Out with the old ... Megan Fox.

Megan Fox has been replaced in the Transformers franchise by Victoria's Secret model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley.
The news was announced on the website of Transformers director Michael Bay.
"I would like for all you S4TE fans to welcome Rosie Huntington-Whiteley to the world of Transformers," the announcement said.

Fox was the female lead for both Transformers and Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, playing the character Mikaela Banes. Banes was the love interest for Shia LeBouf's character Sam Witwicky.
No details of Huntington-Whiteley's character in the new film, which has been listed as Transformers 3, have been released but it is expected the British model will take over as LeBouf's love interest. The role will be Huntington-Whiteley's acting debut.
Last month it was announced that Fox would not be returning to the Transformers franchise, with Paramount Pictures not renewing her option.

Reasons for Fox's departure were not given but the actress's relationship with Bay is known to be strained. The Hollywood beauty caused a stir last year with off-the-cuff remarks that criticised both the director and the films.
In an interview with British magazine Wonderland, Fox described Bay as a "nightmare to work with" who had "no social skills". She compared him to Hitler.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly the actress said the first Transformers film "wasn't bad", but that she was not proud of her work.
"The movie wasn't bad; I just wasn't proud of what I did ... Working with Michael Bay is not an acting experience," she said.
Her comments prompted some crew members of Transformers to write an open letter in September last year, published on Bay's website, describing Fox as "ungracious" and "classless".
The director kept mostly out of the fray, but said that Fox had a lot of growing up to do and pointed out that Transformers started off her Hollywood career.
Fox has not had a blockbuster hit apart from the Transformers films. Last year she starred in Jennifer's Body and Australian audiences will next see her in the action movie Jonah Hex, due for release in August.

Transformers 3 With Victoria’s Secret & Jason Statham’s Girlfriend?

Ok, we aren’t sure about this one, but word online is that Victoria’s Secret model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is the dainty lass pegged to replace the sultry Megan Fox in Transformers 3. We don’t know what her role is yet and we aren’t even sure this is to be taken seriously. But hey, we don’t even know what’s behind Fox’s ouster from the shiny-bots franchise.

She’s sexy. Don’t fight it. She’s also Jason Statham’s girlfriend and thus, cannot be eyeballed. We’ve learnt our lesson.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is naked again

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, with the bee-stung lips and familial links to the Queen, likes getting naked. She was naked for Aubin and Wills recently, semi-naked on numerous occasions before that for lingerie establishments such as Victoria’s Secret and now she’s got various bits poking out in GQ magazine. Frankly, nudity suits the long-legged Devonian. And it seems to us that if you’re fortunate enough to look tremendous with no clothes on, you might as well do it loads. Obviously we resemble a half-melted mountain of marshmallows when naked, so we tend to reserve taking our clothes off for special occasions like weddings we’re not invited to and long-distance train journeys.
