We have wonderful news regarding Shia's pinkie! (Say those last two words three times fast. It's fun.) Contrary to Star magazine's distressing report, which described a tiny, ax-wielding medieval executioner stationed over the star's left hand just waiting for the word, it turns out he'll be able to keep all ten of his fingers after all. The LAT e-mailed Shia's rep Melissa Kates for confirmation.She in turn responded with two little words—"Totally untrue"—that totally puts him back in the running for that Billy Joel biopic project. (Not to mention all the water he'll be able to wiggle out of his ear after he goes swimming! There's so many uses for a pinkie—and Shia can take advantage of them all!)
