This week, the award for Self-hating Bisexual Asswipe and Overall Tool goes to Megan Fox, co-star of "Transformers 2", who has announced to Esquire magazine that she is bisexual; that she thinks everyone is bisexual; and that she sleeps with lesbian women, but not bisexual women, because men are dirty and she will not sleep with a woman who sleeps with dirty men.

First, allow me to say what a privilege it is, as a humble member of the fluid sexuality persuasion, to be represented by this giant Los Angeles intellect, this walking piece of pornography, this tool of the patriarchy; who has managed during her 15 minutes of fame to do more for bisexual visibility than I could if I labored for 100 years, slogging it out within the confines of my little blog.
Yes, thanks to spokespersons like Megan, I can hold my head up with pride. But only if, first, I slink away in despair to the nearest dark watering hole and drown my brain in alcohol.
How is it that cumstains like this always manage to get their turn at the microphone, while far more intelligent members of our species vanish without a trace into the background? Is this part of the vast right wing conspiracy? Maybe Carrie Prejean is right about one thing--you want to be assured a platform for your opinions, no matter how inane--get the boob job.
There are so many things wrong with Megan's personal philosophy, where do I begin?
1) Men are dirty. Now here is a real man-hater. Truly, fellas, you don't have to worry about the dykes, who for the most part, just aren't interested in you. No. You have to worry about dames like this one, who loath you while they are having sex with you. Maybe you think that's hot--in which case, you're a dirty, dirty boy. But in the end, would she only run after that lesbian purity to help her feel clean and good again?
2) She will sleep with lesbians, who are clean, but not other dirty bis, like herself, who have tainted their bodies with male contact. Good luck, Megan. According to a 1995 British survey of lesbian and bisexual women, 85 % have had sex with men at least once, most likely when they lost their virginity. 70% have had sex with men within the last 4 years, 12% have had sex with men in the last year. 24% of lesbians and 29% of bisexual women become pregnant.
But wait, there's more. Women who have sex with women are more likely to have sex with men who have sex with men. Now that's keeping it in the queer family! Trouble is, 39% will have unprotected vaginal sex and 11% will have unprotected anal sex. See yourself in these statistics, Megan? Because girls like you seem so likely to try and avoid the whole safer sex negotiation (so unromantic, so lacking on spontaneity) by seeking out only the "clean" lesbians to have sex with.
3) How a gal like you finds lesbians when you think that everyone is bisexual is beyond me. Not to mention that, now with this big Esquire interview, finding lesbian women who will sleep with you might become a little bit harder--unless they overlook that whole "dirty bisexual" thing. And the fact that they are being used.
4) I guess that if men will no longer have sex with you because you think they're dirty, and lesbians will no longer have sex with you because they realize you are using them, and bisexuals will no longer have sex with you because you are an utter disgrace, that leaves having sex with straight women. Or yourself. Oh, but wait--straight women have sex with dirty men and so do you. I guess you won't be having sex with anyone from now on, including yourself, because you are filthy, filthy, filthy.
As for me, I shall continue with my wanton and indiscriminate lifestyle, since I will have sex with anyone who shows signs of grey matter between their ears--which excludes Megan. At least I use latex.

All kidding aside, here we go again with a person who had that taste of fame and now will say or do whatever they can to cling to it. Can the centerfold be that much further off?
Jesus, and I thought we only got that kind of flashback from straights and gays.
Rated.
pretty much sums it up eh? even a dirty male like myself can see that:)
She looks incredible though.
As for the mouth, my guess would be . . . overbite?
I don't really care who she sleeps with. But even after this, I still want to see what she looks like naked. At least now I know why I
would rather see her body than listen to her talk.
As for her appearance, enjoy the surface scenery--just know that there is nothing underneath there.
As for transgendered and intersex people, I'm sure they are quite glad to be far from this mess.
I wouldn't stress over her bisexuality, she seems to be a moron on a variety of different subjects.
Please don't let her be Wonder Woman. Wonder Woman is one of my heroines.
Thinking about which has given me an interesting afternoon's goofing off.
Dirty. Dirty. Dirty.
