95.5 WPLJL: Karen Allen "Would Adore" Doing Another Indiana Jones Sequel

Details Magazine "Shia LaBeouf: Hollywood's Last Bad Boy."

Such truth telling hasn't always amused his colleagues. After being anointed by Steven Spielberg, LaBeouf gave a lukewarm review to Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull, blaming himself as well as the legendary filmmaker for its failings ("When you drop the ball, you drop the ball," he said at the time). "I got lambasted for that, and understandably so," he says, smiling. "Because you can't be an actor and be honest—that's crazy!" Although LaBeouf tells me that Harrison Ford privately applauded his outspokenness, Ford recalls the conversation differently. "I think I told him he was a flunk idiot," the famously reticent star says. "As an actor, I think it's my obligation to support the film without making a complete ass of myself. Shia is ambitious, attentive, and talented—and he's learning how to deal with a situation which is very unique and difficult."

A father and son spat?

Well this is more of a little known fact. To thank the actor for doing the voice over for a documentary the British Museum of Natural History has named a spider after Harrison Ford. Calponia Harrisonfordi.



It seems that the Calponia Harrisonfordi is the only member of the arachnid family that uses long whip like antenna to snare and hold prey.

OK, I made up that last part but they really did name the spider after him.

See, you could have with-held that last part and I would have believed it. Not because I'm gullible... OK - maybe I am... but because I wanted to believe it.

There are a ton of news stories about the Indiana Jones films being released on Blu-Ray.

I'm still looking for an official announcement somewhere...
