Oh, Megan...

Why is it that every move Megan Fox makes elicits a little controversy?

Girl’s naughty like that.

The actress is making headlines, albeit of the split kind, for taking on a small role in The Dictator, Sacha Baron Cohen’s new dark comedy based on a book by Saddam Hussein.

The particulars of Fox’s role remain TBC...but it’s kinda interesting timing that she should say yes to a project like this one given that right now everyone is rehashing her infamous and like, two-year-old comment about how “[director Michael Bay] wants to be like Hitler on his sets,” which prompted Steven Spielberg to ask she be sacked from the Transformers franchise.

Good for her, though, for lining up work in what is shaping up to be a buzzy movie that already has Anna Faris set to co-star and has attracted John C. Reilly as well for a small role.
