“I love Shia to death,” said Megan Fox to Moviefone in Toronto over the weekend. “I love him unconditionally.” Those don’t sound like the words of someone who has been “hit hard,” as Fox said, by the principal players associated with ‘Transformers: Dark of the Moon’ — the summer blockbuster that very famously didn’t feature the former franchise co-star. While Shia LaBeouf and Michael Bay piled on during the press rounds for ‘Transformers,’ Fox remained silent. That’s about to change.
I literally just walked out of ‘Friends With Kids.’ I haven’t had any time to write questions and I can’t even read my notes.
They’re really sloppy. You have very sloppy handwriting. That’s indicative of something.
Like, what’s this word?
“Pun”?
What would that even mean? Why would I write down “pun”?
I’m not sure.
Anyway … we’ll see how this goes.
That’s like a psychiatric emphasis of when you post just random words — free write. Then you read it and you’re like, “Wow, what is wrong with me?”

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.

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.

ROSIE Huntington-Whiteley has played down any rivalry between her and Transformers predecessor Megan Fox.
The sexy star of the blockbuster action franchise says she didn’t even know Megan was being axed when she auditioned for Transformers 3.
“I went to the casting unaware they were looking for a new female lead,” says model-turned-actress Rosie.
“We were told it was for a ‘nemesis’ role and I left thinking I was awful. The next day I was offered the lead! I met with Shia LaBeouf that evening and within three weeks I was on set shooting my first scenes.”
Rosie has now completed filming her role but says she is still sworn to secrecy about how she is to take over from Fox.
“She’s English and is working for the British embassy,” she says. “That’s all I can say.”

Megan Fox may have left the cast of “Transformers 3,” but that doesn’t mean she’s completely snubbing the franchise. In fact, when MTV News caught up with the actress at the Toronto Film Festival, Fox insisted that she plans to check out the latest installment of the fantasy juggernaut.
“I will see it,” Fox said while promoting “Passion Play” at the Toronto International Film Festival. “I’m gonna see it.”
The actress did admit that watching the battle of the ‘bots continue on without her will be fairly odd. “I might be a little jealous when I see somebody kissing my Shia [LaBeouf], wearing my jeans that I … already had been fit for,” Fox conceded. “It’s kind of weird, actually.”
Fox also observed that her replacement, onscreen newcomer and Victoria’s Secret model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, won’t work the leading-lady role quite like her.
“She’s 6 feet tall also, so maybe they’re not the exact same jeans,” Fox quipped about the ad-campaign vet slated to play LaBeouf’s love interest Carly. “But it will be strange.”
As much as the actress admits that a Fox-free “Transformers 3″ will be a little hard for her to handle, her former co-star has pined for her presence as well. While filming the 2011 release, LaBeouf commented earlier this year that he missed Fox’s contributions to the series.
“I love Megan and I miss the girl,” LaBeouf said. “But Sam and [Fox's character] Mikaela became one character, and here … you have discovery again from a new perspective.”

 While it’s easy to speculate when two sexy young stars enjoy an intimate dinner, we hate to break it to you–Megan Fox and Shia LaBeouf are just pals.
Photos of the Transformers stars enjoying a quiet meal before their Los Angeles premiere on Monday sent Internet tongues wagging, wondering if Michael Bay’s topliners were getting romantic.
“They are such nice kids and they had a friendly dinner before their movie,” restaurateur Angelo Peloni sets the record straight with RadarOnline.com.
The owner of La Bruschetta Ristorante in the Westwood section of LA welcomed the two, where he said dinner was strictly platonic.
“They just seemed like old friends having a nice night. They didn’t touch or hold hands or anything. Shia kept telling Megan jokes and funny stories and she was laughing the whole time,” Peloni said.
And to those who think Fox is on a stringent diet for her blockbuster body, think again.
“Megan ate a whole plate of pasta arribiata and had a glass of wine,” her waiter Rob, the owner’s son, tells us.
“She had the chocolate cake for dessert and she ate the entire middle of the cake. Shia had a few bites but she ate most of it!”
LaBeouf snuck outback for a cigarette before returning to pick up the tab for the duo–where we’re assured he tipped generously.
