Cops say Shia LaBeouf 'not at fault' for crash

Shamed actor

Shia LaBeouf

was not to blame for the early-morning crash in Hollywood on Sunday, authorities say.

The fickle finger of blame is said to pointing directly at the other driver for allegedly running a red light.

Usmagazine.com

quotes Sheriff spokesman Steve Whitemore saying detectives involved with the case have concluded that the other driver was to blame.

"The other car ran a red light and, if not already, they will be cited," Whitmore says.

"They will now be listed as Party One on the report, indicating they were at fault."

LaBeouf's pickup collided with another vehicle on a West Hollywood intersection during the early hours of Sunday morning. The actor was later cited with a misdemeanour DUI.

Meanwhile, several news reports confirm that LaBeouf's

Transformers

co-star

Isabel Lucas

, 23, was a passenger in his pickup at the time of the accident. She reportedly escaped uninjured. Which is more than can be said for LaBeouf....

The actor - who now joins a hall of shame occupied by other Hollywood DUI muppets - is recovering from extensive

hand surgery

after his pickup was trashed.

And, everyone's talking about a seemingly casual comment LaBeouf made during a magazine interview for

Details

magazine.

The silly sausage was quoted as saying he doesn't "know how to have one drink" - a frivolous comment perhaps which, given his current alcohol-related shenanigans, packs more punch than a loaded AK-47.

Let's start a countdown to the inevitable "I'm off to rehab to sort my crap out" line from the troubled actor's reps. 10, 9, 8...

In his dreams

Tommy Lee

has some nerve. Well, what else do you expect from a man who married

Pammy Anderson

- the woman who trotters around with a front that looks like two bald-headed convicts escaping from prison.

Word has it that Lee wants none other than the fabulous

Johnny Depp

to play him on the big screen. Yes, I know, tres non bon.

The rocker is said to be eyeing up Depp to play him in a movie based on rock band

Motley Crue

's memoirs.

Lee says, "Johnny Depp would be my choice to play me. He's the best (actor) ever. We're working on the film, trying to find the right producers and director and all that sort of stuff."

Hannah Montana finito?

Rumours are swirling that the next season of Disney's

Hannah Montana

could be the last.

The show's publicity shy star

Miley Cyrus

is currently filming the big screen version of the hugely popular series, and reportedly told

E! News

columnist Marc Malkin the third season of HM could be its final run.

"We're thinking this is our last season," Miley told the columnist.

"I just think we did a lot of episodes. We basically did two seasons in one last year. Usually people would do one season that would be, like, 16 episodes, and we did almost 30 episodes!"

But don't expect the teen sensation to try and escape from the big mouse just yet.

"I'm still with my family," Miley said of her Disney employers. "They're safe."

No comment as yet from the Mickey Mouse folk.

Barren Shannen

Faded star

Shannen Doherty

needs an urgent shot of publicity. She's practically incognito these days.

Doherty apparently waltzed in to a Mailbu Sherriff's office last week to complain about some paparazzo who'd been following her like a bad smell.

Turns out the boys in blue behind the counter hadn't the foggiest who she was and stared at her like stunned mullets.

An indignant Doherty reportedly bit back with the immortal line "don't you know who I am?" (Ok, so I made that bit up). Actually, she did proclaim that she was a TV star, which went down like a lead balloon. The cop apparently asked his fellow men if they knew who she was, which was met with a sea of shaking heads.

TMZ.com

reports that Doherty turned on her high-class heels and bolted.

Love it.

W for why?

The teaser trailer for

Oliver Stone

's

George W. Bush

bopic

W

has been christened online.

Put bluntly, I'm not in the least bit teased. Bored, yes.

Do we really need yet more propaganda for the Bush 'empire'? Ooh, I'll stop there. Politics and entertainment don't mix *he says with a sardonic smile*

Rumour official

Johnny Depp

is all set to team up with director

Tim Burton

again - playing the

Mad Hatter

in a film version of

Alice in Wonderland

.

Burton is rumoured to have been keen on re-imagining the kiddie fable for yonks, and wants his golden boy to take the lead role.

A snitch said: "Tim has had designs on 'Alice in Wonderland' since before he was famous.

"He has a knack for turning what seems like stories for just kids into gripping, spooky fables loved just as much by adults.

"He's held out on doing 'Alice' until he got a big enough budget. Now this film is financed by Disney so money won't be a problem."

The movie is expected to hit cinemas in 2010.

Not Joking

Remember that warehouse I mentioned to you last week? You know the one where they churn out the freaks of society? Well, here's another specimen direct off the conveyor belt.

Police in Michigan, U.S.A have

called Spencer Taylor. He was collared by the cops for allegedly

stealing Batman paraphernalia

from a cinema - disgusted as

The Joker

. As you do.

Life is indeed stranger than fiction.
