It never fails to crack me up whenever Megan Fox begins to talk about her “acting” or how she got to a specific “performance”. She’s funny because she’s smart enough to know she’s no Cate Blanchett, and yet she’s not smart enough to be able to say stuff like “I worked hard on this part… I did research…. These are the things I did to get into character…” Instead, Megan, talking about her performance, comes out with gems like, “I wasn’t really sure what I was doing.” Of course, she could be talking about the general weirdness of playing a demonic, boy-murdering cheerleader in Jennifer’s Body. How could you do research on that? I bet Natalie Portman would have figured out a way.
Megan was at Comic-Con to promote the film, and she was interviewed extensively. Megan teased the fanboys something fierce. My favorite quote from Megan is: “There are no robots to distract you from whatever performance I do give. So if it’s terrible, you’re going to know that it’s terrible.” My least favorite quote is “I’m just a little girl… Look at me: I’m so sweet!” Barf.
Megan Fox is hot in new horror flick Jennifer’s Body. Just ask her.
“I think I’m pretty sexy in it,” the actress, 23, said at the Comic-Con press conference for the movie (out Sept. 18). “The movie is SO sexy! You better put on your sexy shoes for this movie!”
In the film, in which Fox eats people, “there’s sort of a hint of, a little bit of a lesbian relationship that happens. There’s a girl-on-girl kiss.
“And beyond that, before every kill there is a seduction that occurs,” Fox continues. “The boys have to be seduced to get in close enough to the dead girl in order for her to devour them.”
Fox says she loved starring in the flick because “it’s so unapologetic and completely inappropriate at all times.” But it was harder to film than Transformers, which she slammed as “not about acting” — just special effects.
“There are no robots to distract you from whatever performance I do give. So if it’s terrible, you’re going to know that it’s terrible!” Fox says. “That of course is intimidating, but I think the character was so much fun for me. And I wasn’t really sure what I was doing. I was just trying to have fun with it.”
“I sort of felt like I was being able to make fun of my own image, sort of, as to how some people might perceive Megan Fox to be,” she continues. “I was just sort of flying freely and I hope some of it worked.”
Usually, Fox is “not a fan” or horror movies.
“I actually have a very intense fear of the dark,” she admits. “The last horror movie I saw — I think it was called The Tooth Fairy — was in 2005, and I was 15 years old. After I saw it, I slept with my mother for two weeks afterwards!”
But she pounced on the opportunity to overcome her fear. “I think for me, to be able to play something that I would normally be frightened by is really intriguing and interesting,” she says.
Watching a scream scene in the movie still horrified her. “It frightened me, and it shook me up for like five minutes,” she admits.
She doesn’t mind freaking out an audience. “It’s cool to see myself being able to scare people, because I’m just a little girl,” she says. “Look at me: I’m so sweet!”

I don’t like horror films either, but Jennifer’s Body doesn’t look terrible, I have to say. Amanda Seyfried looks cute in it, in any case. To give the film some half-hearted credit, it’s nice to see a movie about a psycho female killer taking down men. Usually, it’s the other way around. Not really burning a bra or anything, but a minor feminist victory, I suppose.
Unfortunately, Megan Fox might not be around to give us these gems for very much longer. The Twihards are going to swarm her and take her down pretty soon, because while at Comic-Con, Megan made a rookie mistake. When an E! reporter asked Megan which guy she’d like to “devour” like she does in Jennifer’s Body, Megan replied, “I would eat Rob Pattinson so that I could steal some of that pretty… I just wanna be pretty like he’s pretty. I want that James Dean, that sexy-ass hair.” Oh, God. The Twihards will be feasting on Megan within the next week. But Megan is right about one thing – Pattz is way prettier than her.

The more she talks, the more my crush on her depletes.
Someone needs to tell this sweet little girl that, no matter how much she wants to be, she isn’t Angelina Jolie. She’s Denise Richards.
I give a lot of allowance to young women in Hollywood, living in the spotlight. This one tho… Fail. Epic style.
“the actress, 23”
“2005, and I was 15 years old”
2009-2005=4
23-4=19
Maffs is hard.
While I don’t get the RPatt hype in his looks department, I am loving the fact that those little Twilighters are going to have a field day with her. I hope they start dating each other.
