Looks like Megan Fox and Michael Bay have made up. Tubular!
Bay posted today on his website, “TMNT: We are bringing Megan Fox back into the family,” thereby revealing that he would be working once again with his original Transformers leading lady on the upcoming live-action-CGI-hybrid Ninja Turtles, the upcoming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles action flick that he is coproducing.
Their fanboygasm of a reunion comes close to three years after she left the billion-dollar Transformers franchise, supposedly because of her infamous comment comparing Bay’s directing style to Hitler’s rule.
Bay “wants to be like Hitler on his sets, and he is. So, he’s a nightmare to work for,” Fox told Wonderland magazine in 2010, after which Rosie Huntington-Whiteley was cast in Transformers: Dark of the Moon.
The director cracked to GQ the following year that producer Steven Spielberg was the one who said to get rid of Fox ASAP because of “you know, the Hitler thing.”
But apparently that whole Michael Bay-Megan Fox thing is water under the bridge.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, Fox will play the Turtles’ best human pal, April O’Neil, in Paramount’s Ninja Turtles, which is supposed to be based on the original TMNT comic book series that debuted in 1984.
Wrath of the Titans helmer Jonathan Liebesman is onboard to direct.
Meanwhile, Fox obviously isn’t done with acting quite yet. The new mom said in the March issue of Marie Claire U.K.: “It’s very hard for me to do stuff, because I feel like it isn’t my job anymore. My job is to be with [my son, Noah].”

Who knew people liked hot girls on the Internet? Facebook has released its “Memology 2011″ report, and it turns out Megan Fox and Rihanna both surged in popularity this year thanks to millions of “Likes” on the 7-year-old social network.
With more than 29 million fans, Fox’s official page was named the fastest-growing entertainment page, while Rihanna’s page won the music category with more than 47 million “Likes.” Rihanna also had the most-played song on Facebook with “We Found Love,” which was followed by Katy Perry’s “Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.).”
While Rihanna had a big year with two albums charting on Billboard, a massive tour and a few key guest spots, Megan Fox’s surging popularity is a little more perplexing. Did people just feel bad for her unappreciated work on Passion Play? We thought for sure her popularity would take a hit after Rosie Huntington-Whiteley took her place in the Transformers franchise, but Fox is as popular as ever.
In other metrics measured in the new report, Charlie Sheen made the list of Facebook’s top trends found in people’s status updates, but the top two spots were both reserved for some very Facebook language: “lms” (like my status) and “tbh” (to be honest). Check out the full report here.

The verdict is in: 11-year-old boys prefer Megan Fox in short shorts battling shape-shifting alien robots to Rosie Huntington-Whiteley.
It’s been more than a week since the release of Transformers: Dark of the Moon, and while a smash, it’s still way behind Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. The gorgeous wife of Brian Austin Green, nevertheless, didn’t help her cause by calling her director, Michael Bay, a “Nazi.”
The current movie has earned about $40 million less than the previous installment of the popular franchise during the same time period, according to wwtdd.com.
The Victoria’s Secret babe Huntington-Whiteley has never acted before, so she makes her brunette predecessor look like Cate Blanchett in comparison.
Laying all the blame on Huntington-Whiteley may be unfair, and Shia LaBeouf’s embarrassing actions while promoting Dark of the Moon didn’t help, but the film would have performed better with Fox in the role of Mikaela Banes.
Bay may be a dictator on the set, but his only choice was to replace Fox once Steven Spielberg said she had to go.
Even in Australia, the new Transformers is lagging. While it’s posted the tenth largest opening ever “down under,” Revenge of the Fallen remains fourth on the list.

Transformers actors Josh Duhamel and Tyrese Gibson have revealed that Megan Fox, who was sacked from the third installment of the sci-fi series, has been wrongly perceived.
The two stars expressed regret that Fox’s falling out with director Michael Bay led to her being replaced by newcomer Rosie Huntington-Whiteley.
“We all miss Megan. She’s a good girl. She’s not the way she’s been perceived,” the New York Daily News quoted Duhamel as telling E! Online.
Gibson added that he personally “never had an issue” with the actress, whom he described as “a sweet girl”.
“It’s always been good. I know people are talking a lot of mess about her, but I just hope she has a strong stomach,” he stated.

