Nov 12 2009 - 12:00pm Megan Fox is on the cover of this week's
New York Times Magazine, and she has a lot to say. She opened up about why she thinks
Jennifer's Body didn't gain a lot of traction at the box office, as well as what she meant when she compared Michael Bay to Hitler. She also talked about her reputation,
saying, "Women tear each other apart.

She is so full of @)(*&$ she makes those comments SPECIFICALLY to get noticed. To make sure she's not like everyone else. She wants to be JUST like Angelina Jolie. The bad ass hottie. And yet she only has the hottie part right.
1Jennifer's Body was a bad movie period. I also think Natalie Portman, Kate Winslet, and Penelope Cruz are beautiful, but they aren't loud mouthed idiots. Scarlett Johansson is considered super sexy, but she never says anything about women being jealous of her.
2Ugh. She makes me ill with her comments. As a woman, I don't dislike her for being beautiful... I dislike her for being ignorant.
3Sigh. She and Jessica Biel (and probably many others) need to look around them and realize that there are TONS of beautiful celebs (more so then them) that are recognized for their talent and have lots of female fans as well. And she should know that that very sentence is why girls don't like her, she's just so full of herself...
4"If I had been a typical starlet and said all the right things, I wouldn’t have escalated to this level."
Um excuse me? What level is that? She did Transformers and Jennifer's Body...................versus say Amanda Seyfried who would be the "typical starlet" who has actually had some really great movies. Anon 1, I totally agree that she just trys to be the next bad ass Angelina Jolie.
5she needs to get off her high horse
6she is stunning until she opens her mouth. it's all downhill after that. girl is dumb as a box of rocks.
7Also I think she comes out and says these things as an excuse, so in the future when she isn't a huge star she can say, "Everyone was so obsessed with my looks I was never taken serious."
8she makes me sick i wish she would shut up, who does she even think she is!? her movies SUCK and she didnt get the roles im SURE for her wonderful acting talents! there are WAY more beautiful celebs and you dont hear them saying this bullsh$t
9Possibly. The problem with Fox is she is opinionated. And pretty. At this stage of her career she is not very talented, though that can change (anyone heard of Angelina Jolie, Julianne Moore or Charlize Theron?). She just needs to put her head down and get to work and hopefully realize that it is mostly her appearance that has gotten her where she is today professionally and will have to work even harder to be respected. Though she has admitted as much in other interviews. Women seem to eat their own though. If you are pretty and sexual you don't stand much of a chance to be treated fairly, in general. She is correct that the labels do seem to roll much harsher than if she was pretty, sweet and demure.
10She is ridiculous. Her looks have gotten her movie roles that her acting talent (or lack thereof) never would have gotten. If women dislike her, it's for comments such as these. There are plenty of talented, beautiful actresses out there that don't get the same type of eye rolling from women that Megan Fox does. Can you imagine Jennifer Aniston or Catherine Zeta Jones saying things like this to the New York Times?
11I agree with splork.
Ms. Fox does say some pretty idiot things. You get what you put out there sometimes... So there.
12I have to AGREE with her on what she says about woman being catty b*tches to good looking women. It is so unbelievably true.
Girls ARE terrible to each other.
13lol! is it just me or does she remind you of that guy from silence of the lambs in this photo?
14@anonymous 14:
HAHAHAHHAAHHAHAHAHAHHA she is doing the SAME pose! good call that cracked me up.
15She's a beautiful girl, I'll give her that. Jennifer's Body didn't do so well because it was awful. Megan Fox CAN NOT act, let alone carry a movie!
16Megan Fox just says some of the dumbest things. She is a beautiful woman but that's not why women don't like her. Hollywood is full of beautiful women such as Halle Berry, Julia Roberts..etc that have a ton a female fans.
17I think Kristen Stewart is prettier than Megan Fox. Kstew is exactly what Megan tries to be but fails miserably ... REAL. Kstew is not taking quotes from bigger star interviews and trying to make them her own. Megan needs to get her own identity.
18i think she is just very opinionated and people cant handle her tongue. i dont see the problem with her.
19sorry, kristen stewart looks like a boy next to megan fox. megan is beautiful, stupid but beautiful.
