Megan Fox is on the cover of this week's Entertainment Weekly to chat about her upcoming film Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. Her costar Shia LaBeouf has earned himself the reputation of an open book because of his tendency to overshare in interviews, but Megan is right up there with him. She sat down with the magazine to chat all about her career, Angelina Jolie, and her are-they-or-aren't-they relationship with Brian Austin Green. Here's more:
- On saying she's afraid of Angelina: "I was joking! She always seems otherworldly in her power and her confidence. I'm sure she has no idea who I am. But if I were her, I'd be like, 'Who the f-ck is this little bulls-it brat who was in Transformers that's going to be the next me?' I don't want to meet her; I'd be embarrassed."
- On growing up wanting to be famous: "Well, yeah, because that's how you measure success in Hollywood, really. But you have no idea what this life is like until you are living it. I used to sit back and think, ''Please, Britney Spears has the best life ever — she has everything she could ever want!' But she has one of the worst lives. Her life is a living f-cking nightmare. I have panic attacks thinking about her life."
- On working with Lindsay Lohan on Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen in 2004: "That was prenightmare. We didn't get along, but we were, like, 17, so of course we didn't get along. Girls are catty; they don't like each other."
To see what Megan has to say about Brian, being a sex symbol and why girls don't like her just read more.
- On her relationship with Brian: "Brian and I are not engaged, because when you're engaged, your goal is marriage. And I don't think that's a realistic goal for me right now. I know I'm not capable at this point in my life of being a good partner or a good wife. That's like a joke. We're sort of trying to figure out what our relationship is."
- On being referred to as a sex symbol: "It doesn't bother me. I don't know why someone would complain about that. That just means that the bar has been set pretty low. People don't expect me to do anything that's worth watching. So I can only be an overachiever. I think all women in Hollywood are known as sex symbols. That's what our purpose is in this business. You're merchandised, you're a product. You're sold and it's based on sex. But that's okay. I think women should be empowered by that, not degraded."
- On why girls don't usually like her: "I think most people are extremely insecure. As far as girls go, I have a really bad-ass personality. I'm smart and I can be really funny and interesting and I can go toe-to-toe with anybody in a conversation. So I'm not afraid to speak, and I think that's what people read as this überconfidence. I have a mouth and I'm not afraid to use it."

L.a.p.a.
Megan isn't so bad. I like what she says in this interview, the stuff about Angelina included. I don't think she can act but she is very pretty.
1love angelina, i agree. i really like this interview too. really like what she said about angelina, she comes off as humble and real in a way. people says she's cocky, but i have yet to feel that way about her. she just recognizes that she's hot and there's nothing wrong with that! i hear they are thinking of making her buffy in the movie remake. that would be kinda cool
2shut up megan fox, shut up.
3I got to say I really like this interview! I'm still unsure of her acting ability, but whatevs!
4'Who the f-ck is this little bulls-it brat who was in Transformers that's going to be the next me?'
I'm confused - does she think that Angelina thinks Megan is going to be the next her? Or does Megan think she's going to be the next Angelina?
Otherwise there's nothing in the interview that annoys me. I've never seen her act so my opinion of her is based solely on her looks...
5She's desperately trying to be the next Angelina and imitating all her moves, it's annoying.
6I have such a love/hate thing for megan fox. this interview was good though.
7I actually didn't mind her in this interview. Her bluntness is somewhat refreshing and I like that she admits she is not an amazing actress.
8I love her honesty and I think she is insanely gorgeous! I just wish she didn't have all the tats...
9Are you kidding me? She's been trying to be like Angelina Jolie. Her interview is empty,and she can't act. she's always trying to wear the same style like AJ. She's a beauty and that's all.
10LOL My favourite interview of her yet. Love her and hate her.
11love her!
12The Angelina quote should be read in its entirety. I read the whole thing on US Weekly.com. She says she just trying to be herself. Honestly they look just a little similar and thats it.
13Yeah, definitely a fun read, for once.
14This interview is pretty good, except for the last part on being referred to as a sex symbol, but I guess a lot of people feel that way even though I don't see it.
15Still don't like her! She talked sh*t about my Rob!!! She's beautiful but looks will only take her so far.
16she should just shut up seriously
17why is she always dragging into and bashing other actresses in her interview? i'm no scar jo, i'm no jennifer aniston. now she's bashing britney... she's not controversial at all as she claims. she is disliked because she makes stupid statements. who the f__k does she think she is to make such generalizing statement as "most people are insecure." talking about herself, eh?
18she comes off as cocky but i like that she is blunt and straightforward... very refreshing.
19She's pretty but it might be best if she just sticks to her scripts. Recently quoted in the U.K:
"I'd barter with him [if a wannabe world destroyer threatened], and say instead of the entire planet, can you just take out all of the white trash, hillbilly, anti-gay, super Bible-beating people in Middle America?"
Talk about biting the hand that feeds...what a bigoted moron.