Tyrese Gibson has confessed that he misses working with Megan Fox on the Transformers franchise.
Fox left the series following the second Transformers film after allegedly being axed over comments she made about director Michael Bay. She was replaced by British model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley.
Gibson, who reprised his role as USAF Tech Sergeant Epps in the latest Transformers installment Transformers: Dark of the Moon, told PopEater that Fox’s absence from the movie saddens him as they had worked together from the beginning.
“Having a franchise that she’s been a part of from the beginning, and not being able to have her on board is probably the most difficult,” he explained.
“Sometimes things don’t work out, but I wish her well. In business, her career, her personal life.”
Gibson also admitted to trading insults with Michael Bay during shooting over his “demanding” and “aggressive” methods.

Last year, when news broke that Megan Fox would no longer appear in the “Transformers” film franchise, the actress insisted it was because she had decided to “not to return.” But film director Michael Bay says it was her controversial comments that cost her the role that made her famous.
“You know the Hitler thing. Steven (Spielberg) said, ‘fire her right now,’” the Daily Mail quoted Bay as saying.
Back in 2009, Fox infamously compared Bay to Hitler on set.
“He’s like Napoleon and he wants to create this insane, infamous mad-man reputation,” she said. “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.”
Fox was later replaced with Victoria’s Secret model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley.

Shia LaBeouf speaks out about his ex-onscreen-love interest, Megan Fox, and discusses how the on-set ‘Transformers: Dark of the Moon’ vibe was different with Rosie Huntington-Whiteley.
In the aftermath of the Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen critical lashing and lackluster reaction from many fans (despite enormous commercial success), director Michael Bay was caught-up in a number of uncomfortable conversations. While the negative reaction to the infamous robot Twins, Skids and Mudflap continues to rage-on, the exit of Megan Fox, Bay’s leading lady (whose career the director essentially jump-started) was arguably the most awkward – and left a lot of uncertainty as to what affect the departure would have on Transformers: Dark of the Moon.
Following the casting of Bay’s new Victoria’s Secret model-turned-leading lady, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, and with the next Transformers film less than one month away, cast member Shia LaBeouf is discussing how Fox’s departure affected the Transformers: Dark of the Moon on-set vibe.
Speaking with Hero Complex, LaBeouf certainly indicates that Huntington-Whiteley improved the Transformers work environment, but it’s somewhat hard to tell whether or not either of the high-profile actresses (or potentially Bay himself) will take his comments as praise or a slight.
“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.’”
While the comment is obviously tongue-in-cheek, LaBeouf paints an uncomfortable picture of a Transformers shooting day – not to mention the potentially inflammatory description of Bay “filming women in a way that appeals to a 16-year-old sexuality.” Obviously, LaBeouf is just calling it like he sees it, but it’s unwise to assume that Bay will just go ahead and take the assertion as a charming compliment. Similarly, LeBeouf seems to be, at some level, praising Fox for being an empowered leading lady – while at the same time undermining that strength by comparing her to a Spice Girl and asserting that, as a result, she was difficult to work with and incompatible with Bay’s approach to filmmaking.

Diablo Cody was asked what movies she’s looking forward to seeing this Summer and Transformers 3 is not on the list.
“I’m boycotting Transformers 3 because it’s Megan-free. I have to. I’m a huge Megan Fox loyalist. I adore her, and I loved her chemistry with Shia. No offense to, uh, Rosie Huntington Whiteley, she looks like a lovely girl — but I feel like Megan brought a special sparkle to that series. I mean, it’s pretty unprecedented for an actress to talk shit about a director like that, so I can kind of see why Michael Bay got pissed off. It’s his prerogative. But Megan will be missed.”