:)
There, now that's settle, when can we start filming the strapon face smacking scene for Transformer 3.1? :)
ok, so she isnt very articulate. but why do we expect our celebrities to be articulate? shes in her early 20s and has had fame thrust upon her. I dont think she is an attention whore like britney, madonna, etcetera. her outspoken opinions are refreshing. loved that interview where she disses disney youngster stars as vapid. I think it virtually led exactly to a hilarious onion video spoof.
she hasnt really figured out her own life yet, and who expects her to figure out other peoples lives? why should she be an expert on M/F psychology etc?? when young girls like this trip up on it, it only proves how BIPOLAR our own culture is.
megan is one of those women who is so beautiful that it short circuits our brains. speaking as a M. my policy is, as long as she can be quiet for awhile, long enough to be seduced, its all in good fun right?? :p
As for the LesBian strap-on scene--my people will call your people and they'll have lunch.
Ms. Fox is judging other bi women as dirty for sleeping with men. How she can sleep with men or stand herself, I'm sure I don't know.
The media always has room for the Tila Tequilas, the Rikki and Vikki Ikki's, the Megan Fox's--that pornographic image of the dirty bi will be played over and over like a broken record. I don't regret putting my two cents in. It doesn't even begin to balance out the impact.
I'm amazed this even made it to the OS cover. I don't even think this is the worthiest story to be on the cover today, even if I am enjoying it.
As for needing people who speak up about the reality of being queer, instead of leaving it to the mainstream media and right wing pundits--what do you think the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force is all about? Or GLAAD--the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation? Or the general queer press--do you think they just keep quiet and not bother people about how LGBT people are represented?
If Megan Fox wants to honestly and authentically discuss her own insecurities and fears about being bisexual, I think she would easily get a sympathetic hearing from me. Instead, she crosses a line when she talks about other bi women being dirty. Speak for yourself, sweetheart.
You are the second guy to say that if only she could just shut up, we could look at her gorgeous bod without any problems. That's the kind of sexist bullshit she is embedded in. Nobody demands from her that she actually think about what she is saying because they are too busy staring at her tits. It's going to result in just as vapid a career as those Disney kids she makes fun of.
But still, grrrr . . .
So is a "GLAAD Bag" a euphemism for safe sex?
@Stellaa--sorry, dear. I recommend zumalicious's latest post, "Brain Freshing II A Challenge". That picked me up right away.
I don't have a problem with that part of her comments. Its a VERY rare man or woman that hasn't had at least one same-sex erotic dream or teenage encounter, so the notion that very few people are completely 100% gay or straight seems a reasonable proposition. Where my problems come in is the whole "dirty" argument. I'm glad you highlighted the contradictions of her position ... if men are dirty, then the men she has sex with are also dirty, and as a "dirty bisexual woman" she is pushing that dirtiness onto the lesbians she sleeps with. Contradictions in position like that SHOULD make the average person's head spin as soon as they form the thought, but thats clearly not the case here.
Thanks for highlighting this ... the last thing bisexuals need right now is a spokesperson like this.
would stoop to publish such crap.
Stick to the dialogue that's written for you. Don't ad lib.
Many a dream girl has become a nightmare ad libbing.
Damn you reality!
She probably just loves herself, in which case, she'd best make sure her hands are clean at all times.
Silly bitch.
I imagine she regrets speaking before thinking. I hope.
I am pretty sure Decepticons are dirty but I will have to go and watch the second movie to be sure.
Is Captain Jack HArkness dirty? I hardly think so.
She don't do squat for me- not my type. I think she's a hag.
My answer is this, speaking as a dirty man, I will not see the Transformers movie, I will not purchase the products she endorses or promotes. It is clear that neither she or her employers want my money and I will oblige them gladly. I will not spend my money on publications that use her as a draw for sales. I'm sick of this type of behavior.
Megan Fox, you are just not worth it. Even if you are pleasant to look at, this bit of idiocy removes any appeal that you might have had.
On the other hand, this moron elicited a wonderfully funny post from you, so maybe there's an up-side!
They NEVER come to my house.
Of course, they would NEVER be allowed in anyway.
This thing which is the subject of your blog is yet another example of the type who
Can't
Understand
Normal
Thinking
Here, dirty men...here dirty men. Momma's got a present for you!
I agree on her idiocy though. Her entire take on bisexuality made me very confused, and also frustrated. The "beautiful women can't be smart and are, in fact, quite dumb" stereotype seems to be getting reinforced quite a bit lately, dammit. It makes it 1000x harder for the rest of us~
~~walking away shaking my head~~
As for Megan Fox... the only way what she said could in any way piss anyone off is if you expected more than something like this out of her. I don't, and therefore what she said or what she thinks has no impact on me and I can concentrate on what I DO expect out of her... to look like that.
Parlay vous hubba hubba?
