Sure Shots: Sarah Shahi; Transformers 4; Megan Fox, John C. Reilly to cameo in The Dictator


* If you were one of the folks who got wrapped up in the Showtime series The L Word like I did(hey, I like to watch chicks making out) then you were probably as floored by Sarah Shahi as I was. Not only because she's hot enough to make a guy's teeth sweat, but because she was a stand out performer. She's moved on since to bigger and better things, and now she's set for her biggest gig yet. She'll be joining Sylvester Stallone's film formerly titled Headshot. Kung Sang co-stars as a young NYPD detective who teams up with a hitman(Stallone) to find the killers of their ex-partners. Shahi will somehow play the daughter of Stallone's character. Seriously? Did he mate with a literal goddess or something? No way he could produce a kid that pretty. Walter Hill is directing.

*  Michael Bay ain't coming back for anymore Transformers flicks. That much is clear. But would Steven Spielberg hop aboard? Tyrese Gibson, who co-stars as one of those puny fleshbags in Transformers: Dark of the Moon, seems to think so. Or at least that's what he told Movieweb. I think he's bullshittin'.

* Megan Fox, who seems to be withstanding a fresh new volley of post-Transformers criticism, will be making a cameo appearance in Sacha Baron Cohen's latest, The Dictator. John C. Reilly will be joining her, but their roles are unclear. Considering the likely improv nature of the story, they might be showing up as themselves. The comedy will feature Cohen as a dictator who gets lost in the United States, and eventually falls in love with Anna Faris. I don't blame him. Ben Kingsley stars as well.
