Shia LaBeouf arrested on trespassing charge

Chicago – Shia LaBeouf was charged with misdemeanor criminal trespassing after the “Transformers” star refused to leave a Chicago drug store, police said Sunday.

A security guard told LaBeouf that he needed to leave the Walgreens store because he appeared to be drunk, police said.

When LaBeouf, 21, refused to leave, the security guard detained him and called police about 2:30 a.m., according to police spokeswoman Laura Kubiak.

After he was arrested, police noted that LaBeouf was “very courteous and polite,” Kubiak said. Police said he posted bond before 7 a.m., but Kubiak did not know the amount.

LaBeouf, of Glendale, Calif., is scheduled to appear in Cook County court Nov. 28.

Police did not administer a sobriety test because LaBeouf was not driving a vehicle, Kubiak said.

Tattoo potential clue in Jam Master Jay slaying

New York – The gunman who killed hip-hop icon Jam Master Jay has never been identified, but he has what could be a telltale characteristic – a tattooed neck, according to a witness.

Randy Allen noted the mystery gunman’s tattoo in a story Sunday in the Daily News, marking what the newspaper called his first extensive interview about one of the hip hop world’s legendary unsolved slayings.

Jay, whose real name was Jason Mizell, was shot dead in his Queens studio on Oct. 30, 2002. Despite a lengthy investigation and substantial reward, the case has been stymied by uncooperative witnesses, investigators say.

Allen, Mizell’s business partner, told the Daily News he had cooperated completely with investigators and was furious that others had not. “This is a case that can be solved,” he said.

Working with rappers Joe “Run” Simmons and Darryl “DMC” McDaniels, Mizell manned the turntables on such 1980s rap classics as “King of Rock,” “It’s Tricky” and a top-40 remake of Aerosmith’s “Walk This Way.”

Ashley Judd tackles HIV/AIDS in India

Washington – Ashley Judd says education and prevention is the best way to combat AIDS and HIV, which disproportionately affect women and girls and prey upon the vulnerable and less fortunate.

Speaking about her new documentary film, “India’s Hidden Plague,” in an interview broadcast Sunday on ABC’s “This Week,” the actress said it costs just $10 to educate a person about the risks and protect them for an entire year.

The actress met with HIV/AIDS orphans in India while making the film, which will premiere Nov. 30 on the National Geographic Channel. “It’s very real and it’s real stories and real heartache and also real opportunity to focus on a solution that is very cost-effective and has an extraordinarily meaningful impact in the lives of young people,” she said.

Judd previously traveled to Central America with actress Salma Hayek to look at AIDS prevention there.
