No rehab for Shia, but he is getting help, says rep




Despite the dizzying number of reports flying around that Shia Labeouf entered rehab, it's not true, according to his rep.

But he is getting help.

"Contrary to previous erroneous reports, Shia LaBeouf has not checked into a rehabilitation facility but he is voluntarily receiving treatment for alcohol addiction," his rep, Melissa Kates, told Paste BN in a statement. "He understands that these recent actions are a symptom of a larger health problem and he has taken the first of many necessary steps towards recovery."

Shia was arrested after being escorted out of a performance of Cabaret and charged with criminal trespassing and disorderly conduct. Earlier Tuesday, outlets like the Daily Mail and TMZ posted photos of the actor holding an Alcoholics Anonymous book.

We're glad Shia's getting help, and hopefully we'll be talking more about his acting -- and less about his antics -- soon.
