FAB.U.LOUS Desperate Housewives Shoot

In addition to loving this show like we love Vogue, we also wait on tenterhooks for cast pictures of the DHW girls. And, having just seen these (we know, we're slightly behind...), we just had to post them up.

Only one word is necessary: FAB.U.LOUS

p.s. BTW, apparently all the pictures contain clues to certain events/ storylines for this season. You know what to do, enlarge and start looking...

Laura White - X Factor 2008 Alumni - Brand New Video: You Should Have Known

Laura White - X Factor 2008 Alumni - Brand New Video: You Should Have Known





OK, first things first. Laura White (the Amy Winehouse of last year's X Factor) is releasing a debut album 9th November, and this is her debut single. We can't lie and say she don't look good, because, having come back two stone lighter, she does. That and we all know she can sang her arse off. That isn't where the problems lie.

For us, the major problem is the sheer 'heard-it-all-before' factor to the song, the admittedly substandard-and-not-shot-that-great video and the fact that she's coming out just a week before our girl Leona, who's coming with a better voice, and a much better song; the genius 'Happy'.

Laura, love, in the quickly growing and expanding UK music industry (with the likes of Roc Nation signees, the Sugababes, our man Tinchy, Ndubz, Dizzee Rascal, to name but a few) you need to come a lot harder than this. We need to be either in love with, about to love (you know them songs that grow on you), or at least feeling the tunes you're coming with. And, with the game crowded as it is, and your admittedly not great song, there's just too much noise for you to be heard above the music.

Still, with the Two Single Rule (The Two Single Rule: when an artist has either: 1: a hit followed by one crap flop of a song, they can then have another crap song but then they must have a hit, or it's curtains for their career - see Bobby Valentino. Or 2: they can have a crap debut, followed by a smash hit of a follow-up. Either one), you still have a shot. In the dark with a blindfold on, but still a shot.

VAMPIRE DIARIES: Two Sneak Previews Of Next Week's Episode - Family Ties

VAMPIRE DIARIES: Two Sneak Previews Of Next Week's Episode - Family Ties

TVD is another of our new favourites shows, and, needless to say, we're as impatient for next week's episode - Family Ties- as we are for the new Jimmy Choo For H&M line to hit stores. So, when we saw these we knew we just had to put them up...

The first preview shows how a wedge is forming between Stefan and Elena thanks to (naturally) Damon's handiwork (although Stefan's refusal to discuss past love Katherine may also have something to do with it...). In the second one, Stefan and Damon have a drink (we know; Vampires can drink human beverages? Who knew...) and talk about Katherine and their past...

Enjoy...

GOSSIP GIRL :Two Sneak Previews Of Next Week's Episodes - Dan De Fleurette

GOSSIP GIRL :Two Sneak Previews Of Next Week's Episodes - Dan De Fleurette

Below are two sneak previews of next week's GG episode, Dan De Fleurette. And, by the looks of it, it's going to be one of those classic GG's where we're loving every second of it.

The first one shows a scheming (and now-dethroned) Queen J and Mr Waldorf himself, Chuck. They discuss how to get the former her crown back. We just love these C&J scenes; so much scheming - archetypal Gossip Girl. The second is our first look at Tyra Banks in her role as Ursula, a famous actress, who soon becomes friends with Serena; though evidently not in this scene...

Chris Brown's Comeback Song - I Can Transform Ya FT Lil Wayne

Chris Brown's Comeback Song - I Can Transform Ya FT Lil Wayne





After certain *cough* events earlier this year, we've always said that if Chris Breezy wants to comeback badder (or at least as bad as) ever, he'll need one Hell of a comeback single. We're talking We Belong Together magnitude here. He'll need to come harder than he's ever come before, dance harder than he's ever danced before, and sing better than he ever has before.

Now, all that said, we got this in our inbox about an hour ago, and have heard it a few times. It's the kinda song you really 'get' after a few listens, but, after that the 'I can transform ya' becomes crazy infectious. The beat is a bit weird but in a good way. If you get our drift.

Is he coming quite hard enough, though? That remains to be seen. That and whether people have really forgiven him for those events we mentioned earlier.

No VERDICT cause we haven't made our minds up, yet...

