Should Angie Be Worried About Megan?

Will Megan Fox replace Angelina in the next Tomb Raider?

Now that Angelina Jolie's the new equally skeletal Mother Teresa as far as do-gooding celebs go, could her sex-queen crown be kaput? Megan Fox, the only good reason for a Transformers sequel, is allegedly being sought after to fill A.J.'s boots in another Tomb Raider flick, and we love this possible switcheroo.

The brunette babe's basically a sexier, sultrier mini-Jolie anyway, from the lips to the heavily tattooed bod. (Brian Austin Green, however, is no Brad Pitt. Like you needed us to tell you that.)

We put in word with Fox's reps to see if she'd take on the role if offered. They're mum—as they should be. Don't want to blow a friggin' cash cow like this one! But all fanboys want with Lara Croft is T&A anyway, and with Ms. Fox, ya get it for one-sixth the price! Makes sense to us.

Could this role reversal be the first step in Angie's downward spiral from sex goddess to domestic goddess?

Angie's last two awards-baiting flicks, A Mighty Heart and Changeling, had Mama Jolie playing a seriously stressed-out mom, as opposed to, say, the wild-child type of role that actually won her an Oscar so many moons ago in Girl, Interrupted. It's been a long time since Ange was a reckless vixen, both onscreen and off. And if you're counting last year's Wanted as Jolie at the epitome of sexy, her veiny, bony arms say otherwise.

Basically, the last time A.J. bared all, she was in CGI in Beowulf. What happened to your unashamed eroticism in Gia, girlfriend? Or Original Sin? Is breastfeeding on a magazine cover the most we're gonna see of that once hot bod? At 33, Ange is way too young to be throwing in the sexpot towel—Marisa Tomei's 44 and is still stripping like a pro!
