Actor Shia Labeouf is heading to law school - he’s to star in a big-screen adaptation of renowned crime author John Grisham’s book The Associate.

The Transformers star will portray a Yale Law School student with a sordid secret that leaves him vulnerable to blackmail.

The script will be adapted for Hollywood by The Departed writer William Monahan for studio giant Paramount, reports industry paper Daily Variety.

Everytime I see him, I think Shy-la-la-boof.  That’s how my son says his name.

I guess he really doesn’t want to be seen!  (What’s in the black bag, Shia?)

The Eagle Eye star had his driver’s license suspended Saturday, a result of his refusal to take a Breathalyzer test when he was busted on suspicion of driving under the influence following a July car crash, a DMV official tells E! News.

“It was suspended for refusing a chemical test,” the official said, noting that even though LaBeouf was cleared of any DUI charges after it was determined that the other driver caused his smashup, the suspension was “automatic.”

California law states that a person’s license can be suspended for up to one year if he/she refuses to take a blood, breath or urine test for a suspected DUI.
LaBeouf’s attorney couldn’t immediately be reached for comment.

The actor suffered a crushed hand that has since required two surgeries in the July 27 rollover crash, caused when another driver ran a red light and smashed into LaBeouf’s Ford pickup truck as the Transformers star was looking to make a left turn.

I assume that’s his father, but I could be wrong…

Shia LaBeouf looks scruffy as he arrives at Los Angeles Airport. The ‘Transformers’ star sported dirty jeans and carried a doctors bag. He also showed off his hand which is still bandaged following his recent car accident.
