SHIA LaBEOUF was convinced moviemaker STEVEN SPIELBERG was going to axe him from TRANSFORMERS during a meeting - but was offered a part in INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL instead.
LaBeouf feared his Hollywood career was over after he was called into a meeting with the legendary filmmaker ahead of the release of the 2007 Transformers movie.
But he was pleasantly surprised by Spielberg's offer.
He tells Hollyscoop.com, "I had just finished making Transformers. On a Monday, I got a call: 'Steven wants to meet with you at his office on Thursday regarding a movie he's gonna be making.'
"So I went to Amblin, and I came into his office. I had started to think maybe I was going to the principal's office.
"Like that Steven was going to say, 'Listen, we just saw all the Transformers footage, and we're in the midst of cutting you out of the film. And we just wanted to express our thanks for your hard work and efforts.'"
But what Spielberg really wanted was to ask him to star in the next installment of the Indiana Jones franchise.
LaBeouf said he felt like he was going to cry and started pacing around the office, and Steven said, "I guess that means yes."
Former AMERICAN IDOL winner JORDIN SPARKS has offered words of advice to the U.S. hit show's newly crowned champion DAVID COOK - telling him to get as much sleep as possible.
The singer congratulated triumphant contestant Cook, who scored a landslide victory over fellow finalist David Achuata at Wednesday's (21May08) series finale - achieving 12 million more votes than the 17-year-old hopeful.
But Sparks, who performed her hit No Air Round at the finale, says rocker Cook better be prepared for a hectic schedule, insisting she hasn't had a decent night's rest since she won the show last year (07).
She says, "Sleep as much as you can because you don't get any sleep. It's a year later and I still haven't gotten a whole eight hours of sleep yet ? I'm still reeling from winning last year."
And when asked by People magazine who she wanted to be crowned as the winner of this year's hit U.S. talent show, Sparks remained diplomatic, claiming she had voted for both finalists.
She says, "I voted for both of them last night so I can't really say I had a favourite. I got to meet both of them and they were so sweet! Both of them are going to be fine. I'm so proud of both of them."
