Megan Fox’s PSA and Diablo Cody in Bust

Okay, I know there are a lot of you that hate Megan Fox. That was evident from the comments on this post. A lot of valid points, I might add, even though I still like that quote itself. I really did reconsider my initial opinion that Fox was just fighting back the disgustingly rampant objectification of her in the media. I think she may attempt to capitalize on her sex appeal while at the same time rejecting it. I also think she may not have a freaking clue about what she’s saying and just talks, like most celebrities do.

Either way, I don’t actually care that much about Megan Fox. She will probably be irrelevant in a few years no matter what.

What I do want to talk about is this new “PSA” for Jennifer’s Body.

Warning: Vulgar Language (!!OHNO!!!) in vid.


Who thinks that Megan Fox, with her face and body so vastly accepted as beautiful, doesn’t actually know shit about being different? I do! I do!

But, meh, this “PSA” is still pretty clever, and after reading Diablo Cody’s interview in Bust Magazine this month, I’m really intrigued by Jennifer’s Body. There seem to be some clear pros and cons about this female-centric horror flick.

Jennifer’s Body


So the trailer for Diablo Cody’s new movie about a possessed cheerleader who seduces her male classmates then kills them was just released. 

Bad news: I can’t embed the video from youtube. so you can’t be ultra lazy. awww.

Good news: click here to watch it on youtube, where it hasn’t been removed yet (yayyy)

LOOKS. SO. GOOD. *excited fit of giggles at the thought of diablo’s sense of humor revived and applied to a horror movie genre ensues* Especially since horror movies are so often disgustingly sexist- it’s nice Diablo’s turning it on its head. I like.

Megan Fox is cool

Megan Fox

“If your idea of a role model is somebody who’s gonna preach to your kids that sex before marriage is wrong and cursing is wrong and women should be this and be that, then I’m not a role model. But if you want your girls to feel strong and intelligent and be outspoken and fight for what they think is right, then I want to be that type of role model, yeah.” -Megan Fox told the Times of London — via Perez Hilton


As awesome as it is that she said that, if she had added something about how that is a feminist statement, it would have cemented my undying love for her. Alas…at least we got that, right?
