Megan Fox has stated that she is going to focus her energy on getting more roles in comedy movies, as she feels that, that is where she is best suited.

The gorgeous actress, who recently appeared on the Broadway stage  is set to take a little time off for the holidays but intends to pursue more comedic roles after the start of the year.
She has been praised by Leslie Mann, who worked with her on  This Is Forty. Leslie pointed out that Megan is very funny, something which many people seem to believe. Fox explained, “I’m sort of on a comedy kick. After a month’s rest, I think I’m gonna do maybe a few more comedy films. Everybody that knows me thinks I’m funny.”

Megan Fox is next set to appear on the big screen, alongside Anna Faris, Sacha Baron Cohen and John C. Reilly in the comedy The Dictator, which is released on May 11, 2012 in the US and May 18, 2012 in the UK. Megan will then appear in another comedy, alongside Leslie Mann, Jason Segel and Paul Rudd in This Is Forty, which is set to be released on December 21, 2012.

Here’s another reviewer of the new Transformers movie who notices the glaring absence of Megan:

(The reviewer’s talking about the movie’s weaknesses): However, the whole thing began as a story about a boy who wants a car that’ll impress the hottest girl in school. Fox, as the anti-establishment daughter of a convicted felon and who isn’t at all intimated by policemen, soldiers, Men in Black or alien invaders, is a hell of a lot more interesting than Victoria’s Secret model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, who couldn’t be any duller if she tried. If there’s a single fatal element in the film, it’s not the accented, wisecracking robots — I can buy, knowing they’re pretty much trapped on our world, that some might adopt human vernacular — it’s that Sam Witwicky could ever date someone so bland after the fiery Fox.

Like this summer’s other power sequel Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, Dark of the Moon is a perfectly acceptable summer popcorn movie and won’t be fatal to its franchise. But if Bay expects to wring one more out, he either needs to bend over (and not necessarily backwards) to get Fox back, or get LaBeouf another girlfriend with some nuts and bolts.  – From Free-Times

More controversy and publicity surrounding Megan Fox and Transformers. Hmmm, so soon before the new movie comes out. How ironic, right?

They’re STILL using Megan Fox to generate publicity!

“She was in a different world, on her BlackBerry. You gotta stay focused. And you know, the Hitler thing. Steven [Spielberg] said, ‘Fire her right now,’” Bay said in a recent interview.

The “Hitler thing” refers to comments Megan Fox made in British magazine Wonderland, saying Bay liked to run his set in the style of the dictator.

“I wasn’t hurt, because I know that’s just Megan. Megan loves to get a response. And she does it in kind of the wrong way.”

“I’m sorry, Megan. I’m sorry I made you work 12 hours. I’m sorry that I’m making you show up on time,” Bay told GQ, which profiled him and many of his longtime collaborators, including current star Shia LaBeouf.

“Criticism is one thing,” LaBeouf said of Fox. “Then there’s public name-calling, which turns into high school bashing. Which you can’t do. She started [crap] -talking our captain.”

Wow. I thought Shia was supposed to be a friend of Megan’s. Friends don’t talk [crap] about friends, though, so I’m guessing he’s not much of one.

Shia LaBeouf recently had this to say about Megan Fox, Michael Bay, and the new girl.

“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 said. “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.’”

As you probably already know, Megan Fox is out of Transformer’s 3. Yesterday, word everywhere was that Michael Bay had exacted revenge on Megan by demanding that she be recast.

Now, PEOPLE reports that it was actually Megan Fox’s decision not to return to ‘Transformers.’

“Megan Fox will not be starring in ‘Transformers 3,’” say Fox’s reps. “It was her decision not to return. She wishes the franchise the best.”

Word is that Gemma Arterton is a front-runner to be the new female lead in the movie.

Megan Fox apparently had a minor request for Transformers 3… She wanted to look less “orange!”

“Megan hated her look in the last movie,” a source said. “Her character has more to do this time and is stronger but the thing Megan is most happy about is she’s not nearly as orange. It’s a big victory for her.”

More important things than fake tans are on Megan’s mind, though.

“Despite her reputation as a Hollywood sex symbol, Megan is actually quite grounded and keen to settle down. She and Brian have discussed the idea of marriage and babies — and both are keen,” a source said.

“Megan says she’d like to be married by the time she’s 25 — and a baby would be a bonus. She’s very maternal and gets on really well with Brian’s son Kassius. She’d love to have a child of her own.”

Click the following link for a great interview MTV did with producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura – .

In the interview, he talks about the possibility of Transformers 3 being in 3D as well as the relationship between Megan Fox and Michael Bay. Great stuff!

The news surrounding Transformers 3 just keeps getting better and better. Two of my favorite stars have been added to the cast:  Frances McDormand and John Malkovich. You’ll remember these stars from the Coen Brothers hysterical ‘Burn After Reading.’  Frances McDormand played a sweet, timid  gym employee who spends most of the film hatching plans to make money for her plastic surgery and John Malkovich played a CIA analyst who is fired and decides to write some expose memoir.

John Malkovich (love him, love him, love him) will also be in Jonah Hex.  This versatile, talented actor has been a personal favorite of mine since I can remember.  One of my favorite John Malkovich roles was Athos in The Man in the Iron Mask.   He’s perfect, so there!

The addition of these two outstanding comedic actors would suggest a level of humor in T3, and since Michael Bay does humor brilliantly, I can’t wait.

The script for Transformers 3 is finished, which is exciting news all by itself… But it gets even better. Josh Duhamel is now officially on board for the movie – joining Megan Fox, Shia Labeouf and Tyrese Gibson. I was getting pretty nervous about him!

I’m just hope, hope, hoping that T3 has a lot more of Tyrese, Josh, the ‘rents, and my guy Bumblebee. T2 was kind of disappointing with all of the co-eds and the lack of the core characters from the first movie. Hopefully this one will be more like the original.

Filming for Transformers 3 will begin this summer.   Transformers 3 is scheduled to hit theaters on July 1, 2011.  Bring it on!

MichaelBay.com has posted some Transformers 3 news.   The much-anticipated movie is shooting in the states as well as overseas.   Action-packed scenes will be shot in Chicago and Moscow. How spectacular does that sound?!

In a pairing that was made in theater Heaven, Michael Bay and Steven Spielberg are working on the plot for this Transformers saga.   It’s scheduled to be in theaters July 1, 2011.

Thankfully Shia LaBeouf, Megan Fox and Tyrese Gibson are all returning.  I’m hoping Josh Duhamel does as well.

Is it too much to hope that Bumblebee will be featured more in this Transformers movie? And no more alien campus chicks. I can’t even tell you how much I despised her!