20I like you Megan and my mom and I LOVED Jennifer's Body. I would not be mean to you because of your beautiful looks but would like to have lunch with you at your favorite mall at Olive Garden. Don't be mean to Megan she seems like a nice mellow homebody person!
21Um, yo, Megan-if you're right, why is it that every woman I know totally loves Angelina and her sex appeal? THE DIFFERENCE IS ANGELINA IS TALENTED AND NOT A POSER AND DOESN'T DRESS EXCLUSIVELY TO GIVE GUYS HARD ONS. There's a difference between the Angelinas and Megans of the world--Angelina is naturally fierce and wild, candid, a risk taker. Megan on the other hand comes off like an insecure beauty who spends every interview trying to give guys wood.
22Lame. I've seen Megan's high school picture. She was a pretty girl, but NOT the same girl we see today. Girlfriends obviously gotten veneers, a couple nose jobs, a boob enhancement then she went smaller, and lip collagen. You do an extreme makeover on your face like that, it's hard to hear you bemoan being so beautiful. You paid for it..lol
23She's giving excuses. MEN didn't go see her movie either. You know why? This chick can't act to save her life, so they save their 10 bucks and just wack off to her online for free.
24well, it's not her "talent" that got her where she is, wherever THAT is....and she's not the fcuking end all in beauty so maybe she should stfu and learn how to "act"...my manicurist is prettier than her, shyt, get a grip
25she talks too much. anybody who talks about how attractive they are all the time has issues.
26If she was fat
27everybody would say that she is so right
and girls can be real b*****s sometimes.
So everybody saying how stupid she is proves her point.
um, angelina is the not the 'same' girl she was in high school. nose, cheeks, upper lip all changed through the miracles of brilliant plastic surgery.
28What a nerve she has. Every interview I've ever read with her, she spends the whole time talking about how hor ny she is, how she had a russian str ipper girlfriend, how she loves kissing girls. She's the one who gave the image of being a dumb ho, that's h ow she comes off in interviews. And now she's gonna FURTHER alienate women by blaming US for not seeing her lame movie? Cry me a river...
29she's right...girls are super mean to each other....BUT SHE IS A MORON who looks like she is 30 instead of 22-23 and CANNOT ACT HER WAY OUT OF A PAPER BAG!
30Whateva, Megan. Your complaining doesn't take into account that Jennifers Body got panned by the majority of critics who saw it, and men critics at that. So give it a rest with the "girls hate me because I'm beautiful." I'd give you a chance if you came out with a good movie and stopped sucking your thumb like it's a d i c k all the time. Grow up.
31I love how she complains about her looks being an obstacle, yet every magazine she's on she is on her underwear. If you don't want to be seen a certain way, then don't act it. They are many beautiful celebrities who are taking serious and are well respected by other women.
32I know her comment may sound arrogant but I do agree with her point. Maybe the way she says it makes people dislike her but her point is still her point and if it were right, then we must agree with it. Girls cannot stand girls; especially pretty girls. That's the fact that we (including guys) all know about. If you are pretty and you get promoted on your job, then people just say that you sleep with the boss to get it. If you are pretty and you date someone less looking than you or even older than you, they would say you are a gold-digger. If a guy is madly deeply in love with his pretty gf, people would say that she uses sex to blind him and that love is not real. When her look fades away, he will get bored of her and dump her...If a pretty girl is nice to you, you would try your best to be mean to her to get even with her for why you are ugly and she's pretty. If she's mean to you, you would be afraid of her and step back a little because you know she will bite you to death but then would try to stab her back whenever she's unaware. What is that called? JEALOUSY. The only way for a girl to be liked by another girl is she's ugly and willing to kiss other's a**.
33angelina's gotten surgery, they all have. But she looks like the same person. MEgan LOOKS NOTHING LIKE SHE USED TO. type in the search words vintage megan fox perezhilton eyebrows.
34And you will laugh at how plain she used to be. Chick wasn't even homecoming queen pretty.
I agree with comment #33.
35Please, if she was fug we'd have never seen or heard of this girl.
36Yes, girls can be catty. But girls will also cool it on the cattiness if you give them something to work with. Angelina is an example of a hot chick who won over women.