VERDICT: Cheryl Cole's Brand New Loreal Ad

We love this Cheryl (smily, gorgeous, Cheryl) ah-lot more than 'solo-singer' (and we use that term very loosely)Cheryl.

Her hair looks glossy, her smile v. endearing and her face (thank God) not too photoshopped. We'd definitely want to Loreal after seeing this.

C.C, this is what you should stick to. Not 'singing'. In a group, you just manage to get away with having a substandard voice; but definitely not on a solo single. Please just stick with our man Simon Cowell; he'll lead you down the right path...

HIT OR MISS: Britney's New Single - 3





It's not exactly a secret that we love the Princess, but, even if this song were sung by someone else, we would still love it just as much.

The chorus is catchy as Hell ('1,2,3...'), the lyrics are up to the standard of fabulousity we've come to expect from legendary songwriter Max Martin, and, as usual, Britney adds an energy and infectious quality to an already good beat...

Just how do you manage to never disappoint us music-wise, Brit?

We love.

Ah lot.

No doubt you're all as excited for tonight's installment of GG as we are. But, just to whet your appetite even more, we've posted below two Canadian promos of The Lost Boy (shout out to gossipgirlinsider.com for the vids).

The first features Chair attempting to outbid each other for that photo we told you about, and also shows a clip of Scott revealing his identity to someone (Vanessa?). Second one shows the love scene between Chuck and Blair that didn't go quite according to the former Queen B's plans (Oh, how wrong it feels to say 'former' in reference to B's high social status. Sigh... Amend, people, amend. Our girl is a Queen. Always has been, always should be...)

Alicia Keys Accused Of Adultery By Swizz Beat's Wife

Alicia Keys Accused Of Adultery By Swizz Beat's Wife

Damn, AK. If this is true, it just ain't cool.

Mashonda has accused hubby and famous producer Swizz Beatz of cheating on her with songstress Alicia Keys. In response to AK's tweet yesterday:

'Having a heated debate n the studio. Question is...N love is it better to go 4 the choice that is "SMART" or the choice that has "SPARK"??'

the songwriter quickly responded via twitter (oh, for the days when you could do your business in private - now thanks to twitter everyone knowing your business. Yes, we love it.), accusing Ms Keys of beng having a less than ideal attitude about the entire affair, and claims she plans to retweet it every day until Alicia responds...

Read for yourselves...

'After having a great evening with my son and enjoying some fun twit chat, I decided to sign off and get some work done. However, a few hours later I was advised that I should check @aliciakeys twit page (twitter). I've never reached out to her on twitter before. I feel our issues are a lot more serious than a website conversation. Not to mention that I've reached out to her many times in the beginning of this whole thing, as any wife would do. Unfortunately, I never succeeded in getting a response. The 1st time I meet AK, my husband introduced us to each other at an event. ( I have no choice but to call him my husband, until he is not anymore) In the messages that I sent to her (AK), I made it very clear that on the contrary of what she might be hearing, I am still married to my husband, living with him and just had a child. Its been two years and I still have not received a response. What I do receive, is constant displays of selfishness and disconcern to me and my son.

I was a fan of AK's last album, we were both signed to J Records and I always checked up on her projects. I sang her songs and admired her for creating Superwoman and Karma, I would never deny her, her talent. I believed in her until I found out she was possibly sleeping with my husband. The affair was denied by both, until it was finally admitted months later.Already I can hear some of you saying " why are u blaming her, You cant make someone leave their wife, You cant break something thats broken". Well, my marriage was not broken, as far as I knew we were celebrating our sons birth and getting ready to celebrate our 5 year wedding anniversary . Call it blind love, whatever. I call it being a devoted wife.. As far as me blaming her and not blaming him, thats false. Me and my husband have worked out our differences. We are in a good place as people and as parents. I accept his choices and I am comfortable enough with myself to move on. I am so very blessed in many ways.

