NEWS RUNDOWN: Golden Girl Rue McClanahan passes away, Megan Fox's Transformers Replacement Confirmed...




Transformers 3 replacement confirmed


In news that came as a surprise only to those who've been living in the space under a rock for the last few weeks, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley was officially announced as a certain Ms Fox's replacement.

Michael Bay posted the following on his official website earlier today:

"I would like for all you S4TE fans to welcome Rosie Huntington-Whiteley to the world of Transformers. As some of you might know, she's the new female lead in Transformers 3."


Just so we're clear; none of us are expecting her to have superior acting ability to Megan, right?

Just wanted to make sure.

Kelly earlier tweeted about it, saying:

It is what it is. Roll on, next Wednesday.




Golden Girl Rue McClanahan passes away





In tragic news, Rue McClanahan, 76, of Golden Girls fame, passed away this morning after suffering a massive stroke. Naturally, numerous celebrities have offered their condolences, but we've posted what we felt were two of the most touching ones below.

Betty White's statement.

“Rue was a close and dear friend. I treasured our relationship. It hurts more than I even thought it would, if that’s possible.”


Paul Junger Witt (executive producer of Golden Girls)

“When a series is on as long as we were, with the same unit of people who have worked together for seven to eight years, you do become a family. A loss becomes very personal. It’s a very sad day. When shows come to an end, that’s a period of mourning. But to lose the ladies that we have — we still have Betty, thank God, who’s a treasure. But it’s a real loss. The afterlife of the show has been so extraordinary. Women are still visiting [the show] in their living rooms all over the world. Watching the four of those ladies work was certainly the highlight of those years. Every day to get to watch these four consummate performers, there’s nothing like it. She was an intuitively funny person. She was a force of joy for all of us. And we miss her already.”



Tragic. And this leads us to wonder whether these things really do happen in threes (Gary Coleman, Dennis Hopper and now Rue McClanahan).
