I don't think I have ever read something which makes someone so unsympathetic as the new issue of
Esquire featuring Megan Fox does. In it she says she is bullied and that yes, she is rich and has a big house and nice cars but it is tough because she is being bullied by millions of people all over the world because she is famous. Umm, well how about this for a trade. You give all your s**t back and move into a one bedroom apartment and take the bus and people will stop bullying you. Fair trade? Yeah, didn't think you want to give it up and if you would not make stupid statements like that you are bullied then people would not actually say bad things about you which is not bullying. So, STFU. The article then basically continues for a page of two of drooling over Megan Fox in the hopes that perhaps the writer will be rewarded with some type of sexual gratification or friendship should Megan ever leave BAG. Megan then starts talking about Revelations and if you think an actor talking politics is bad, think about Megan Fox trying to talk about the Antichrist, the Bible and Middle East politics. She then talks nonsense about Marilyn Monroe and segues into the fact that she has been speaking in tongues since she was 8. So, Sunday night services were big in the Fox household? She says that she still wants to speak in tongues at church but shuts it off because she does not want people to think she is crazy. So, go to a church that has people speaking in tongues. Problem solved. I'm surprised you could not come up with that on your own. She also says that she hates being treated like a sex symbol and then posed for the photo above.
I cannot wait to read this! My Esquire is late this month. :/
ReplyDeleteI want to like her, I really do, but she makes it so damn hard. As much of a douche as he is, at least I can remember David Silver from 90210.
ReplyDeleteJeez, Enty - tell us how you really feel :-p. I love it - snark-a-rama is what keeps me comin' back.
ReplyDeleteWow Entys, you must really have it out for her. That's not how the article came across to me. Don't fear the thumb!
ReplyDelete@greenmountain, that was exactly what I came here to say!
ReplyDeleteShe said being famous is LIKE being bullied by millions of strangers.
ReplyDeleteSheesh. I knew what she meant. Some people don't understand what they're getting into, when they become famous. They think it's all doormen & kowtowing.
If I had become famous at her age, and were living with a CRITICAL, ABUSIVE BF, I might be timid & stressed by attention too.
Agreed. I already know I can't handle the scrutiny of a spotlight, so I avoid it.
DeleteI wasn't born with her face and body though.
Although at this point, neither was she.
I'm so over The Fox. She talks about leaving Hollywood but we all know the real reason she would leave is because many industry people don't look at her as a serious actress and she can only get the roles that talented actresses would not take on. Also she said she would no longer dress like a sex symbol now that she's a mom; well Megan what do you call your Esquire photoshoot; your Church gear.
ReplyDeleteI like dark haired girls with tattoos but Megan Fox has never done anything for me.
ReplyDeleteEven just seeing her years ago in like Transformers 1, I was couldn't find her attractive becuase she seemed like such a bitch.
Everytime I see her talk it just makes her so much more loathsome.
That's okay- I get the feeling ENTY doesn't like her very much, either!!!
DeleteWell not everyone can have beauty and brains. Sorry girl, you are no Natalie Portman.
ReplyDeleteSooo does she have a demon inside her? Was Jennifers Body a documentary? Is she sure she isn't just drunkenly rambling and slurring all of her words together? I mean shit, I guess I can speak in tongues too!
And she will always show herself as a sex symbol. That's all she has got and BAG is going to milk it (hehe no pun intended) for all it's worth.
January 16, 2013 is a day I will always remember as the day my crush on Megan Fox died an unnatural death.
ReplyDeleteAfter all the verbal diarrhea to date, the numerous surgeries, and lack of roles, what is it specifically that killed it now?
DeleteMy mother grew up in a church where they spoke in tongues (it is supposedly the language of the Holy Spirit). If Megan actually attended and followed the teachings of a church where they do this (glossolalia I think it's called), she wouldn't be doing magazine covers with her tatas and other things hanging out, and she wouldn't have had horizontal flirtations with Shia leBeefcakes. It just doesn't add up for me.
ReplyDeleteI also don't get why she thinks people don't like her. I find her frustrating bc she lives with a controlling man and doesn't do anything about it, and she comes across as being whiny, but people hate her? I'm sure she thinks women are jealous of her cheek implants.
Love you Enty for this! Thank you for calling this thang out. As someone who wqs bullied in school bcoz of a speech problem and my ethnicity I was extremely offended by her comparison of fame to bullying. I just saw the interview of her ash on another gossip blog and felt the writer an othr readers were kissing her behind. As for her crap about Marilyn Monroe...you try growing up in foster homes being molested and abused while your mom is in a mental institution and see how reliable and stable you are in your adulthood. Cant stand you Megan and you deserve Brian Austin Green.
ReplyDeleteShe tries so hard to be interesting. Why doesn't she go to school?
ReplyDeleteCould it be she's saying all this crazy shit because of BAG? Since he's so controlling? I can't wait til she leaves him.
ReplyDeleteI have a theory she's serious about her religion, but controlling BAG wants her to be the sex kitten icon. She says she's retiring her sexual image after the birth of her son in public, hoping then it'll have to stick, but BAG says no way. Cut to stripping off for Esquire and not looking particularly happy about it.
