Why is Megan Fox no longer ubiquitous?

fp_6286826_foxgreen_lunch_lrr_07_17

These are some new photos of Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green out and about in LA yesterday. These are the first new photos we’ve had of Megan in a while. And I’m just writing about these photos too – it’s not like there’s some new Fox interview, or some gigantic story about her today or anytime recently.

Which brings me to my question – is it just me, or has Megan Fox’s popularity and ubiquity faded just as quickly as it surged? For a few years there, every single dude was in agreement: Megan Fox was The Hottest Chick. And then *poof* she was gone. Not really “gone” but it just seems like dudes don’t really give a crap anymore. Is it because she left/got fired from Transformers? Is it because she wouldn’t stop saying dumb, ridiculous crap in every interview? Is it because she married BAG and now she’s no longer theoretically up for hot sex with randoms? Or is it because Megan was messing with her face so much that for her last promotional tour, she looked like a Gigantor-headed Botox Monster? All are solid possibilities.

I have to say this, though – I like that she’s not one of those girls who feels the need to pap themselves constantly (coughBilsonBosworthcough). I like that she’s been away from the public eye for a couple of months. I also like that, in these photos, she really dressed down and she also looks like she’s stopped messing with her face. BAG looks kind of hot too.

Also – Megan has been working. She’s currently filming Friends With Kids… working with JON HAMM. For the love of God. The film is written and directed by The Hamm’s lover Jennifer Westfeldt. Would you let Megan Fox around your man? What if your man was The Hamm? If I was with The Hamm, I would make him a dong-chastity belt.

    Because she’s boring and talentless, she messed up her face, and she tries to copy Angelina Jolie with her stupid tattoos, but without the humanitarian stuff.

  2. Megan says:

    she looks high as f*ck!

  3. wonderwoman21 says:

    I think it was the botox face and the dumb crap she says. Plus, she wears a lot of makeup to look that good. That never goes over well after awhile.

  4. jover says:

    Jc126 I would add: the public has roundly rejected her and is over her – didn’t she do a movie with Mickey Rourke called Passion Play did it even open in the US; she has no intelligence, personality, let alone feminine beauty, grace, charm, style, etc. – she was wholly ungrateful for what meager success she had, and the public is tired of this procession of plastic bimbos that make tons of money with no talent and act like their rear’s are golden. Good riddance.

  5. LololoL says:

    All of the above

  6. heatheradair says:

    damn – what I wouldn’t give to steal that girl’s legs. and maybe her hair.

    sorta feel like the hamm’s woman would dangle The Jolie in front of his face just to smugly prove to all of us haters that she DOES have a choke hold on his man parts, and he’s HERS TIL THEY DIE.

  7. Jeri says:

    Maybe she’s listening to someone who actually has some common sense. Quit papping herself and concentrate on acting, not appearances.

  8. The_Porscha says:

    I think it’s the dumb stuff. I watched “Jonah Hex” with my boyfriend a week ago, and I made some comment about how pretty I think she is (yes, I know it’s fake, but still… sue me)and he kind of made a “meh” sound and said, “I used to think she was gorgeous… but she’s just soooo stupid. I can’t take it. I look at her and see dumb now.”

  9. Dominique says:

    I’d bang the both of them.

  10. smile says:

    BAG is really unattractive, not hot, and he is a mediocre actor too, don’t like him on Desperate Housewives at all.
    Megan is not relevant anymore because she cannot act and has no charisma.
    Dudes don’t give a crap anymore because her face is ruined, her unique appeal is gone with botox and she isn’t hot anymore, actually she is getting ugly, deformed, that’s why.

  11. Jezi says:

    Megan Fox isn’t the brightest bulb in the box and she did go overboard on the plastic surgery and I’m happy she’s finally looking a bit better. I like her though, in a way. I think she’s attractive even without all the makeup.

  12. Delta Juliet says:

    I don’t think it has anything to do with her stupid interviews or plastic surgery. Do guys even give a crap about that stuff? They like a pretty face and a hot body (I mean when looking at celebrities, not as in relationship-material). I think she has disappeared simply due to short attention-spans.

    Oh, and thank God.

  13. Green Is Good says:

    Why was Megan Fox relevant again? Oh, yeah, The Transformers movies. And the multitude of semi-nude photos shoots she couldn’t stop doing.

    Her 15 minutes expired at 13 1/2.

