I’ve added new captures of Megan Fox in her film Passion Play which I’ve had on my laptop for quite some time. Since I haven’t made a gallery update in quite some time I decided to add them to the gallery.

Megan Fox says she wants to watch Transformers 3 – despite being sacked from the films.
The 25-year-old was replaced by Rosie Huntington Whitely, but is still a fan of the films and is still a friend of former co-star Shia LaBeouf.

“I haven’t seen it yet but I want to,” says Megan.

“It’s not like I didn’t want to see it because I did. The trailer looked awesome but I didn’t want to go to a crowded theater and watch it because of how that may have looked.

“I have no problem with Transformers or Shia (LaBeouf). He’s a great guy and I still count him as a friend.”

Megan Fox is diving headfirst into her role in the upcoming comedy This Is Forty.

The 25-year-old actress shared a behind-the-scenes photo with costars Chris O’Dowd, 31, and Jason Segel, 31, on Facebook Saturday, calling them “two very handsome, very tall, very funny men.”

Though Fox showed off her healthier new curves on Wednesday, she kept her figure hidden while posing underwater in the pool.

The Judd Apatow flick, which revolves around Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann’s characters from the 2007 smash Knocked Up, also stars Melissa McCarthy, John Lithgow, Maude Apatow and Ava Sambora.

“Megan is hilarious,” Rudd, 42, recently told E! News. “I don’t know if people don’t realize that, but she is really really funny.”

Who wants to see Megan Fox all Knocked Up?

Well, now you can.

No, she’s not pregnant, but…

Fox was spotted earlier this week in Los Angeles filming This Is Forty, Judd Apatow’s Knocked Up sequel that revolves around Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann’s characters from the hit comedy.

Fox has a costarring role, but details about her character remain a mystery. During the outdoor shoot, she looked healthy and not as thin as she has been in the past. She wore what looked like brown leather lace-up shorts, a simple black tank top and brown leather and zipper heels.

“Megan is hilarious,” Rudd told me last night at the Nylon Guys and WeSC party at Gjelina restaurant in Venice. “I don’t know if people don’t realize that, but she is really really funny.”

Fox’s comedic chops aside, I’d be remiss not to tell you what Rudd had to say when I asked him about wearing a long hair wig for his latest movie, Our Idiot Brother (out Aug. 26).

“I used to have long hair when I was 18 until about 22,” he said. “It wasn’t a hippie thing. I was hoping to look like Michael Hutchence from INXS. I pretty much didn’t cut my hair for four years.”

We don’t know too much about Judd Apatow’s “Knocked Up” spin-off movie project, other than the fact that it centers around lovable/slightly dysfunctional couple Pete (Paul Rudd) and Debbie (Leslie Mann), a few years after the events that occur in the Katherine Heigl, Seth Rogen pregnancy comedy. Also, if we know one thing about Apatow comedies, it is more than likely that a slew of famous faces will appear in the film, be it in a supporting or cameo role.
Apatow has been cagey about revealing any more casting or cameo details, but one interesting addition that was actually announced back in March is Megan Fox, and although we don’t yet know who she plays in the film, star Leslie Mann assured us that she is a welcome addition to the cast.

“Megan Fox is so funny,” she told us Monday night at the Los Angeles premiere of “The Change-Up.” “She’s hilarious. You wouldn’t, I don’t know if other people [expect it], but I think she’s really funny, you’ll be pleasantly surprised.”

So who does she play in the film?

“I can’t say that part,” she said with a smile, backing up her husband’s comments earlier this year regarding spoilers.

“The rest is a secret because it doesn’t come out until 2012 and if you already knew what it was about for a year and a half, you wouldn’t even want to see it,” he told us. “There will be people who are really interesting in the movie,” he teased. “And some familiar people who are in the movie.”

Why is all the press surrounding the new Transformers movie about Megan Fox, who isn’t even in the movie? Is this the studio’s plan?
—Junebug, Atlanta, via the inbox

It’s a delicious conspiracy theory, isn’t it? We imagine a smoky back room, filled with studio execs. They take a look at the final cut of Dark of the Moon, wail and moan as their eyes bleed out of their sockets, and then decide to market the whole mess by trashing franchise refugee Megan Fox.

So is this what happened? I asked around:

Likely, not.

Yes, by many accounts, this is not a good movie, even by blockbuster-sequel standards. It bows this week—but it’s gotten a stinky 39 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes. CNN is calling it “lousy,” Rolling Stone warns that viewers run the risk of “dying a little inside,” and my buddy Garth Franklin at Dark Horizons went so far as to say that watching the film was like “being urinated upon.” The biggest complaint: that despite all the exploding robots, the story is just empty. There is no there, there.

