SHE HAS A POINT…
I had made this point earlier, following the bombing of that terrible movie “Jennifer’s Body” which I went to see on opening weekend with a bunch of male friends. Some of you said I was out of my mind, that ‘Jennifer’s Body’ bombed on its own merits. But I said, jealousy over Megan Fox contributed to her box office disaster. Women are terrible to Megan Fox because women can be very jealous sometimes! Am I wrong?
Despite, the fact that Jennifer’s Body bombed at the box office, Megan Fox will be getting several more chances to prove her box office draw in a few more More Skimpily Clad Megan Fox upcoming films:
The Crossing – Megan Fox stars as part of a young couple caught up in a drug trafficking scheme during a vacation that goes wrong in Mexico…
Passion Play – Megan Fox and Mickey Rourke star in this drama about an angel under the thumb of a ruthless gangster.
Jonah Hex – the comic book caper, co starring Mickey Rourke.
Transformers 3 – Coming Soon…
Huffington Post - Women brand her as a whore because she is too pretty and smart to be anything but, Megan says, and the measured sexual shockers she unleashes in interviews have little to do with her actual love life with longtime off-and-on boyfriend Brian Austin Green.
She’s tired of playing that archetype but proud of her media-manipulation skills. Her handlers want to makeover her slut image but she doesn’t want to do “safe” romantic comedies and she just signed on for a big paycheck from Armani underwear. What to do?
Here are some choice quotes from the NYT Magazine piece. You can read the whole thing here.
On being too pretty to be liked by women:
“Women tear each other apart,” she told me now. “Girls think I’m a slut, and I’ve been in the same relationship since I was 18. The problem is, if they think you’re attractive, you’re either stupid or a whore or a dumb whore. The instinct among girls is to attack the jugular.”
On her alter-ego who gives outrageous interviews:
“When I sit down to talk to men’s magazines, there’s a certain character that I play,” she explained. “She’s not fully fleshed out — she doesn’t have her own name — but she shows up to do men’s-magazine interviews. There’s something so ridiculous about always being in your underwear in those magazines, and you know the interview is going to run opposite those pictures. So, there’s a character that talks to all of them.”
On getting paid to be ogled by men:
“I do live in a glass box. And I am on display for men to pay to look at me. And that bothers me. I don’t want to live that character.”
