Trust Me; This Is a Good Thing

Megan Fox won't be in Transformers 3. This works for both parties:

  1. Transformers is, in part, about big honking' robots beating the shit out of each other while us puny humans try not to get squashed or vaporized. It's also about showing how despite their technological advancements, Autobots and Decepticons have noticeable human characteristics. You got a sense of both in the first movie; the second one? Not so much. Part of that was because the director decided to include Jar-Jar Binks-like robots, but part of it was also due to the movie dealing with non-Transformer-related issues like Sam trying to have a web cam date with his girlfriend. A single Sam is a more compelling character, and the franchise will be better for it.
  2. Fox got what she wanted out of this: exposure. She can now pretty much have her pic of projects, and unlike most celebrities who are known more for their looks that their acting ability, she didn't have to star in a reality show or "accidentally" lose a sex tape to get it (photos are, um, a different matter). She has a chance, similar to Dolly Parton and Pamela Anderson, to play up her sex appeal in different projects without completely demeaning herself (*cough-cough*) or being known for just having a nice rack (*cough-cough*). And she can also take the opportunity to shed this "Oh, she's just a younger Angelina Jolie" thing (Personally, I always thought of Fox as being Shannen Doherty 2.0).
And also, let's face it: the girl was bad-mouthing the movies so much I thought she was channeling Katherine Heigl.

UPDATE: Fox says it was her decision.

Five Actresses Who Should Be Considered For A Wonder Woman Movie

For being DC Comic's most recognizable female character, WW has been given the cinematic shaft for a long time. We've seen two incarnations of Lois Lane and countless Bat-groupies, but not one decent pitch for the Amazon in the big screen. And we're talking about a character who made armored underwear cool waaay before anyone heard of Princess Leia. So here's one humble man's suggestion for any future casting of the Wonder Woman movie. I really have three rules for casting: she has to be at least 5'10", under 45 and attractive enough to pass for a princess. Sandrine Holt - Age: 36, Height: 5'10", Relevant Movie/TV Roles: Resident Evil: Apocalypse & Mutant X Pros : She's played both a (doomed) reporter and a person with superpowers, so if she can play both, she's a shoe-in. Plus she's probably the least-known actress on this list, so they can two movies out of her cheap. Cons : While D.C. isn't as star-crazy as Marvel when it co...

Being the avid movie watcher that I am, I've noticed that more than one talented actress has been passed over for other talent. And by "talent," I mean, "sex tapes that 'accidentally' made it to the Internet." Well, here's one man's humble attempt to rectify the situation. The following ladies are not only talented, but beautiful. Hollywood: get off your ass and give these women more roles. DANIELLE FISHEL Noticeable TV/Movie Appearances: Boy Meets World; both National Lampoon's Dorm Dazes The delightful Ms. Fishel has the distinction of having the weirdest named ever associated with a smart-yet-hot character (or maybe I'm the only one who has a problem saying "Topanga!" whilst in the throes of passion) as well as participating in the death of the National Lampoon Series (I personally thought it died with Chevy Chase's career; who knew?). If you were to use her IMBD page as a reference, the only real fault people seem to hav...
