Megan Fox

Megan Denise Fox born on May 16th 1986.  Megan is both an Actress and a model.  I hear a lot of Megan Fox mostly from men who go on and on about how hot she is.  Of course, who am I to disagree?
Megan began her acting career in 2001 in several television and films.  All minor roles until the blockbuster film Transformers which brought her directly into the spotlight.  She returned to act in the sequel Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen although I heard she had problems with the director and almost didn't take part in the second movie.  I believe the director Michael Bay wanted her to gain weight?
During an interview with The Times Megan stated on the topic of being a role model "It depends on what your idea of a role model is...  If your idea of a role model is somebody who's gonna preach to your kids that sex before marriage is wrong and cursing is wrong and women should be this and be that, then I'm not a role model.  But if you want your girls to feel strong and intelligent and be outspoken and fight for what they think is right, then I want to be that type of role model, yeah."
She also stated on the topic of being typecast "Getting typecast as what? Attractive?  How bad is that?"
Megan was born in Oak Ridge Tennessee.  Her parents Darlene and Franklin Fox divorced when she was young.  Her step fathers name is Tony Tonachio.  Megan was raised Roman Catholic and went to chatholic school for the long haul of 12 years. Living in a very strict home she and her sister was not allowed a boyfriend or to invite friends over.
Megan lived with her mother until she made enough money to support herself.  She began her training in drama and dance at the age of only five in Kingston, Tennessee.  She also attended dance class at the community center.  She was in chorus and swam with the Clippers swim team at Kingston elementary.
At the age of 10 Megan and her family moved  to St. Petersburg, Florida.  She won several awards modeling at the age of 13 at the 1999 American Modeling and Talent Convention in Hilton Head in South Carolina.  Megan tested out of school via correspondence in order to move to Los Angeles.
She has spoken extensively of her time in education.  She states that in middle school she was bullied and picked on to the point where she ate her lunch in the bathroom to avoid being "pelted with ketchup packets".
She says the problem was not her looks but rather that she had "always gotten along better with boys" and that "rubbed some people the wrong way".
Megan also said that in high school she was never popular and that "everyone hated me, and I was a total outcast, my friends were always guys, I have a very aggressive personality, and girls didn't like me for that.  I've had only one great girlfriend my whole life".  In the same interview she mentions that she hated school and has never been "a big believer in formal education" and "the education I was getting seemed irrelevant.  So, I was sort of checked out on that part of it".
Megan Fox thinks she is not at the same level of such actresses like Jennifer Aniston,Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan.
Here is Seth Rogan on The Jimmy Kimmel Show claiming he was rejected when he tries to give a kiss on Megan's cheek.  Hilarious!

I'm sure she didn't do it on purpose.  Or did she?

Who Is "THE GREEN HORNET?"






Yesterday I watched "The Green Hornet" because from the previews it looked pretty entertaining. I am not usually a fan of superhero movies, but something about the way it was advertised caught my attention. First of all, I don't even know the story of any superhero, let alone the Green Hornet. But his story is about a newspaper publisher named Britt Reid who turns into a crime fighting vigilante at night. Kato is his masked partner who is a karate master and gadget genius.
Like other superhero teams such as Batman & Robin, The Green Hornet and partner Kato do not really make a team. While watching Seth Rogan play the lead role of The Green Hornet, it felt he was there for only comic relief, which fell flat. I usually have a weird sense of humor, so I may laugh at things that aren't funny, but all the jokes Seth Rogan was trying to put into the movie was pretty bad. I don't know the reason why he would be put into that role, but Seth Rogan is the last person I would think who would be cast as a superhero. I thought the role of being a crime fighter with an altar ego such as The Green Hornet would make it seem like that character is the main one beating up the bad guys. But it was his partner Kato played by Jay Chou doing all the work. Kato doesn't even have a name he is known for other than The Green Hornet's sidekick. Kato was the one making all the gadgets and putting together their car called "The Black Beauty." He was the one fighting all the bad guys and helping The Green Hornet fight his guys too. So what exactly does The Green Hornet provide? He can't fight, he's not a technical genius, and in this case, he can't tell jokes.
Though this movie did have some action parts, the fighting sequences were all in slow motion, maybe for the purpose of seeing it in 3-D, I don't know. But I wish it wouldn't been more fluid in that part, so it would seem more believable. Also in the movie were Cameron Diaz, who played Britt Reid's secretary researching The Green Hornet, and James Franco who came out for a few minutes in the beginning of the movie. Two big stars with a useless role, but it was nice to see some eye candy with James Franco. Overall, this movie fell flat compared to the hype that was surrounding it. I would not suggest watching this movie, unless it was at a dollar theatre or something. Seth Rogan should stay in comedy and not try to combine different genres of movies together.
