Megan Fox says she's a reformed "giant motorcycle-riding lesbian"Beautiful people can get away with a lot, and if anyone has proven that over the past year, it’s Megan Fox. It seems that every week now, Fox says something so offensive, ignorant or — dare I say — stupid, it’s hard to believe she hasn’t faced any major backlash yet. Well, let this be a call for that backlash to begin: I am so over you, Megan Fox.
While Fox openly calls herself bisexual, that doesn’t stop her from spreading her bi-phobic views (because that’s really the support we need right now) and, in the July issue of British GQ., letting the lesbian stereotypes fly: "Really my only job is to look attractive,” Fox told the magazine. “I was so angry about that, that I went in the opposite direction. I turned into a really butch bull dyke for, like, six months ... Then I went in the other direction. From being a giant motorcycle-riding lesbian, I turned into a zombie. I lost, like, 30 pounds."
Do I even need to comment further on that statement? What is wrong with you, Megan Fox? Where do you come from? This gem of a quote comes just weeks after her brilliant interview with Esquire, where she shared her thoughts on bisexuality, which Dorothy Snarker discussed previously: “I think people are born bisexual and then make subconscious choices based on the pressures of society. I have no question in my mind about being bisexual. But I'm also a hypocrite: I would never date a girl who was bisexual, because that means they also sleep with men, and men are so dirty that I'd never want to sleep with a girl who had slept with a man.” While readers vigorously debated Fox’s statement in Snarker’s post, I cannot believe someone who allegedly supports the gay community would say something so stupid! It’s tragic that in a post-Prop 8 America, where Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell doesn’t seem to be going anywhere and where marriage rights refused to queer citizens, someone would openly bash a part of the community they allegedly belong to. Bi-bashing has gotten old, and as much as Fox disdains intellectuals — she should know better. The GQ comment is one of many Fox has made that has be thinking about what Beth Ditto recently said regarding Katy Perry: I hate Katy Perry! She’s offensive to gay culture, I’m so offended. She’s just riding on the backs of our culture, without having to pay any of the dues and not being actually lesbian or anything at all. I would like to forward this statement to Megan Fox: We giant motorcycle-riding lesbians don’t need you.
And while you don’t seem to think you are “a retard” (just another example of Fox using that noggin of hers before talking to a major publication) we think you should read a newspaper once in awhile, or at least the magazines you are quoted in. Then maybe you will see how you really sound. Sure, she’s kind of hot, but I voted for Portia de Rossi over her in the Hot 100 for many reasons. Being hot only gets you so far.

Yes!
WHAATTT
ok people who get offended by stereotypes are usually the ones that fall into them... im not saying megan fox is right to sound completely ignorant but people are entitled to voice thier opinons even if they are wrong..and megan fox will remain ungodly beautiful no matter how ridiculous her comments get i meen if u dont like her dont read her interviews....but im pretty sure you guys will anyway
RAE
Oh, no, no. I am in no way
Amen!
=D
She would be a great
ungodly beautiful
exactly
do we even need another reason??
by far my most hated "celeb" ever to grace the earth,
and I shall maturely say, I really really hope she falls into a hole of some description.
wow...
Megan Fox>>
I never thought that girl was hot. She's just so...obvious! There's just nothing about her I find particularly attractive and after reading some of her interviews, I have even MORE reasons not to dig her.
Give me Meshell Ndegeocello any day!
agreed
Honestly...
...I'm less offended about what she said (someone get her a handler, for Christ's sake) and more offended that people find her (herself included) to be that attractive.
I don't know. Maybe I'm missing something. But she looks plastic-y and porn-y to me. 'Beautiful' just isn't the first word that enters my mind when someone mentions Megan Fox.
Moleskine dreams
...i agree...
...while M.F. (hehe) is undeniably sexy, she is not beautiful; americans always confuse these two words. She DOES look like a porn star (albeit a well-polished/un-skanky porn star, but a porn star nonetheless). Arg! i get it, i really do; she is so obviously gay and wants to deflect from her homosexuality by making herself seem as unattractive to the lesbian community as possible...she never smiles and when she does i feel like she's going to make fun of armless children...make no mistake, i still wanna rok her sox, and it's a free county she can say whatever the fuck she wants but...why say stupid things when you don't have to...
***No, you came out wrong...shut it DOWN!***
WTF!
You have got to be kidding me. Yeah, that does it for me folks.
I know that everyone is allowed to speak their mind, but I just can't belive that she doesn't think about the impact that she is having when she speaks.
Oh well...I'll just spend more time looking and Ruby Rose :-)
What a mess...
verbal diarrhea ^^
... you just made my day. Soooo funny.
oh soo funny
Really?
Megan Fox
"Really my only job is to look attractive”.
No shit. I doubt anybody would pay her to do anything else but be attractive. If so, she would miserably fail and probably be fired. Quickly.
Also, there is some ambiguity in her statement. Was she a lesbian who rode giant motorcycles, or was she a giant lesbian who rode motorcycles?
Giant Lesbian
It's better to shut up and
It's better to shut up and let people think you're stupid, than to speak and remove all doubt.
I agree...for some people
I agree...for some people its better to be seen and not heard!!! wow

