LMAO at the image of Megan Fox with the headline “My Gyno Talked To My Vagina”. I know Megan didn’t say that, but it’s really cracking me up. Remember how Megan used to be all about the TMI in interviews, to the point where she was just making stuff up and talking out of her ass? For a moment, I was like, “Oh, she talking about her pap smears now. Good.” Anyway… Megan covers the April issue of Cosmo, likely to promote her small, supporting part in Friends With Kids. Megan is like… I don’t even know, the sixth lead in the film? And she gets a Cosmo cover for that? In addition to appearing on the covers of Miami and Angeleno Magazines? It’s overkill, which is Megan’s specialty when she’s promoting a film. That being said, I like the cover image a lot – great hair, and her face doesn’t look crazy and jacked. Here are some excerpts from the cover interview:
On her tough-girl image: “It’s because I have tattoos and I say curse words, and apparently, that’s crazy. I think maybe I give off this energy of seeming like I don’t give a f–k, and that’s misinterpreted. But I’m not wild.”
On first meeting now-husband Brian Austin Green: “I didn’t know who he was, since I was too young for Beverly Hills 90210. But the first time I saw him, I got butterflies. And the first time he casually touched me? There was so much electricity…. We’ve had obstacles, and we’ve overcome them. I truly feel like he’s my soul mate. I don’t want to sound corny or cliché, but I do believe we are destined to live this part of our lives together.”
On becoming a mother: “I want at least two, probably three [kids]. I’ve always been maternal…. I’m a homebody – I’m not wild.”
[From Cosmopolitan & The Mail]
I will give Megan credit – she’s not a party girl. She’s not a Lohan. She’s not some high-functioning addict with famewhore tendencies. She can go months without getting pap’d. She only does interviews when she’s promoting something. I buy that she spends most of her time at home, with her husband and her stepson. And I kind of like her claim that BAG is her “soul mate” – it is corny, but it’s cute. It’s a new media strategy for Megan, and it’s working for me. Is it working for you?

I kind of like her. It seems like she wants a normal life in an abnormal world. She could lay off the cosmetic treatments though. She’s not an airhead and that’s refreshing.
Personally, I’ve always liked Megan and felt she got crucified for calling out the industry.
I work in the industry. She wasn’t wrong about she said. Michael Bay is a &*(^, and people (women especially) get treated like meat.
I’m glad she’s continuing to make (somewhat) positive choices — sans the face-jackin’ — and that she’s finally getting some positive credit for a change.
i’m warming up to her as well. i feel like when she came on the scene she just played the “sexy bad girl” thing up b/c someone (an agent?) told her to. now that’s she’s been around for awhile, she’s learned the ropes and she’s finally being herself…which is way better! i totally buy that she’s a homebody b/c we rarely ever see her at any parties.
I like her,too. I hope she and BAG have kids, they will be adorable.
I want to talk to her lady parts
Ha ha! Awesome.
Well since she’s been with him for I think what 7 years now. I would say yeah, they could be soul mates. If soul mates existed. I’m sure they are bff’s cause I don’t see her out with anyone but him.
I get embarassed for the Cosmo writers just reading the cover.
Who on Earth buys it?
What, you’re not DYING to know what really “flips a guy’s switch”? Personally, the curiosity is killing me..
It’s just awfully similar to last month’s: “69 Sexy Sex Moves to Sex his Sex into Sexing Sexily (See what we did there? 69 moves? Because 69 is a sex thing? Get it!? Sex.)”.
I clipped and saved that one, so I’m all good.
Oh no-I missed last month’s issue and 96’d with my boyfriend instead of 69’d. No wonder he dumped my ass!
See, ladies? This is why we must NEVER miss an issue of Cosmo.
Hi Asli! 🙂
Yeah it’s so true. These days, teenage girls have access to the internet at such an early age that most can find the answers to all their myriad sex questions. Cosmo is pretty irrelevant…
Sounds like Courtney Stodden is a ghost writer for Cosmo. If they start alliterating excessively I’ll know my hunch is correct.
