Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is the new Megan Fox (in Transformers)

wenn5472915

Just let me note this at the beginning – these are just rumors. Nothing has been confirmed. But two sources – one British, one American – are running with the story that British underwear model and professional starf-cker Rosie Huntington-Whiteley will be replacing Megan Fox in Transformers 3. Megan was either fired or she quit, no one is really sure, but Michael Bay needed someone pretty and dumb to much wits with green screens on short notice. So much for my dream-casting of Jessica Biel or Mila Kunis. Geek Week (I know, SO reliable) claims it’s a done deal, as does The Sun:

MOVE over MEGAN, there’s a new FOX in town. Jaw-droppingly gorgeous ROSIE HUNTINGTON-WHITELEY will take over as the leading lady in upcoming blockbuster Transformers 3. The British Victoria’s Secret model, 23, has been offered the role in the sequel – after Megan sensationally quit the franchise last week.

Director MICHAEL BAY reportedly came to blows with the actress over her plummeting weight. Her slender physique sparked concern and “unhealthy” Megan was ordered to put on weight, sources claimed.

Rosie – who has notched up the bedpost with OLIVIER MARTINEZ and JASON STATHAM – has NO acting credentials to date.

When Megan was cast back in 2007 for the first Transformers flick, she had already made several TV appearances and starred in Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen with LINDSAY LOHAN.

Rosie follows in the footsteps of Bond girl OLGA KURYLENKO and HALLE BERRY, who also made the leap from catwalk to silver screen.

Despite rumours Megan was sacked from the film, her spokesman insisted: “Megan Fox will not be starring in Transformers 3. It was her decision not to return.”

[From The Sun]

Well, I guess we know what Rosie was doing over the weekend – washing Michael’s Bay’s Ferrari. On her knees. Other than that, I don’t really know much about this Rosie chick other than she’s sort of a big deal in England. Like, men drool over her and women wish they had her figure? I guess. She’s pretty, she’s got a nice body, but if I wasn’t looking at a picture of her I wouldn’t be able to pick her out of a lineup. Here’s her Wikipedia page, if you care. Something tells me I’m going to be missing Megan Fox.

    Don’t forget Jessica Lange (& many other models who went into acing).

    Maybe Michael Bay is making a point to Megan about her “talent.”

  2. Melanie says:

    She has the smug face down pat.

  3. Gaga Fab says:

    are you serious? she looks weird..not even close to the hottness of Megan Fox. I have noticed that the women British men go nuts for look quite ordinary compared to American women.., For example, Lilly Allen, Victoria Beckham, I know there are much better looking Brit women than those girls but in general they do not produce the stunners that Americans do. Now the British men are quite hot..but I feel the women are average

  4. Amneh says:

    She has very unique lips, full yet an emphasised cupid’s bow.

  5. Crash2GO2 says:

    What an odd upper lip she has. Other than that, total stunner!

  6. fizXgirl314 says:

    ok that conceited look on her face and perpetual pucker makes me want megan fox back… what happened to a little humility?

  7. Steeze says:

    @Gaga Fab

    Seriously, you think she looks weird??? She’s drop dead gorgeous. If this girl walk passed you, you wouldn’t take a second look? You’re effing kidding me.

  8. Elizabeth says:

    unique lips… that’s putting it nicely

  9. fizXgirl314 says:

    I should say humbleness, not humility… these models strut around like they’re the shit, it’s a little off putting…

  10. Julie says:

    Stunning. If this one is a 10, in my opinion, Megan (with all the plastic work and fillers) is a 7.5. Hands down on this one!!!!

  11. Geneva says:

    Over plumped speed bump of an upper lip. I’m so much better than you snarky snarl – trading up or down – you decide.

  12. flourpot says:

    She does have nice lips. Wonder if they’re real…

  13. Ruby Red Lips says:

    @ Gaga – I find your comments on Brit women really stupid – there are plenty of stunning Brit women who are naturally beautiful w/o the American obsession of plastic surgery resulting in plastic barbie doll clones, and visa versa there are still plenty of beautiful natural American women…

    Open your eyes & mind!

  14. bellaluna says:

    On to the important stuff: WTF is she doing with my lover, Jason Statham?

  15. Snarf says:

    What the hell is wrong with her upper lip?

    Oh, and way to post something that you’ll have to back-track or update later. This chick is NOT replacing Megan Fox.

  16. Kat says:

    Hey, Cheryl Cole is a beautiful British woman!

  17. Janeth says:

    I think she’s gorgeous! I find her lips unique and just lovely… Jealousy is such an awful trait. Megan Fox, who?

  18. LolaBella says:

    Ooh Jason Statham…Yum!

    You could have also included a pic of Olivier Martinez…you know, purely for the purpose of helping me to fully appreciate this post. 😉

    That said, she’s beautiful and I like her lips.

    I still say that Michael Bay should hire Summer Glau for this role; she would be perfect!