  14. Roxanne75 says:

    Green is hot…yikes, I never thought I would say that after growing up and watching in on 90210–he was embarrassing to like then! Like he tried so hard and was a wannabe…I don’t know, that’s just my memory but now he is smokin!

  15. Solveig says:

    Probably nobody cares about her because she’s been out of the spotlight for a while. And if your not an icon or don’t have a solid career, the only way to stay relevant in the showbiz is to be on the cover of every magazine every week.
    I just hope that she’s stopped messing with her face, but I sort of miss her delirious, deep, philosophical rants.

  16. viper says:

    -.-

    MEGA FARCE

    People do not like liars. Nor individuals that go about their lives with obvious ingenine emotions. In addition to the fact that the girl is a loss not a gain in business. You’d spend more money making her look good than actually gaining any money from those looks. She’s not even an investment let alone somthing marketable anymore – and it’s all her fault; whther she wants to admit it or do what she’s always done and blame other people for it.

    You have real beauties from jolie to crofort who are a decade older than her and she’s literally older looking than them. She went under the knife and needle needlessly and even got her teeth worked on. What did that acomplish? Nothing,was it worth it absolutely not. Money she wasted on a very fleeing and temperary gift. Instead of investing that money on school or acting classes.

  17. clorismetchum says:

    i agree with the poster saying she’d bang both of them. hell YES. they could make a cloris sandwich ANYTIME!

  18. The Truth Fairy says:

    I was searching for her cute “bag” until I realized BAG is Brian Austen Green lol

  19. bored says:

    Here here Isabel!

  20. jack says:

    No beauty, no talents = not relevant anymore.

  21. becky says:

    kaiser – but what if getting papped + fab free clothes + accessories before they even hit stores cough*bilson*cough. would u still be against it?
    i’d like to think i wouldn’t, but at the end of the day im a total fashion whore

  22. LN says:

    Green is hot?????Are you kidding?????

  23. viper says:

    Yeah I’m not seeing teh appeal of BAG either.

  24. nnn says:

    Megan Fox in all her stupidity has just outsold hersef as a quick consumption good.

    We tasted it, we eated it, digested it and flushed it.

    Instead of opting for finesse, selling herself in her own individuality like a refine meal that is getting better and better, she opted for the quick mac do type of food sprinkled with verbal diarrhea.

    At some point, you get constipated with that type of food and reject it.

    I beleive that her future is on TV.

  25. Crash2GO2 says:

    Hey, she gets huge props from me for not being a Lindsey Lohan type; papping herself repeatedly, showing up to the opening of an envelope, and vamping it up making sessy faces whenever a camera is pointed in her direction. She has a husband, a stepson and an actual career and is going about her daily business.

  26. gee says:

    I don’t know why but she’s grown on me. She isn’t focused on shocking us with her sex appeal 24/7 and she seems like she is in a healthy relationship and she is very pretty. Go figure.

  27. Cyui says:

    She got over saying stuff to mess with peoples heads. Now she’s married and working . Get for her. I thought she was bangin when she came out then she went with her attention seeking dialogue . Glad she stopped cause in her last couple if interviews she seemed like an interesting nice person.

  28. Hakura says:

    It does seem her like her popularity took a big hit. I really think it was a mistake, from a PR perspective, for her to get married.

    That did take her right off the market, and given the fact that she doesn’t have the grace of charm that a lot of other actresses have, not being ‘available’ for a random lay does lose her a lot of ‘appeal’ for a guy. She’s obviously a moron, and a stuck up bitch on top of it, so that’s really all they were in it for. xD

  29. summer_solstice says:

    Actresses like Megan have a shelf life. You can only be the “hot” girl for so long. There is always someone new around the corner.

    But despite all of the crazy things she says in interviews, she seems like an okay person. She is kinda low key and not a total train wreck.

  30. anti says:

    she is mega-HIGH…

  31. ahha says:

    she was Paris Hilton. Cannot be in demand forever.

  32. louise says:

    I think it was overexposure and her dumb interviews annoyed people, even men. Also Megan always dresses down in public. Very rarely do I see her in anything other than jeans and t-shirts.

  33. jayem says:

    I really hate when people call her Mega Farse or play with people’s names in general. It’s. So. Stupid.

    Anyway, BAG does look pretty hot. But I’ve been thinking that since he showed up in the Terminator tv series.

  34. Raziel says:

    You might want to change that “every man” I think she’s ok, never understood the she’s the sexiest thing.

