The Next Megan Fox? We're Still Waiting

It seems like every other week we're promised that the newest, hottest, latest raven-haired beauty in town will take reign as the 'new Megan Fox.' The sultry, tattoo loving bad girl seemed to have cornered an unspoken niche right out of the gate. Her sex speaking pout and car mechanic (really?) 'Transformers' character immediately made her leader of the pack -- a spot every girl with a great face and an even better body was vying for.

Men drool at the very drop of the 25-year-old's name and women mock her salacious sex appeal while secretly clicking through Megan Fox makeup tutorial videos on YouTube. But when it comes down to brass tacks, the girl is only known for one franchise, 'Transformers' -- and not even a complete one at that. Her sharp tongue got her fired from the series after just two films after she referred to director, Michael Bay as "Hitler."Since her big splash in the summer blockbuster circuit in 2007, she's made an even bigger splash on her way out of it, becoming the actress who can't seem to keep her mouth shut. Seeminly every week the media musters their picks for 'the next Megan Fox,' hoping that one of the 'new girls' will have what it takes to boost Fox from her throne -- and we've got to say, the girl's got a hell of a grip.

First, there was Minka Kelly. A fellow brunette beauty who shared Fox's sex appeal without sacrificing her nice girl persona. She was the Megan Fox you would take home to meet your parents, the Megan Fox who, most likely, wouldn't physically attack you (à la Eminem's 'Love The Way You Lie'). Then there was Odette Annable-Yustman who found her big break in the 'Transformers'-like end of the world action flick, 'Cloverfield.' Like Fox, Yustman also went on to star in a raunchy horror flick -- for Fox it was eating boys in 'Jennifer's Body' and for Yustman it was fighting an evil spirit in her underwear in 'The Unborn.' Next, Olivia Wilde's name was thrown into the Fox hat after she beat out the sexpot for a starring role in 'Tron: Legacy.'

The latest contender? Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, who (no stretch here) is stepping into Fox's shoes in the latest installment of 'Transformers: Dark of the Moon.' Although the former Victoria's Secret model doesn't share Fox's dark locks, she's giving her predecessor a run for her money when it comes to making jaws drop on the red carpet. The only difference? Huntington-Whiteley is totally charming. No too cool for school squinted eye stares here, Megan Fox 2.0 seems to have what it takes to steal the cake.

But still, we're not holding our breath. Back in 2007 when American first caught glimpse of Fox, greased down and sexed up for the Autobot world, rumblings that she was the next Angelina Jolie began to circulate -- a prophesy that has yet to come to fruition. Like it or not, Fox has (somehow) created an indelible niche for herself and doesn't seem to be going anywhere. So, cable television, ready your hand on the bleep button; directors, if you're going to dish it learn to take it and Fox wannabes, get in line. This hot locomotive is going nowhere fast.
