Being a loud mouth who is always complaining to the media about things that she has no knowledge of may end up costing “Transformers” stunner Megan Fox more than just an embarrassing, public reprimand from director Michael Bay. In fact, the comments she made in the past might cost her the very thing that brought her fame, according to reports on PopCrunch: her lead in the “Transformers” franchise.

Reports in the media are saying Michael Bay has had it with the actress and is thinking as we speak of a way of cutting her out of the “Transformers” franchise for good. He hasn’t decided yet how that will happen, it is being said, but all things point to that he’s thinking of having her killed off during an attack in the third film, the one that has just gone into production and that will be released in July 2011.

“The bubbleheaded bombshell’s recent comments blasting Transformers director Michael Bay as tough to work for than ‘Hitler’ – coupled with a scornful letter penned by members of the film’s crew, which slam Meg as an ungrateful brat – could cost the outspoken brunette her job in the upcoming third installment. Movie industry insiders tell In Touch Weekly, Michael is considering writing Megan out of the series in a gory death scene in the first few frames of Transformers 3 and replacing [her] with another gorgeous young actress.” PopCrunch writes.

Insiders claim that the deal is not yet done and that Megan’s character still lives at the time of writing, but Bay is preparing to have her ousted with a bang. “Michael’s pretty much discovered Megan and now he’s very quietly looking for her replacement. He hasn’t decided if he’s going to kill her off in the next movie, but he just wants to be prepared.” an unnamed insider reveals.

Strangely enough, granted the above record is accurate, it would surely come to Bay’s credit for keeping all animosity out of the media. Just recently, the director announced the start of production for the third film in a post on his personal webpage, where he also included a tongue-in-cheek letter to Megan Fox, in which he advised her to see a physician before shooting any scene that may put her health in danger.
