Megan Fox, star of the Transformers movies and upcoming thriller Jennifer’s Body, is becoming the new “it” girl.
The reigning world’s most beautiful woman has even pushed aside international pop star and actress Beyonce.
Megan, 23, has replaced Beyonce, who turns 28 on Friday, as the spokesmodel for Emporio Armani Diamonds.

Fox initially turned heads when she appeared on the first live-action Transformers movie in 2007. Beyonce received two Golden Globes nominations for her role in Dreamgirls in 2006 and she became the face of Armani in 2007. But now Megan will be the face of a new Armani fragrance and clothing collection.
Ironically, Beyonce sang “Diamonds Are a Girls Best Friend” for an Armani commercial, and Megan is obsessed with dying like her idol, Hollywood starlet Marilyn Monroe, who made “Diamonds Are a Girls Best Friend” popular in 1953 film Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.

Here is Beyonce’s up-to-date version of Marilyn’s “Diamonds”

I wonder if Armani will get Megan to dye her hair blonde as Marilyn did to perform another “Diamonds” commercial.
Megan has struggled with her newfound fame, revealing insecurities, anxiety and other mental conditions. She has never been treated for a psychological disorder, but she fears dying before her time like Marilyn Monroe, who died of a drug overdose at the age of 36 in 1962. Megan actually has a tattoo of Monroe on her inner right forearm.

Megan explained her anxiety and Marilyn obsession in a recent interview with Wonderland magazine.
“I basically read every book ever written about Marilyn Monroe,” Fox said. “I could end up like that because I constantly struggle with the idea that I think I’m a borderline personality – or that I have bouts of mild schizophrenia.”I definitely have some kind of mental problem and I haven’t pinpointed what it is.”
This sounds eerily similar to Michael Jackson’s obsession with having a similar fate to Elvis when he questioned his ex-wife and the King of Rock’s daughter Lisa Marie Presley about how her father died at age 42. Ironically, Michael died of a doctor-administered drug overdose at the age of 50 in June.
So if Megan doesn’t get some help, she may fall down a similar path as Marilyn and Michael.
