Hollywood producer #1: "If only there was some way to promote our movie, which features Megan Fox playing a cheerleader." Hollywood producer #2: [sniffing coke] "Hang on a minute... I've got an idea..."
Can't say she's entered my orbit at all, in movies or print.
All I know is if you're being promoted in a bikini/cheerleader outfit/Daisy Dukes as opposed to the roles you take then I'm supposed to view & value you as a sex object.
And maybe I'm jaded by years of internet pornography and putting it about in my heyday, but she does nothing for me and is identical to a million other starlets all pouting and almost showing tits.
Take a role that doesn't rely on/exploit you having breasts and long legs and I'll stop objectifying you as a fuck-toy.
And not a particularly special one at that.
In all seriousness, I think she gets a lot of shit because of her looks and the way she's sold. Every single film she's been in, she's been cast as the hot slut, basically.
She's not been required to do any acting really, and the promo of lads mags doesn't help her image. She's a target of hate for most every group other than pre-pubescent males and people think it's okay to take pot shots at her because she's hot and in all probability rich. Which is fair enough.
When you see interviews with her, though, she comes across as carrying at least a modicum of intelligence - certainly more than comes across in print. She knows exactly what she says and I think plays dumb more than is necessary. But she's displayed a fairly savvy knowledge of the industry and what she needs to do to stay in the spotlight.
Unfortunately, until she starts making good movies - Jennifer's Body aside, as I haven't seen it yet - most of the criticism is justified.
Go down any nightclub and you'll find stick-thin orange women like Fox, ten a penny.
Don't know her, never met her, haven't seen anything she's been in. Can't say I want to fuck her and certainly have no intention of handing over money to watch a film just because she shows a bit of midriff or ass-cheek.
But this does highlight what I was saying in the "Indie film" article - Diablo Cody has gone from writing Juno to writing a film that is being promoted by this month's fuckdoll.
*shrugs*
Apparently she's a horrible person, as the crew of transformers wrote to testify (google it, fantastic read) and she should be aware that she won't be "hot" forever and Hollywood will soon move on.
I see a bright future in "leaked" sextapes and drug hell to bolster her career in 10yrs time.
Here's the letter that 3 crew wrote and Bay posted on his own website,funny as hell:

I'm with the Megan-haters on this one. Regardless of the fact that she comes across as a complete bitch in interviews, she just looks too waxwork for me.
Fair enough, I get that she's 'attractive' and I probably wouldn't say no if she begged me for it, but I bet she has peeled herself off of every casting couch in Hollywood at some point or other and that just doesn't do it for me.
I agree; too perfect looking and far too much like a jordan-clone. On that fact alone she'll always look like a tramp that should be gnoshing off squaddies in a pub car park after hours, rather than the A-list totty de jour.
Quite the opposite, Heathrow.
There's nothing interesting about her, she's uniformly dull, rumoured to as thick as a shit milkshake from MacDonalds and looks like a young Jordan. I'd laugh in her face if she tried to chat me up.
