Earlier today the rumor mill was in high-gear, and there were reports coming out of the “Transformers” set that Shia LaBeouf might have to get a pinky finger amputated following an accident less than two weeks ago. According to LaBeouf’s publicist, the rumors are “completely untrue.”

At the time of the accident, it was rumored that Shia was drunk, but that has also been denied by his publicist. He was, however, arrested on suspicion of a DUI misdemeanor after a collison that resulted in his truck flipping upside down. The charges aren’t yet going away, and the actor will have to prove himself in court. According to reports from the San Francisco Chronicle, he may be headed to rehab in an effort to help his chances of beating a DUI conviction.

Morgan Freeman Divorcing Wife After 24 Years

Freeman underwent nearly five hours of surgery on Monday to repair damage to his left arm and hand and reconnect nerves that were injured in the car wreck.  Following the surgery, a spokesman for the “Dark Knight” star said that he was in “good spirits” and was visiting with friends and family on Tuesday, as well as walking around and looking forward to his release from the hospital in a few days.

Freeman was injured in the crash on a rural Mississippi Delta highway while driving a car that belonged to Demaris Meyer, 48,  a friend of Freeman and his wife.  Meyer was not seriously injured in the crash. Police are still investigating, but heavy rain in the area where they were driving is believed to have possibly played a part in the accident.