Ha ha, Asli-I was just kidding 🙂
Just being sarcastic about the silliness that is Cosmo 🙂
@ Morticians-DEFINITELY! This is Stodden-caliber writing for sure. Has her signature desperation…
@asli, perhaps Stodder was her real Surname and her family changed it when they emigrated in order to throw us off 😜 If that’s the case, she should change it back and let Doug take her last name.
@kitten, yep! Desperate is the first adjective that comes to mind when I think of her!
She looks really pretty here. Let’s hope she lay off the botox and fillers
She’s always grated on my last nerve but I like her and BAG together. They seem to have something genuine because really, what’s in it for her? Not like the dude is some superstar. I even smiled when I read the quote about the “electricity” she felt when he casually touched her. Sounds like some serious chemistry between the two of them. Good for them! 🙂
BAG is fugly
The proof is in the pudding…her and BAG have been together for YEARS…have weathered HUGE upheavels…she is low-key and loves being a close friend to her stepson…Not to mention she handled that last Transformer publicity catastrophe with…dare I say…Grace?
Who would have thought that Meagan Fox would end up being one of the most level headed young actresses out there?
I have to give it to her she has toned it down a bit. I hope her and BAG make it and that they have those two to three kids. Is it crazy that I am hoping for a career comeback for her?
I’d personally be ok with her fading into obscurity. Agree with others that she is beautiful and seems like an ok chick. But listen-there’s no shortage of beautiful women skating by on mediocre talent in Hollywood, I don’t think losing Megan Fox would be a huge deal.
everytime a celeb starts talking corny and loud about their partner (‘We’re soooo in love’ / ‘We have the bestest sex’ yadiya) I’m giving them the side-eye and an eyeroll.
Too many times has talk like that been followed with a separation.
Then again, maybe I’m just a cynical bitch today
I totally agree with you.
She actually reminds me of Michelle Duggar and her marriage tips, in that she’s talking so much about it that I start to disbelieve her.
After a while, peoples’ first thought is “overcompensation”.
I hope Fox and BAG are happy. But I just wish she’d stop talking and make some good films. That would really shut the haterz up, amirite?
Gotta admit, I thought the same thing. I do like her, though.
I really like her. Glad to see she’s working.
Hmmm…all this talk has got me wondering what BAG’s dong is like. Yeah I know..ew. But still kinda curious…..
Well, there was a pic floating around at one time of her grabbing him under the table that might answer your question if you can find it.
I’m sure you won’t have a hard time, considering one of the search options is “Brian Austin Green bulge.” haha!
Ha ha..that is awesome and proof that all bulges are search-worthy. No bulge is too insignificant. Hold on, *gets magnifying glass* let me get to work on this…
@kitten, please report back on your findings.
Yes @kitten, please because BAG is fugly and I just cant with him *shudders* so this might redeem him- HA!
I feel like she got a raw deal with that whole MB thing. Hopefully, enough time has passed and she can get more work.
I get a totally bad vibe off of BAG – she needs to ditch him and fast.
She looks supremely jacked on the Cosmo cover. She’s so beautiful that I find it baffling that she would start that crap so young.
I get a bad vibe from him too. He strikes me as controlling.
because BAG is FUG and he knows he’s a very lucky man for someone like Megan to even want to be w/him… remember when he was “rapping” back/during the 90210 days? *VOM*
Cheesy, totally; but 7 years in Hollywood it’s like 14 human years. Plus, and I give her a lot of credit for this, when she was on top, she must have had a lot of pressure for breaking up with him, and do some pr hookup (can you imagine Megan Fox in the Transformers era dating Robert Pattinson??) but she didn’t.
Well, there was that brief fling with Shia LeBoff (which he conformed). I think she was on the verge of playing the trade-up-for-fame-game and started to believe her own hype (which is why she called out Michael Bay). However, when he smacked her down, it brought her back down to earth. Perhaps she needed that to regain her humility. Either way, I hope Bay and Shia get what’s coming to them because they are both a-holes of the highest order.
