snot nosed kid, if he cant handle the heat get out of the kitchen

By scooby8912

It's a little bit like saying you want to be paid for playing professional sports but you don't want anyone to take your picture. If he really wants it all to go away....then stop making movies. It's a package deal.

By markvacc1

Should have been arrested and taken to jail. Autoburglary and theft.

By snowmassey

The only thing more pathetic then paparazzo are the
trailer trash who must know at all cost what their
favorite star is doing every second of the day and night.

By Ette

I cannot stand this arrogant kid. He should thank his lucky stars anyone even wants to take his picture. Very immature. Make that very, VERY immature.

I understand how many do not want their privacy invaded, however, I think he should enjoy the attention while he has it. Let's face it, he's not attractive and his "talent" is much over-rated. Really, enjoy while you can cause it probably won't be forever. Anyone can run from robots!

By G

Do we really need to see him fill up his tank though? lol But yeah he shouldn't overreact he doesn't even have it as bad as others so relax.

By JoeyO'H

Shia is an angry, disrepectful, hating punk with a big mouth. Not a good actor either. He should be grateful someone wanted his photo. Loser!

By Nico Toscani

Shia seems like an arrogant cry-baby. He criticizes the people who made him a star, and acts like he's the biggest thing in Hollywood. In five years he'll be a nobody and begging these same photographers for attention.

By karen

I think he is "looking for attention", and he will get it this way, as opposed to no way...

By John

Get a life! If you think takeing a camara is going to stop them, your wrong. All that has done is make them want to watch you even more to see if they can get you to go off and do something real stupid. Got that Stupid? Why don't you try putting a shirt on that say's F**k YOU on it all over. I bet the photo's they take then can not be used, and they will not follow you, Stupid!

By CAT

You call him stupid, yet you don't know the difference between "your" (possessive), & "you're" (a contraction for you are). They don't mean the same thing, therefore are NOT interchangeable!!!

By Carla

They could still use it, actually... just blur it out and allude to what it says.

By sheila

case by case basis? what the hell does that mean? If you're a rich person and you steal something, you don't get arrested, what a bunch of crap!
