Beautiful Loser - Is Megan Fox a Druggie?

A long time ago, back when Megan Fox was the second coming of sex...

When Megan Fox got dropped off of T3 everyone naturally assumed that director Michael Bay had enough of her big overactive mouth. After all she did basically call T2 a piece of crap, or something, on a late night talk show. Actually she said the Transformers wasn't about great acting. Since Bay didn't set out to make A Man For All Seasons some didn't see the basis for a beef. Bay seemed to take exception and made his own statement in which he referred to the many actors he'd "made" over the years, like Will Smith. Then he went on to hint that he was sad Fox didn't have what it took to be one of them. People were waiting for the inevitable Fox fall out, in which her character would wind up as the Bride of Megatron in the next Transformers. Bay went on to reassure everyone that Ms. Sexy would be in the 3rd Transformers movie, on his website. Then came the announcement that Fox was out. Bay made some references to alarming weight lose. Everyone thought that was a cover story. No one was surprised.

Fall of Fox

What is surprising is that there may be some truth to the alarming weight loss stories. Fox did drop serious weight for Jennifer's Body. Some say that she went as low as 97 pounds. There were also some stories that she was beginning to lose her hair. In fact there were rumors going around that big ugly bald spots were starting to show through Fox's hair extensions. Now there are a lot of explanations for a hot young actresses losing weight and hair unexpectedly: like stress, overwork, and an eating disorder. Then there's the obvious explanation.

Now Fox has never kept her drug use a secret. She's a public marijuana supporter. However pot doesn't make your hair fall out. So rumors begin swirling around that Ms. Meggers was getting her pretty surgically tweaked snoot into something harder. Now these stories make the rounds in Follywood about young actresses, especially when their hair and teeth start dropping out, and they begin rubbing on the fake bake to cover their sickly pallor ("Do you think that I'd get plastic surgery to look this bad at my age unless I had to?!"). Usually it gets dismissed - as it was with Mischa Barton, even though she was routinely showing up for assignments and interviews stoned out of her gourd (and which was reported on this very blog a month or so before her 5150 wisdom tooth freak out) - until there's more than sizzle behind the smoke. This time there appears to be some beef to the stories and the confirmation comes by way of Laineygossip.

boozers, users, and beautiful losers

Back in March 2009 Lainey covered a Fox/BAG related story that she called Toxic tweaky love. Besides implying that Fox was doing it with Robert Pattison, it covered an event that happened while BAG & Foxy were down in Santa Monica. Seems that the two had a knock down drag out fight which was so bad that neighbors called the cops on 'em. Not for the first time either. Apparently screaming matches are the norm for them, and the cops get flagged in by bystanders on a regular basis.

"please don't sue me, Tweaky" - pussy footing around Foxy

Lainey also goes on to report that the pair are usually horrible to each other and to anyone with the misfortune to be near by. They also both get violent. What's worse Lainey goes on to report that the pair are rail thin and have 'food issues'. A small salad is about as much as anyone has seen either of them choke down(They usually share the salad). Plus BAG is "rail thin". Lainey doesn't pussy foot through the whole article though. Towards the end she comes right to the point. She says that the pair have been observed 'allegedly tweaking' ("allegedly" is blogspeak for "please don't sue me" - "tweaky" is streetspeak for freaked out on meth). Now folks don't tweak on pot. That's more of a crack/crystal meth sort of thing. So is weight loss & baldness.

"I'm totally psyched about this bar code tattoo!" - Hollywood Supergirls in celebrity bondage

So this would explain the Fall of Megan Fox. Naturally everyone assumed that her career dried up for the usual reasons: big mouth, no talent, and looks already fucked up with too much plastic surgery. That's a good theory except that it doesn't explain every other working actress in Follywood struggling with similar issues (Thank God for Anne Hathaway - the AntiMegan. Her only weakness is Follywood sleazoids!). If they booted out every lunatic in Follywood then the Quaids would be on an asylum waiting list in Vancouver, and directors would be so hard up for warm bodies to stick in flicks that they'd be casting Kenneth Branagh in love scenes with Sir Ben Kinglsey.

crack is whack

So there had to be more to the story behind Fox's Fall then a great big mouth going off unexpectedly like some kind of loose cannon. Sadly the drug story sounds like it has a ring of truth to it. If Meggers has taken to the crack, or worse - Whiteny Houston style, then her Follywood patrons may have fucked off and abandoned her distanced themselves from her. For one thing she'd have made herself unreliable (too consistent to be reliable, which is the worst kind of unreliable!). For another no one wants to be involved in her career when she goes off like a time bomb that thing comes to a head - remember Heath Ledger. It also adds some serious significance to Michael Bay's comments about cutting Fox loose over an alarming weight loss.

tweak your life script baby

Now Fox may be a bitch not be the most likable gal in the business (though her shoot from the lip routine does have a certain charm). It would still be a shame if this were true. Though Foxy might be short on talent she does have an undeniable screen presence and charisma. So she has something to offer.That being said we can only hope that if the rumors are true then Foxy takes it upon herself to get it together and get her career back. Marylin Munroe might make a cool tattoo but she's a lousy role model. Follywood casualty is also a crummy script to base your life on! Besides no one, not even Megan, deserves to play out their career Lindsay Lohan style in celebrity TV rehab!