She and Brian are pretty hot together. She looks great on that cover, too!
It sounds like she’s slowly learning how to compose herself in interviews. I wonder if she has a new PR person.
She’s always seemed like a socially backward, awkward chick who didn’t know how to handle the sudden popularity and fame. And that’s why she keeps jacking up her face, I think–complete insecurity.
Calling out MB wasn’t the smartest thing she could have done, but it was the truth, and I can’t blame her for telling it. Between MB and Shia LaDouche, she got a raw deal.
I think its narcissism. Dont think celebrities are excluded from this illness. Most narcissists (2 types: primary like the mom on Precious and secondary like a personality that is all about me!) are drawn to the limelight. I have dated girls like her who werent even THAT hot but thought they were and thought they could do it all. Not a humble bone in them. Not one genuine girlfriend either, just narcissitic supply yes people or guys they treetrunk. Severely insecure but grandiose over inflated confidence.
They are hard to spot but if you dont even look, you wont see it. I can see girls like her a mile away. They are not normal girls. (Strippers are also abnormal. Very psychologically and personality/character challenged.) They arent very bright either, just manipulative and charming. I dont think Michael was very wrong for pointing out how dumb she is and unfortunately it is a man’s world, what did she expect in Hollywood? Notice how smart women are hated by both men and women.
I think she is smart to stay away hidden and quiet so n one will find out. Notice how even other celebritiesdont know her. And enough with the surgeries. They dont fix insecurities but age the beauty that she had. I cant believe she is 25! Looks 35.
He’s her soul mate, so she’s destined to spend THIS PART of her life with him? I thought soul mates were eternal?
Please, go back home and be with your soul mate. I have zero desire to watch you in anything.
that caught my attention too. “THIS part of their lives?” Hhhmm. HE seems to be aging badly.
I love that she admits that they’ve had problems, but they’ve worked them out. Too many people don’t realize that relationships are work– and it makes her seem really grounded. Not the image she used to project.
this is KARDASHIAN type of hairstyle. Huge and weavy and tacky
She is a doll. I found being in my early twenties, 20, 21, after a breakup going to bars and nightclubs empty. She seems to appreciate what she has and puts effort into it.
She made herself look bad, but I am starting to warm to her.
She sounds so much better in interviews now. Like she finally grew up.
She is so beautiful. I don’t know why she would have had plastic surgery!
I like her more and more as time goes on. When I saw the first Transformers movie I couldn’t watch her acting and had to turn it off. I thought she was a flake and had an immediate hate-on for her until I started reading some of her interviews and stuff she has to say about her life and her hubby. She seems more down to earth than I would have expected and her love for her husband is admirable. It seems very genuine. I don’t know if her acting has improved because I think the last thing I saw her on was an episode of Two & a Half Men and I have no idea if that was before or after Transformers. BUT I do plan on watching Friends with Kids because of the Hamm dong…
Dating myself remember when HGB and Scavullo actually made cosmo relevant with great covers – not photoshopped – of 80s/90s supermodels; Megafarse is nothing compared to Niki Taylor, Yasmeen Ghauri back in the day;
I don’t like her her real personality came out in the second Transformer – spoiled, ungrateful, dislikable, so she has a better pr team now big whoop; she needs to go back to the trailer park and the teeter totter –
Please there’s nothing charming, sophisticated, cosmopolitan or intellectual about her; she’s mediocre in every way.
I’m starting to really like her quite a lot. I like that she’s humble enough to rebuild her career by taking small roles, rather than leads in shiteous films. I also think her long term relationship (VERY long by Hollywood standards) says good things about her. She can’t be *that* insufferable.
Go Meg!