ReplyDeleteI also think when she says these things they end up in a different place then she meant. Being famous is like being bullied? Yeah, if you're aware of how little the world things of you, as a body and not a person, I'd feel like shit too. Even with HER body. Add to that most think she's dumb, if not downright stupid - all because she can't express herself very well. I can see the glimmers of what she's trying to say in those comments - feeling uplifted to the point of euphoria in church, realising that Marilyn was a pretty sad woman with a tragic life, and recognising the same can be said for LiLo.
I've always thought there was more to her than meets the eye... But hers is a tragic life too, it seems. Maybe she was trying to change that by scrubbing Marilyn off her body, sort of removing the curse.
Or maybe I'm being too nice about someone I don't know and can only guess about. Either or.
I remember she was poised to become an 'it' girl after the first Transformers.
ReplyDeleteThen she opened her mouth. Downhill ever since. I don't think I've seen one interview with her that she didn't make a fool of herself. Or pose half naked.
I will say this. I was Pentecostal growing up and it takes hits for her to publicly claim it, even though she claims leprechauns, fairies, and the Easter bunny in the same breath.
ReplyDeleteI took more shit over growing up in a religion people don't understand than I ever got for anything in my life.
I was picked on mercilessly at school, accused of being in a cult and playing with snakes.
There were many instances where teachers punished me unfairly for things such as not knowing unprovided song lyrics to songs from the radio, which I wasn't allowed to listen to at home.
I know Megan says a lot of dumb shit, but I don't want to see her get shredded for this, it's gutsier than you think.
I will also say that as a person who left the same religion early due to the abuse I took over it, most girls that leave the church go crazy with the sexual image.
ReplyDeletePreacher's kids are usually the worst, my former friend grew up to be a stripper and Hooters girl.
You grow up with skirts to your ankles and no makeup, then you go nuts trying on new personas.
Megan is a pretty girl in California, of course she'd go there.
The thing I've always thought about Megan fox is, its not her fault she's an asshole. no one has ever told her she is. her whole life she would have had men tell her how witty and insightful she is (to get in her pants), and she probably believes it. society created this monster
ReplyDeleteSorry for the excessive posts, it hit close to home. I had a strange childhood and this was a big part of it, but not because the religion was so different but how I was treated due to public perception.
ReplyDeleteI find those girls who are sex symbols bitching and moaning about their sex symbol status (in reality, their hotness), to be among the most nauseating form of the human species.
ReplyDeleteIf you can't conduct an interview without showing an iota of grace and thankfulness for all of the gifts you have, I have no time for you. Because let's be real, you make millions of dollars for a frivolous line of work when so many men and women who put their lives on the line in this world are barely getting by. So Megan Fox, please accept my giant EFF OFF.
My jaw was hanging open when I read this crazy shit on Dlisted last night. And her Facebook post clarifying the Lilo comments was obvs not written by her.
ReplyDeleteLol@ JSierra
Sarah---I am so sorry you were treated that way. I knew a few Pentecostal girls in middle school, they were the kindest, most non-judgmental kids ever! I was a weirdo, and a loner, and they never blinked about being seen with me (I was woefully unpopular).
ReplyDeleteThe unfortunate thing is that I couldn't be better friends with them, because we couldn't talk on the phone or hang out outside school. I am agnostic, and would have looked like a very bad influence on those girls, to their parents.
They didn't talk about their religion or bemoan their clothes out loud to me, but there was a lot of subtle budding rebellion in them, I could tell!
Thanks, I had some really cool "uncool" friends during those years. The kids who were unpopular during middle school actually had infinitely higher social standing than I did and welcomed me.
DeleteWe never talked about religion either, we talked about boys and bad teachers like everyone else!
did anyone see her on the red carpet where one of the entertainment shows asked her about how it is being a Mom and she said it was the best thing ever but BRIAN WAS JEALOUS OF THE BABY?????? That pinged my radar in soo many ways
ReplyDeleteI read some of her quotes on DListed last night and I'm sorry, there is no way around it. She is an idiot.
ReplyDeleteAll I could think is that she must Google herself a lot. It's hard to believe people IRL are doing anything less than fawning over her.
ReplyDeletePeople like Fox and Kstew think they're being so edgy in their interviews, but if I were their publicist, I'd seriously limit them from speaking. They come across as utterly self-involved twats on paper.
ReplyDeleteLove enty for say STFU! Dude, she really is such a douche. People remember, just cause u have money youre not special. Just rivh. No one becomes a snowflake because of fame or money.
ReplyDeleteSarah, your comments were really interesting. Michael K at Dlisted had a field day with this.
ReplyDeleteMegan Fox is a vapid twat. Pardon my language.
ReplyDeleteMegan Fox is perfect for magazines because her personality is as interesting as paper.