  19. LindyLou says:

    Looks like Michael Bay has a “type”.

  20. Miranda Ann says:

    It really doesn’t matter who takes the “girl” role in this pic, does it? I do have to say that Rosie is beautiful. But, really, is Megan Fox skinnier than a model? I don’t think that’s the reason she is no longer in the pic.

  21. cult of skaro 23 says:

    Wait, Mila Kunis?

    what do you have against Jackie/Meg Griffin

  22. Oi says:

    Can’t tell she ever modeled. *sarcasm* I don’t mean to be hateful, but this woman and Meghan both look dumber than door nails. Maybe its just the expression.

  23. jover says:

    Check out Rose on Fashion Model Directory better pics. I don’t know whether she can act but it’s Transformer’s 3 not Shakespeare; she’ll get the teenagers in a jumble and that’s all that’s needed. I think she’s hotter than Fox, but sadly probably as dumb as a bag of paper clips in a Wal-Mart – like Megzy. Bay’s sticking to type.

  24. Jimmy Dean says:

    No matter, Michael Bay couldn’t direct a two car parade down a one way street.

  25. Meimei says:

    …Is she drunk and/or high in all of these photos?

    Anyway, I think she’d fulfill the role as well as Megan, and we’d still get some amazing quotes.

  26. Mistral says:

    She is very beautiful.

    And she has good taste in men…

  27. nnn says:

    She is a natural brunette and she looks much better with darker hair.

    I think she looks like a cross between Gisèle Budchen and the other VS brasilian model Ana Beatriz Barros

    Here are some of her best pictures :

    I think she looks better than Megan, more exotic looking, athletic and less trash. And since this role requires a kleenex starlet with a pretty face and great body, i don’t think she will be worst than Megan anyway and can fit that role.

  28. Jen says:

    Cute, but the lips ruin it for me. I guess I don’t find the ‘I’ve been punched in the lip’ look becoming of anyone.

  29. Jo 'Mama' Besser says:

    Whatever happened to Estella Warren?

  30. Kim says:

    Ugh! Not a pretty girl (is it a girl? she looks alot like a boy). Her agent needs to tell her to stop with the lip injections or get a better person doing them. Her top lip looks vulgar and you can see all the fat that was injected.

  31. Kim says:

    Is it me or does she look like a poor mans Cameron Diaz?

  32. danielle says:

    My bf is not going to be happy – he loves Megan Fox and I don’t think this new one will pass muster.

  33. Majosha says:

    Kim, I totally agree. Her lips really are vulgar, and even a little clownish. Maybe this new gig will come with a more capable plastic surgeon (or whoever injects lips).

  34. city says:

    she looks wasted in a couple of the pics…

  35. cristy says:

    her top lip looks really strange- like filler yet wrinkled!

  36. e-non says:

    wonder what she had to do to get the part. bet it involved her lips.

  37. nnn says:

    lol @36 !

    Well you know what Megan once said : ‘I have a big mouth and i know how to use it’…

  38. nnn says:

    Her lips are pretty when she doesn’t accentue the pucker lips.

    She has those same exact lips as Ana Beatriz Barros, less rounder than Estella Warren but yet still feminine.

    She is no Esther Canadas whose lips are not beautiful in terms of shape, fullness, ect.

  39. Bee says:

    Well I think we all know women in Michael Bay’s films aren’t required to actually act. They just have to run around, look sexy while sweaty/dirty, and wax Michael’s d*ck, I’m sorry car, until it shines.

  40. Juice in LA says:

    JEEBUS! she looks like she could give Optimus Prime herpes, just by looking at him. Poor thing, Michael Bay clearly preying on dirty dirties now.

  41. Ruffian9 says:

    Jason Statham!!

  42. BabyCakes says:

    She’s got a wonky eye, over plumped lips.. guess Jason has a type too… Damn!

  43. Boombeeba says:

    She’s attractive, I’d be a hater to sit here & say she looks like minced meat, but on the other hand I think IF she is the true replacement for Megan Fox I’ll chalk that up to an EPIC FAIL

  44. crash2GO2 says:

    “her top lip looks really strange- like filler yet wrinkled!”

    I’ll wager it’s because they are natural and not, in fact, filled with plumpers. Gals with plumped lips don’t usually have wrinkles at all, the skin is too stretched.

  45. Dj says:

    Great, they have replaced one slut with another one. That makes all kinds of sense.

  46. lena says:

    well since we are talking about lips…i’m a new fan of samantha harris, a new aborginal model

    http://www.whatsonxiamen.com/ent1427.html

  47. Kat says:

    She looks like Matt Smith in drag. Ugh.

  48. gen says:

    Are those lips real!??! (yes, I’m sure they are) I can’t compete with that! She’s stunning *sigh*

  49. Sally says:

    Ahh, Rosie is gorgeous!

