Michael Bay

Michael Bay made it official today that Transformers 3 is on the way for 2011.

And get this: Megan Fox, despite having recently compared Bay with ... well, ... Hitler, will be back, but Bay does get a little dig in. He says:

At this point it's common knowledge that, given the opportunity, Megan Fox will say completely ridiculous things on the red carpet and in magazine interviews. We all pretty much accept it as part of her attention-grabbing shtick.

Looks like some of the crewmembers of the latest Transformers film weren't feeling so accepting.

Oh, how we love Megan Fox and the nutso things she's always saying. You may recall her battle of the words this summer with Michael Bay (ahem, biting the hand that's fed her). But wait, there's more.

Not only she is a talented actress (cough, cough), she can wash cars too? Wow!

The 23-year-old actress played the role of Mikaela Banes in the two Transformers movies, and recently revealed that her audition for the part was rather unusual. Fox says she went to director Michael Bay's house and was told to wash his Ferrari while he filmed her.

Shia LaBeouf let the beans spill in a recent interview to promote Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (opening June 24th) that a fifth installment of The Indiana Jones franchise is in the works.

Really?! Steven Spielberg is making another Indy saga starring LaDouche?!

“[Director Steven Spielberg] just said that he cracked the story on it before I left and I think they’re gearing that up.”

Last night was ShowWest’s closing night awards banquet where the National Association of Theater Owners honored the actors and actresses they’ve knighted the biggest stars (and sacred cash cows) of the upcoming year.

The honorees included Zac Efron, Rachel McAdams, Audrina Patridge (say WHAT?!?!?), Dennis Quaid, Michael Caine, Sienna Miller, Zack Snyder, Bradley Cooper and Michael Bay.

So who would you rather?

Zac-y Pooh in all his barely legal, 17 Again glory?

This better be as good as Clue.

Although we don’t see how it could be.

Ridley Scott has signed on to direct a big screen adaptation of Monopoly.

As in the board game, with hotels and railroads.

Ridley will supposedly give the Monopoly movie a futuristic spin a la his 1982 epic Blade Runner.

Oookay.

Monopoly is one of several projects in a partnership with Hasbro Games and Universal Studios.

Megan Fox may be one of the sexiest women in the world to anyone with eyes and a pulse, but director Michael Bay didn’t like what he saw when she showed up to the set of Transformers 2 so she was ordered to PUT ON weight . That’s right, he said she was too skinny and he asked her to put on 10 pounds before she starts shooting the blockbuster sequel later this summer.

Rainn Wilson, best known for his role as Dwight Schrute on NBC’s The Office, has been added to the cast of Tranformers 2.

The film’s returning stars include Shia LaBeouf, Megan Fox, Josh Duhamel, Tyrese Gibson and John Turturro, with Michael Bay directing once again.

So far Rainn is the first new addition. Superbad’s Jonah Hill was up for a role but was not cast.

Who cares? They could put anyone in that movie and as long as there’s Optimus Prime and Bumblebee, we’re there!

Michael Bay is on board (pardon the pun) to co-produce a live action Ouija film for Universal. The movie will be produced in association with Hasbro, the maker of Ouija as well as Monopoly, Candy Land, Chutes & Ladders and Clue.

The only reason we think the film might not be painfully horrendous is because 1985’s Clue is such an excellent and imminently quotable film.
