Yesterday we reported that sultry young starlet Megan Fox would not be returning for the third installment of the Transformers franchise...

Now her rep has released the following statement:

    "Megan Fox will not be starring in Transformers 3. It was her decision not to return. She wishes the franchise the best."


Sounds like The Fox wants to make sure everyone knows that she wasn't given the boot!

Let's not forget what the actress said about director Michael Bay in the past: "He's like Napoleon," she told Wonderland Magazine. "He wants to create this insane, infamous mad-man reputation. He wants to be like Hitler on his sets, and he is. So he's a nightmare to work for."

Ouch! Meanwhile, Heidi Montag has expressed interest in starring in the film via Twitter: "Michael Bay I love your work! I know what a artistic brilliant genius you are! Cast me in the next Transformers."

I know Michael and Megan technically patched things up, but we have to wonder whether or not the rest of the cast and crew really wanted to work with her again... and it looks like Heidi is ready and willing to jump on board and replace her!
