Victoria's Secret model Officially Replaces Megan Fox

After Megan Fox was fired or let go, whatever you choose to believe, from starring in Michael Bay's Transformers 3, an immediate firestorm of rumors swirled around who would take her place. The list contained a bunch of underwear models and Gemma Arterton, who's name I think was included just as a placeholder. She's quickly becoming the female Sam Worthington. Anyway, one of the name's on that list was Victoria's Secret model Rosie Hungtingon-Whiteley. She's still hot. 

Last week it was all but a sure thing that Hungington-Whiteley had snagged the part, but Paramount had yet to confirm it. They still haven't, but Victoria's Secret unveiled a 90 second congratulatory video all but cementing that the soon-to-be actress has nailed the part.

She'll have some tough shoes to fill. Few actresses can stand toe-to-toe with an Autobot like Bumblebee and not wither in the face of his overpowering acting prowess. He's like Orson Welles.

Huntingon-Whiteley joins an altogether weird cast for this third installment: Frances McDormand, Shia Labeouf, Patrick Dempsey, Ken Jeong, and John Malkovich are all on board.