Secondly, she admits in the article that she is a hypocrite (conveniently left out of your tirade). At least there's some level of self awareness that can't be denied. She didn’t “announce” anything so much, I’m sure, as answer a question (this is a profile piece after all) or simply ramble to a reporter.
Lastly, who cares? Making a big deal out of who Megan Fox sleeps with (or doesn't) and then complaining about Megan Fox talking about who she sleeps with is, well, a little ridiculous. This is Esquire, not the Economist. Maybe it would help to think of her as the anti-Miss California, promoting (sort of) homosexuality.
Beating up on this immature girl is like a grad student bullying a fifth grader. Sure, it's easy pickings, but is it something you should really do?
And what’s with all the anger? "Self-hatiing, asswipe, tool, cumstain?" Really? Someone put a microphone in front of the pretty girl (happens every day) and she said something stupid. Is that reason enough to eviscerate her so hatefully?
I politely disagree. A 22 year old has been a legal adult for four years now. And this one is exceptionally privileged. If a 22 year old is like a 9 year old, when do we become responsible? At 33, like Hobbits?
Do I know everything about my sexuality and that of others that I know now? Of course not. But I knew more than that, and I'd like to think that if anyone interviewed me about my sexuality, I'd be able not to say something so inane and offensive.
Rated & Cheers!
I kinda liked David Bowie, but he was before my time. And it needs to be a male bisexual icon this time, just to really rile up all the folk who say they don't exist.
What a weird woman, this Megan Fox.
First, let me say that I was totally unprepared for this kind of reception. Many, many, many thanks to the people who read, rated, and commented on this post. As of this writing, this post has been viewed 15, 284 times--that's three times more than my previous most popular post, "Transgender Awareness Miles Ahead in Argentina." I want everyone to know that I truly, deeply appreciate everyone's comments. You've contributed invaluably to this post via your discussion and I am grateful for it.
Why does this matter? For those who have been paying attention to the mainstream media, where bisexual men are often portrayed as AIDS carrying pariahs to straight people, or to some of the gay and lesbian media (I include blogs), where bisexual women are depicted as disease carrying pariahs of the queer women's community, you know why being called a dirty bisexual cuts deep to the bone. For those who haven't followed any media for the past 28 years--surprise! You and the Unibomber have a lot of catching up to do.
If you read the banner, you know that this is a spot where I address anything that impacts the lives of bi/pansexual/queer/fluid sexuality people specifically and LGBTQ folks generally. Welcome to my soapbox, which, because it's now received such outrageous exposure, will be pried from my cold, dead hands.
It certainly would have been interesting if evangelical pastor Ted Haggard had acknowledged to his congregation, "I know it's hypocritical of me, since I enjoy male prostitutes with my crystal meth, but homosexuality is still an abomination." It would have been equally interesting if Larry Craig had declared to his constituents, "I enjoy a good glory hole as much as the next closet case, but I will continue to oppose gay marriage."
Publicly acknowledging one's hypocrisy without examining the underlying reasons why one is a hypocrite displays only a shade more self-awareness than not.
As for coming down too hard on Megan Fox, self-hating bisexuals evoke my care and concern; they open up discussion on the causes of internalized homo- and biphobia. Self-hating bisexuals who hate on other bisexuals, lesbians, gay men, queers, or transgendered people evoke my wrath. Being bi-identified will not spare them.
I'm not even counting the exposure of various internet sites that have carried her comments around the world. As of this writing, I have received 9 Google Alerts on her interview and I expect even more in my email.
And they would be there even if I said nothing. Yep, I am an ant in the world of big media. But I will say my piece, especially since no one else seems to be saying anything about how even the statements of an over-privileged, dumb-as-a-box-of-rocks, masturbation aid, like Megan Fox, hurt people and contribute to their discrimination.
I predict, though, that this will not be the end of prejudicial comments on the part of Ms. Fox. No, if she's a bi-hater, she probably has a few other choice prejudices to share with us all. Wait for it.
If she has any conscience at all, I am sure I have said nothing that Megan hasn't said to herself in the wee dark hours of the night. But I'm not crying for Megan Fox. Besides being a self-hating bi-hater (also man-hater and lesbian-user) Megan Fox is making more money this year than I will ever see in a lifetime.
At $3 to $4 million for Transformers, she can now afford to go to several colleges and learn more three-dollar words than I will ever know. She's being lined up for more 18-35 male demographic movies, so soon she will be able to afford her own private island. Let's hope it doesn't all go up her nose, because right now, she's got E! True Hollywood Story written all over her.
@bobbot--your suggestion is the finest of all. Hit them all in their pocketbooks. I'm ashamed I didn't bring it up, being communistically inclined.
