Answer

The speaker/writer probably just thought it was fun to say it that way.  They might have also liked the rhyme between "not" and "hot."

It's weird to use "It's" instead of "She's" like that, though.  If it was really "It's" then they might be parodying some kind of saying that looks like "It's not un-__" that I'm unaware of.  Some phrases that get parodied are "Beef.  It's what's for dinner" and "Pork: the other white meat."  I have no idea what the inspiration for "Megan Fox. It's not un-hot" could be.  There is a song called "It's not unusual," but I don't think that's it.

They might have picked "It" to sound weird and possibly fun, too.

Do you have context from where this was read?

Answer

"It's not un-hot" is less hot than "It's hot".
She really means that it isn't bad, without really saying that it is terribly good.
It is similar to "It's not bad" and "It's good".

Answer

My guess is that the writer was using double negatives (not & un-) as a way of emphasizing how obvious the statement was that they were making about Megan Fox.

It's two different ways of expressing a similar idea. (one similar to slang "It's not un-hot ", one correct "It's hot ")

Answer

Some people invent new words daily when they can't think of the right word to use