  35. Jacqueline says:

    Here in America I noticed people either have nothing to talk about or no lives, or very short attention spans. Megan got seriously played out and all those stupid quotes didn’t help either. From her old google pictures, she’s unrecognizable today. She’s ruined if she ever counted professionally. I guess Michael Bay got his revenge in the industry.

  36. Arianna says:

    i actually like her. sue me.
    compared to most everyone in the industry, people have stupid phases. you can’t say the paps didnt fuck with her a bit, supposedly misquoting her and stuff.

    i would have more respect for her if she didnt resort to botox and such so early, but nonetheless she still is gorgeous. and she just strikes me as a down to earth person

  37. Snarky_Pup says:

    I think it’s a combo of all mentioned plus like another poster said, men have short attention spans. Megan doesn’t have what it takes to remain in the public eye for a long time. Her looks are too fakey and she puts her foot in her mouth all of the time. There are hundreds of hot wannabes out there ready to take her place (like that VS model who looks like a bee stung her on the nose).

    BAG is looking good. Damn, that man is aging very nicely. He used to look like such a little boy but he’s all grown up now. Yowza!

  38. Ally says:

    I vote for – because she married BAG and now she’s no longer theoretically up for hot sex with randoms

    I imagine she’s not signing up for any more dumb Michael Bay type projects for reasons of mutual disinterest.

  39. Kim says:

    I would let Megan near my man because she is married and really seems to love Brian so I highly doubt she would cheat. She is smart staying out of limelight for a while and doing more movie roles. She wants the movies to speak for her not her looks which is the way to last in Hollywood.

  40. Kristin says:

    #19-Completely agree. Anytime I see “dong” “shank-slut” or “tragic or ___” I know it’s a Kaiser post

  41. Jo says:

    Smile, each to his/her own, right? I think BAG is hot on DH. Great career move, IMO.

  42. archiepelago says:

    She’s a really bad actress. I’m surprised anyone would hire her. She’s like Jessica Alba but without the bitch factor.

    I’m pretty sure most men on the planet would still bang her, Gigantor-headed Botox Monster or no.

  43. Mouse says:

    They both look very very baked. And I’m sorry, BAG is not attractive. He looks like a smug punk.

  44. viper says:

    @jayem

    You know she started the whole Name change thing yeah? For her she called herself MEGA FOX at one point.

    So really she played with her own name which actually WAS stupid and we’re just adding a BETTER and more truthful spin to it.

    Anyways she’s still a MEGA PAIN IN THE ARSE.

    • Jenene says:

      He is a smug douche bag. I dated him in my teens for a few weeks and he was such a conceited jerk off.. Bragging.. Name dropping and materialistic. I dumped him .. Never called him again after he insulted my shoes and car He has a type though. I was the “before the surgery” Meagan I honestly don’t know what she sees in him. I came across this post by accident and I couldn’t help but to respond.

  45. cici says:

    i liked BAG on Terminator. while he’s not GORGEOUS or anything, he DID turn out to be the hottest out of all the 90210 guys. Who knew?

  46. Hakura says:

    @Mouse (#42)- I don’t find BAG attractive at all, either. =\

    And I think Megan looks pretty baked too xD I don’t think she is, but they caught some pretty unattractive expressions.

  47. Aspie says:

    @nnn – Dang! So true, lol

  48. Caz says:

    Agree with all of you. We simply got tired of her stupid nonsense, the inflated ego, her movies bombed and we laughed when she got booted from Transformers. Actresses are a dime a dozen these days and people have short attention spans. Her career is finished. BAG is looking mighty fine!

  49. BabyCakes says:

    @ LN: Yes the general consensus is he’s hot. What effen planet are you living on?????????

  50. Stella9 says:

    All that boorish nonsense she kept sprouting like how “Angelina Jolie is old and irrelevant, I’m only 21” and “middle America should be wiped out” made her look like a nasty piece of work from day one. But people put up with it because she was “hot” and she was the chick from Transformers. After she went and froze her face with botox and went on the starvation diet and showed what a poor actress she was in Jennifer’s Body and Jonah Hex the public simply ran out of patience with her.

  51. henriette says:

    Meh. I think she’s actually taken a step back, realised (or, had her advisors force her to realise) that overexposure does nothing for her, and is enjoying married life with her husband. (Bythe way, never thought BAG was remotely attractive but a friend saw him in person and says he is The Bomb). I think it’s great that she’s flying more or less under the radar and letting other young women appear half-naked on magazine covers.