Thank you, by the way, for your calm, sensible, and mature comments to my post. They are appreciated.
Some dude named Ed Anger had some funny words to say:
Seems some movie star named Megan Fox did what Hollywood types do best: bad mouthing the U.S. of A. to a bunch of foreigners!
Megan Fox is in some kind of giant robot movie, and she wishes that instead of destroying the world, the giant robot would “just take out all of the white trash, hillbilly, anti-gay, super bible-beating people in Middle America.”
This is pretty crazy, since Megan Fox herself is from Tennessee, where the smartest guy is Al Gore, a big fat idiot who wants the rest of us to use windmills while he lives in a giant mansion. And he gets millions of people to believe him when he tells downright lies, plus they give him money to say them. (Hey, maybe Gore’s not so stupid after all…)
I hear that Megan Fox has a bunch of tattoos in some Chinese language but she doesn’t even know what they mean! That sounds pretty “white trash” to me! I bet the tattoos say, “Isn’t it funny what round eyes will fall for?”
If Hollywood had any sense, they’d make a movie about “white trash, hillbilly, anti-gay, super bible-beating people in Middle America” giant robots! Hell, instead of giant robots they could be monster trucks, and their Bibles could turn into bombs!
And like Megan Fox, they transform themselves from white trash hillbillies from Middle America into stupid movie stars who hate the same people who pay their salaries!
Megan Fox needs to go back to standing around looking nice for as long as she can, which won’t be much longer anyway. When Hollywood is finished with her, maybe she could move back to Tennessee and take up snake handling or something!
Thank God I have a blog... ;)
http://media.egotastic.com/media/pictures/0805/megan-fox-topless-1-09.jpg
Now excuse me while I go scrub her name out of my brain with lye.
Speaking as the dirtiest of them all (a filthy man who has sex with other filthy men) - I'd still do her.
@bubbinator--I've clearly articulated all my positions for despising Megan Fox and I see no reason, including Megan's own flaws re: arrogance, to shift from them. You may cry for her; I won't. She'll make more money this year than I will ever see in a lifetime--and she's doing it on the backs of bisexual women just like me.
I don't care if all she is doing is reciting the talking points her publicist printed out for her on bisexuality. Her dehumanization of me as a bi woman in pursuit of wealth and fame is execrable. May all her new-found wealth go up her nose and may she be left with nothing but regret.
I have a feeling she would say whatever she thinks would get the Esquire boys all worked up.
Seriously though, I understand completely if you find her comments offensive. All I am saying is why does it have to boil down to quick insults and immature comments? You seem like an educated person. If I am reading an article in which the word cumstain is used to exacerbate a point, I'm not going to take that author seriously. Best of luck to you.
Like I said, come back when you've been fired for your sexuality or treated like a dirty bisexual whore. I'll bet you'll really understand then.
Megan Fox continues and continues and continues to show to me:
a) my children are never to know what a celebrity is evereverver.
or
b) you have to be dumb, hypocritical, obnoxious, revealing, ect. to have people know you for your talents.
Or in Megan's case, lack there of.
But enough. I do hope that people are checking out other writing on this blog--and on OS in general. My ire for Megan Fox is not the only thing I concentrate on.
are you M/F? it would help if you were clear on this. it seems like possibly, crazily, some of your anger is actually jealousy. I dont really see anyone taking her as a bisexual role model. do you??? what is the evidence for that??
youve got some really strong anger. bitterness. rage. hatred. who is the hater here? this is starting to look like its more about you than it is megan fox. and that of the two, if I met either in a dark alley, maybe you're the one that Id run from....
megan has said a FEW brief things about bisexuality. who knows what she really thinks? here comments are throwaway quips. she's said more than you mention in this brief article-- are you aware of her other comments? is it fair to judge her on )( that much of what she said? its not even clear if shes ever dated a woman. she could be a bi-poseur. is that worth getting worked up over?
as for her publicist calculating that her simulating a bi girl is likely to get her publicity, it seems like she probably doesnt HAVE a good publicist, otherwise her comments would be far more bland. Im sure she knows how to be bland, but she chooses not to be. more power to her.
now, sure, hollywood tends to go for "hot mindlessness" as many have stated in this thread. now, is that a problem with megan fox, or Hollywood? is there some psychological "projection" going on here? in which you scapegoat megan fox, harmless innocent, for trumped-up crimes against humanity??
lets see, try to be proactive instead of reactive. constructive instead of critical. turn that frown upside down!! how about naming a POSITIVE role model for bisexuality. pick ANYBODY. write about that!!
here are three other bisexual celebrities that show up in the media
- angelina jolie.. apparently not practicing any more
- lindsay lohan. yeah, another train wreck.
