• Megan on SNL

  Now Saturday Night Live wants to do a skit about the Viacom Golden Boy Bay and the Foxy Fox. NOTE to AGENCY’s time to strike is now… she needs new Reps in her life. Like the blind leading the blind on that camp. What are they out to prove…. that she really is intelligent and charming?

• Wow, same old same old. Bitter men hating a pretty woman because she won’t give them the time of day. Bitter women hating her because .. well, that’s pretty obvious. The two combine to start a bunch of heinous rumors so the pretty woman’s life can be as miserable as theirs.

• He should consider replacing Megan Fox with Sasha Grey. Then the guys still get their porn star to look at and the level of acting quality stays the same.

  Or find the next young starlet and we can all move on.

• I just love all the jealous losers who keep on trashing Michael Bay for making films someone wants to see. They may be popcorn flicks but at least they are not the largely pretentious crap that the Oscars go for in the last couple years. If it were not for Bay and others who bring in the big money then you guys would not be able to put out any of your stuff except at film festivals or in your own living rooms.

• Somewhere, the shade of Samuel Goldwyn has a huge smile on its face. That’s one of the better carrot and stick handlings of a star I’ve seen in years. No one is fooled –no one is meant to be fooled; but both ends of the message were surely received.

• I got a call back on a Michael Bay directed movie. It was three lines and I was ecstatic to meet with him and be considered for the role He was very down to earth and gracious. I didn’t get the role and of course was disappointed. But that’s how the cookie crumbles.

  Miss Fox has no idea how lucky she is to have been discovered by him and then to have him take the high road when she made those stupid comments. What the heck is the matter with pretty people? That letter you guys wrote was awesome and she is more LUCKY to have the warning. Trouble is –I don’t think she’ll get it. Humility is something that is learned and so is narcissism.

• You’d think someone with thumbs that look like some fat homeless guys big toe would be a more gracious human being. MF is OVER-RATED! Go to your local mall. You’ll see five or six Megan Fox’s before you leave.

• Typical.
  The PoA du jour says something catty and is forgiven, probably because of her looks.
  Can’t be because of any on-screen “talent.”
  MB, are you tapping that?

• Note to Carol: Once upon a time, there was a little thing called the First Amendment and people being able to speak their mind. I find Meghan’s honesty, whether it’s shallow and short-sighted or not, refreshing! How nice to hear someone speak their mind rather than spit out what a PR person tells them to say… ugh. I love people that aren’t afraid of being who they are and saying it out loud.

• Megan was suppose to be professional she should act like one. In that industry directors makes the actress, to some extended the people do as well. But with out director there would be no films nor plays with no films nor plays there would be no actresses. you don’t bash the the person who makes the film come alive. Especially if that film makes enough money to pay that actress. she should be grateful she evens has a job in a very popular movie.

• The simple thing is that she obviously has no “Couch Skills.” (No pun intended for you pervs.)

  The girl became a major screen presence over-night and doesn’t have the good sense to self-edit.

  In regard to the “Hitler” comment, that appears to just have been an ill chosen word spoken publicly. We’ve all said stupid things like that 100 times but not in an interview.

  I’m not defending her, not at all. But call it what it is, A Giant Lack of Common Sense.

  When LeBeouf was working the couches he told similar stories (in a funny, charming way) of Bay’s hard work ethic on set. But having a lot more experience and a great humor about him, they came out with HIM as the butt of the joke, not Bay.

  Her appearance with Harry Smith on The CBS Early Show (to promote T2) was like watching a train wreck. Actually saying she had no idea what the movie was about and you had to be a rocket scientist to understand it? I’m sure there were SEVERAL PR hacks cringing as she spoke.

  They just need to get her some serious training with someone who can teach her about “The Sell.”

  (IF, that is, she’s willing to actually learn it.)

  Going from 0 to 100 over-night without working for it can mess you up if you don’t have a good base behind you.
