L.A. Laker Stung by $50,000 Bumblebee

Lakers center Andrew Bynum bought himself a special present earlier this month just in time for his birthday -- a $50,000 tricked out Chevy Camaro modeled after the character Bumblebee from "Transformers."

We're told Andrew -- who turned 22 yesterday -- walked into Felix Chevrolet-Cadillac in Los Angeles and bought the Camaro 2SS V8 with all the trimmings, including a special customized body kit and yellow paint job with black racing stripes ... just like Shia LaBeouf's BFF Bumblebee in the Transformers movie.

But Andrew wasn't feeling Bumblebee's silver rims -- we hear he sprung for a set of shiny new black ones instead.

Wedgie Justice Man Ripped for Shooting Fox

Getting a shot of Megan Fox can be a serious pain in the butt -- and one super-intrusive paparazzi learned it the hard way Monday night in Hollywood.

While chowing down with Shia LaBeouf after the "Transformers 2" premiere, one dude ran into the restaurant, bum rushed their table, snapped a pic and booked it. Only problem: Their bodyguard was faster.

Security chased the D-bag down and used the atomic-wedgie technique to keep him from escaping. All while Shia and Megan got a laugh at the moron's expense.

LaBeouf in LaBuff

"Transformers" star and Hollywood hottie Shia LaBeouf gave Malibu beachgoers a little treat over the weekend -- a tasty helping of skin! This time he's smokin' ... hot!

The 21-year-old actor, who's rumored to be dating R&B sensation Rihanna, was sporting some major flesh -- definitely a side of him that should be shown more often. Surely he had no problem finding someone to help him apply a little sunblock.

"Transformers" star and Angie Jolie look-alike Megan Fox admits to dabbling in illegal substances -- and loving a little weed.

In a recent interview with Maxim magazine, the lippy starlet admitted that she's tried nearly every drug under the sun. "I've done drugs, and that's how I know I don't like them."

Ever the consumer reporter, Fox "tried several things" in order to "make an informed decision, but I didn't enjoy anything other than marijuana." In fact, says Fox, "I don't even think of it as a drug -- it should be legalized." Is it 4:20 yet?

Fox also discusses the white powdery stuff, and she's not talking snow. Says Fox, "Cocaine is back with a vengeance ... Celebrities aren't trying to hide it, except when people have camera phones."

"I know about five people who aren't on drugs today, and I'm one of them." Perhaps Fox should make some new friends.
