Danica Patrick, member of the Andretti Green Racing team, nearly exchanged blows today with Milka Duno, another female driver, who competes for Dreyer & Reinbold Racing.

Eyewitnesses say that the verbal tussle got pretty heated.  Check out the video of the whole fight and see for yourself!

Being on different teams wasn’t the problem; It was Duno’s driving that upset Patrick.

This isn’t Patrick’s first time confronting another driver. She has also challenged fellow drivers Dan Wheldon and Ryan Briscoe after other racing incidents.

In 2007, Patrick and Wheldon collided during a race, but she managed to get back on the lead lap and finish in eighth place. After the race they had a heated exchange after she tried to confront him about the wreck.

Earlier this year, Patrick and Briscoe’s cars collided during practice, which eliminated both from the race. After being pushed back to her own pit, Patrick left her car and headed down pit road toward Briscoe’s pit at which point security intervened, preventing an on-track confrontation.

I think this woman just loves to fight! But, come on, there are only a few women drivers competing against a sea of men, and they should stick together!

Here they are posing for a picture- Duno on the far left (in jeans & black tee) and Patrick on the far right (next to one frightening looking lady–is that a lady?  Look at it her!). If they can be in the same picture together then why all the fighting?!

Of course, Patrick simply brushed off the latest scuffle, saying, “I just wanted to know if she saw me out there.”

Shia LaBeouf has apologized for a video of him at a house party with his drunk friends, that made its rounds yesterday. It has been taken down from YouTube but you can view it here.

The video basically shows Shia telling his friend to slap him in the face. When his friend decides, “Not today, sir.” Shia calls him a “fa**ot” and then receives a slap across the face.

Shia’s rep told E! News, “The videotape that is currently being circulated is several years old and captures Shia playing a game among friends in which he uses a derogatory word toward a friend. He regrets having used the word in any capacity and is very embarrassed that this footage is being seen by anyone.”

You may have already seen this video, but if you haven’t, take a peek. It’s one of the most emailed videos on glumbert.com. It lists 77 famous women in the North American film industry.

CNN is reporting that Entertainment Tonight decided not to air a video of Heath Ledger at a party that showed drugs being used (by others) in his presence. ET said it was out of respect for his grieving family that they decided to pull the plug on airing the video; however, it may be more likely that ET decided not to air the video because of all the phone calls they received (because at first request they refused and were going to air it). It is being reported that not only did powerhouse PR firms and studio executives call in to request that it not be aired, but individual celebrities such as Natalie Portman and Sarah Jessica Parker called ET as well.

Apparently, in the video, he is never shown taking any drugs, but does say he “used to smoke five joints a day.” He also points to his tattoo of “M” and says, “this is to remind me to never smoke weed again.” (source: CNN)
Seriously, airing such a video just seems like nothing but pure sensationalism–he obviously was not seen doing any drugs, so what’s the point? Who hasn’t been to a party where drugs are present (especially in show biz)?
