Mon, 21 Apr 2008 11:12:45 PDT
Shia LaBeouf is having a hard time finding someone willing to sleep with him. Recently at Beatrice Inn, Shia was “desperately seeking a lady . . . but none of the hipster hotties were standing for it.” And if that sad spectacle wasn’t enough, he moaned to another woman about his failure to hook up with someone he didn’t have to inflate. Our onlooker snickered that he finally turned to one woman and whined a line that will send any guy home solo: “How do I get a girl to go home with me?” In

Within a three day period, I have spoken with two persons in completely unrelated situation (and different locales) who have made statements starting “when gas hits $4 a gallon we’ll have to . . . .” with something not-nice following.