- madonna. madonna is not well known for her bisexuality, she has never been seen dating a woman in her career, although it seems like it may have happened clandestinely. in the closet.
how about a post?? famous bisexual celebrities, and your take on them, pros and cons. can you do it without too much hatred?? or maybe you just hate all public bisexuals who arent out of the closet?? and those that are, too??
She can't come near Angelina's intelligence, sincerity, and talent. Who didn't love Gia? Now that was HOT.
I'm not a fan of Megan Fox either. But, she's marketed well so she will remain in the lime light.
now, the other issue here is a significant age gap. you've stated your age in your blog. apparently, you are over 50. you are judging someone less than half your age, very harshly. I dont think you have a good feel for the culture of ppl half your age. do you?? do you hang out with ppl of that age?? do you know how they operate, how they function, how they relate?? ppl joke its almost like a whole other culture, and I would argue, thats not entirely a joke.
I was fired from my job for coming out at work as bisexual. How do I know? The friends I maintained from that workplace told me so after I was sacked. Talk around the office between bosses and workers. So what I had suspected before was confirmed.
Tolerating the intolerable is the ultimate in tolerance. That's a principle you practice everyday, right?
So let me reiterate for the 4,000th time that the media jaggernaut Megan has at her disposal ranks like Katrina compared to my little spit into the wind. Her biphobic--and now lesbo-phobic comments--freely zip around cyberspace without anyone, anyone of her media influence that is, calling her on her shit.
As I've said before, (if you had bothered to read my comments in this thread) I will retract every inglorious bastard thing I have said if she apologies for perpetuating dehumanizing and derogatory stereotypes against queer women.
Hmm . . . I hear crickets. I don't think that apology will be forthcoming. Ever.
repeat the kindergarten wisdom, a few times: two wrongs do not make a right.
consider that she was not really being very serious, that maybe she was semi deliberately being provocative, just to provoke anyone with too much sensitivity. which in fact, might include [ironically] "real" bisexuals...
you know those hypersensitive people who can find offense in ANY comment. lets admit it, probably ANYTHING that megan fox says about bisexuality, Ill bet you'll find a way to crucify her words. because you dont like her PERSONALLY it appears. probably, the bisexuality has nothing to do with it. Ill bet if she said NOTHING about bisexuality, you could have written out the same rant, almost verbatim.
however, I agree with bubbinator. gay, straight, bi, lesbian, transgendered, vulcan.... its all kinda irrelevant to the workplace. it depends how it happened. if you told a coworker outside of work that you were bi, and then the rumor mill fired up from their gossip, then that sounds like a corporate foul. if you told anybody while at work that you were bi, ... hmmm, that's just asking for trouble it seems....
Im straight, and suppose I put up posters about "straight pride" at work, and talked to anyone I could about "straight pride". it wouldnt make much sense would it??? but its not about sexuality. suppose I was a jehovahs witness, and did the same thing at work-- talk to everyone about it & my identity related to it. certainly not quite a firing offense, depending on the extremism, but its just not too appropriate, is it? extremism seems to exist around both sexuality, religion, .. all kinds of things relating to identity... is the corporation always right? no, but they always have the last word via the "sword of damocles" that hangs over every employee....
For those who don't know, LGBTQ people who have tried to stay in the closet at work have been found out--and then fired--and told by the bosses who fired them that, aside from the queer thing that they have so much objection to, they were upset that their employee had been so "dishonest" with them by not telling them, by staying in the closet.
If you don't believe that it happens, it's because you don't want to believe that it does.
As far as "straight pride" is concerned, 364 days out of the year are "straight pride" days--in case you hadn't noticed. Straight people don't go into graphic details about their sex life at work (thank God!) but they can mention around the water cooler the opposite sex spouse or relationship or date they had over the weekend. Closeted LGBTQ can either say absolutely nothing at work about their personal life--which will mark them as surely as saying they're gay among their co-workers--or they can make stuff up, change the pronouns, anything to make themselves seem straight so that they aren't targets.
As far as I go, I am out wherever I go because I can't stay in the closet. It is burdensome to me. The environment of the job I was fired from had straight, gay, and lesbian people working there--and everybody talked about their personal lives. Not graphically--my girlfriend, my boyfriend, my date, my wife, etc. I came out in my job interview. Boss said it wouldn't be a problem.