ReplyDeleteHer thumbs freak me out but she doesn't bug me too much. She's not too bright and has a hard time expressing herself and sometimes doesn't know when to shut up (i.e. Michael Bay). If she wants to stay in the biz she needs to take some acting classes and work on (what does AnnE Hathaway call it? Oh yes) her craft. Most of all, she needs to STOP JACKING UP HER FACE.
ReplyDeleteIf she can do that and give BAG the slip, she might have a credible career in 5-10 years.
She's spewing nonsense if what enty wrote is accurate. I dont even know why shes famous! Andcplease ladies, im sick of your boobs hanging out of everything!! Andcif her husband IS jealous if baby, he's really an asshole. Its a baby moron, not a second husband!!
ReplyDelete"All that remains of Marilyn is a few drops of black against skin that is the color the moon possesses in the thin air of northern winters."
ReplyDelete:eyeroll: I'll never know what comes after that. I was laughing too hard to continue.
Dear enty,
ReplyDeleteAll women are effin crazy. I still heart megan fox even if she is now a MILF.
Same crap. Someone drawing so much attention to themselves but when they don't like it, they are being "bullied".
ReplyDeleteSarah, i echo Libby's experience as well...i had pentecostal friends growing up and they were some of the kindest people ever. i do remember they got such a bad rap for just about anything. i could never understand why their religion was so hardcore conservative like that...i was (am) from a mainstream protestant background and i remember inviting her to church camp one year and her having a heart attack bc we wore bikinis and the girls and the boys shared the same pool time. i know she had it really hard and struggled w/ a lot of it. to this day i give her major props for handling it w/ so much grace. i don't think i could have done the same had i been in her shoes. as for megan, i do feel a little sorry for her bc that article (or at least the parts released) make her seem like she's all over the place and that's just wrong. it's all done to sell issues and she's just the sacrificial lamb of the month. it doesn't sound like she had a pr person their to guide and instruct her along, and let's face it, a lot of actors and musicians simply shouldn't be left to their own devices w/ the press.
ReplyDeleteI have to admit I agree with her opinion on Marilyn Monroe; she is not a great rolemodel because her life was crap and she died very unhappy. Also, no one took her seriously and she was terribly used and abused. She died alone, looking for love in all the wrong places.
ReplyDeleteDuring this time she would be Rihanna or Blohan; not something to look up to.
I seriously don't understand everyone's obsession with Monroe, as in the sexsymbol of the 50's/60's, since she is not someone who was happy and comfortable in her own skin. I wouldn't tattoo her face on my body either -.-
Very true! I agree with you but i think the dichotomy of her image is part of the appeal. People love this type of character. Twenty years from now i promise there will be folks saying what a misunderstood and beautiful soul lilo or rihanna were. Its just the people that see the trainwreck in progress know it is not glamorous.
ReplyDeleteAs a kid the worst part is that when I was really young my mom didn't make us observe the dress code until third grade or so, then I went from normal to weirdo in my peers eyes overnight.
ReplyDeleteI went from popular to outcast in the blink of an eye. My mom was inconsistent and in and out of church. We would leave and she would cut our hair short, then we would go back and be outcasts at church for not being enough of a saint and be outcasts at school for not being like everyone else.
I'd say it was character building but honestly, it caused me a lot of very long term problems.
Don't worry, I'm fairly sane. Haha.
I will say that people are afraid of or put off by anything they don't understand. Most kids that judged me thought I was judging them.
I thought that I literally just read that she said she wouldn't be posing naked/in her underwear anymore? Ugh this girl, I stg.
ReplyDelete@sarah thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteive always liked megan *shrugs* she seems sweet and cmon has no one else ever said anything silly? at least what we say isnt in print and scrutinized
someone above mentioned that perhaps its BAG that wants to keep her sexy - never saw it like that before but can totally see it now
and thinking back to what she said to ryan about BAG picking out her dress she just said 'its tight and its lacy, thats all there is to it" methinks she hated that BAG made her wear it
sorry for long post!
What shocked me about the interview was how uneducated Fox was! Pick up a book woman! I don't expect a genius, but when she was discussing the Book of Revelations, she came off as a complete moron. She could at least google this stuff.
ReplyDeleteI lose IQ points when I read her interviews.
Goodness. I saw her on some talk show the other night and found her to be sweet and funny. I don't think I've ever seen her onscreen, maybe that would change my mind. But for now, I think I'll just cut her some slack.
ReplyDeleteEvery time I see a picture of Megan Fox lately, she looks as if she's just smoked a big cannon, and every time she opens her mouth it's the same thing. With some people you can't really tell, but she's not one of them. She seems to be on the same dimension as Charlie Sheen with the free-association, beat poem talk.
ReplyDeleteIt was kind of goofy of her to get a tattoo of Marilyn Monroe without knowing about Monroe's life. A tattoo is a commitment.
ReplyDeleteI just don't like her. I've tried, and tried, but I just don't. Her face is way too plastic and it seems like she takes herself way too seriously. As in we give a shit what she says, just because she's famous. I would bet you, 10 to 1 that if she were grocery shopping at Kroger I wouldn't recognize her. Nor would I give a shit.