20Hate her, but prob cause i'm jealous.
21Why the hell is she attacking Britney??? She is nothing but an A**hole. Can't stand her.
22That interview was definitely an interesting read.
23"As far as girls go, I have a really bad-ass personality."
And humble to boot. So she thinks women don't like her because she's cooler than them? God, that even felt stupid to type. Maybe other women don't like her because she *implies* that she's cooler/smarter/funnier than other women.
24She's awesome; she's one of the few girls in Hollywood I can actually stand!
25Whoever says she's dissing other stars- you're idiots. Go to ew.com (entertainment weekly) and read the full interview.
She said she doesnt have fame like Jennifer- she isn't followed by paps like that. And she said Britney is STALKED.. and that her life is awful because of the media. So don't even go there.
She's not trying to be Angelina.. so what they both have dark hair and tats.. so do I, and millions of girls. The only argument of her wanted to be Angie I've heard is the tatts, eyes, and hair. Angelina is a natural blonde.
And MF says she isn't a good actress. But she wants to learn how to be. She's very honest and real.
26I wish she'd make up her mind about the sex symbol thing, I distinctly remember her saying she doesn't want to be labeled as one...
27now I'm confused
some one needs to shoot Megan Fox in the mouth
28riiiiiight.. because you should be talking instead?
29She certainly has Angelina beat in the looks department.
30She's a very beautiful woman with a lovely body.
Smart? Hmm
31But I like this interview. She's a little aggressive in what she has to say sometimes but at least she's honest.
okay okay I kind of have a little more respect for her after reading this article... but really how hard is it to be in a committed relationship... either commit or let it go... that guy has a kid, doesn't anyone have the balls to what's right for the kids.
Reminds me of a few lines from a movie: Can't place the movie, but:
32"What about the kids?"
"Kids are resilient."
"Then why are there so many f*&^Ked up adults?!"
beautiful! but trashy and ignorant. perhaps a charm school of some kind could help.
33
34I love what she mentioned on her relationship with Brian
35Im so tired of this woman being plastered all over the place. I could see if she wasn't being hyped up because of her acting talent. but she's being hyped up just because of the way she looks. When she starts to lose her looks people won't care about her anymore.
Im so tired of people being so shallow.
36i think she's hilarious. She's one of the more honest people in hollywood. Her bluntness and realness comes off as being cocky, but she is really overtly confident, which is a side that you don't see in women in hollywood due to the fear of remarks they would get, like the one megan receives all the time.
37can't she just shut up ?
38i'm so smart, i'm so hot... really?!?!
I have to say I don't find her particularly pretty, she always looks a bit trashy. But guys LOVE her. Her tattoos are dreadful.
39Wow, parts of the interview are good, some aren't. I guess I don't have to like her.
40actually, this interview makes me think differently about her.
i don't think she's trashing AJ, Brit, or Lindsay...she's just being bluntly honest about how she feels. i probably wouldn't like LL either and Brit's life IS a nightmare thanks to all the paps!
on BAG-i'd rather see a couple do what they are doing than rush into marriage w/ doubts and then divorce in 6 mos. now THAT would be 10x's worse for BAG's son, IMO.
41yeah she's a little cocky, but at least she's kind of just being honest about it all....i'd prefer that to a paris hilton type any day...
42She sounds like a 10 year old little boy when he first learns to curse. Just saying words for the sake of sounding tuff. People who have something to say, doesn't need to use the cuss words.
43I can't stand this woman. She's so arrogant. Angelina is way better than she is. At least she helps people and doesn't go around talking about her sex life and how much she hates men. I think Britney Spears should outrank her on the sexiest lists because she has a much prettier face and a hotter body and a much nicer persona. And it's pretty obvious she doesn't get along with other women. That's her hang up. Women should unite, not be catty.
44i agree with mayeb63...she doesn't come off as honest to me. she's trying hard to sound tough. " I think all women in Hollywood are known as sex symbols. That's what our purpose is in this business." then maybe its time you go to porn, megan.
45I actually really like this interview. And let's face it - women's insecurities often make them dislike women who are prettier or more confident than them.
46yes megan, i am so incredibly jealous of your huge chola sharpie drawn on brows. i wish i had big bush brows too, that look fake. my natural borws that i get waxed every 2 weeks just doesnt cut it! my petite face with feminine features wil lnever compare with your transvestite looking face and your michael jackson nose. i have naturally grey/green eyes, but i guess its so cool to have fake blue contacts now a days (wasnt that so 1998?) a girl can only dream, cant she, to look like a chola/trans/hoe
47wishful thinking wh*re
48Good for her. She's fighting back before Hollywood can f*ck her up. If she talks smack about herself and Hollywood, what can anyone really say back? I prefer it to "I'm so normal and I run on a treadmill and I'm so modest."
49if she honestly sits around worrying about britney spears' life then she really does need help