It was a problem. This was 20 years ago, when the gay community wasn't so friendly to bisexuals. How do I know for certain that it was a problem? Co-workers who were my friends after I had been fired TOLD ME SO. They specifically told me that it was my open bisexual identity that got me into trouble--and I wasn't any more graphic than anybody else at work. And I worked just as hard as everyone else.
I traveled out of the city for a few years, came back and worked as an openly bisexual person for 16 years at a restaurant established by a couple of old hippy radicals. They didn't care where I was on the Kinsey scale. They REALLY didn't care--and neither did most of the rest of the hippy staff.
You like to make up excuses to pretend that it just isn't possible. You're lying to yourselves to feel comfortable.
20 years is a pretty long time ago. a long time to be harboring a grudge. which is then unleashed on Megan Fox....
just speculating :)
I admit, bi's do seem to be one of the last to be "accepted", but geez, it seems endless. Im sure some new classification will soon be invented and they'll claim persecution from the bi's.....? sounds ridiculous, I know.. but maybe max has already invented/identified the new category... I guess in this case the new classification might be called Fox, as in Megan Fox?
shew my brain is melting now
As much as you claim to hate this post, you keep hanging around here. Something obviously fascinates you about this spot. So now it's time for you to take your fascination to the next level. Educate yourselves. Your blatant homophobia is no joke.
max, I dated a bi. she talked very similarly to you, had the same issues. it was a long time ago. I like bi's.. in my opinion they have a natural affinity for polyamory/nonmonogamy that straights/gays dont understand.
what I am fascinated with is the game of seeing if you can drop your own hostility which is on full display. megan fox is probably, paradoxically, closer to the goal of increasing tolerance for sexual "fluidity" than you realize.
as for "dominating the discussion", the dominant theme of commenters is that it is you who are harshing on the mellow....
This may not be your cup of tea. But may I recommend another bi celebrity, who may not have the baby doll kind of beauty that Megan does, but she brings so much more to the table? I'm talking about my latest post on Merrill Nisker, aka Peaches.
http://open.salon.com/blog/max_the_communist/2009/07/18/pansexual_saturday_night--with_peaches/comment
Peaches is overtly sexual, plays around with gender a lot, is creative, intelligent, makes fun of herself, rocks out with the kink, pushes the envelope, and brings energy to her transgressiveness. She's collaborated with other artists, like Iggy Pop, Yoko Ono, and Shonda K. I think she's beautiful and hot for the whole package that she brings.
She sleeps with people of every gender and she doesn't dis bi or lesbian women, she supports them.
I just came across this and had to register just to give you a thumbs up
What amuses me is how unaware she is that she's a silly little tool of Hollywood. I posted similar sentiments at http://budurl.com/ertw.
As for how long this thing has been viral, I've lost track. But I hope that you are all taking time to see my other posts and the other great writers here at OS. Much as I've enjoyed writing this one, I really don't think that it is my best work or the best work on Open Salon.
Cheers.
Much like Apollonia, Vanity, and Patra, to name a few, Megan will die a T & A death like the rest of em'. For instance, do you remember Prince's purple fantasy Apollonia or his earlier fixation, Vanity? How bout the 90s dancehall queen Patra? Theyr'e all done. And how long did their fame last? They were ALL done with in months. When Prince got through screwing Vanity and Apollonia, he kicked them off of his purple train. As for the Cleopatra wanna be, Patra, who's motto was "we (women) have to use what we have", ... I guess she doesn't have "it" anymore. As will be the case with Miss Fox. Tool is an understatement, fool is more like it. Great post, by the way.
I'm not hating, I'm just stating.
Here's a link to the news about her pursuit of Rain.
http://www.inquisitr.com/28312/megan-fox-snubbed-by-korean-pop-star-rain/
Yes. Republicans control the media, after all, as anyone with half a brain can figure out.
1. She's young--much too young. Thank God there is no transcript of the silliness that came out of my mouth at her age (...any age?). She has no internal censor--that is about the extent to which she differs from most.
2. She is drop dead beautiful, and though I am not bisexual, I do appreciate a beautiful woman. I think much of the bashing of her emerges out of this point. Despite appearances, its tough to be looked at all the time. (As a side note, it is my belief that intellegent & beautiful women manifest an edginess as a defensive mechanism in response to the constant scrutiny--you get more attention for having beauty, but you also get a lot of baggage dumped on you by men/women projected by and emerging out of their own un-faced issues)
3. I'd like to see this woman get her act together real soon. So, what I mean is that you are right--she's acting like an idiot--but I hope an authentic self emerges sometime real soon. What good comes from it if she implodes altogether?
