Armani underwear model Megan Fox Rihanna
Not only was Megan Fox replaced by Rosie Hungtinton-Whiteley in the latest Transformers flick, but the pouty brunette was also relieved of her duty as Emporio Armani's underwear model. Fox will be replaced by R&B artist Rihanna, who joins a legacy of hotties who have previously modelled for the label. The list includes the beautiful Beckhams, Portugese superstar athlete Cristiano Ronaldo and pro-tennis player Rafael Nadal. According to Armani, the shoot has already taken place in New York, but perhaps the most appropriate spot for it would have been a California King Bed. Just saying. More from the Hollywood Reporter

For the second weekend in a row, "Transformers: Dark of the Moon" remained in its top box-office slot. Almost as impressive as the $261 million the film has grossed thus far is Rosie Hungtington-Whiteley running through the streets of Chicago, dodging alien-death in sky-high stilettos.
Last week, Hungtington-Whiteley confessed that it was difficult for her to shoot various action scenes in her heels. She told the Belfast Telegraph, "One thing I learned about this movie with the wardrobe was to try and persuade the director not to make you wear heels all the way through an action sequence."