  52. fanny says:

    Did she freeze her face with botox? Somehow I find that hard to believe because she is still so young and beautiful. I like how she doesn’t play dress up at every moment. Any actress can down play their looks and look ordinary if they want less attention for a while. I think she just wants a break from the glitz. She’ll be looking like her more “exotic self” soon enough. I don’t think she is dumb either because she wouldn’t have gotten this far. But I agree with the “short attention span of the public” comment.

  53. xxxyyy says:

    no one cares for her anymore because she’s not on the cover of fhm,gq,maxim in a small bikini with open legs,she hasn’t a new movie out where she plays a hot chick with big boobs and she doesn’t go every day to events in a dress where her ass hanging out. Jessica Alba is maybe even a worser actress than Megan and she says dumb things either she’s married and has a daughter and no self-confidence,no charisma and a bitchface but because she plays her sexy kitten role and wear short skirts so men are thinking she’s sexy.

  54. LN says:

    @BabyCakes
    If for you Green is hot, then I should ask you what effen planet are you living on? Get some self esteem or put glasses on because he is one ugly dude,sorry. And I can assure you I’m not the only one who see that.

  55. Ruffian9 says:

    Because she’s irrelevant?

    Also, BAG? Don’t get the appeal. But he was with Vanessa Marcil, so I guess there’s something appealing there, even if I can’t see it.

  56. Butch says:

    @megan – she’s so f*#king high. I love a girl who loves her pot. I’d never leave the house high without sunglasses though. You brave girl

  57. becky says:

    Oh can i just say I really agree with the over-use of the dong word – i realized a few posters always tell kaiser how funny it is when she uses the word but i find it so off-putting…
    and ita on the cute or tragic that u r so funny but the first makes you less so, and the second is just not your thing

  58. lrm says:

    i think women actually make or break women’s careers in hollywood…as in, how many women see her n movies?
    i mean, tara reid did that guy flick american pie….but that type of film has a limited demographic for movie goers….and relies on someone’s fading looks.

    for female stars with longevity in hollywood, it’s either talent or screen presence or good PR [or a combo of all 3] that appeals to the female demographic of moviegoers….

    how many maxim covers someone has and how hot men find them, is kidn of irrelevant for movie careers. The covers may amp up paid appearances ad publicity, but they don’t increase film roles or salaries.

    These type sof actresses will be used alongside an action star or romantic male lead, for ‘fluff appeal’, but they won’t be taken seriously.

    Except for La Jolie. Regardless of her acting skills, she does action well and it’s rare for females to hold that type of lead….so….in addition to the fact that she has substance and her charity work, she’s the exception.

    All the other female A listers =kidman, berry, robertson, etc, etc are either in ensembles or doing dramatic work that is marketed to the middle aged woman or are marketed for their socio historical storylines…-

  59. JenJen says:

    famewhore with a has-been husband

  60. JenJen says:

    Her looks blah, blah, blah, she looks like any girl in the mall. Never saw what the big deal was about her and her nasty tats.

  61. JenJen says:

    Also, she looks like a dike in that pic.

  62. dahlia47 says:

    All are solid possibilities, but the number one I think is because of all the dumb stuff she says.

  63. observer says:

    She marketed herself on superficial selling points, and that sort of thing doesn’t keep you relevant for very long. Everyone tires of a pretty face that is just a pretty face. It also sort of limits the kind of roles she can play. Lead roles usually call for someone who is flawed in some way, and someone with perfect looks doesn’t usually come across as believable in those kind of roles.

  64. DrM says:

    I agree they both look incredibly stoned…or maybe she’s finally bored herself to death (to say nothing of the rest of us) with her vapidity…

  65. Hakura says:

    @JenJen (#58)- “Also, she looks like a dike in that pic.

    Nice. =/ Not that the use of that word doesn’t make you look ignorant enough, but unless you were referring to a ‘geological structure‘, or the ‘greek goddess of moral justice‘, you didn’t even spell the word right, dumbass.

    It’s just entirely unnecessary to use words like that.

  66. truthzbetta says:

    Around Yuletide it’s important to be thankful for the little things.

    Ahh, the sweet world it is with one less Ubiquitard. Thanks Baby Jesus.

  67. Mizz Tickles says:

    MF has got a nice set of legs and looks like BAG has a nice package.

  68. bill says:

    I’ve had that look on my face before. It was when I was stoned. So glad I don’t do that stuff anymore.

  69. MiSz NoNi says:

    @Crash2GO2

    Yeah she might not be like Lindsay Lohan because Lindsay is a very talented actress with alcohol and drug problems..