Can you write a blog about something or someone advancing real evil instead of this?
Instead, she said something that made no sense, but I'm sure all the guy readers were too busy looking at that face and body to care.
I highly doubt anyone of any persuasion, given the chance to sleep with her, would throw this chick out of bed. Maybe after, but not before or during. :)
Truly amusing post. Rated.
one women that I recall in the category was Kelly Lebrock. she had a lot of buzz for her "weird science" movie and then kinda disappeared from sight. but I must say the buzz around her at the time seemed almost indistinguishable from that of julia roberts. who by all measures, surfed the wave successfully.
also, arguably, bo derek-- lots of notoriety for that single movie "10" and nothing else afterwards.
I must say though in contrast to undercover mother, I fully sympathize with the women over this. its a hard game to play, fame through having a great body. it can be done and its done by all the legends, but many have fallen on "the path". it looks like just having a great body will get you that initial flash, but you have to combine it with something else-- eg good acting ability or something else. eg like musical ability eg madonna.
take the entertainment section from a newspaper & use it to wrap xmas ornaments. then rewrap them with the same newspaper year after year. this happened to me somewhat by accident.
its a strange moment to look at the names & faces or the movie titles. much of what seemed significant in the past really melts away to nothing in the future. its a sort of western approach to what the indians call "maya".
"all we are is dust in the wind"
pop culture is intricately tied to the disease of materialism that western civilization is in the deep throes of. also called "affluenza" in a book.
I feel so unclean ... how perverse am I? Where does my own filth end?
wow!! I get it!! megan fox is britney spears 2.0!!
ps speaking of fat white guys, has anyone seen britney spears video "toxic"?? its almost as if the marketers themselves are lampooning themselves. very postmodern. just try to parse the symbolism in that video.
It's not what she says. It is how she looks when she says it.
If I were to pass her on the street, she wouldn't pay any attention to me.
And I wouldn't be trying to look down her dress as she walked by to know her thoughts about current events.
First....she IS hot.
Second...just because someone is famous, that doesn't mean that person is intelligent.
Third....stupid people should not breed.
I finally did some cursory research into the matter. This thing has gone viral for some time, so I Googled "Megan Fox" and got nothing. Googled "I hate Megan Fox" and found a listing for this post on the third page. So I have to think that most people now viewing either hate Megan Fox or wonder why Megan Fox is hated.
I've learned a great lesson from this experience, however. The writing that receives the most attention is not necessarily the best writing here at OS and all the more reason to pay attention to the "little known" writers among the bloggers here.
Incidentally, this week, there was exciting news about Megan Fox. It's much more substantive than the usual promotional crap you get about people releasing movies. In fact, the article doesn't mention a single Megan Fox movie:

Back during the 80s, during the height of the AIDS crisis--anybody remember those days?--gay men were not the only ones under attack. Bisexuals were also cast as being AIDS carriers. Bisexual men were "the ultimate pariahs" for carrying AIDS to straight women from the gay community and bisexual women were blamed for transmitting AIDS to lesbians. One lesbian woman actually told me right to my face that I was "full of diseases" when I came out as bi to her.
But those bad old days are all gone--right? Nothing to worry about? I thought so, too, for a minute. Bi women may be exploited in the media for their sexual titillation to straight guys dreaming of a three-way, but no one thinks about disease or HIV anymore, right?
Well, Rikki and Vikki Ikki have replaced Tila Tequila in MTVs "A Double Shot At Love" as bisexual porn twins dating men and women before they make their final choice at the end of the season. Wanna know something? "Ikki" is their stage name, not their real last name.
So bi women get to be exploited for their titillation factor, but they are still ikki, icky, dirty, diseased. Get it? Now do you make the Megan Fox connection? She's not alone in perpetuating this stereotype, she just gets more press coverage. And it hardly matters if she is truly bi, if she is a self-hating bisexual perpetuating the stereotype in order to garner more media attention to herself.
We should worry about more meaningful things, like healthcare, right? Well, I know that I will be attending the LGBTQI Health Summit here in Chicago, where they will kick off the first day with a Bi Health Summit to distinctly focus on bi health issues, which are grossly underserved. I have no doubt in my mind that healthcare regarding HIV and STD care and prevention will be covered like white on rice.
