Megan Fox to play Red Sonja

Megan Fox  has been crowned the 'Sexiest Woman Alive' twice and Hollywood beauty Megan Fox is set for a hat-trick as she readies to play the bikini-wearing fighter Red Sonja.

The 1985 original starred Brigitte Neilson as warrior from the Conan comic strip, opposite Arnold Schwarzenegger as Prince Kalidor.

And now producer Robert Rodriguez has offered the role to the 24-year-old Hollywood siren, so that the much delayed remake finally sees the light of the day, reported Sun online.

The remake has been on the cards for a while and was set to star the producer's former fiancee Rose McGowan. And Rodriguez lately admitted that the making had been overwhelmed by economic problems.

"If I kept the project myself, we could've just made it, but it belonged to another company that had financing problems. They had to wait until they made a couple of other movies first," he said.

Now Rodriguez has offered the role of the unbreakable beauty to the 'Transfomers' star in an attempt to drum up some fresh interest in the much delayed project.

Fox was supposed to replace Angelina Jolie as Lara Croft in Tom Raider 3 but has allegedly refused the offer to avoid judgment with her predecessor.

Sania Mirza will play tennis for India : Shoaib Malik

Shoaib Malik finally broke his silence on Sunday and said his earlier marriage to Ayesha Siddiqui was “illegal”. He also said that after marriage Sania Mirza would continue playing tennis for India.

Talking to journalists outside Sania’s Banjara Hills residence, Malik made it clear that his marriage with Sania would be held on April 15 in Hyderabad as scheduled. He also circulated a press report which said that the nikahnama with Ayesha was illegal as it was done over phone and that he had been pressurized into it.

Malik said he wanted to clarify “wrongly reported facts” in newspapers and television channels both in India and Pakistan. “I want to make my position clear specially because I am to marry Sania,” he said.

He admitted to the nikahnama in his statement but said it was invalid since the intention was to cheat him.

He said he never met the girl whose photographs the Siddiqui family sent to him claiming to be Ayesha’s.

“They are asking for a divorce. There was no nikah because they pressurised me into it with the intention to cheat. In Islam, there can only be a divorce if nikah is valid,” he said.
Pakistani player Shoaib Malik on Sunday did not answer any direct questions regarding the earlier marriage saying that his lawyers would answer them.

“The things being said about me, it’s a legal issue and my lawyer will answer the questions,” was all he said. But he had lots to say about the upcoming marriage.

“I am happy to be here and I am here for my marriage with Sania. We are happy with our marriage.

Sania knows the whole truth (about his earlier marriage) and she is happy. She has supported me completely throughout this ordeal. We are getting married, Inshaallah, on April 15 in Hyderabad. Preparations are on in full swing,” he said, adding, “The atmosphere here is very good. We are enjoying the warmth bestowed upon us.

Over the next few days, I am going to be involved in the preparations.” Asked about Sania’s tennis career, Malik said, “She will play tennis as long as she wants, my family’s support is there. She will continue to represent India after the marriage.”
