Shia Drops His Agent!

shiawenn5386699.jpg

That's one way to follow in Leonardo DiCaprio's footsteps!

Sources are confirming that Shia LaBeouf has left his agency, WME, as of last Friday. From now on, his career will be taken care of solely by his manager, his attorney, and his own two cents, whatever that is worth.

This is a huge blow for the agency and a big middle-finger to the woman who got him all his best deals, like Indiana Jones 4 and Transformers, Megan Silverman.

Though the source says the split was amicable, we can't see that being the case after all the hard work this chick has put into this guy and making him a star.

Oh, and the supposed reasoning behind his walk-off into agentless territory?

Leo did it! Shia is looking to pursue a route laid down by DiCaprio in his early career years.

Maybe you should have talked that over with him first, before you did it. As we recall, he was MIA for AWHILE in the industry until he hooked up with Martin Scorsese.

Good luck kid!

      Well am sure she was a major part in getting him started he isn't require to stay with her for the rest of his life and it doesn't make him a bad person because he wants to take a new direction. Why are you trying to start something that isn't there? They said it was amicable so unless she says he was a jerk in anyway its really a non-story. Plus am sure she is more well known as an agent because of how famous he became. They both got something good out of it afterall they were both nobody's before his career took off.

      As an agent, it's a huge kick in the teeth when you work hard for a client and they drop you when things are going well. There is absolutely no loyalty in this business. And no thanks either. Actors start getting big heads, thinking they need a "bigger" agent. The actors success will also help their agent become a "bigger" agent. But it doesn't work that way. Shame on Shia.

      Um…Leo also had talent.

      Re: FS – A bigger agent than WME?? they are the biggest agent in the town!

      I understand it would have been a personal decision from Shia, but at the end of the day, agents work hard for their clients and when they walk away, it is definitely a kick in the teeth!

      so yeah, I agree with you!

      I see nothing wrong with ending the relationship. An agent is just another person taking a piece of the pie. He may find it more difficult to get some gigs without agency representation though, Hollywood is funny that way.

      He's so fuckable



    11. 11

      There is nothing to talk about here. No fight to start. So why don't you just keep drooling over Glambert the dumbert and leave the heterosexual men alone perez. I mean really ur favoritism for flattering comments towards your fellow men is insulting.



    12. 12

      love shia and leo :)



    13. 13

      this kid is a douche



    14. 14

      I´m sure he´s fellow jews will help him out!!! i mean he´s a very medicore actor! the only reason he got those deals like indiana jones was because of his fellow jew/creepo steven spielberg! good luck shia ;) GOD is watching your every move! :)



    15. 15

      Dam! His talant is what has got him where he is today!!! With hair like his, im sure he will bring us a stonker soon enough, with or without an agent. Shia knows his stuff…Dont under estimate his wise-ness lol



    16. 16

      HOT!



    17. 17

      Perez, you should get your facts together. Leo was "MIA" because he wanted the fame surrounding him after Titanic to die down before returning to the spotlight, you jackass.

      Secondly, Leo has more talent in his morning deuce than Shia has. He was funny as a kid, but a serious actor he is not.

      Yeay this ass is almost over



    19. 19

      I don't get his appeal.