  50. Confuzzle says:

    Wonky eyes

  51. Gaga Fab says:

    to all those who thinks my comments about British female hotness vs American female hotness is wrong , I dare you to Find me 5 hot famous British actresses who are working currently in movies, and compare them to 5 hot American actresses currrently in movies and then tell me which ones look best. And yes, our actresses do have tons of surgery, but so do British actresses. They are just not as hot, even when they get work done. They are great actresses and sometimes better than we are but they in general do not look better. Our movie stars look 10 times better than the Brit female movie stars. It has nothing to do with me not having an open mind.

  52. lway says:

    OMG – She’s banging Jason Statham? ……… he is so hot. She’s so NOT.

    “Jaw-droppingly gorgeous” – I DON’T THINK SO!!!

  53. Ruby Red Lips says:

    @ Gaga – Beauty is subjective…think about that if you can understand what that may mean – but if thats what you believe then I hope you live a very happy life with your ‘special’ view on life…

  54. cedar falls says:

    “Find me 5 hot famous British actresses who are working currently in movies, and compare them to 5 hot American actresses”.

    Catherine Zeta Jones, Kate Winslet, Rachel Weitz, Gemma Arteton, Emily Blunt.

    Angelina Jolie, Halle Berry, Megan Fox, Jessica Biel, Jessica Alba.

    I’ll concede that the second group probably features higher on Maxim’s Top 100, but I always thought the main qualification required to be an actress was the ability to, y’know, actually ACT…

  55. nnn says:

    The US has 5 times more the population of the UK and benefit from many more import and mixity from all over tyhe world, so you will find more different type of beauty and mixity.

    But they are brittish actresses who are still today consider among the most beautiful. And even if they resort to plastic surgeries it doesn’t get to the amount the likes of the American and Brasilian actresses.

    Among the famous brittish beauties : Elizabeth Taylor(yes she was born brittish in London from american parents whose background were also jewish brittish, hence she had the dual nationality from the get go), Joan Collins, Oliva Newton-John (born Brittish, raised in Australia and then got australia citizenship)

    More in modern times : Jacqueline Bisset, Lesley Ann-Down, Elizabeth Hurley, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Kate Beckinsale, Kim Catrall, Emma Samms, Nicolette Sheridan. Those women at their best could compete with anyone, american actresses included.

    In the male department : Sean Connery, Roger Moore, Christian bale, Gerard Butler, Timothy Dalton, Maxwell Caulfield, Daniel Craig, Daniel Day-Lewis …

    I beleive that they are many more british actors who most people think they are american because they are based inin the US, since it is the mecca of the movie industry.

    Besides, just like in the US, there are also less beautiful actors.

    ____

    Lisa Rinna’s lips are plumped and still have wrinkles, I suppose it depends on the filler injected and on how many injections the lips get.
    Those lips are plumped, overdone, ugly and vulgar, no cute at all IMHO.

  57. Maritimer says:

    Meh….She does nothing for me.
    I think it’s the nose (too big/wide).
    Yes, I am being petty, and superficial. Aware. But this is Hollywood, she is getting paid, and I can criticize all I want.

    If I were Megan Fox I’d be pretty damn smug about this pick -this Rosie chick isn’t even in the same league as her.

    I am not a Fox fan by any means – I think she is of less than average intelligence, has zero acting ability, and has a sense of entitlement that rivals the queen. But the girl is beautiful, and no one can deny that.

  58. B says:

    Eww. I think her pr/agent people got Google alerts on this posting and made some of the initial positive comments.

  59. heavenasia says:

    her top lip scares me

  60. artbitch says:

    Arguing over which country has the hotter women? Seriously? Beauty is subjective anyway, the long haired, slender, tanned look isn’t to everyone’s tastes. As to saying Britain doesn’t “produce stunners like America”, piss off. That is a very blinkered view and makes you sound a bit silly. Every country has beautiful women, end of.

    That said, Rosie Stupidpointlessname’s mouth looks like a cat’s arsehole to me.

  61. Lenore says:

    Erm, she’s “big in England”? Except not so much. I’ve never even heard of her before. Sorry. 🙂

  62. Sharonkings says:

    Can we get an actress who isnt pasty as hell in Transformers. First Megan, now her! (Megan is gorgeous tho)

  63. Mouse says:

    @Kat-LOL! I love Matt, she does look like she could be his sister. Or Matt’s feminine version!

  64. california angel says:

    ya she looks like a botched plastic surgery gone worse

  65. nj says:

    Wait a second.. So they’re hiring a MODEL to the leading female role so they get someone even hotter than Megan Ho Fox? What the heck, so women get hired only by their looks? How about kicking Shia out and hiring some super hot model guy? That would NEVER happen…

    Yeah, this is the equality today.

  66. lala says:

    HEY! maybe she’s got some african in her blood!!

    Those pouty lips are Killer. Hotness!

  67. ruben says:

    she hottest girl alive or megan fox
