Despite the continued economic worries, one theme park appears to be continuing business as usual. Universal Studios recently announced that their parks in Hollywood and Singapore would be getting a new ride based on the Transformers series.

The ride is still being planned and isn’t set to debut until 2011, but it will incorporate all of the latest bells and whistles--robotics, 3D and high-definition. Both director Michael Bay and producer Steven Spielberg have even signed on to advise in the ride’s production, so we can hope for a half-way decent experience.

No word yet on whether Megan Fox will make an appearance in full 3D.

Star of the forthcoming "Transformers 2" Shia LaBeouf gets off a plane at LAX looking angry in flannel. Hey, he's carrying the same doctor bag we saw him with in May! No trend zombie, that guy.

Despite injuring his hand on the set, LaBeouf continues to press forward with next summer's sequel to the giant car-robot movie of 2007, filming in Delaware, Tucson, Paris and Egypt. He also has a small part in next February's "New York I Love You," a collection of short films based on the 2007 art-house favorite "Paris je t'aime."

This eastern Florida city of Port St. Lucie produced a Fox: Actress Megan Fox, whose newest film "How to Lose Friends and Alienate People" (in which she plays a party-girl actress) opens Friday.

The "Transformers" eye candy got the full tabloid treatment in the News of the World this week when a former boyfriend told the world how Fox liked to "be one of the guys," had an eye for the ladies (particularly Angelina Jolie) and rebelled against her super-strict folks. Since she already admitted to this, and many more, in this month's super-TMI GQ profile, it looks like that lonely boy is just a little too late.

Port St. Lucie is best known for hosting Mets spring training and for being one of the fastest growing cities in the Sunshine State: In 1970, only 300 people lived there.

"Transformers" actor Shia LaBeouf rocked a '90s flannel, a '70s concert T-shirt, a space-age rolling bag and a nineteenth-century doctor's bag at LAX yesterday. Hopefully he'll be more uniformly packed for his role as Indiana Jones' sidekick in their quest for the Crystal Skull.

LaBeouf just wrapped filming the thriller "Eagle Eye," about a man framed as a terrorist, in Southern California. Next he's switching coasts for a short film directed by Shekhar Kapur ("Elizabeth: The Golden Age") that will be part of "New York, I Love You" with John Hurt and Julie Christie.