My concern with AK is no longer the fact that she assisted in destroying a family but that she has the audacity to make these selfish comments about love and wanting to be with someone, even after knowing their situation. How is this the same Superwoman that I sang out loud with in my truck? I ask myself sometimes.If you are reading this Alicia, let me start by saying, you know what you did. You know the role you played and you know how you contributed to the ending of my marriage. You know that I asked you to step back and let me handle my family issues. Issues that you helped to create. Im not saying everything was perfect all the time but no relationship is perfect. We made a vow to God and I believe you should have respected that, as a woman. I know you owe me or my son nothing but I just wish you would've handled things more carefully. I'm not judging you, I put you and the whole situation in the hands of God, the Higher Power. Just know that as a woman, I expected so much more from you. I never had intentions on reaching out to you this way but after reading your twits tonight, and the constant disregard, you left me no choice.

I feel that after 1 and a half years of you hiding this affair and acting like it doesnt exist, that now is the time to confront it, since you talk so openly about it nowThis is not a publicity stunt, I dont have a record coming out. I just need to close this chapter in my life and that means confronting our issues. There is a small child involved. His dad loves him to death and he wants to spend more time with him but hes afraid because he knows we don't have a relationship. This is my main concern. My son NEEDS his dad and I NEED to be comfortable with you. For him!I know many will see my point and many will not be able to look into what's real because they only want to see Alicia Keys the celebrity, not the human. This is not for the "people", this is for you. Like I said I was left no choice but to reach out to you this way. By now, Im sure you want to find a balance in this as well.

I read your tweets tonight and I felt they were very insensitive. You have no idea how much pain I was caused because of this affair. Its baffling to me that you don't understand what I might have gone through with this situation. I dont consider myself a victim anymore, Ive learned alot from this! I just ask you to try and be a bit more realistic and delicate to the situation, at least until my divorce is final. I felt me attending the party would have been a starting point for us, since you shook my hand after I offered it, but I suppose I was wrong.If its so, that you and my husband are meant to be together, then God bless you both and I hope you never have to deal with what I did. I would not wish it on my worst enemy. If you two being together forever is the case, its more of a reason for us to get along, because I'm not going anywhere. Theres a child to be raised.To answer your tweet, choose smart over spark. Sparks burn everyone, be smart! Its simple actually, just think of the shoe being on the other foot.

Stay blessed and lets work this thing out with respect and dignity.

Wow, AK. That just ain't cool. Talk aboout hypocritical songwriting: 'Karma', 'Superwoman'. We're supposed to build each other up, not tear each other down. Getting on with a married man when you were reportedly still with Krucial? Even less cool.

And, with a new record coming out v. soon (The Element Of Freedom out December 1st), can you afford the bad publicity? You know folks will be picking teams, and, we love your music, but we're on Team Shonda.

Friends: The Movie Confirmed

Friends: The Movie Confirmed


Almost six years since the last episode of Friends aired, a movie has been confirmed earlier today. With Warner Brothers agreeing to fork out a fortune to guarantee Jennifer Aniston, 40, Courteney Cox, 45, Lisa Kudrow, 46, Matt LeBlanc, 42, Matthew Perry, 40, and David Schwimmer, 42, all return and the shows creators David Crane and Marta Kauffman set to write and produce the film (set to be released summer of '11); millions of fans will rejoice at the long-awaited news.

We, naturally being huge fans of the show, are ecstatic at the news - since the last episode aired, we've had to put up with re-runs on E4, but no longer! Now all we have to wait for are the inevitable leaks of just what it'll be about. Hopefully the film will answer a few of the questions we've all been asking since the end:

'How are Monica and Chandler's twins doing?'

'Just what has Joey been up to all this time?'

And...

'Have Rachel and Ross lasted this time?'

Sigh...

Happy days...

Sugababes 4.0 New Version Of About A Girl





As you can hear, above is the new version of About A Girl, which has just been released. Do we like it as much as the original with Keisha? No. The original had more edge because of the founding member. That's straight up how it is. Below is the version with Keisha and we honestly think it was better with the former Babe on it; but that could just be our opinion. This song will make or break them, depending on how people react to Keisha's departure.

The Beautiful Life D.O.A

The Beautiful Life D.O.A





Due to it's shitty ratings, we really don't think this'll come as a surprise to anyone, but still. Yes, The Beautiful Life has been cancelled after just two episodes, with production on the show being suddenly ceased just yesterday.

