Let's be frank. I'm not sure if Megan Fox, the sultry starlet of "Transformers" fame, actually knows all that much about Hitler, other than the fact that he had a mustache, makes a brief appearance for some reason in Quentin Tarantino's "Inglourious Basterds" and -- if you believe various right-wing nut-jobs -- seems to have promoted a healthcare plan back in the 1930s that was a lot like the one the Democrats are trying to ram through Congress this year. (OK, I'm not actually sure Fox knows that last part at all.)
But having been on a few movie sets in recent years, Fox sure knows a Type A dictatorial personality type when she sees one, which must be why in this new interview with Wonderland magazine, she decided to compare "Transformers" director Michael Bay to the notoriously madcap leader of the Third Reich. (The interview with Fox was actually designed to promote her upcoming fall release, "Jennifer's Body," but why talk about yet another bloody horror-comedy thriller when you can wax eloquent about Michael Bay.)
At any rate, as Fox puts it: "[Michael] wants to create this insane, infamous mad-man reputation. He wants to be like Hitler on his sets, and he is. So he's a nightmare to work for but when you get him away from set, and he's not in director mode, I kind of really enjoy his personality because he's so awkward, so hopelessly awkward. He has no social skills at all. It's endearing to watch him. He's so vulnerable and fragile in real life and then on set, he's a tyrant."
Hmmmm: hopelessly awkward, vulnerable, no social skills and a nightmare to work for. Actually, what boy wonder filmmaker from the past 40 years does that description not apply to?

And Megan Faux wants to create this crazy, I dont have to use SAT words, fart talking, bad-ass image that she tries to project, but she's lying right through her veneers, because we all know she tries hard to be the next you know who, but it ain't workin' for her.

Psst Nongelina, never ever ever ever bad talk a director. Starlets are a dime a dozen in this town. You will be Megan who in a year or two.

Megan Fox really, really, REALLY needs to stop giving interviews. She's an attractive woman, but less so with her foot constantly lodged in her mouth.

I agree with Megan Fox and I think you're too tough on her. Usually guys think beautiful woman don't have brain. Well, you're wrong! Megan is beautiful, smart, and she's right! You know, she works out hard to look like that and sport also helps the brain. I have read on http://www.projectweightloss.com about Megan’s lifestyle. When she decides to workout, she does a flawless job. She spends thirty minutes with cardio.

Gorgeous bimbos like Fox can safely say things that would be deemed "socially awkward" if said by anybody else. Like her comments about Michael Bay, for example.

Does Miss Fox ever have anything nice to say about anybody?
Besides herself, of course.

Funny to have a paper full of Left Wing Marxists who look at working people as serfs to be guided by their infinite knowledge have the balls to label anyone "right wing nutjob". Oh by the way how is your circulation? See you in Bankruptcy court.
