BOB MARLEY: ONE LOVE Featurette

Who Really Fired Megan Fox From Transformers Films

You know, Dreamworks/Paramount/whatever once sold "Transformers" the same way they're selling "Super 8" now: as a Steven Spielberg joint with some other, lesser guy directing. Spielberg's name is added to bring heft, gravitas and (of course) box office to enterprises that aren't yet proven; note that Spielberg's name isn't so prominent in the "Transformers" trailers anymore. The franchise no longer requires him.

That doesn't mean he's not still involved, though, and, according to Michael Bay (who directed "Transformers" movies), the reason Megan Fox was fired from "Transformers 2" was not her big mouth (more on that later), but in fact Spielberg himself.

According to a new Michael Bay oral history in GQ, Bay says Fox was booted by the direct order of Sir Spielbergo (who helped produce the movie).

"She was in a different world, on her BlackBerry. You gotta stay focused. And you know, the Hitler thing. Steven [Spielberg] said, 'Fire her right now.'"

"The Hitler thing" was Fox saying Bay ran his movie sets "like Hitler," which probably didn't sit well with Spielberg. It's a shame: She should have just run with her Napoleon comparison, which is far more apt, save for the height issue. Frankly, we're a little disappointed not only that Spielberg actually does something with the "Transformers" films other than cash a check, but that he even knows who Megan Fox is. (For the record, Spielberg's reps said he's traveling with his family and therefore unavailable for comment. Good for him.)
As for how Bay felt about Fox's comments, he said:

"I wasn't hurt, because I know that's just Megan. Megan loves to get a response. And she does it in kind of the wrong way. I'm sorry, Megan. I'm sorry I made you work twelve hours. I'm sorry that I'm making you show up on time. Movies are not always warm and fuzzy"

By the way, you have to love the Daily Mail, who first jumped on the GQ story: Their headline is, "Megan Fox slips into teeny bikini amid Transformers sacking row." We are now making "Megan Fox slips into teeny bikini amid ..." the beginning of every one of our headlines.

Sex Tape Review: Overly Sexual, Rude, Vulgar, and Absolutely Hilarious

The raunchy Sex Tape will divide audiences and critics, but who cares? Sex Tape suggests a growing practice among loving partners: that of making a raunchy testament of their escapades for posterity. But what happens when that evidence gets seen by friends, neighbors, and even the mailman? This is the plot that pits Jay (Jason Segel) and Annie (Cameron Diaz) in an effort to secure every iPad gift Jay has given, his record company playlists being the envy of the recipients, but which has also inadvertently spread the video to every device. The reason for the act - termed in the movie as pulling "the full Lincoln " for its three-hour length - stems from the couple's non-existent social life, brought on by the constant demands of their children. The couple has a lot to lose: a burgeoning business relationship between Annie and Hank (Rob Lowe) could end if the iPad she's given to Hank exposes the video, and so the couple sets out to reclaim and wipe the incrim...
