News broke yesterday that Megan Fox was unceremoniously booted from the film, presumably for the smack talk that went down between her and Bay after she compared him to Hitler and blamed him for her bad tan. But today Fox's handlers tell People Magazine that the 24-year-old actress walked away from the film of her own accord and wishes the franchise the best. While this could be an effort to save face and put out the fires of headlines that read "Megan Fox Kicked Off Movie", it's easy to believe that with the animosity between them, she would save herself the trouble of working with Michael Bay again.

As far as most people are concerned, Megan Fox is the worst part of the Transformers franchise and fans will probably not be too upset to see her go, especially with rumors of hottie times ten Gemma Arterton rumored to be stepping in to fill the role.

How do you guys feel about Fox leaving? And who would be your choice to step in as a different love interest for the lovably dorky Sam Witwicky?