Sad? Yes, because we always thought it's a 'slow-burner' - you know, the kind where at first noone really gets it and the sick storylines don't start until episode 5, at least. Considering the fact that the CW have ordered more episodes of the crappy-at-best Melrose Place, we'd also have thought they'd have given TBL chance.

But there you go.

And, not to point fingers, but could this maybe have something to do with Mischa Barton's less than glowing reputation right now? Her character's life story seems to be just as troubled as the actress'... Is there something you want to tell us, Mischa?

Anyway, we'd still take Mischa's acting over Ashlee's any day. We think.

The Imaginarium Of Doctor Parnassus Poster Just Released

The Imaginarium Of Doctor Parnassus Poster Just Released

As we all know, The Imaginarium Of Doctor Parnassus was the last movie Heath Ledger shot before his tragic death early last year. He didn't even get to finish shooting it; leaving the producers to enlist Johnny Depp, Colin Farell, and Jude Law to act as the other three alter-egos of the role.

This is exactly the kind of poster we expected for TIODP; and we love the whole dark blue theme it's got going on, along with Mr Ledger himself peeping out from the top left-hand corner.

We all miss him like fat kids miss Mc D's on a diet.

Drew Barrymore's InStyle Cover

Drew Barrymore's InStyle Cover

There's just something so likeable about Drew Barrymore that certain other actresses lack (*cough* Megan Fox *cough*). Here she is looking vibrant and gorgeous in Valentino on the front cover of October's InStyle. Some highlights are...

On not making enemies: “I don’t like alienating people. I’m like a big freaking welcome mat!”
On her selective memory: “I’m such a good secret keeper that I’ll deliberately forget things so I don’t have the urge to tell them.”

On her relationship with her parents: “I am OK with my dad, but my mom and I have yet to work it all out. I don’t talk about it because… how do you talk about something you’re confused about?”

On fame and how it’s affected her: I love my life, I really do. But there are moments I battle with it. Some days I want nothing more than a brilliant mask so I could look like someone else and go wander the streets and be free. I’m very peeved that Halloween only comes once a year.”

On why many of the films she has produced have themes of girl power and collaboration: “I like teams—I like buddies.” I don’t understand women who are competitive, apart from positive forums like athletics. One person is a powerful thing, but a tribe is unstoppable.”

On breaking barriers on the red carpet: “Do you know what I would love? To die on the red carpet. [Laughs] No—I love to succeed on it, but I don’t want to do it conventionally. What I don’t understand is, why is there a barrier between the runway and the red carpet? At fashion shows, the boundaries are gone. But on the red carpet, there’s this line. And I want to walk past that line.”

Love, Love, Love her. Keep doing your thing, Ms Barrymore.

Iron Man 2 ET Exclusive

Iron Man 2 ET Exclusive






It should be common knowledge by now that Entertainment Tonight last night featured exclusive look at Iron Man 2 (which we personally can't wait for... the first one was sick). It shows Mickey Rouke as Whiplash and RDJ as Tony Stark during the Monaco Racetrack Scene (which, to be truthful, have already been kinda shown in those teaser pictures), but, this time, you do get to see some of that much-desired action - cars flipping over and exploding, and Whiplash doing some cool ish with his whip.

We also get a look at some interaction between Tony and Pepper Potts (AKA Gwyneth Paltrow), as well as the first footage of ScarJo as Black Widow/ Natasha -Tony's new assistant (loving the red hair, Scarlett). It also has a few interviews with RDJ, Paltrow and Johanssen.

Sigh...

Very nice, ladies... Love the net curtains.

And we'll bet you that, at some point in an interview, they'll say 'This album's a bit more personal' or, our personal favourite, 'It gives people a chance to get to know the real us'...

Getting A Little Tired Of BEP's Reign At No.1

Isn't anyone else just a little bit bored of BEP being at #1 on BB100? It's been 25 weeks now (yes, we've been counting), and although it's technically been six months (you know, that whole 4 weeks = a month thing), next week it'll officially be half a year that they've been at the top spot on the chart - 26 weeks, consecutively.

