from falling short at the height of fame to aftertaste of the month
Trash talking is part of a celebrity's job. When it comes to talking smack few were as good as Megan Fox - back when she was a celebrity. Meggers had an opinion on almost any subject you cared to name, and the young lady wasn't shy about sharing them either. Whether it was speculating that she might be a horny man trapped in a hot chick's body, a hot man trapped in a horny chick's body, or that actresses really prostitutes instead of virtually prostitutes, or even secretly prostitutes; Meggers shot from the lip (I don't think we'll ever forget her "I'm a lesbian, in theory" comment).Fox paus
Now Fox has said plenty of stuff in her 2 1/2 years of over exposed celebrity. So much that it's hard to keep track (although there are websites devoted to keeping track of her "Foxisms"), yet the thing that follows her around are those Wonder Woman statements she made back when every twitchy fan boy with a secret stash of Powergirl comics under the mattress dreamed that Megan might play the Amazing Amazon.
purported promotional poster phtomanip
If you'll recall, back at the height of Meggers fame (She used to be the next Angelina Jolie), a photmanip purporting to be an official studio promotional poster made the rounds on the Internet showing Meggers as Wonder Woman. The hoax was taken seriously for about 24 hours, and had tongues wagging that Fox was being tapped to play Wonder Woman in a feature film. Fanboys freaked out (if you can call constant tweaky masturbation freaking out). Megan was the hottest actress in Hollywood and it only seemed right that she should play the hottest comic book superheroine.
no small parts please - big mouth vs big challenge
It didn't seem right to Megan. Apart from the fact that Wonder Woman is 6 ft tall, and Megan is 5'3" with a push, Fox had another objection. She didn't like the character. In fact in an interview Meggers said the following about one of the comics most beloved icons:
“She flies around in her invisible jet and her weaponry is a lasso that makes you tell the truth. I just don’t get it. Somebody has a big challenge on their hands, whoever takes that role. But I don’t want to do it.”
Megan is never one to leave you guessing about what she's thinking.
Wonder Woman 2.0
Now some one else has decided to share their thoughts about the matter. With David Kelley's announcement that he plans to bring Wonder Woman back to TV, everyone wanted to know what Lynda Carter thought. Carter is very keen on the idea. In fact she has stated that:
“I spoke to him several weeks ago and he is perfect for it because he will really give the characters life. It’s not just going to be a cartoon or a comic book thing, which is really what I think we tried to do.”
Wonder Trashed
However when asked if she liked Fox for the role, Carter was less enthusiastic. Says Lynda - "Megan Fox actually kind of trashed Wonder Woman. She said she thought it was dumb, like ‘what’s the big whoop making people tell the truth.’ I like her, I just thought she shouldn’t trash Wonder Woman.”
Carter gets miffed
Now this has been reported as Carter slamming Fox. However you'll note that Carter never said that she disliked Fox. On the contrary she said that she liked her. In fact she never even went so far as to say that Fox shouldn't get the role. She just said that Fox should watch her mouth a little more. She even said it very nicely. When you consider that Fox's most notable role to date has involved dialogue with a talking car called Bumblebee, it does make her invisible plane comments sound a little - oh what's the word - lame. Some might say that she could take a few lessons from Carter on how to talk in public.
the indignity industry
BTW considering the way Fox's career has been going lately, and anyone can have a slump, she might do well to consider the David Kelley Wonder Woman project. It would spare her and new husband Brian Austin Green the indignity of appearing in a reality TV series.
