There was an awful lot of drama behind the scenes of the “Transformers” movies, and as it turns out, it was an interview about the trouble, not the issues themselves, that got Megan Fox fired from the series.
Michael Bay broke his silence for the first time about why Fox was replaced after two films as Shia LaBeouf‘s lady co-star, saying that it was her unfortunate dictatorial comparison that did her in.
“You know the Hitler thing. Steven (Spielberg) said, fire her right now,” Bay said, according to the Daily Mail. Spielberg is the executive producer on the films, and the Hitler thing refers to comments she made to Wonderland Magazine in 2009.
“He’s like Napoleon and he wants to create this insane, infamous mad-man reputation,” Fox told the magazine. “He wants to be like Hitler on his sets, and he is. So he’s a nightmare to work for but when you get him away from set, and he’s not in director mode, I kind of really enjoy his personality because he’s so awkward, so hopelessly awkward. He has no social skills at all. And it’s endearing to watch him.”
Following her dumping from the film, Fox claimed that it was her idea to leave, with her rep telling People Magazine, “”It was her decision not to return. She wishes the franchise the best.”
LaBeouf, never one shy to share his opinions, recently gave some insight to some of the disagreements that Fox and Bay had on set.
“Megan developed this Spice Girl strength, this woman-empowerment [stuff] that made her feel awkward about her involvement with Michael, who some people think is a very lascivious filmmaker, the way he films women,” LaBeouf told the Los Angeles Times. “Mike films women in a way that appeals to a 16-year-old sexuality. It’s summer. It’s Michael’s style. And I think [Fox] never got comfortable with it. This is a girl who was taken from complete obscurity and placed in a sex-driven role in front of the whole world and told she was the sexiest woman in America. And she had a hard time accepting it. When Mike would ask her to do specific things, there was no time for fluffy talk. We’re on the run. And the one thing Mike lacks is tact. There’s no time for [LaBeouf assumes a gentle voice] ‘I would like you to just arch your back 70 degrees.’”
In her place, Bay hired Victoria’s Secret model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley to play LaBeouf’s new love interest. “Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon” hits theaters June 29th.
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley was announced as the number 1 spot on Maxim Magazine’s Hot 100 list for 2011 so it’s only fitting that she is featured in a hot photoshoot for the magazine. Oh and while they had her they also tried talk to her about her role in Transformers 3, here is what she said:
What’s Dark of the Moon about? Sam, Shia LaBeouf’s character, has to save the world, and he’s got a new girlfriend, which is my character, Carly. Things unfold a little bit darker than they seem at first…
Is Megan Fox’s disappearance explained? Yes, it’s explained, but that’s all I’m saying.
Is it explained with explosions? This is a Michael Bay movie, after all. Well, Shia and I are explosive together! The movie begins with us in a new relationship, and then we go from there.
I’m not a big fan of the Transformers movies to be honest but I will definitely be going to see this as soon as it gets released and most of the reason I will see it is featured in the photos and video below.
Megan Fox is known as one of the hottest women in the world, but according to her Transformers co-star Shia LeBeouf the vibe on set between Fox and director Michael Bay was very tense.
In an interview with Hero Complex LeBeouf says that;
“Megan developed this Spice Girl strength, this woman-empowerment [stuff] that made her feel awkward about her involvement with Michael, who some people think is a very lascivious filmmaker, the way he films women.”
“Mike films women in a way that appeals to a 16-year-old sexuality. It’s summer. It’s Michael’s style. And I think [Fox] never got comfortable with it. This is a girl who was taken from complete obscurity and placed in a sex-driven role in front of the whole world and told she was the sexiest woman in America. And she had a hard time accepting it.”
“When Mike would ask her to do specific things, there was no time for fluffy talk. We’re on the run. And the one thing Mike lacks is tact. There’s no time for [LaBeouf assumes a gentle voice] ‘I would like you to just arch your back 70 degrees.’”
Apparently the vibe on set is totally chill when it comes to LeBeouf’s new leading lady in Transformers: Dark of the Moon.
Rosie Huntington-Whitely was brought in when Bay fired Fox over all the slanderous b.s. she had been talking.
“Rosie comes with this Victoria’s Secret background, and she’s comfortable with it, so she can get down with Mike’s way of working and it makes the whole set vibe very different,” LaBeouf said.
Well, I’ll totally agree that Megan Fox is hot, but so is Victoria Secret model Rosie. So let’s just hope the third go at a Transformers film is better than the crap that passed for a second film.
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley showed us another reason as to why she is going to be the new hottie in Transformers 3 – she has better nipples than Megan Fox.
I wasn’t upset that Rosie was picked to be the new hot chick in Transformers 3, in fact I was rooting for it but I now see another reason why Michael Bay picked her to be in the movie.
Anyway, these photos are of Rosie Huntington-Whiteley walking around without a bra underneath her dress in Beverly Hills, hopefully the movie gives us outfits like this.

I guess Megan Fox got sick of the whole Transformers 3 drama because in the midst of all the rumors and stuff she decided to go on vacation to Maui, Hawaii, giving us these bikini photos.
These photos make me realize just how lucky Brian Austin Green is because her bikini body is incredible. In other rumors she is apparently in talks to take on a lead role in The Pirates Of Caribbean 4.
A source said “Megan is mulling over a number of big movie offers including another sci fi franchise and a role in the next Pirates of the Caribbean, She would play a mermaid who charms Captain Jack but she has a dark motive. Megan has always loved Johnny and is desperate to work with him.”
I definitely approve of Megan Fox being cast as a mermaid in Pirates Of The Caribbean 4 because that means she would spend the whole film showing off her body and like these photos show that is one great body.

