I'm so stoked.
They're filming in my city. LOLL.
The local news won't stop talking about it.
Gotta love Florida.
Maybe Shia Labeouf could reunite with Margo Harshman.
Hopefully none of these ladies will appear in the next installment of Transformers; Gemma Arterton, Rachael Taylor, Heidi Montag, Zoe Saldana, Ashley Greene, Hayden Panettiere, Camilla Belle, Amber Heard, Bar Rafaeli, Miranda Kerr, Brooklyn Decker, Sophia Bush, Evan Rachel Wood, Kat Dennings, Emma Roberts, Ellen Page, Blake Lively, Rachel Bilson, Hilary Duff, Leighton Meester, Mishca Barton, Taylor Momsen, or Jessica Szohr.
I believe no matter who Michael Bay chooses as a new love-interest to Sam (Shia Labeouf), it will be a difficult task to ignite that flame.
Oh wow! This is such a great Opportunity! What a great summer 'adventure'! I am SO in. :]
When and Where do we audition to be an extra in spacecoast?
