With the failure of actress Megan Fox's last three films ("Jennifer's Body" "Jonah Hex" and "Passion Play" which isn't out yet, but c'mon, what do you expect) some are writing her career off. Fox's "Transformers 3" replacement, as Shia LaBeouf's love interest, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, is set to make her big screen debut this summer, in a situation that has the makings of a trial by fire learning experience. Will Whiteley match the popularity of Fox in the film? (No). Which of the two will be the better leading lady? (Fox).

Though I have not seen "Transformers 3" because, duh, isn't out yet, I have seen trailers and stills and Whiteley looks as stiff as a board and her expressions more vacant than the screening for "Passion Play" (hey, I take no prisoners...or grammar classes). Rachel Weisz she is not. Which brings me to my point, did Michael Bay let his loins mislead him into making a mistake, in signing a model who can't act. Bay's clearly not one for continuity (or originality) and while the box office will be okay, artistically he has a problem on his hands.