So, according to her she was 15 in 2005 (the last time she watched a scary movie)? It’s 2009 now…by what math could she be 23? For a minute I was thinking, well, she’s only 19 so I need to cut her a little slack for being so dim. Then I re-checked the quoted article and it says she’s 23. Oh well, guess I shouldn’t expect it to make any sense.
Oh, didn’t refresh to see your post Meimei – glad to know someone else thinks it doesn’t make sense either : )
She’s just gross.
icky-icky poo….she just grosses me out and I wish she’d stop with the tongue thing. Totally trailer trash.
LOL meimei! I love that “maff is hard.”
Does she have a stylist? If she does she needs to fire them, if she doesn’t she needs to get one. I think her and that Rachel Zoa chick would get along well.
she trys way to hard.
SHe is ALWAYS doing that pose with her tongue out and up like that. WEIRD.
WAAAAAAy too much make up. Like maybe 4 layers of cover up, lipstick and eyebrow liner.
the math thing is just terribe.
LOL but you guys have got to see the clip of a guy at comic con asking a question of whether or not she’d be willing to star in a sex tape with him. IT WAS PRICELESS!
Considerably less annoying than anything she’s said so far this summer. I can tell that she is scared and her insecurities are peeking through, so meh. But that “suit” thing she is wearing is muy terrible. Muy, muy terrible.
Your face shouldn’t be a completely different shade of color than the rest of you, should it…?
Uggh Megan Farx ..go away with your gross facial expressions already!
My boyfriend says she looks like a brocolli farter! lol!! and I have to admit he’s right, she does look like she’s always farting, must be those weird facial expressions..gawd she is so stupid looking
Ok, please, enough with the tongue. It looked hot in that first photoshoot where she did it but it’s been done dead now. It’s like she has permanent spinach on her front teeth.
Toe thumbs.
My sentiments exactly Meimei. 🙂
I vacillate between finding Megan amusing and annoying. And she’s another example of a very pretty girl who wears waayyy too much make-up (I’m looking at you Miss Aguilera).
She reminds me a lot of Jessica Simpson…
Eye candy, but overly made up and clueless..
LOL maffs is hard, love it!
She is the biggest try-hard on earth. Does she really think that tongue thing is sexy? Cos to me it just looks TRY-HARDY. & Who calls themselves “a little girl”??
Thanks meimei! I thought for a second i was gonna be the only one who notice that! What’s up with those hollywood girls anyway? Can’t they just stick to filming a danm movie and shut their mouth! If you’re gonna talk about age know your math please! Otherwise you will defenitely sound and look like an idiot! Which probably might be the thruth! But hell, have some sense, hire somebody to do the math for you or shut up stand still and look pretty!
LOL @ KateNonymo. However, I liken her moreso to Rose McGowen.
Either way she is annoying as HELL!
15 years old in 2005? She’s my age… and I was turning 19 in 2005. Unless she was born in 1990, her math is WAY off.
I know, cutie, knowing your age is difficult. Just keep being sexy – it’s the only thing you are good at.
She could be 19 years old and if so was way young when started to date Green. She is young and refreshing and even if some find her imature, so be it. Who was mature at her age? And why compare her to Jolie who is over 10 years older than she is. I remember Jolie as being way crazier, plus hollywood needs something new and refreshing other than the same old boring crap, that no longer interest most people. Fox is gorgeous and anyone who thinks otherwise is blind or just plain jeoulous. Let her be a young woman and let her make her mistakes. Just leave her alone if you don’t agree. Anyway, she won’t cry, I’m sure, because she has made more money than most of us will in a life time. Go girl
She could have been so traumatized by the flick and reason for not wanting to remember the exact year. Who hasn’t made mistakes. People here are weirder than she could ever be. She speaks very clear and isn’t getting drunk every night like many other so called actors are. She’ll be just fine and has plenty of fans. Enough to let her bank account grow. Now, be jeoulous of that.
The girl has really bad acne (I mean really really bad) that’s why she wears so much makeup.
I really wonder why everyone that posts these comments are bored enough to sit around and bash people they don’t even know. All we know is what reporters say about her, and half the time it isn’t true! What it boils down to is bitter people looking for someone to hate. Everyone’s got their own flaws, even celebrities, but for some reason we like to pick them apart flaw by flaw. Come on people get a life and stop being contemptuous for once. If you hate her so much why are you reading articles about her in the first place? It really ticks me off that people can say things so harsh about someone they only know from a picture.