RE: Cosmo being irrelevant, as a former newspaper reporter who now spends my working hours troubleshooting workers’ compensation claims for pharmacies (ugh), I can attest to the fact that sadly, all print media is becoming irrelevant. 🙁 I’ll miss newspapers, but I won’t miss Cosmo lol
Oh … Megan Fox. I like her, she seems like a nice person with some spunk (I sound like my mom). But yes, please God make her leave her face alone, no more tweaking!
Not sure about the soul mates thing but I do believe her and BAG truly love each other… he’s stuck with her through thick and thin.
Yeah that little thing called “sleeping with Shia” seems to still be floating around when I see her. She seems icky to me since that story came out.
Ryan Gosling? I thought it was ASkars!
Love that she wasn’t old enough to know 90210 – guess he met his match – ha!
I like Megan. She hasn’t played the young and wild card.She chose Green over all of the other knobs in Hollywood. She didn’t choose the person that would advance her career, keep her in the spotlight, or because publicists set it up . Her decision of Green reflects her personaility, and its not vain or shallow choice.
Im speculating here:
I think BAG isnt controlling but a sucker. I think he is too caring that his 2 women take advantage of him. Vanessa Marcil seems like a lil piece of work and even got $200k from him! And Megan seems liek she was made from that same thread as Vanessa. Maybe they are soul mates but I dont think it is all a healthy domestic life. There are rumors that they have had physical fights around Hollywood and an open relationship. I have seen abusive marriages last a lifetime and men get abused. Some men unfortunately like bitches just like some good girls like douchebags. I think BAG helps ground her but sometimes the person that helps the most, gets hurt the most. Im not holding my breath for these 2. If they do last, I wonder the quality of the relationsip behind closed doors. Megan actually seems like the conrtolling one, not Brian.
Speculation here. Idk any of them.
He is a BAG and she could do so much better, but hey, clearly she loves the guy so, I honestly hope it works out. She is so young and I can’t help feeling that this relationship will end badly for her because he is a BAG!
I’ve had a lot of bad experiences with hot girls with no self-esteem. I dont trust Megan even with this new PR campaign. A lot of these types of people are the most likeliest to turn around and backstab you as fast as possible.
I also dont believe in soulmates. Its like winning the lottery. I have seen every type of marriage and personality types and compatiblity gets divorced. Since Hollywood is just as harsh as real life, I think its 50/50 or 75% of divorces. I am not even completely believing mine can last forever and its pretty good.
oh honey, those hot girls do not have low self esteem, they only pretend to be that way so people will approac them! they all secretly think wow i’m pretty hot. i’ve had some admit that to me and like you i also had bad experiences with them. they’re just so shallow that just because they’re hot they have a lot of self confidence when it should be based on one’s personality. as for megan though, none of this hot self is really her, and she secretly knows that, so i guess she does have low self confidence just a bit. that rippling forehead to prove she has no botox proved that she had waning botox but only around the arches of her brows. nobody’s forehead does that icky thing which is why the docs actually thought she would be capable of successfully photoshopping that. it’s a shame that she ran her mouth over and over in 2007 to establish herself as a bad wild girl a la angelina, whom she obviously wanted to look like. she posed like her over and over so just like the plastic surgeons i can believe she went to the office carrying a photo of jolie. that story of her getting lap dances from a non existent stripper turned out to be fake and then i saw her for the dumb ass she really is-did she think that wouldn’t come out? and in this age of information?
I’ve always liked her, despite the verbal diarrhea. Also, the quote: “I don’t want to sound corny or cliché, but I do believe we are destined to live this part of our lives together.” A great line with nice sentiment that can’t be thrown back in her face if they ever break up — Either she’s getting better counsel, better PR firm, or she’s grown/matured somewhat and actually believes this. Could be all-the-above, but heavier on option 3, which makes me like her more.
ugh. he looks nasty and violent. She can do better.
I dont think this will last another 7-10 years. I do see her trading up in the future. BAG isnt that big in Hollywood and one day she will want a real career. She will use her new husband to look/become better.