Isn't it a bit much? By now, shouldn't everyone who was gonna buy I Gotta Feeling (which has now been at #1 for 13 weeks; even longer than the superior Boom Boom Pow) have bought it by now? Who the Hell is still purchasing the track?

bored as Hell about it. Right about now, we just don't give a flying rat's arse who takes the top spot, as long as they're not there next week, 'cause, as much as we love Fergie and co., there's only so much we can take. We mean, come on, just how long is this gonna go on for? Till christmas?

Our Bad. It's Keisha That's Leaving The Sugababes

Our Bad. It's Keisha That's Leaving The Sugababes

Contrary to what we reported just last week, it's not Amelle that's leaving the Sugababes, it's founding member Keisha. They just put this up on their website...



The current line-up of the Sugababes has disbanded.
Heidi Range and Amelle Berrabah will continue as the Sugababes and will be joined by new member Jade Ewen. They release their album ‘Sweet 7’ on November 23rd through Island Records.
Keisha Buchanan will continue to record for Island Records as a solo artist.

Keisha then followed this up by posting this up on her twitter...

Dear Friends I'm sad to say that I am no longer apart of the Sugababes.

I've had a great time and have achieved more then I ever thought I would. Although it was not my choice to leave, it's time to enter a new chapter in my life. I have nothing but positive things to say about the girls and I wish them the best of luck. I would like to state that there were no arguments, bullying or anything of the sort that lead to this.

Sometimes a break down in communication and lack of trust can result in many different things. I would also like to point out that I have always supported the girls and they have also supported me. Remember my drunk pictures out with Amelle, supporting her on her success with Tinchy Stryder… Oh the shame… But what a fun night we had. Now I'm going to take some time to focus on me. I've been in this band for 11 years and I have achieved so much. I have a great family and friends who are behind me 100% and at the age of 24, I'm now going out into this world on my own…

Although im nervous… I'm still very excited on what lies ahead. I want to thank the Sugababes fans and my fans for all your support and all who have never judged me, but excepted me for who I am… The feisty, funny, professional, fearless, motor mouth… lol

This is not the end… but the beginning!!!!

Thank you always… Keisha xxx

Like, skeen. Where to go to from here? We were right about Jade Ewen joining the Babes, but, when you think about it, now all three founding members have left. It's like an all new group under the same name...

And how's this going to affect their new album Sweet 7? Keisha sings a hella lot of the adlibs etc; they're gonna have to re-record. And what about the video for About A Girl that they just shot in L.A?

We think you see our point now. Much as we love Cheryl like we love us 75% off at Topshop, she's just not serving it on a Solo-Star level. They've used so much Auto-tune and synthesizers, it's ridiculous. She has flair, but barely dances.

It's just not cool.

Cheryl, sweetie, either go back to Girls Aloud or follow Simon into presenting, because this just isn't going to happen. The song will do well 'cause of the X Factor, but, as soon as that's over, your star will fade faster than Old Street Market jeans.

Amelle Quits Sugababes...

Amelle Quits Sugababes


News just in: Amelle has quit British girlband, Sugababes.

MTV has announced a few minutes ago that Amelle has reportedly quit the band. However, the drama doesn't end there. Jade Ewen, who is set to release her debut single My Man on Monday, is rumoured to take her place.

Very suspiciously, Jade's record label, Geffen Records, has just released a statement saying : "Due to unforeseen circumstances beyond our control, we regret to inform you that Jade Ewen will be taking time off from all promotional activity for the foreseeable future.". Even more suspicious is the band's label's refusal to comment.

Our suspicions were first raised a couple of weeks ago, when we heard on Capital FM that Amelle had gone 'missing' for a week - only to be found later by police in her house. And we were thinking, 'when band members start not showing up for events, it means they're quitting'.

Spice Girls - Geri

Destiny's Child - Farrah

Oasis - Noel

You know it's true.

And, what's up with this Jade rumour? While we love us some her, she's a definite solo artist - not a bandmember. What are her label thinking? Just what the Hell is going on?

Island needs to be letting us know the deal...

Everybody's Fine Trailer

Everybody's Fine Trailer

@ Yahoo! Video

Robert De Niro plays a widower who's fallen out of touch with his grown children in Everybody's Fine. After his kids -- Kate Beckinsale, Drew Barrymore, and Sam Rockwell -- all cancel for Christmas, he takes matters into his own hands and visits them to find out what's gone wrong.

