Megan Fox wants to date international movie star actress?!

"I love Angelina Jolie. She's someone I admire and look up to. She's my favourite actress in Hollywood," gushed 23-year-old Transformers starlet Megan Fox (pictured left) in an interview with Britain's Heat Magazine. "I just love that she's incredibly honest, and I feel that she's not afraid to be herself. She tells you exactly what's on her mind."

Fox recently ended her engagement to Beverly Hills, 90210 actor Brian Austin Green, 35, whom she began dating back in 2004. "Everytime a relationship ends," she elaborated, "I say 'If I could just be Angelina's girlfriend, I would be so happy'."

Last Sunday (June 14) Fox confirmed her single status during the Berlin premiere of her upcoming blockbuster Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. "I'm currently what you would call single I guess." When asked who she would like to hook up with next, Fox answered, "Oh I don't know. There is this Korean Justin Timberlake named Rain and I'm really on his situation now. I'm trying to fix this up. I'm working hard."

Ever since Fox stormed Hollywood she's been consistantly compared to the 34-year-old Jolie (pictured right), even being nicknamed "Angelina Jr.," "Angelina 2.0" or the "Angelina clone," for their similar sex symbol status, love for tattoos, and tell-it-like-it-is attitude. "I'm sure [Angelina] has no idea who I am," admitted Fox in a separate interview. "But if I were her, I'd be like, 'Who the fuck is this little bullshit brat who was in Transformers that's going to be the next me?'"

In other Jolie news, the Oscar-winning actress--and her partner Brad Pitt--donated $1 million to benefit refugees in Pakistan, as part of her 8-year-old association with the United Nations Refugee Agency. She's also recently signed on to star in the sequel to 2008's hit action film Wanted.

Another sequel to a medicore film

As preparations begin on the Timur Bekmabetov helmed sequel of Wanted, all I can wonder is if we really need a sequel? Not only that, but there are reports that Angelina Jolie will be returning to reprise her role. So now I am confused, is this a prequel or a sequel?

Bekmambetov told the Russian newsite RIA Novosti, "In July we will start preparation for the film. I think in the late autumn or winter shooting will be performed. The shooting will take place in America, India and Russia."

The sequel reportedly has a $150 million budget, which is the biggest Hollywood production made by a Russian filmmaker, and Bekmambetov will once again have Russian crew involved in all aspects of production.

Some really cool scenes were in the first film but it fell flat for me. The possible scenarios you could set up from the first film could be interesting, but I am still curious as to how this will work out. Hopefully they scrap the Loom of Fate from this one.