One more point, if you are a person whose sexuality or gender transgresses societies' norms, then there are people out there who are ready to defend the premise that you are undeserving of healthcare. You see, I remember the 80s. One value to being an old fart is that you've seen the history that can always be repeated.
ok, bet everyone will love this.. you know megan fox has officially hit postmodern status when the onion satirizes her.
Megan Fox Daydreaming About Megan Fox Naked
not like in max's time, 30 years ago, when bi's suffered much more misunderstanding and even persecution.
so yeah, I can see njow why max would feel so insanely jealous, wink :p
As for the homophobes and the biphobes who have come to linger around this blog, for you there's not a problem because you live in your heteroprivilege bubbles. Enjoy the view from there and may life kick your ass somewhere down the road.
"heteroprivilege bubble" heh heh. hilarious. cant wait for GLAAD billboards railing against it. sort of like the way animal rights activists throw paint on anyone who wears fur....
yep, I sure do live on easy street just because Im hetero. maybe its max that lives in the bubble. or is blowing bubbles.
I guess max is a closet cougar who would like to bed megan fox, wink :p
I'm not bisexual, but I was just thinking, if I were... It's so crazy 'cuz I was JUST thinking about the Megan Fox bisexual shananigan and then, BOOM... I read your link. It was like Manna from heaven!
Um... there's one group you left out that she could have sex with.... animals... but then again, don't give her any ideas. I'd hate for innocent, cute animals to be victimized by someone like her!!!
I was on my own 2 weeks after I graduated high school... by my own will.
Speak for yourself.
Yes, Captiana13, someone save the poor animals.
news.. megan fox to be on SNL soon.
I dont know how SNL works exactly but the actor is highly involved in building up the skits as far as I know. so the skits may reflect her own personality/choices/taste. she seems mostly a tabula rasa so far. Ive never read an indepth interview of her, all the interviews seem superficial. of course you could argue thats because she's superficial.
I like it when FACTS trump the blather from parfait minds. Here, at least you have done so.

Michael Bay videotaped Megan Fox washing a car for her Transformers audition?
Wow, I guess Michael Bay really does use his female actors as props.
I gotta admit, she really is starting to remind me of britney.
Way to take her down a peg or so.
Touche. :]

I'd have to ask a similar question about this Megan Fox character. Like nearly all young actresses in this day and age, they have no personality and no soul. And if they are lucky to live long enough to gain either one or both of those qualities, they are "old actresses" and are discarded.
This being the case, of course she came out with such a statement to make her stand out from the other brainless cheerleader types in her profession. It's more confessional in an Oprah/Dr. Phil form, and not as revealing as a Hustler centerfold.
So, Max the Commie, please don't hate her because she's stupid. Every other young actress is just as stupid. You will have a hobby for life hating people like her, but not an enjoyable one.
I watched part of the new M Fox vehicle, "Jennifer's Body". The strangest part was at the beginning when narrator/sidekick Amanda Seyfried explained, so we'd know what the plot point was, that she was Fox's best friend even though she (Seyfried) was unattractive. Didn't seem to be ironic, just a continuation of the neolithic movie viewpoint that girls with glasses aren't sexy. Since Ms Seyfried is absolutely, sublimely gorgeous and has shown considerable acting ability (especially as a conflicted daughter of polygamists in "Big Love"), it didn't augur well for the quality of the rest of the movie (and I wasn't disappointed, as it were). There are definitely some young actresses worth keeping an eye on, and M Fox ain't one of them. Seyfried is.
Harharharhar!!!

"How did Josh handle the hoopla? [of fergie going out bi]
I've been very honest with him from the get-go. I think women are beautiful, I've had a lot of fun with women, and I'm not ashamed of it. The problem is that I also love a well-endowed man. But just because I enjoy women doesn't mean I'm allowed to have affairs in my relationship. I learned through talking with my therapist that it is still cheating even if it's with girls, so there is a rule there."

I have never understood the appeal of this brunette barbie doll, nor Hollywood's repeated flogging of the American male (and lesbian and dirty men-loving bi-sexual female) with the image of the ideal sexy woman being anorexic, rib bone protruding, 10-year old korena boy ass, non-curvy, thin waif-like stick doll!
In real life, men love curves and soft parts on women. Yet the media continues to sell this ridiculous image of the waif! And people are buying it! I just don't get it. Give me Scarlet Johansson over Megan Fox. Give me Oprah Winfrey over Halle Berry (that's right, I said it!). Give me Selma Hayek over Penolpe Cruz!
In short, I think lots of actresses say they're bi to get guys going. Didn't Fergie say something similar despite being married to a man? Anyway, stay cool my friend.
