(CBS) Megan Fox has been busy  promoting her new film, “Friends with Kids,” which centers around two friends (Adam Scott, Jennifer Westfeldt) who decide to conceive and raise a child together while maintaining a plutonic relationship.

Fox, who plays a love interest for Scott’s character, told  CBSNews.com at a recent New York screening of the comedy  that such a child-raising partnership wouldn’t be for her.

“I could never do it,” Fox said. “I could never pull it off. But maybe some people could get away with it and be happy with the results. I just…I worry about it.”

The 25-year-old sex symbol stars in this independent feature alongside several cast members from last year’s smash hit “Bridesmaids,” including Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph, Jon Hamm, and Chris O’Dowd, who made a strong impression on Fox.

“[Chris O'Dowd is] so hysterical and so strange and so inappropriate with his humor,” Fox said, “And I was crying, watching him do his scenes and listening to him improv under his breath.”

But with such an ensemble cast, Fox pointed out, all her co-stars were impressive. “There’s so many actors in this that are just geniuses. And it was amazing to get to just watch them work and observe them in their natural habitat.”

“Friends with Kids” was written and directed by Westfeldt, who is also the long-time partner of “Mad Men” star Jon Hamm. The comedy opens in theaters on Friday.

Megan Fox and Zoe Saldana, two of Hollywood’s hottest actress, are teaming up for a spec script for Paramount Pictures.

The new project, titled ‘Swindle,’ sees Fox and Saldana getting tough for an action and heist themed plot. The film will be produced by ‘Moneyball’ producer Michael de Luca alongside Fox and Saldana.

While details are being kept very hush hush, the spec script was allegedly chased down by both Paramount and Universal, meaning it’s got to be a good project as both studios were working hard to get it.

According to Deadline, the film is a result of Fox and Saldana desiring to work with each other.

Fox, whose appearances in the ‘Transformers’ films catapulted her to fame, took a more comedic route recently with the film ‘Friends with Kids,’ which is in theaters now. Saldana found huge fame through the 2009 mega-hit ‘Avatar,’ and has several other project coming up the pipeline.

Megan Fox, who can currently be seen in “Friends With Kids” has been ranked as one of the world’s sexiest woman on more than one occasion. Yet it seems that the raven haired beauty is thinking of leaving Hollywood to become…an archaeologist. The pin-up has been in some major films, such as “Transformers” but perhaps she’d like to give all that up in order to explore the world. In a recent interview with MTV, Fox revealed her plans:

“I would really love to go on an archaeological dig. I have an offer to go somewhere in England but I would rather go to Egypt or Syria or some place like that.”

That’s great news for all the male archaeologists currently traipsing through Egypt or Syria but bad news for fans that feel Fox belongs on the big screen or burning up newsstands with sultry photo shoots. Not to worry, Fox is set to star in the upcoming “The Dictator” with Sacha Barron Cohen and is this month’s Cosmo covergirl. And even if she does start digging for artifacts in the near future, there’s plenty of covers for fanboys to drool over while she’s away.
