Shia LaBeouf, the young arriviste who talks like a street tough but looks like a Hebrew camp counselor, says he is "embarrassed" by a video that has recently surfaced showing him calling some dude a "faggot" and asking to be slapped.
Of course, he didn't actually say he was embarrassed, but his publicist did, and those people are pretty much the Jiminy Crickets of Hollywood.
The videotape that is currently being circulated is several years old and captures Shia playing a game among friends in which he uses a derogatory word toward a friend. … He regrets having used the word in any capacity and is very embarrassed that this footage is being seen by anyone.
Ah, yes, who among us hasn't thoroughly enjoyed the "call your friend a faggot until he hits you in your drunken face" game? Those were the days.

I guarantee you the publicist only "regrets" it because he got caught. Teenage frat boys talk like this all the time. This guy is no different.
I've played this game. It's not as fun as it sounds.
I dont care what anyone says, I love me some Melon Ball Boonesy.
…I still like him. When you're around a bunch of gay, er, retard- no, stupid teenage boys, sometimes you act like a fag, I mean, asshole.
LOL Luz!
I love Luz comment! Brilliant. I love me some Shia and I say WHO CARES!!
I'm pretty sure parents who had their child beat to death because he was a "faggot" care, but, whatever, Shan.
Whatever… I don't think it's a good word to use, and it sucks to hear gayness talked about in a derogatory way, but I'm pretty sure everyone who's up in arms about this is a huge hypocrite. If you've ever used "bitch" to refer to anything but a female dog, used the word "retarded", or any other slur, you're on the same page as this guy. It's unfortunate, but I wish people would spend more time examining their own prejudices rather than throwing stones.
Who cares. fags are fags.
