“Not dead yet!”

They needed room for Megan Fox's ego?

Oh my poor DH - not only does he have to sit through Transformers, he has to wrangle 3 13-year-old boys hopped up on candy and soda.

Always Anti-fascist!

For serious. Even I know the response to "the next Jolie," is "I'm not worthy," or "gee, thanks." NOT "No! Am Megan. Am own special snowflake!" and I got a C in my one PR course.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

"No! Am Megan. Am own special snowflake!"

Have you read the interview in Entertainment Weekly ? She doesn't sound like that at all. I was rather surprised. She doesn't seem to think much of herself and completely agrees that all the attention being showered on her is weird and unwarranted.

Then why are people so obsessed with you and hiring you for movies?
I can't figure that out. I mean, Transformers made $700 million and that opened a door to introduce this ''new girl,'' and I happened to be such an outrageous personality that people wanted to start writing about me because it was deemed controversial. I think if I had been a typical Hollywood actress and I said all the right things and I had been a publicity android, it wouldn't have escalated to this level.

Is all the attention mysterious?
Yes. I don't feel like I had to climb a ladder, so it doesn't feel like I've earned it.

And re: Angelina Jolie...

There have been a lot of comparisons between you and Angelina Jolie.
I think it's a lack of creativity on the media's part. Because I have tattoos and dark hair and I was in an action movie? That's as far as the similarities extend. I'm not the next anyone.

You've said you're afraid of her.
I was joking! She always seems otherworldly in her power and her confidence. I'm sure she has no idea who I am. But if I were her, I'd be like, ''Who the f--- is this little bulls--- brat who was in Transformers that's going to be the next me?'' I don't want to meet her; I'd be embarrassed.

Nah...once someone famous annoys me, I'm probably off them(one advantage of them being strangers I don't have to be nice to) I'm very forgiving of the ones I like though...I forgave Grenier for hanging out with Paris Hilton.(I'm weak, but he's pretty...I'd have him flea-dipped first now, of course.) But I suppose I shouldn't be surprised somebody made her look like a jerk over that(or Shauna went into super-fast damage-control mode, one of the two.)

That EW interview came in the wake of a few others where she came off as a total ass. So I suspect that's actually her version of damage control.

So, that's one point for Shauna(why do I have the urge to start filing my nails now?)

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

We're watching Zach & Miri Make a Porno right now. I kinda love it.

Compassionately intolerant

The Daily Mail has a feature today claiming that Megan Fox is a thimble brain. Hard to know, coming from a gossip rag. I've never seen her interviewed.

I'm sad that Trans 2 is getting such bad press. I could really use some mindless fun this weekend.
