— Shia LaBeouf, recounting a tense conversation with Steven Spielberg to Hollywood Reporter in an interview posted Wednesday. Back in 2010, the actor made some critical comments about their film, “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull,” to the press and the director was none too pleased. “I’ll probably get a call. But he needs to hear this,” LaBeouf told the Los Angeles Times. And call Spielberg did. Looking back, the actor says, he regrets the gaffe, which allegedly strained his relationship with the summer-flick svengali. “It brought me freedom, but it also killed my spirits because this was a dude I looked up to like a sensei,”

Still married: Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries are struggling to bring an official end to their 72-day marriage, reports the Associated Press. Before setting a trial date, the spurned NBA player’s attorneys want to conduct interviews with Kardashian’s new boyfriend, rapper Kanye West , and her mother, Kris Kardashian. As a result of the legal wrangling, a judge predicts it probably will be at least next year before the couple is granted a divorce or an annulment. Humphries’s lawyer, Marshall Waller, says he is encountering difficulty getting information from companies that produce Kardashian’s reality shows in his effort to prove the couple’s marriage was a fraud. The couple’s divorce was filed in October.

Still not together: David Duchovny and “X-Files” co-star Gillian Anderson. Citing anonymous sources, gossip Web site Celebrity Dirty Laundry reported Wednesday that the newly single actress, 44, was dating her former co-star, 52, and that the pair had been in “a serious relationship for some time.” During the mid-’90s, Duchovny and Anderson’s TV characters, Mulder and Scully, had an ongoing will-they-or-won’t-they romance, but the chemistry never leaked into real life. And still hasn’t, evidently. On Thursday, the too-good-to-be-true rumor was quashed by Duchovny’s rep, who told MSN’s Wonderwall blog that the actors were good friends and nothing more.

Still at it: Roseanne Barr, who campaigned for the Green Party’s presidential nomination earlier this year and lost to Jill Stein, a Harvard-educated physician. The actress, 59, isn’t giving up. She’s back in the race as the nominee for the Peace and Freedom Party, a California-based left-wing organization founded in 1968 to protest the Vietnam War. The party’s last ticket was Ralph Nader and Matt Gonzales in 2008. “Vote for me,” Barr told the Daily Beast. “I’m not a liar. I’m not a thief. I’m not a whore. And I’m not a politician. I think that uniquely qualifies me to become president of the U.S.” Her running mate will be antiwar activist Cindy Sheehan.

“It’s really funny that they want the picture of me dressed because, of course, that’s never happened to me before.”

Behaving badly: Randy Travis, who was arrested for driving while intoxicated and resisting arrest late Tuesday night, CNN reports. Responding to reports of “A man laying in the roadway,” police allegedly found the country singer, 53, naked and reeking of alcohol on a remote stretch of highway in northern Texas just before midnight. According to authorities, the singer had driven his car off of the highway and into a construction zone. He was released on bond Wednesday morning. This will be the second time this year that a combination of alcohol, motor vehicles and law enforcement have caused grief for Travis. In February, he was arrested for public intoxication while sitting in his car in front of a church in Sanger, Texas.

Also behaving badly: Joan Rivers, who handcuffed herself to a shopping cart at a Burbank California Costco store on Wednesday morning, reports ABC7. The author and television personality, 79, made the unauthorized in-store appearance as an act of protest against the chain, who have refused to stock copies of her latest book, “I Hate Everyone. . . Starting with Me,” due to what the chain deemed objectionable content on the dust jacket. Rivers attempted to sell copies of the book inside the store until police arrived to escort her off the premises.
