Megan Fox is still fresh as a daisy!

Image via WikipediaMegan Fox is still fresh as a daisy. That's a hard trick to pull off in the dog eat dog work of Hollywood. Even more so when you've had the kind of dog days Meggers has had recently. She got booted off of the lucrative Transformers franchise after she allegedly pissed off Spielberg by comparing Michael Bay to Hitler. Spielberg is Jewish and won an Oscar for Schindler's List so Hitler is apparently some kind of a sore spot for him. According to Bay when Stevo heard the comments he went bat shit, called him up, and told him in no uncertain terms to "get rid of her". At least Megan didn't complicate matters by going on to call Spielberg Hitler, or even Idi Amin. So give her some credit for knowing when to stop and reign her mouth in.
That lead to some rough days for her. She quickly did some quick about turns in the way of damage control attempts. Whenever she appeared at awards shows, following the Hitler crack, she made sure that everyone knew how grateful and appreciative she was to have been cast in a film franchise she had previously derided as no great shakes - you know because cars got more lines than she did. Considering the trouble that mouth of hers got her into she should've been content to let the cars do the talking.
She also had a few hi profile bombs like Jennifer's Body and Jonah Hex. Jennifer's Body was the flick about the high school cheerleader who gets possessed by a demon because she wasn't a virgin. I can't imagine that was the sort of pro abstinence message that film maker Diablo Cody wanted to send out. Still it might have done Bristol Palin some good to have seen it before she and Levi Johnson got acquainted over wine coolers.
The thing is that Cody is a respected writer and director. So she wasn't going to get blamed any more than Clint Eastwood was gonna get blamed for the Changeling's lackluster box office performance. Angelina Jolie had to hold the shit bag for that. especially after Angelina's next outings, like Salt and even worse, The Tourist, crashed and burned. Salt did decent at the BO, but the Tourist was a career ender. Jolie got got nominated for best actress in a comedy at the SAGs for her Tourist work, which wasn't a comedy. So it was Hollywood's way of giving her a backhanded slap right across those big lips of hers. The fact that her co star was Johnny Depp made her failure stink even worse. Johnny was on a role after Pirates of the Caribbean - now set for more lucrative sequels than Rocky! - so he wasn't to blame. Since Jolie was the common denominator she got the Box Office Poison label, and had to go off and make more tabloid headlines with the help of Brad Pitt & Jennifer Aniston (Pitt & Aniston really can sell anything!). fox was touted as the next Jolie and so paralleled the failure pattern with Jonah Hex - one of the few comic based flicks to bomb (Even Ghost Rider was a hit!). So she started getting a Poison rep by way of being a common denominator.
So that had people saying that Meggers was washed up. That is when they were talking about her. A lot of the time they weren't. That was odd since between Transformers 1 and Transformers 2 she was the most talked about woman on the planet. She had a media pull like Oprah, Hillary Clinton, and Princess Diana combined. Only Paris Hilton on a tear could stand up to her! Even then Paris would probably have to get arrested or something to edge Meggers off of the tabloid front pages.
The Fox Effect got so bad that if some nerd hiding out in their parents' garage did a photo shop of Megan as Wonder Woman, and posted it accompanied by a rumour that Fox would being playing the Amazon in an upcoming movie, the hoax got enough momentum, to overload the Internet. Incidentally Meggers had to officially deny that rumour by calling Wonder Woman a lame character she would've touch with a 10 foot Lasso of Truth. People - mostly fanboys - got offended by a starlet who's movie work consisted mostly of dialogue with magical cars calling the Invisible Jet lame. Meanwhile even the Internee was rebelling against the Fox Effect and some kind of Boycott movement was organized, which of course didn't work.
After her dual bombs when people did actually talk about Fox it was along "whatever happened to her?" lines. Also there were the rumours. News out of the Thirty Mile Zone had Fox and her significant other Brian Austin Green - currently Mr Fox - running around dirty and disheveled, like Joaquin Phoenix off his medications. People were saying that they smelled bad and fought worse. The fighting was so bad the the cops were called in by neighbors several time to split the couple up.
When those kind of rumours start circulating then the usual conclusion is drug use. Some were even saying that's why Meggers got canned off of the Transformers gravy train. The whole drug angle seemed supported by Meggers deteriorating appearance. Photos at the time had her looking rough - like Lindsay Lohan coming off of a ten day bender. Since Fox had been the hottest young actress in Hollywood only months previously that had alert observers asking "WTF happened to her?" Plastic surgery was the general opinion. She was starting to look artificial by way off larger than usual lips, even less expressive eyes, and facial muscles so slack that Megan's face was looking like it had been shot full of Novocaine fresh from a trip to the dentist.
That presented a problem for Fair Megan. Since her face is her fortune - even more than her talent & personality! - she could afford to have her prime asset devalued by a lot of loose public talk. If people started saying that her looks weren't real then who knows what they might say next! They might even question whether she's really a woman - well the might if Megan herself hadn't already declared she was a tranny. Since she then went on to say that she was also Alan Alda people dismissed the statement as an attempt at making some kind of point. Probably the "Don't hate cause I'm beautiful" thing that makes life so awkward for the outrageously gorgeous.
If Meggers is seen as some kind of jacked up tranny on sex hormones sold to the American movie going public as a false bill of goods, her career could be in even more trouble than if she got photographed in the company of Mel Gibson & throwing darts at a picture Spielberg! So naturally she had to nip that kind of libelous talk right in the bud. This she did and only recently by talking to - you guessed it - Facebook, and posting some nifty pix of herself. Those pix got posted over @ Social Lite, right along with their ARod cheatin' on Cameron Diaz story (What did Cammy expect from some one jacked up on sex hormones?). Since the SL link has been posted, and I really don't care who I rip off, here are those nifty pix posted for your convience and view pleasure. Knock yourself out fanboys, just don't kock too hard!
Those were posted under the title "Things You Can't Do If You've had Botox". To give Fox credit that's more expression than Angelina Jolie has shown in her past 3 films, Nicole Kidoman his shown since the 1990's, or Scarlet Johansson has shown ever in her career! She's also showing that natural like beauty that one American men aged 18 to 49 over en masse! So Meggers has once again disproved the doubters by putting her best face forward. Now she only has to address those persistent tranny rumours - look out for the sex tape comin' soon!
