So it's offical: Megan Fox will not return for the third installment of "Transformers" (i.e. The Movie Series Cinema Romantico Never Has And Never Will See). Naturally this turn of events is being blamed on the voluptuous Ms. Fox publicly bashing the "Transformers" auteur Michael Bay ("He wants to be like Hitler on his sets, and he is") over the head (which Cinema Romantico soundly supported at the time, and still does). After all, you don't piss off the man who made "Armageddon". I mean, really, Megan, you have no idea how high the guy who made "Armageddon" can fly.
Immediately a rep for Megan Fox indicated that, in fact, it was her decision to leave the series. Vulture at NY Magazine suggested this was Ms. Fox's way of "sav(ing) face." Really? Saving face? Are we sure? SHE'S NOT GOING TO BE IN "TRANSFORMERS 3." Shouldn't this be a happy day for her? Shouldn't she be popping some bubbly and binging on chocolate cake?
Perhaps Ms. Fox is more cagey than we assume. Perhaps this was her intention. Think about it. Did she want out of "Transformers" and simply ensure her own demise by flogging the film's director through the press?
I can't believe I'm saying this but today is the one day Cinema Romantico has more respect for Megan Fox than for Frances McDormand. (Also, she scores massive points for the Marilyn Monroe tattoo, which I didn't know she had.)

More importantly, you don't piss off the man who gave you a career ;) They just offered the role to some model named Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. As for Megan Fox, I wouldn't be surprised if she has a hard time finding decent role from now on.
I tailored my post specifically to fit my hatred of Michael Bay, of course so, in seriousness, yeah, Megan probably burned some serious bridges. Have they cast the inevitable "Underworld 4" yet? Maybe she could get in on that one?
If nothing else, I'm sure she can get a reality show on cable. "Foxy Lady" or "Crazy Like a Fox," or "Win a Date with a Fox" come to mind. So, that's still a career, right?
I have predicted before that she would eventually set aside acting to concentrate on a full time career of looking glamorous in gossip magazines. So this might be the first step.
