Shia LaBeouf and his new co-star Rosie Huntington Whiteley film Transformers 3 in Chicago, Illinois where they are actually filming on the corner of Wacker and Wabash (so the pictures say).

It’s going to be strange not seeing Megan Fox in the franchise but something tells me that Rosie is going to be getting her own major fallowing.  This girl is hot.  And to me, what makes her hotter is the fact she is dating Jason Statham. Lucking effing biotch. I think the diehard fans of Transformers will be able to forgive Megan not being part of it.

Also filming in Chicago is Tyrese Gibson who paid a visit to the Corner Bakery Restaurant where fans were thrilled to see him up close.

Looks like lots of destruction going on on the film set. The movie is expected to open July 1, 2011.