This seems like your typical family-orientated, feel-good movie. The kind that comes out a couple of weeks before Xmas. Kinda like Little Miss Sunshine except without that annoying little girl.

Would we go see it in the cinema? Maybe. If someone else pays. If not, then there's always Sky Movies Premiere...

From Paris With Love New Trailer

From Paris With Love New Trailer...









We're still a bit unsure about this movie...


This trailer has a lot more action than the first, a lot more of the back story is included and we get more of an idea of the characters (and we get to see more light shine off Travolta's head). So, all in all, what we want from a second trailer...


Hmm... while Travolta's and Meyer's acting is as 'on point' as usual, is the movie going to be that good? Maybe. We're not sure. Still, we have this feeling it's going to be critically acclaimed. Maybe a $200 mill at the box office, tops?

Megan Fox's Rolling Stone Magazine Cover

Megan Fox's Rolling Stone Magazine Cover

Seems like the Transformers leading lady finally has her own Rolling Stones cover. As we all know, one has to have one to be crowned one of the Hollywood A List. No doubt, as we've all discovered, girl don't pull no punches (although she may get hit right back - see the Transformers' cast's letter about her...), and with the title of 'America's Sexiest Bad Girl', it's got us all wondering just what she's said this time...

Naturally, more photos of Ms Fox will feature in the October 1st issue. You're welcome, boys. Don't say we never do anything for you...

Kanye's Naaasty Outburst At VMAs

Kanye's Naaasty Outburst At VMAs

We're sure that, after that EMAs debacle a couple of years ago, we've all had more than enough of Mr. Ye's dramatic outbursts over awards and who wins them. This time round, however, he wasn't pissed over missing out on one himself, but rather at Queen B's losing Best Female Video to Taylor Swift.

While it is understandable that he may have been less than happy about it, there was absolutely no reason to or excuse for jumping up on stage like the drunken idiot he was and screeching “Yo Taylor. I’m really happy for you. I’m gonna let you finish but Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time. One of the best videos of all time!”

Uh, no, 'Ye. That's not how we 'Run This Town'.

Needless to say, both the Queen and Ms Taylor were understandably shocked, and the latter clearly upset, at his unwarranted, classless outburst. Who asked him, anyway (is what we're sure they were thinking)? Does he really think he's doing himself any favours?

Sigh...

Honestly, 'Ye. We'd have thought you'd have learned your lesson last time. Next time, don't bring Henessey with you on the red carpet. In fact, don't drink at all prior to award shows. Because clearly while Under The Influence you are unable to behave in a mannerly fashion.

Open Letter From Transformers Cast Members Trashing Megan Fox

Open Letter From Transformers Cast Members Trashing Megan Fox

OMFG!

In response to a certain Ms Fox's comments about Transformers director Michael Bay last week (in which she compares him to Hitler), Nelson, the administrator for Bay's official website a letter from unnamed cast members...

Read below... all we can say is ... COLD!!!