Unfortunately, Megan's no Angelina. She's Jessica Biel for 2009, and Jessica's made the "poor pretty me" excuses as well. Guess what? They both can't act. Take some acting lessons, spend less time on stylists and botox and spray on tanning, and gett better at your craft.
That's exactly what Halle Berry did, and that broad is hotter at 45 than Megan is now. She worked on her craft, she took roles that de-beautified her, and she won respect despite her amazing boobs and hot figure.
37Littlebopeep, Radar Online has two "exclusive" set of Pictures of Teen Angelina. She looks exactly the same. I also think Megan looks the same as she did when she was a teen. People find pix of certain angles and say "aha! Plastic surgery" when it's just the angle of the pictures that give the illusion.
38No offense peeps, but every thread of about her on any gossip site I've read proves what she is saying here. We are catty and she is judged based on her looks. She doesn't come off at all as unintelligent - she's actually pretty articulate. But she does need to think about a filter, maybe. She can't change the fact that she's exceptionally pretty and she'd be a moron to not cash in on it right now while everyone is talking about her. And believe me, they are. We are.
39amen to 37. Megan is correct girls can be mean. But that concept is not applicable to her problem. Her problem is she's not been in good movies, and our main impressions of her is spreading eagle in guys magazines while trying to talk dirty to them. That's her fault, not the female population's fault. She made her bed, now she's lying in it, and don't blame women for that.
4039---online boards are NEVER a good indication of anything-they are always mean spirited. What Megan has said has some truth. But she's not owning her responsibility with where she finds herself career wise. she's used her hotness to the point that's all anyone thinks of her. As the doable girl from the robot movie. She is the one to shape that image, by constantly doing very sexy photoshoots and saying sexual things in every interview. Of course people are going to see her simply some sex kitten, and nothing more. She needs to work on her image and what she turly wants to portray.
41Lame. Natalie Portman is hot, and yet while people think of her as sexy, they think she's clever and talented too. Because she is smart, and she's taken on challenging roles. Even Kristen Stewart for all her awkwardness, has a very impressive resume in terms of who she's worked with. Some people have done the hard work to have the reputation they have. What has megan done, other than 300 covers for Maxim and Transformers movies? She sounds almost entitled like she thinks she deserves more. It's a joke.
42to littltbopeep who loves megan fox- be informed that angelina jolie had a nose job only unlike megan who had a total face makeove-nose,lips and breasts jobs. as for kristen stewart,she did not have any plastic surgery work done to her and she is already beautiful specially when she really puts an effort in fixing herself.
43I take issue with Megan Fox for this comment: If only we didn’t have these white-trash Bible-beating hillbillies in middle America. White trash aside, I hate to tell you, Miss Fox, but "middle America" are the people who go see your movies. They may live in the mountains of the south, they may go to church on Sundays, but they also go see your silly robot movies too. So shut your trap.
44I really don't see where she's complaining about where she is careerwise. Name one actress that hasn't done sexy or sexual photoshoots for a magazine.
I completly disagree. I think people are more honest on these boards about what they truly think than they would be if they were sitting in front of another person. Anonymity does wonders for saying any thing you feel like saying but were (hopefully) taught not to say by your parents out of basic politeness.
45i think she's so annoying. yes i think she's gorgeous and i hate her for it, but if she wasn't such an annoying b*tch face, i would probably like her.
i just don't like when people are ugly on the inside, but pretty on the outside.. its not really fair. hahaha.
46she's saying that women won't give her a chance. But of course she hasn't been catering to women at all this whole time, she's been catering to men. More power to her, it's turned her into the most desired chick on the planet. But expect that fast rise to the top to have consequences, and that includes men not willing to fork out ten bucks to see her act badly when they can look at her online for free.
and no boards aren't honest really. They simply attract mostly bitter alienated people. lol I've seen studies on this and the nature of boards. Disgruntled people on average do all the crazy rants.
47She focus on beeing sexy and horny all the time !!!
48I don't really like her, i prefer some more natural beauty...
She need to get over herself.
49I have a huge girl crush on eva mendes. Shes' super sexy and sassy and very open sexually. Love her. Fox? Not so much, she seems so factory made, from her looks, right down to all her cliched "shocking" statements. She needs to change the game up, and do something that does seem to come out of some playbook for upstart starlets.
