Megan Fox is becoming known not only for her ravishing looks, but for the controversial statements that come out of her mouth during interviews.
She’s come under fire for several statements she’s made in the last few weeks, including slamming Scarlett Johansson in Esquire for being “too smart.”
Her latest rant was about Michael Bay, the director for the Transformers franchise, which, by the way, put her on the map. Megan slammed Bay, saying he focuses too much on special effects, and not enough on acting.
Bay was quick to put Megan back in her place, telling the Wall Street Journal, "Well, that's Megan Fox for you. She says some very ridiculous things because she's 23 years old and she still has a lot of growing up to do. You roll your eyes when you see statements like that and think, 'Okay Megan, you can do whatever you want. I got it.’”
Bay went on to defend his movies, saying, "I 100 percent disagree with her. Nick Cage wasn't a big actor when I cast him, nor was Ben Affleck. before I put him in Armageddon. Shia LaBeouf wasn't a big movie star before he did Transformers -- and then he exploded. Not to mention Will Smith and Martin Lawrence, from Bad Boys.”
As the interview went, it was clear Bay got a little agitated. He said, "Nobody in the world knew about Megan Fox until I found her and put her in Transformers. I like to think that I've had some luck in building actors' careers with my films."
So true! Bay deserves a little respect! Why does Megan have to go around town burning all these bridges? If we were her, we’d be psyched that we were part of the biggest movie in the country right now.

Shut up Megan... you ignorant slut.
Whatever. Up close, I’d like to see her in a bathing suit.
Michael Bay makes Tony Scott look like Orson Welles.
TTIWWP!!!!!
Dear Megan, the movie is named after some fictitious robots from space... you are actually a bit player
I have to admit that during Bay’s prolonged, chaotic action sequences, I lose track of what I’m watching and just wait for it to be over. “Pearl Harbor”? Ugh!
That’s why he works behind the camera, and uses bimbos in front of it.
Megan and Shia’s acting really suck in the film.
Crossing fingers in the next Transformers, both of them get terminated.
Well, maybe she’s so hot things around her are bound to catch fire...
In any case, she wasn’t hired for her brains.
this picure is an examole of acting. all the acting she needs to do.
No one goes to see a Michael Bay film for anything but brainless fun. He does have an amazing ability to take fairly decent actors and still make a goshawful film, but dang they sure are fun. Plus, the good guys are clearly the good guy and military blow a lot of crap up usually saving the world in the end. It’s perfect summer fare.
Megan who?
Well she is right, everything is about special effects, no real decent story or character development with Michael Bay. But it’s because of him she is where she is and should keep her mouth shut.
I am tired of this girl, way over exposed but stil not bad to look at ;)
Accusing Scarlett Johansson of being too smart... Uh, not fooling anyone.
LOL, no kidding. This isn’t a Shakespeare adaptation, it’s a movie about alien robot-cars...no one will notice her lack of character development.
Michael Bay makes movies, not films. He is in the entertainment industry. Many of his films are silly and stupid, but if I was in the industry I would back him with my money anytime. His movies make tons of money.
Despite Bay making perfect sense....she’s absolutely not guilty.
Stuff it Michael Bay!
