Megan, I've Missed You!

Ah, Megan Fox is back - at least in spirit. The spouter of copious bon mots has been quiet since her replacement in the Transformer franchise. Time has passed and now something has happened I never thought possible - I grew to miss that mouthy bitch. Today my prayers have been answered, albeit in the form of Shia LeBeouf. Shia is speaking out about his former costar and he has some big news - it turns out Ms. Fox is a feminist and that's why she got fired by Michael Bay! Yes, I'm sure it was her deep-rooted belief in women's rights and not the fact that she compared her boss to Hitler that got her canned. Slap my ass and call me Flo - or not, if Megan doesn't approve. Details, via the Los Angeles Times:

["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," LaBeouf said. "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.'"]

It's nice of Shia to stick up for Megan - even though odds are slim that he'd suffer any fallout from voicing her defense. I do like his reasoning that Fox's replacement is an underwear model, so she's fine with sticking out her tits and ass. Makes sense to me! Will Shia's "knight in shining armor" act help revive Megan's career or are we damned to re-watch Transformers 1 & 2 for all eternity in order to get our fix? This one's a nail-biter, for sure!