Still, it’s unlikely that the studio behind the film orchestrated its marketing campaign around trashing Megan Fox. Publicists are evil, but they’re not, I am told, that evil.

“I think that it’s a little too much of a conspiracy theory,” posits Rachel Hill, a former personal publicist and the current director of marketing at American World Pictures, which is about to shoot a new Danny Glover film.

“I doubt that anything like that would be formally approved by any studio,” Scott Donaton of the marketing group Ensemble agrees.

That said, don’t be shocked if the movie’s principle star, Shia LaBeouf, did think through his Fox-trashing in advance, Hill says.

“Did Shia have to answer those questions about him and Megan Fox?” Hill notes. “Was it necessary? Maybe he did it to raise his profile a bit.

“I’ve had clients in the past who, when scandals have come out, we didn’t deny things. In fact we kept the scandal going because it kept our clients in the public eye.”

Now that’s a fun conspiracy theory.

Josh speaks out about Megan and how everyone misses her on the set.

Uh, who could blame them?

Shia LaBeouf admits that he hooked up with Megan Fox while making the Transformers films — and he’s not sure whether or not his sexy costar was attached at the time to then-boyfriend Brian Austin Green, now her husband.

Nodding in the affirmative about a hookup with Fox, LaBeouf explains in a new Details mag interview, “Look, you’re on the set for six months, with someone who’s rooting to be attracted to you, and you’re rooting to be attracted to them.”

Without giving specific dates or details, the 25-year-old actor (now dating Hollywood stylist Karolyn Pho) continues of the fling: “I never understood the separation of work and life in that situation. But the time I spent with Megan was our own thing, and I think you can see the chemistry onscreen.”

When Details asks him about Fox’s status at the time with Green, he sputters. “I don’t know, man. I don’t know. I don’t know. I don’t know,” he says, repeating “I don’t know” eight more times. “It was what it was.”

Fox, 25, wed on-and-off beau Green one year ago in Hawaii. She was famously replaced by Rosie Huntington-Whiteley for Transformers: Dark of the Moon, out next month. (Director Michael Bay and LaBeouf recently confirmed that Fox’s controversial comments about Bay, comparing him to Hitler, got her dropped from the franchise — at the direct order of executive producer Steven Spielberg.)

LaBeouf also opens up about other failed romantic entanglements. His one date with Hilary Duff was “probably the worst date either of us have ever had.”

He also fesses up to “philandering around” with former co-star Isabel Lucas. “It was sort of disastrous…Neither one of us, I think, were in love. Just sort of experimenting or whatever.”

On his ex-girlfriend Carey Mulligan, with whom he parted ways in October 2010: “I still love her…I think she’s a fu**ing awesome person and an incredible actress. We’re still pals. I wouldn’t take any of it back, and I don’t think she would either. It just ran its course.”

In the run-up to shooting Transformers: Dark of the Moon, Megan Fox told a British magazine that director Michael Bay “wants to be like Hitler on his sets” and that he’s “a nightmare to work for.”

A few months later, she got her walking papers. But it wasn’t Bay who made the call, the director says.

“She was in a different world, on her BlackBerry. You gotta stay focused,” Bay tells the July issue of GQ, on newsstands Tuesday. “And you know, the Hitler thing. Steven said, ‘Fire her right now.’ ”

He was referring to Steven Spielberg, one of the executive producers. Fellow Transformers star Shia LaBeouf says he agrees Fox went too far.

“Criticism is one thing,” he told the magazine. “Then there’s public name-calling, which turns into high school bashing. Which you can’t do. She started s—-talking our captain.”

Bay, however, says he was able to put the actress’s comments into perspective.

“I wasn’t hurt, because I know that’s just Megan,” he says. “Megan loves to get a response. And she does it in the wrong way. I’m sorry, Megan. I’m sorry I made you work 12 hours. I’m sorry that I’m making you show up on time. Movies are not always warm and fuzzy.”

For her part Fox, 25, who declined to comment for the story, said last year that she chose to bow out.

“It was her decision not to return. She wishes the franchise the best,” her reps told PEOPLE last year.

Regardless of their disagreements, Bay says the pair ended on decent terms.

“She sent me a text three months ago. She said, ‘I hope you’re doing well,’” he recounts. “I responded, ‘Who is this?’ She goes, ‘Megan, you dork!’ I said, ‘Oh, well, thank you, hope you’re well.’ When you’re days and months on a set, it’s like a family. You say rude things and you make up.”
