It's official: Megan Fox files for divorce from Brian Austin Green

The Megan Fox/Brian Austin Green breakup took a turn for the official on Friday 

The "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" actress filed her petition in Los Angeles County Superior Court, citing irreconcilable differences, according to documents obtained by the Los Angeles Times.

The 29-year-old, represented by purported "disso queen" Laura Wasser -- think "dissolution of marriage" -- said she and the "Beverly Hills, 90210" actor separated on June 15, 2015, after five years as husband and wife. Fox is seeking joint legal and physical custody of their two sons: Noah Shannon, 2, and Bodhi Ransom, 18 months. Green, 42, has another son from a previous relationship.

Though most of the couple's separate and community property is yet to be determined, Fox listed miscellaneous jewelry and other personal effects, as well as earnings and accumulations from the date of separation, as her separate property.

It's unclear whether Green has filed a response to the petition.

The two had no prenuptial agreement, TMZ said, so earnings during their five-year marriage will likely be dubbed community property and allocated evenly. The website also said the split was amicable and that Fox and Green are still living in the same home.

Affleck and Garner, who met while costarring in 2003's "Daredevil," announced they'd be divorcing in June just a day after their 10-year wedding anniversary and a month after split rumors bubbled up. The actors said that they "go forward with love and friendship for one another" and commitment to co-parenting their three children.

Jon Hamm and Jennifer Westfeldt, one of Hollywood's longest-running committed-but-not-married celebrity couples, called it quits in early September. Hamm, 44, and Westfeldt, 45, said in a joint statement, "With great sadness, we have decided to separate, after 18 years of love and shared history."

They met when the actress was 18, while shooting her sitcom "Hope and Faith." Green proposed twice before they wed in Hawaii on June 24, 2010. Fox called off their first engagement in February 2009.

News of their separation went public earlier this week, with several reports claiming that they had been separated for six months already -- contrary to the legal date of separation listed on Fox's petition.

Megan Fox lashes out at critics of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Fox joins Michael Bay, producer of TMNT, in hitting out at the films' detractors in no uncertain terms 

Megan Fox has said fans who criticise the latest big screen outings for Transformers and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles should "fuck off".

Speaking at a press conference in Los Angeles on 1 August, the actor said cinemagoers would be lining up to see the new take on the "heroes in a half-shell" just as they had flocked to see the critically derided Transformers sequel Age of Extinction.

"Let me tell you something about those people," said Fox. "How much money did Transformers 4 make? Exactly. Those people can complain – they all go to the theatre. They're gonna love it – and if they don't love it, they can fuck off, and that's the end of that."

The actor's comments are a more strident version of the barbs made two years ago by Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles producer Michael Bay – also the director of the Transformers films – after early criticism of his proposal to retool the reptilian heroes as "lovable aliens". "Fans need to take a breath, and chill," the film-maker responded in a statement. "They have not read the script."

The proposal to alter the turtles' origins was abandoned, and trailers for the forthcoming film, the fifth in the franchise, have been received positively. But Fox's comments suggest the film-making team may not be as sensitive to fans' concerns as previously thought.

She may have a point with regard to Transformers. By the weekend of 2-3 August, Age of Extinction passed the $1bn (£594,279m) mark at the global box office, becoming the 18th film ever to do so, despite derisive reviews. It currently maintains a rating of just 18% on the review aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes, the franchise's lowest.

Fox's comments, which were first reported by Cinema Blend, are just the latest gaffe to hit Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, which is nevertheless expected to perform strongly at the box office. Paramount was last week forced to apologise for a publicity poster emblazoned with the words "September 11" and featuring a picture of the turtles hurtling from a burning building. The promotional material had been intended to publicise the film's Australian release

Has telling fans to "fuck off" become a trend in Hollywood? Simon Pegg hit out at "Trekkie" enthusiasts who voted JJ Abrams' Star Trek Into Darkness the worst film in the series in August last year, while screenwriter Bob Orci later used similar phrasing to hit out at a fan who did not like the movie on an online forum.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, starring Fox as reporter and turtle confidante April O'Neil, with William Fichtner as one of the villains and Johnny Knoxville as the voice of turtle Leonardo, arrives in US cinemas on 8 August and UK multiplexes on 17 October.
