    In reply to Megan Fox's Minders Are Worried Women Don't Like Her
    Oh, get over yourself and go call the whambulance, Megan. You know why I don't like you? Because you make it clear in every interview that you don't like women. You can only talk about other women in the context of how they're jealous of your body, your face, your talent, your acting jobs. We get it. You have what most of us will never have.

    You may be beautiful, but no more so than other, far more talented actresses like, say, Kate Winslet or Anne Hathaway, neither of whom feels the need to tear other women down regularly. #meganfoxhate

    This is tremendously silly, but all the "freaky" thumbs stuff bothers me. I have those thumbs. It's a recessive trait. It's not a flaw. I find it ridiculous that we're actually discussing the aesthetic beauty merits of thumbs. Good grief.

    I think one of the reasons I love Jennifer's Body is actually because of Fox. Because she managed to look like this embodiment of the current male fantasy...and yet play a completely subversive character fucking with that very concept.

    Sometimes I think we're so used to women self-deprecating, pleasing, and constantly trying to win us over all the time (especially when they're in the public eye) that when someone doesn't do that we're kind of shocked. Women who look like her usually go out of their way to try and come across as non-threatening.

    And since I feel like being honest...I don't hate her, I actually kind of like her...and I am totally jealous of how she looks. I'll never look like that, and though I know it' s not all naturally occurring, and I know there are other things in life that matter more...there is a part of me that wonders what that' s like. Because to me it seems a bit like a gilded cage. #meganfoxhate

    In reply to Sneak Peek: James Franco Joins General Hospital Cast
    I haven't watched a soap since the days when my college roommate used to TAPE (not DVR, tape) All My Children, but I think I might watch this just for the crazy. #jamesfrancogeneralhospital

    I'm sure some women hate Megan Fox because she's pretty, but I see two much bigger issues.

    1) She isn't girl-pretty. I watched the VMAs with a friend who is very uninterested in celebrity. She really did not get all of the remarks about how gorgeous Megan Fox is, they literally confused her. Not that she thought Megan Fox was ugly, but that she wasn't any prettier than Beyonce or Taylor Swift.

    2) She says incredibly dumb stuff and shits on women. That quote up there about women tearing each other apart isn't going to win her female fans.

    3) Outside of Jennifer's Body which no one saw, she's only been in dude movies where she is the sexy prop. Women tend to like actresses who play relatable female characters not fembots.

    The closest comparison I can come up is Matthew McConaughey who I would guess has more female fans than male fans since he does a lot of chick flicks and is known for his chest. #meganfoxhate

    Major points for prominently featuring the "toe thumb" on the cover, Ms. Fox. Workin' the "I'm flawed! So you can like me!" angle.

    I think she's gorgeous--no doubt about it. In a way that I really like. But over and over, she's presented ornamentally, saying titillating but not threatening-to-the-(male)-status quo stuff. She does the mouth-half-open pose constantly. She's half-dressed.

    That's okay. But once I've seen it, I'm like, "Well, hooray for you, pretty thing!"

    I think in ten years, I bet she'll be making noises like Demi Moore about how there are no good roles for older women, when, in reality, if you build a career around being an ornament, you can't expect to be hired it's Show Up (with some talent) or Shut Up time, in your early 30s.

    Angelina is as beautiful, but women love her, and always have. Because she's willingly presented other sides of herself besides, well, herself and her thoughts about herself and what other people think of her. She showed range and skill in her acting; she showed some self-awareness that wasn't self-obsession in her interviews.
    In short, she presented herself as more than just a One Pout Pony, and chicks dig it! #meganfoxhate

    Has anyone ever seen her with her mouth closed? Yeah. I thought not. Perpetual "sexay time face" - as well as women who constantly speak in a sultry manner get on other women's nerves because you're obviously not talking to US. Keep playing to half the crowd and that's all you win over. #meganfoxhate

    Maybe if Megan didn't harp on about how all girls are bitches and jealous of her, more of them would like her. Also, humility is one thing - whining is another. If she hadn't done so many men's magazines etc then she sure as hell wouldn't be even half as famous as she is today. #meganfoxhate

    One of the reasons I don't particularly like Megan Fox is that she keeps telling me that I don't like her due to her rather sweeping generalisations about women.

    The world is constantly telling me what I should think about everything else. It would be nice if movie stars would refrain and just get on with entertaining me.

    Has anyone ever had someone tell you that people are being mean to you because they are jealous?

    I have, and, frankly, it's embarrassing, not something to strive for.

    That said, my boyfriend would LOVE her. He worked at Red Lobster in high school and constantly tries to drag me there for crab. #meganfoxhate

    Well, I have been giving her the benefit of the doubt, but, echoing what others here have already said, claiming other women don't like you because they are jealous is probably the quickest way to ensure that other women don't like you.

    I'll like Megan Fox when she gives me something to like. Though, I operate under the impression that women have more to offer than 'being attractive.' #meganfoxhate

    Oh, Megan. I'll like you when you act decently in a movie I'd actually wanna see. Until then, I'd don't have enough feelings towards you to be ever so jealous. #meganfoxhate
