The Hitler Comments Did Get Megan Fox Fired

As the release of Transformers: Dark Of The Moon ebbs nearer, we’re getting more and more convoluted reasons that Megan Fox is a horrible person who should never darken Hollywood’s door again. Pretty much, everyone who could have sold her out after working with her did; that included Michael Bay, his disgruntled production staff who posted to his official website, the screenwriter, Ehren Kruger, who expressed in GQ that Fox wasn’t interested when she arrived for rehearsals, ‘She seemed like an actress who didn’t want to be part of it,’ co-star Shia LaBeouf, who told GQ, ‘She started s*** talking our captain, which you can’t do,’ and replacement ingenuous, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. Pretty much everyone involved in the part of the process that made Fox a star within two movies is hating themselves for it and mocking her for a lack of professionalism and grace. Taking a relatively-long time to respond to rumours of her firing, Bay admitted Fox was fired for that moronic Wonderland interview in which she compared him to Hitler. Which would mean she was fired and she lied about leaving of her own free will. Explaining that it was executive producer Steven Spielberg who found the comments offensive/ distasteful, Bay recalls their conversation, ‘You know the Hitler thing. Steven [Spielberg] said, fire her right now.’ Bay was nonplussed by the interview, but still fired her anyway.

I Dunno Why Mickey Rourke Hated Passion Play

Mickey Rourke has spoken out not once but twice about how filming Passion Play opposite Megan Fox was akin to having acid thrown in his face. I assume something was lost in drunken translation, as filming was clearly awesome. I don’t get the vitriol spewed toward his co-star, when it looks like she was doing an outstanding job. These are stills from Fox’s topless and possibly nude scenes that I didn’t know about. All of which makes me think that Rourke has some kind of vendetta against Fox’s breasts. Despite its merciless trailer, the film looks watchable. Assuming it’s four parts sidetidday to every one part Rourke’s face.

Mickey Rourke Trashes Passion Play Movie Again

Mickey Rourke evidently never wants to work again. Last month Rourke turned up uninvited to a Scream 4 screening and trashed pretty much every movie he’d made in the last five years. And some of the people with whom he’d worked, including Megan Fox. Since that time he apologised and I blithely assumed there was a lesson or two to be learned in there somewhere. Shows how much I know. Rourke’s at it again. Not in Vulture this time, but The New York Observer with whom he spoke about the straight-to-DVD release. Told The Observer was excited to see his film, in its extremely limited release, Rourke replied, ‘You shouldn’t be.’ Asked why not, he explained, ‘It’s terrible.’ He elaborated, ‘I don’t know if you’d even want to watch a slide show of that.’ So Fox’s portrayal of a winged hooker shoving her tiddays in his face wasn’t enough of a bribe to stop him trash-talking this film. The trailer’s below and you can judge how good or bad it is.

Megan Fox Removing Her Marilyn Monroe Tattoo

Tattoos drawn in Biro do come off. Let this be a lesson: hand-drawing pictures you found on Google Images is never a good idea. It takes minutes to get good Biro to come off. Minutes. That’s botox time you’re never going to get back. At least, from the look, I glean that’s how Megan Fox came upon that monstrosity of a Marilyn Monroe tattoo on her arm. The one that doesn’t even look like the late actress, rather like some drag queen or deformed caricature of the woman. Fox is hardly the only actress with tattoos; Scarlett Johansson has a really ugly one in the same place. At least Fox is getting rid of hers, after spitting on and rubbing the same spot on her arm did nothing but make it red. The New York Daily News and others noted Fox’s ink has been getting less… inky. Like I said, minutes. It’s rumoured she’s getting the face lasered off. Which seems excessive, as there’s little saliva and Kleenex can’t accomplish. Add her to 50 Cent, Mark Wahlberg, and Pharrell Williams, who also realised tattoos aren’t so edgy when you’re 70.

Pictured above in September 2010 and again this April, the difference is clear.

Mickey Rourke Apologises For Dissing Megan Fox

Mickey Rourke is sorry for making fun of Megan Fox’s acting. He now clarifies he didn’t mean to mock her during a recent Vulture interview. He told them, last week, she’s the ‘best actress… I’ve worked with [smirk].’ He explained away the negative comments, made after an extremely long rant dissing every film he’s made post-Iron Man 2, saying he was butthurt. Specifically, he hated the event, for Scream 4, which he attended only to schmooze with Harvey Weinstein. And he wanted those kids to GET OFF HIS LAWN. Rourke sent an email to Vulture correcting his statements, for which he’s suffering some weird buyers’ remorse. ‘Hey, guys. When I talked to you, I was at a party. It was loud, crowded, I was in a shitty mood and I was trying to get rid of your reporter. Mitch is one of my best friends since we were kids. I loved working with him, [I'd] do it again tomorrow. I don’t know why I said that stupid s**t. I love Mitch and I love Megan… My bad.’

Mickey Rourke Retracts Megan Fox Compliment

Megan Fox isn’t one of the best actresses of all time, or whatever it was Mickey Rourke asserted while high after working with her on a movie that later went straight to DVD. Rourke has given an interview with Vulture, in which he poops on all of the recent films he’s made; clarifying that it’s fine… because he only made them ‘for the money.’ After admitting he only attended a screening of Scream 4 ‘…to see Harvey [Weinstein],’ and ‘I don’t know nothing about the movie,’ he slams a movie he’s in with 50 Cent, calling it ‘A really bad movie… Terrible.’ There’s more. Asked what he’s smoking, he adds, ‘[The movie with 50 Cent is] so bad it can’t get out [in stores].’ Rourke then moves on to Passion Play, out on limited release ‘because it’s not very good,’ where he co-starred with Fox; whom he complimented on her talents at the time of filming. ‘Terrible. Another terrible movie. But, you know, in your career and all the movies you make, you’re going to make dozens of terrible ones.’ So, what happened to his compliments of Fox and the experience working with ‘the most talented actress I’ve worked with’? He repeats, and clarifies… ’That I worked with [smirk].’

Pictures show Megan Fox at the TIFF premiere of Passion Play, September 2010.
