Megan Fox isn’t interested in becoming the next Bond girl.
The 23-year-old bombshell was being courted by producers to play one of the suave British spy’s conquests, but turned down the part because she didn’t believe it would have a positive impact on her career.
A source said: “Megan might be interested in a villainous role if it was a central part of the movie but she is not interested in being just your usual type of Bond girl.”
“She did consider an approach but she won’t be doing James Bond while she’s so busy with other projects. She might consider it again in a few years time.”
A concert film of Michael Jackson’s final rehearsals will open in theaters this fall, according to reports.

Shortly before Cibrian appeared in the Lifetime television movie Northern Lights alongside the country singer last March, reports surfaced that Cibrian was having an affair with Rimes, who is also married.
Both have denied the claims. Nonetheless, the hunk’s model wife — the mother of his two young children — has decided to leave the actor after once again catching him in the arms of LeAnn.
“Eddie and I have decided to take some time apart,” 36-year-old Brandi Glanville says tearfully in this week’s issue of Us Weekly. “I want to do what is best for our children. Eddie and LeAnn [Rimes] deserve each other.”
Brandi — who once accused LeAnn of “stalking” her husband — tells Us she caught the pair together outside the Malibu beach home of one of LeAnn’s pals in the early afternoon hours of July 17.
It was the final straw in what has become a humiliating ordeal for the scorned woman.
Cibrian, 35, has also been accused of cheating with Scheana Marie Jancan, a 24-year-old model.
For his part, Eddie Cibrian — who is slated to join the cast of CSI: Miami this fall — is defending the state of his wrecked marriage, describing his troubles with Brandi as a “speed bump” in press statement issued Tuesday.
A speed bump?
“Apparently the press wishes to continue to play out Eddie Cibrian’s domestic situation publicly with an unfair flair of tabloid fervor,” Cibrian’s manager said in a statement released to Access Hollywood.
“Eddie is a devoted and loving father first and foremost and the speed bump he and Brandi are experiencing needs to be worked out privately for everyone’s benefit.”

I’d rather sing. That’s much easier to me?..It’s a storied franchise, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I’m going to try to make it to my seat because my knees are a little weak.”
“I’m a huge sports fan,” the 40-year-old star remarked in an interview with PEOPLE this morning. “These opportunities don’t come around too often. It’s quite an honor and a privilege to be able to sit here today saying that I’m a part-owner of an NFL team.”
The Dolphins went from a dismal 1-15 record in 2007 to 11-5 and the 2008 AFC East Championship, before losing to the Baltimore Ravens in the playoffs.
