There's already been a lot of hubbub surrounding some of the changes made for Michael Bay's Ninja Turtles reboot, but one thing the production is keen to replicate from the original series is April O'Neil's red hair. However, that little point of continuity has already backfired on star Megan Fox.

According to Star Magazine (via Digital Spy ), going red has been a complicated issue for the former Transformers actress, and the results are reportedly not pretty. Here's the insider's quote:"After dying [Fox's] mane red for her role as April O'Neil in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle remake, producers hated the result and sent her back to the salon for a redo, which wreaked havoc on her once-lush locks. She went to a different stylist, and they ended up using a metallic hair dye that reacted to the initial product. Next thing you know, her hair started falling out in clumps!"Yikes! So what's a girl to do? One eyewitness states that "[Fox] had to get extensions underneath the top layer of hair. It's left her terribly self-conscious." Friends of the actress, meanwhile, claim the story isn't true -- and it might not be. We have no photographic evidence to prove one way or the other. What we do know, of course, is that too many hair dye treatments can cause breaking and even hair falling out. So...Ninja Turtles is scheduled to hit theaters on June 6, 2014.
