Transformers star Tyrese Gibson has revisited his tough childhood on the mean streets of Los Angeles as part of a new documentary, titled A Black Rose That Grew Through Concrete.

The actor/singer grew up poor and hungry, surrounded by gang violence, abuse and alcoholism, and he admits he has never met anyone who had a worse upbringing than he did.

He tells U.S. news show Access Hollywood, "My childhood was probably one of the worst childhood experiences ever. You're talking about gangs and prostitution, drugs and physically being there witnessing murders happening and my mom being alcohol...

Transformers director Michael Bay called in pal Will Smith to share a few words of wisdom with his star Tyrese Gibson after the actor/singer made a series of errors on the set of his blockbuster.

Gibson refuses to go into detail about what he did to upset the moviemaker, but it led to a tense dinner table showdown with Smith, during which the Men in Black star lectured his protege on how to make it Hollywood.

The Fast & the Furious 6 star tells U.S. news show Access Hollywood, "The first dinner that me and Will had, I called it the reality check dinner... I probably ran from the dinner ta...

Generous Shia Labeouf still makes sure the aged agent who gave him his first big break gets a cut of his movie pay cheques.

Retired Teresa Dahlquist, who has launched a new reality TV show with her sisters on Oprah Winfrey's TV network OWN, has revealed she signed on to represent the Transformers star when he was an 11-year-old hopeful.

She tells U.S. news show Access Hollywood, "He called me on the phone at 7.30 in the morning and said, 'I need an agent!' He found me in the Yellow Pages (phone book)... I saw right away that he was unbelievable."

Dahlquist landed the young star cameos in...

This Valentine's Day will be one to remember for lovers of the giant robot aliens from the planet Cybertron as Michael Bay has officially announced that he'll be keeping with tradition and calling the shots on "Transformers 4," according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The official word comes hot on the heels of "Transformers" producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura telling MTV News that the fourth installment will hit theaters in 2014. He also confirms that the film will be something of a reboot, though specifics of the new story have yet to be worked out.

Hollywood bombshell Megan Fox has given up her vegan diet after losing too much weight on the strict regime.

The Transformers actress saw her waistline shrink after giving up bread and dairy products, so she decided to adopt a new eating plan - which allows her to indulge in "everything".

She tells Amica Magazine, "For a year and a half, until about four months ago, I followed a strict vegan diet based on raw fruits and vegetables, no bread, sugar and coffee. But I had lost too much weight."

"So now I eat a bit of everything. I train three times a week doing circuit training with my t...

A Photoshop illustrator and plastic surgeon agree that a picture posted on Facebook by Megan Fox, does not prove she didn't have Botox.

The experts tell RumorFix the picture has been doctored.

First, Dr. Andrew Ordon, a plastic surgeon who is co-host of The Doctors, tells RumorFix, "In doing plastic surgery for over 30 years, I have never seen a forehead pattern like this."

He says the lines are not consistent with forehead and brow muscles. "If she was wrinkling, her brow would be up and she would have wrinkles over the brows. The rest of her face does not have a line on it," he says.

...

Director Michael Bay tells RumorFix he's very happy with Megan Fox's replacement on the mega hit Transformers: Dark of the Moon.

We caught up with Bay outside of Boa in West Hollywood on Friday with his mentor Jerry Bruckheimer, who he says "taught me everything."

When asked if he's happy with Victoria's Secret model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley's performance, Bay said, "Yes, I was very much so."

Of course he is -- Transformers is Number One for a second week in a row, and is the top grossing domestic film of the year.

But will Rosie make the cut for a Transformers 4?

"I'm not sure there'...

Moviemaker Michael Bay's Transformers premiere experience in Russia has been ruined by reminders his last film in the franchise was a huge critical flop.

The director attended a press conference in Moscow on Thursday, hours before the launch of the new film Dark Of The Moon, and he was asked to defend his first sequel, which was savaged by film critics.

Asked by one reporter if he was afraid the new film would be another poorly reviewed mess, an upset Bay said, "Your comment is a little insulting to the artists who worked on this. The movie did make a lot of money. I admit it's not one of...

The Maxim Hot 100 party took place on May 11 in Hollywood, CA at Eden. In attendance was the magazine's cover girl, sexy British model and actress Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, who replaced Megan Fox in the third installment of the "Transformers" movie, "Transformers: Dark of the Moon." Director of the movie, Michael Bay, was also present along with a more than life-sized Optimus Prime.

The summer movie season is here, and that means one thing: AIR CONDITIONING!!! Also, we get to watch some cool movies with our air conditioning ticket.

There will be some familiar if not downright iconic faces to greet us there, but who's not looking to make some new friends? Lucky for us Hollywood is dishing out a promising group of cinematic newcomers who just might have made the leap to stardom by the time school's back in session -- including two sons, one daughter and one cousin of pop culture royalty.

Here's a list of actors on the cusp of becoming big-time screen idols.

Leonard Nimoy has been cast in the new Transformers movie - he'll provide a voice for robot warrior Sentinel Prime in the sequel.

Prime, the predecessor of Optimus Prime, is found crash-landed on the moon by the Apollo 11 astronauts in 1969. After being brought to earth, he takes the disguise form of a fire engine and takes part in the film's climactic battle scenes, according to EW.com.

Nimoy, who is related to director Michael Bay through marriage, is no stranger to the Transformers franchise - his was the voice of Galvatron in 1986's The Transformers: The Movie.

Bay admits he wanted N...

