GOSSIP: Megan Fox Fired From Transformers 3!!

Paramount Pictures won’t be picking up Megan Fox’s option on Transformers 3 — and that it was “ultimately” director Michael Bay’s decision. (So he gets his revenge for her remark comparing him to “Hitler”.) Right now, Bay and his writers are finishing up the script for the threequel and “giving Shia [LeBeouf] a new love interest makes more sense for the story,” an insider tells HollywoodBackwash.com. Bay will start casting immediately for the new female co-star.

In case you’ve forgotten how the feud began…Megan promoted Jennifer’s Body in Wonderland magazine by accusing Bay of wanting to “create this insane, infamous mad-man reputation. He wants to be like Hitler on his sets, and he is. So he’s a nightmare to work for.” That statement prompted three crew members to write an open letter and ask Bay to post it on his website.

BREAKING: Megan’s PR team is telling People that “it was her decision not to return,” and that she wishes the cast and crew “all the best.” Sure she does…see you on the Z-list next year!
