MEGAN FOX WON’T BE IN TRANSFORMERS 3

When Megan Fox made those shocking comments to Transformers director, Michael Bay, last fall, likening him to Hitler and saying his films didn’t take much acting, it didn’t seem then like she’d be fired as Bay made light of it (Smart move as he’d look so much worse if he made a big deal of it!) He did say that Fox “had a lot of growing up to do.”

But now, Bay has a bunch of models reading for Fox’s role opposite Shia LaBeouf. (The fact that most of them have no prior acting experience kinda supports Fox’s point about the not much acting required though, doesn’t it?) Supposedly the frontrunner is English Victoria’s Secret model, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, but others with some acting chops who are rumored to have a chance are Gemma Arterton (Prince of Persia) and Brooklyn Decker (from the new Jennifer Aniston film, Just Go With It.) BTW, I can’t believe that Heidi Montag was said to have asked Bay for the role.. (If she did, she needs plastic surgery on her brain…)

Although Fox’s rep insists that Megan wasn’t fired by Bay, that she was the one who decided not to return to Transformers 3, rumors persist that it was Michael Bay’s choice not to keep Fox in the movie series. There is a lot of weight to this since it is a directing decision. Michael Bay recently commented that he thinks Shia LaBeouf needs a new love interest in Transformers 3.

Plus why would Megan Fox quit when her film, Jennifer’s Body, didn’t do great box office and the upcoming Jonah Hex may be cursed for her too if the critics are to be believed? But, to answer my own question, if Fox was pissed (and stupid) enough to call a director Hitler, well then I guess she’d be lame enough to quit too…