The family of the extra who was critically injured on the set of "Transformers: The Dark of the Moon" has slammed officials for clearing film producers over the incident.

Gabriela Cedillo, 24, was airlifted to hospital in Indiana last month after a cable holding a car on the set of Michael Bay's third film in the franchise snapped and sliced open her skull.

She reportedly suffered brain damage and has been left paralyzed down one side of her body.

Her family is currently taking legal action against movie bosses over the incident, but, following an investigation by the Indiana Occupation ...

Megan Fox is planning to see the next "Transformers" movie - but admits it will be "weird" seeing Rosie Huntington-Whiteley as Shia LaBeouf's love interest.

The actress opted out of the third film earlier this year following ongoing criticism from crew members about her working attitude on the first two pictures.

British model Huntington-Whiteley was announced as the new female lead - and the brunette beauty is eager to see her replacement on the big screen when the film hits theatres in 2011.

Fox tells MTV News, "I will see it. I'm gonna see it. I might be a little jealous when I see so...

Transformers director Michael Bay is demanding "a sincere public apology" from two men who have filed suit over allegations a bodyguard working for the star beat them in a violent incident in 2008.

The moviemaker has been left fuming after Joshua Stewart and Paul Klimczak claimed a security guard employed by Bay pistol-whipped them outside a Hollywood nightclub.

Bay's attorney, Marty Singer, has blasted the allegations, insisting the director has never employed a personal bodyguard and wasn't even at the club at the time of the incident.

Singer has now sent a legal letter to the pair dem...

"Transformers" star Shia LaBeouf has stunned fans of the action franchise by revealing he wasn't a fan of the blockbuster sequel "Revenge Of The Fallen."

LaBeouf became a worldwide action hero after starring in the first "Transformers" movie in 2007, which topped box office charts around the globe.

Its success prompted movie bosses to go bigger for the second installment, but LaBeouf admits he wasn't impressed by the film's focus on daredevil stunts.

He tells the Associated Press, "When I saw the second movie, I wasn't impressed with what we did. There were some really wild stunts in it,...

Mickey Rourke has got movie gossips guessing about the actress he hated working with after confessing to teaming up with "a pain in the a**" in a recent movie.

The "Iron Man 2" star reveals the actress in question has fooled everyone into thinking she's "a lot better than she is."

Rourke tells MovieHole.net, "I worked with an actress recently who, despite having a reputation as a good actress, s**ts herself when that little red light comes on. She's fooled everyone into thinking she's a lot better than she is. Working with someone like that is a pain in the a**."

Eighties and Nineties nostalgia are running rampant in pop culture right now. Television networks and film companies are resurrecting TV shows and movies like 90210, Melrose Place, Halloween, and Transformers. This obsession with the 80s and 90s have lead to TV specials and debates about which decade is better. Both provided us with fascinating films to watch, memorable music to listen to, and new forms of entertainment that we still use today. But when it comes to entertainment, which decade was better?

In the 80s, there were only three major broadcast networks - ABC, NBC,...

Usually whenever someone meets me and learns about my extensive geekdom, they ask how often I get hit on by slobbering geek boys. The answer is: a lot. Let's face it, we geek girls have existed all along, but until the past few years we've seemed more like a mystical creature.

With the rise of video games and comic book movies as "cool" in the mainstream, there have been more girls willing to come out about their love for Guitar Hero or Superman. It's no longer a badge of weird, even to our fellow gals, and it's almost become an attractive feature for a girl to be able to beat you in Wi...

This week Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen hits the theater and all of us who obsessively watched the show in the 80's rejoice. Or cry ourselves to sleep. In any case, I'm actually more excited about the video game version of the movie, and the fact that I just typed those words is a little terrifying.

You see, as any gamer can tell you, most of the time the video game adaptations of movies suck big time. Usually if you check out a list of the least popular games in the world, a great deal of movie-based games will be on it. Why? I'm glad you asked.

Most of the time, the game is ru...

Michael Bay has made his last Transformers movie - the director is set to quit the action franchise because he has "had enough" of making big budget blockbusters.

The filmmaker helmed the original 2007 movie and returned this year with its sequel - Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. However Bay, who is known for his explosive action sequences, is sick of receiving negative reviews from critics who dislike his movie-making style and is determined to move away from the genre.

He says, "It's easy to go shoot an art movie in a winery in the South of France. But people have no idea how...

Megan Fox has laughed off rumors she once dated Twilight star Robert Pattinson - insisting the actor is too young and "too pretty" for her. The Transformers beauty was at the center of speculation she was involved with the 22 year old after the pair was spotted at a Hollywood hotspot together in March.

But Fox, 22, who recently reconciled with fiance Brian Austin Green, 35, insists the stories are not true.

She tells Elle magazine, "I just randomly asked someone for a light, and it was him. That was the extent of our 'relationship'. But I'm sure there's going to be a different guy...

On the Cartoon Network, there are so many programs that appeal to just about every type of animation connoisseur. Late nights you can catch re-runs of "Family Guy" or get thugged out and righteous by watching Riley and Huey on "The Boondocks."

Under the umbrella of the Turner Broadcasting, Cartoon Network is definitely one of the more colorful stations established by media giant Ted Turner. It was created in 1992 and was drawn up as an outlet for classic animations from the Turner Broadcastings film vault such as "Tom & Jerry" and "The Flintstones."

Artificial Intelligence is a clear description of robots replicating human nature with self-containing thoughts.
