Megan Fox underwear film gets an online thumbs up

Rarely has a film starring Megan Fox been as eagerly anticipated as her latest effort - an advert for Emporio Armani in which the actress parades around in her underwear showing off her tattoos, and enviable physique.

The film star has not had great success with her choice of roles lately - her most recent movies Passion Play and Jonah Hex hardly pulled up any trees at the box office. But agreeing to become the face, and body, of the designer label is a career move that has paid off handsomely for the 24-year-old.

This week a trailer for the full ad, which will come out next month, was released. It gives viewers a glimpse of what the Transformers star has been up to recently. It appears she has spent a lot of time reclining on benches and sofas while wearing not very much, and also got trapped under a sheet of gauze - possibly while re-enacting scenes from the video for Prince's 1986 hit Kiss.

Predictably the trailer has become an instant hit on YouTube, even though several of the shots are just filmed versions of poster adverts that have already appeared on billboards across the world.

The full version of the risque advert, for Emporio Armani's 2011 underwear and jeans range, is due to air in the next few weeks. ·
