'Sexiest Woman' Megan Fox to play Mother Teresa

Hollywood siren Megan Fox, who was recently voted Sexiest Woman In The World by FHM magazine, is set to play Mother Teresa.
But devout Catholics need not fear, it is not a serious biopic.


Saintly? Megan Fox plays Mother Teresa in a movie within a movie

She stars in How To Lose Friends and Alienate People as upcoming actress Sophia Maes, who lands the lead role in a movie-within-a-movie on the life of the famous nun.
Fox appears alongside Simon Pegg and Kirsten Dunst in the film, which is based on Toby Young's memoir of the same name.

Meanwhile, the 22-year-old has been ordered to put on weight for her role in the second Transformers movie.

The Angelina Jolie look alike said: 'I had to put on weight. I’d lost a lot of weight and got really scrawny, but I was told I had to put on size for Transformers because Michael [Bay, the director] doesn’t like skinny girls.'

'I have a serious sugar tooth, so now I eat red-velvet cake before I go to bed every night, and if you eat meals later, you’ll put on weight faster, so I had dinner at 10 p.m.

Megan Fox squeezes herself into a pair of denim hotpants in thrilling new Transformers 2 trailer

As if watching giant robots fighting for control of the planet wasn't enough, producers have given film fans another reason to watch the new Transformers sequel - the sight of Megan Fox in hotpants.
The stunning actress squeezes her curves into a tiny pair of denim shorts as she reprises her role as sexy biker Mikaela Banes in the upcoming Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.

In the opening scenes of the latest trailer of the action movie, a hotpants-clad Mikaela is seen talking to her boyfriend Sam Witwicky on the phone about the new long-distance status of their relationship.

Sizzling: Megan Fox's character Mikaela Banes is working at her dad's bike shop and in a long-distance relationship with her boyfriend Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf) at the beginning of the film

Hero Sam, played by Shia LaBeouf, has moved away to New Jersey to study astronomy at historic Princeton College and is trying to live a normal life following his battle with the evil Decepticons in the previous film.
With only eight weeks to go before the film hits cinemas, producers have released a new trailer giving further clues to the movie's plotline and finally confirms Decepticon leader Megatron comes back from the dead after being killed by Sam in the first film two years ago.

In the new trailer, Sam disappoints his robot friend Bumblebee, who transforms into his car Chevrolet Camaro, that he can't bring him to college because freshman (first years) aren't allowed vehicles on campus.


Growing up: Sam (Shia) informs his car-robot friend Bumblebee he's moving to college without him

Once at university, Sam discovers its not so easy to leave his double life as an assistant to the heroic Autobots behind when he finds a sliver of Energon Cube (the Transformers' energy source) in his room on campus.
The presence of the cube appears to be unlocking secrets in Sam's brain - who is tormented by bizarre symbols when he's trying to study - and they're secrets the villainous Decepticons want to find out
An angry Megatron, who has been resurrected by his fellow Decepticons, wants to get revenge on Sam and is desoerate to get the secrets from Sam's brain.

Sam soon finds he has been followed to university by Autobots leader Optimus Prime, who informs him he's needed to help them stop the Decepticons' mission to rid the world of humans so they can live off Earth's resources.







After the Decepticons ravage the historic hallowed halls of Sam's university Princeton, he reunites with girlfriend Mikaela and the Autobots as their fight against the Decepticons takes them to Egypt.
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen not only brings back familiar robts like Optimus Prime, Bumblebee and Megatron, but also a host of new 'bots.

Among the new robots are mechanical jaguar Ravage, who spies on the Autobots and humans for the Decepticons, and The Doctor, a spider-like droid who tries to extract information from Sam.
Transformers screenwriter Alex Kurtzman told the USA Today newspaper: 'In the spirit of "more than meets the eye," Ravage isn’t just lethal because of his sharp teeth.





'There’s actually another skill set Ravage has that didn’t exist before, so there’s going to be a surprise for fans.'
A group of Decepticons also join forces to form The Devastator, who wages mass destruction on a huge scale.
Another screenwriter Roberto Orci said: 'He’s made of vehicles designed to build, and he turns into is someone who loves to destroy. He is an agent of absolute chaos.'
In the film, the Decepticons, desperate for the information, wage war to capture Sam and the climactic battle scene takes place at the Giza pyramid complex in Egypt, where film crew were granted access to the 5,000-year-old site for the first time ever.





Egyptian hieroglyphics resembling helicopters in real life were also used, where they will be explained in the film as being depictions of those ancient Cybertronians who visited Earth.
The film’s Army liaison, Lt. Col. Gregory Bishop, said: 'As far as I know, this is the biggest joint military operation movie ever made, in terms of Army, Air Force, Navy and Marines. I can’t think of one that’s bigger.'
Shia injured his hand when he was involved in a car crash in July 2008, which disrupted filming of the $200million science fiction blockbuster.
Shia's bandaged hand was subsequently written into the plotline after Sam is left injured after a clash with a Decepticon.

• Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen will be released in the UK on June 24.
