Did FHM US send these sizzling Megan Fox images to FHM UK on a manually peddled boat? That would explain the three year gap. Not that anyone would mind seeing these superbly foxy takes again.
The white hot cover and spread of the latest FHM UK July 2008 issue turned out to be an old shoot that was featured in FHM US's November 2005 issue!
While reusing photo shoots across international versions of a publication is nothing new, this huge time gap is very peculiar. Who knows, maybe Megan Fox demanded much more money after her recent Transformers success?
The images were shot by Steven White and feature Fox in seductive poses in white lingerie. The cover shot has Fox wearing nothing but a strategically placed white sheet.
Megan Fox is currently the focus of a media storm speculating if she and her two years fiancé, actor Brian Austin Green, are still together.
