Megan Fox Is Confused

There's been way too much Megan Fox in the news lately, and I don't even know what she's promoting. Just yesterday, a "hilarious" blooper reel was released of Leslie Mann groping Fox's boobs from the movie This is 40. Why this is so funny I don't know, but apparently it is. Perhaps this video was leaked out into the netherworld as some sort of red herring to distract from her recent interview and cover shoot for Esquire magazine.

The article has been called by some as "the worst interview of all time." I can't say that I haven't read worse but there is something particularly bad about it and it makes her come off as looking like a moron, which wouldn't be the first time this has happened. In the article Fox talks about some strange things. She mentions leprechauns, the Mayans and speaking in tongues, but none of this is as odd to me as when she says that she no longer wants to be seen as a sex symbol - while posing in her underwear.

According to the article Fox is quoted saying:

"I don't think people understand," she says. "They all think we should shut the fuck up and stop complaining because you live in a big house or you drive a Bentley. So your life must be so great. What people don't realize is that fame, whatever your worst experience in high school, when you were being bullied by those ten kids in high school, fame is that, but on a global scale, where you're being bullied by millions of people constantly."

We understand, it's hard for you.

She goes on to say that she decided that being the sex symbol deems her powerless, where as being, I guess, a real actress gives her power. This is after being quoted back in 2008 with saying that who has the vagina has all the power. Don't you have the... never mind.