“This is an open letter to all Michael Bay fans. We are three crew members that have worked with Michael for the past ten years. Last week we read the terrible article with inflammatory, truly trashing quotes by the Ms. Fox about Michael Bay. This letter is to set a few things straight.
“Yes, Megan has great eyes, a tight stomach we spray with glycerin, and an awful silly Marilyn Monroe tattoo plastered on her arm that we cover up to keep the moms happy.
“Michael found this shy, inexperienced girl, plucked her out of total obscurity thus giving her the biggest shot of any young actresses’ life. He told everyone around to just trust him on his choice. He granted her the starring role in Transformers, a franchise that forever changed her life; she became one of the most googled and oogled women on earth. She was famous! She was the next Angelina Jolie, hooray! Wait a minute, two of us worked with Angelina ‘ second thought ‘ she’s no Angelina. You see, Angelina is a professional.
“We know this quite intimately because we’ve had the tedious experience of working with the dumb-as-a-rock Megan Fox on both Transformers movies. We’ve spent a total of 12 months on set making these two movies.
“We are in different departments; we can’t give our names because sadly doing so in Hollywood could lead to being banished from future Paramount work. One of us touches Megan’s panties, the other has the often s–ty job of pulling Ms. Sour pants out of her trailer, while another is near the Panaflex camera that helps to memorialize the valley girl on film.
“Megan has the press fooled. When we read those magazines we wish we worked with that woman. Megan knows how to work her smile for the press. Those writers should try being on set for two movies, sadly she never smiles. The cast, crew and director make Transformers a really fun and energetic set. We’ve traveled around the world together, so we have never understood why Megan was always such ‘ the grump of the set?
“When facing the press, Megan is the queen of talking trailer trash and posing like a porn star. And yes we’ve had the unbearable time of watching her try to act on set, and yes, it’s very cringe-able. So maybe, being a porn star in the future might be a good career option. But make-up beware, she has a paragraph tattooed to her backside (probably due her rotten childhood) easily another 45 minutes in the chair!
“So when the three of us caught wind of Ms. Fox, pontificating yet again in some publication (like she actually has something interesting to say) blabbing her trash mouth about a director whom we three have grown to really like. She compared working with Michael, to ‘working with Hitler‘. We actually don’t think she knows who Hitler is by the way. But we wondered how she doesn’t realize what a disgusting, fully uneducated comment this was? Well, here let’s get some facts straight.
“Say what you want about Michael ‘ yes at times he can be hard, but he’s also fun, and he challenges everyone for a reason ‘ he simply wants people to bring their ‘A’ game. He comes very prepared, knows exactly what he wants, involves the crew and expects everyone to follow through with his or her best, and that includes the actors. He’s one of the hardest working directors out there.
“He gets the best from his crews, many of whom have worked with him for 15 years. And yes, he’s loyal, one of the few directors we’ve encountered who lowered his fee by millions to keep Transformers in the United States and California, so he could work with his own crew.
“Megan says that Transformers was an unsafe set? Come on Megan, we know it is a bit more strenuous then the playground at the trailer park, but you don’t insult one of the very best stunt and physical effects teams in the business! Not one person got hurt!
“And who is the real Megan Fox? She is very different than the academy nominee and winning actors we’ve all worked around. She’s as about ungracious a person as you can ever fathom. She shows little interest in the crew members around her. We work to make her look good in every way, but she’s absolutely never appreciative of anyone’s hard work. Never a thank you. All the crewmembers have stopped saying hi to Ms. Princess because she never says hello back. It gets tiring. Many think she just really hates the process of being an actress.
“Megan has been late to the sets many times. She goes through the motions that make her exude this sense of misery. We’ve heard the A.D’s piped over the radio that Megan won’t walk from her trailer until John Turturro walks first! John’s done seventy-five movies and she’s made two!
“Never expect Megan to attend any of the 15 or so crew parties like all the other actors have. And then there’s the classless night she blew off The Royal Prince of Jordan who made a special dinner for all the actors. She doesn’t know that one of the grips daughters wanted to visit their daddy’s work to meet Megan, but he wouldn’t let them come because he told them ’she is not nice.’
“The press certainly doesn’t know her most famous line. On our first day in Egypt, the Egyptian government wouldn’t let us shoot because of a permit problem as the actors got ready in make up at the Four Seasons Hotel. Michael tried to make the best of it; he wanted to take the cast and crew on a private tour of the famous Giza pyramids. God hold us witness, Megan said, “I can’t believe Michael is f—ing forcing us to go to the f—ing pyramids!” I guess this is the ‘Hitler guy’ she is referring to.
So this is the Megan Fox you don’t get to see. Maybe she will learn, but we figure if she can sling insults, then she can take them too. Megan really is a thankless, classless, graceless, and shall we say unfriendly b—-. It’s sad how fame can twist people, and even sadder that young girls look up to her. If only they knew who they’re really looking up to.”
“But ‘Fame’ is fleeting. We, being behind the scenes, seen em’ come and go. Hopefully Michael will have Megatron squish her character in the first ten minutes of Transformers 3. We can tell you that will make the crew happy! -Loyal Transformers Crew”

Well, well, well... If we were Ms Fox and we wanted to be well recieved on the Transformers 3 set we would be doing some damage control hella quick...
