Megan Fox has landed a brand new TV role in one of our favourite sitcoms.  FOX network has announced that the 29-year-old will join the cast of New Girl during Zooey Deschanel's maternity leave. Megan is currently filming the sequel to Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles.  In a press release, the network revealed that Megan will star as "Raegan, a gorgeous, straight-shooting pharmaceutical sales rep who comes to town on business and shakes things up in the loft when she rents out Jess' (Zooey Deschanel's) room while she is sequestered on jury duty". Executive producer of the show, Liz Meriweather, joked: “It’s insane to me that such a gorgeous person can be so funny, but I guess we just all have to accept it. "I’ve been a fan of her comedic skills since This Is 40, and I’m so excited to have her on the show. We had Megan in mind when we wrote this part – she’s the perfect person to come in and shake these guys up." Megan will fill in for Zooey's maternity leave.  Speaking of shaking things up, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles star has returned to Instagram after a five month break. Posting a black and white selfie, the star captioned the photo: "I'm still here".

Hi. I'm still here, I just continue to have an angsty relationship with social media. But what better way to express my apprehension than with a selfie. This time in black n white! ??
