I didn't even know who Megan Fox was until recently - and this was after I'd seen TRANSFORMERS. Mostly I'd heard her name knocked around as the "ultimate" male fantasy (or some such). Usually I'm up on who the latest starlets are, so every time someone would reference Megan Fox, I'd be like, "Who?" And then a few months ago I saw something which referred to her as "TRANSFORMERS' hottie" (or some such) and went,

"Oh... her? Really? She's the knew 'it' thing?"

But then I read this article in the latest issue of EW. (I know what you're thinking: blueberries and Entertainment Weekly - can the girl blog about anything else? It's temporary, I promise.) Anyway, I love her brash brand of honesty, highlighted with a slim streak of bitchiness. And, barring her over-use of the word "uber," she comes across as pretty smart in this piece. So, yeah. She can be all hot and stuff, but how many pieces of Hollywood eye candy actually admit that's what they're getting paid for? Or that their tentpole summer movie isn't meant to be anything more than a "popcorn flick"?

[On a slightly unrelated note, even though I'd been picturing a younger Maggie Gyllenhaal as Marissa in TRUE CONFESSIONS OF A HOLLYWOOD STARLET, after reading this piece on Megan Fox, I think she might be more the Marissa I'd envisioned.]