Ever since Megan Fox‘s departure from Transformers 3 there has been a number of names thrown around as to who will replace her but Heidi Montag really wants the role, in fact she want’s it so much she recorded and uploaded this audition tape.
Heidi recorded this quick audition piece of her running around American Defense Enterprise shooting range firing a handgun at targets while trying to look sexy.
Heidi then tried to send video to Michael Bay on his Twitter account but she send it to a fake Bay account who wrote back to her saying “”That’s great sweetheart, but how are you with Turtle Wax on Ferrari paint?”
I know that Megan Fox wasn’t the greatest actress, you’d have more chance of getting emotion out of a piece of cardboard, but only Heidi would think that something like this would be a good audition piece instead of actually trying to do a bit of acting. Rosie Huntington-Whiteley seems to be the most popular name being thrown around to replace Megan, and this is exactly who I’m hoping gets the role not some idiot like Heidi Montag.

Michael Bay certainly has an eye for hot models. After it was announced earlier this week that Megan Fox had either been fired or quit from the Transformers 3 production, speculation has been rampant over who would fill her hot little shoes.
Meet Rosie Huntington-Whiteley.
Ridiculously long name… and legs. Rosie is a Victoria’s Secret model and girlfriend of actor Jason Statham and she was lucky enough to appeal to Michael Bay’s crotch. We all know that he doesn’t cast the leading lady in most of his films based on acting ability, so let’s just say that she’s been cast in the as-of-yet unnamed role for her other merits.
Check out those merits in this short (NSFW) film for underwear firm Agent Provocateur.

We all knew it was coming that Michael Bay would get fed up of Megan Fox‘s ungrateful ass and fire her from the franchise, this happened yesterday. But today she says she wasn’t fired.
Doing her best damage control, Megan had her spokesperson release a quick statement saying Michael didn’t get rid of her ass. The statement simply reads…
“Megan Fox will not be starring in Transformers 3. It was her decision not to return. She wishes the franchise the best.â€
Yep play the typical, “I wasn’t fired, I quit” just like we all use the “I wasn’t dumped, I dumped their ass” line. Seriously why the hell would Megan Fox think any of us would believe she turned down a huge paycheck. No word yet on who will replace her.

Michael Bay has finally gotten fed up with Megan Fox’s antics and has opted to give her the boot, after she was said to be running her mouth again. This guy practically made her a star and she wouldn’t stop berating him. She must like biting the hand that feeds.
Megan was spotted on May 2nd on the set of the flick, but was quickly axed after Michael found out she was talking more smack about him. (Side note: It’s Bumblebee!!)
She had previously referred to him as “Hitler” and this time, it was a bunch of complaints that led to her ousting from the franchise. She was said to be ripping him a new one over how tan she had to be for the last films and that she had to bake in the sun everyday.
Now she doesn’t have to worry about that anymore. He attributed her replacement in the film to giving Shia LaBeouf’s character a new girlfriend because it “made more sense”.
I had no idea about this until about 10 minutes ago, but Michael Bay has decided to team up with Victoria’s Secret and make an ad full of their Angels walking around with explosions going on around them.
This is clearly aimed towards men who are looking to buy underwear for Christmas presents rather than towards women. All the models are hot as hell but only Michael Bay could make explosions, underwear and hot women seem oh so boring. What do you think?

Back in September it looked like Megan Fox may have burned her bridges with Michael Bay by making the following comment to the UK’s Wonderland Magazine in regards to working with Bay on Transformers 2,
“God, I really wish I could go loose on this one. He’s like Napoleon and he wants to create this insane, infamous mad-man reputation. He wants to be like Hitler on his sets, and he is. So he’s a nightmare to work for but when you get him away from set, and he’s not in director mode, I kind of really enjoy his personality because he’s so awkward, so hopelessly awkward. He has no social skills at all. And it’s endearing to watch him. He’s vulnerable and fragile in real life and then on set he’s a tyrant. Shia [Labeouf] and I almost die when we make a Transformers movie. He has you do some really insane things that insurance would never let you do.â€
Rumors began flying that Bay didn’t really like being compared to Hitler and was going to cut Megan Fox from the next visually stunning stinker in the Transformers series.
This is not so, according to Michael Bay:
“I love her. It’s just, she’s young. Everyone’s got to give her a break, she only…23? It’s just hard. I’ve traveled around the world with her and she’s just like this world symbol now, you know? She’s got a great part in Transformers 3.”
That doesn’t mean that he isn’t going to kill her off in the third installment, but Bay claims that he won’t be doing that either.
We will find out when Transformers 3 is released on July 1, 2011.

Megan Fox was quick to jab a sword into Michael Bay for her role in “Transformers”, but now she’s changing her tune.
While promoting “Transformers 2: Revenge Of The Fallen”, Fox said that a sequel made no sense and could cause “a migraine headache”. She even went as far as calling Bay “Hitler” and claimed that he was hard to work for.
While at Spike TV’s 4th Annual Scream Awards, she had nothing but good words about the franchise. She said, “I don’t usually do this, but I wanted to say something. There have been a lot of false reports about how I feel about this movie. I just want to be very clear that I’ve always felt I’m a very ordinary part of an extraordinary film.”
She added that “the movie took me out of obscurity and gave me a career, and I’m completely grateful to everyone involved with this franchise.”
In Enlish, that means: “Please don’t kill me off in the next movie, I need the money.”
