"It&amp;apos;s official -- Victoria&amp;apos;s Secret model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley will replace Megan Fox in the Transformers franchise.\r\nDirector Michael Bay welcomed the 23-year-old Brit on his official Web site Wednesday evening.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;I would like for all you S4TE fans to welcome Rosie Huntington-Whiteley to the world of Transformers,&amp;quot; the post reads. &amp;quot;As some of you might know, she&amp;apos;s the new female lead in Transformers 3.&amp;quot;\r\nThis isn&amp;apos;t the first time the supermodel has teamed up with the acclaimed director -- though it will mark her acting debut. The two first worked together when Bay helmed Victoria&amp;apos;s Secret &amp;quot;A Thousand Fantasies&amp;quot; ad in 2009.\r\n\r\nBut don&amp;apos;t expect Fox, who starred opposite Shia LeBeouf in $1.5 billion-grossing franchise, to hold any grudges.\r\n&amp;quot;Megan Fox left on her own accord,&amp;quot; a rep for the actress, 24, told UsMagazine.com on May 19. &amp;quot;She wishes the franchise well.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nFox and and Bay have notoriously butted heads over the years: Fox accused the director of forcing her to model skimpy outfits and said he was a &amp;quot;nightmare to work for.&amp;quot; The director responded by saying she &amp;quot;needs to grow up&amp;quot; before calling her &amp;quot;dumb as a brick&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;ungracious.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