That Beth Ditto Quote?
"I hate Katy Perry! She’s offensive to gay culture, I’m so offended. She’s just riding on the backs of our culture, without having to pay any of the dues and not being actually lesbian or anything at all"
Beth Ditto didn't say this, but The Gossip's Drummer, Hannah Billie, did.
Over Megan Fox. Really. She's not hot. I'm sure plenty of people will continue to think she is though.

I never really got the whole "hotness" thing for her anyway.
I mean, she's attractive enough but I don't know what all the hype is about. The only movies I've ever seen her in are "Transformers" and "How to Lose Friends and Alienate People". Both were small parts and in both she was competent but pretty unremarkable. All in all, she's really just kinda bland.
But this is not entirely her fault. I'm gonna have to agree with Sandra Bernhard on this and say that this new crop of stars has yet to produce any truly iconic figures so magazines are settling for the ramblings of Megan Fox.

oh nooo....
Megan Fox is making it really hard for me to like her.. :(
She should just keep her pretty little mouth shut before she gets in a whole lot of trouble.
I guess being insanely gorgeous is just not enough, .. and her ignorance (stupidity) is covered up by labeling her as an "out-spoken" person. When she's really just babbling out nonsense .
ahhhh... what a shame :((((((
eh I've never really liked
eh I've never really liked her ever.
I like Katy Perry though.
Still like her
arg.
bored of fox watch
LoL
Dear Megan. I urge you to invest in a gag ball. For your sake and ours also.
That one looks kinda pretty.
If you do not like this one, there are other models out there, different colors etc.
See...
For your mouth I would recomend something more hardcore.
If thats not of your liking, maybe try getting some brain/mouth filter. But please, I beg you, STFU!
One of the best posts ever..
You featured a love *s&m* item I enjoy and the fact that she needs to where them...
You must be a fun fun fun person! I need friends like you..seriously.
hahaha
of course that's what she needs! i wonder how she'll look like...
"For your mouth I would recomend something more hardcore". hilarious..
mmm...
I for one would not want
I for one would not want to see one of those things in her pretty mouth!

Not a big deal
I have a feeling that quote was taken out of context. It sounds like she was saying that no one was giving her any good acting parts - and that she was only being told to look hot, and not given respect for her acting skills and/or brain, and that it offended her.
I don't really get what is so offensive about what she said. She said she turned into a big motorcycle-riding lesbian in response to that attitude. I know more than a couple of older lesbian women who have said the same kind of thing when thinking back to their initial coming out period. It's not like she was talking about butch bulldykes as being freaks - she was saying that she had been one, and then that she lost 30 pounds to be in this new film of hers.
Personally, I don't get the hoopla, but I suspect it has something to do with the way she now looks - totally unstereotypically bulldyke - totally not stereotypically queer.
I agree with it not being a
This might be...
wth!
I Have To Agree With You Pheme About Megan Fox's Quote ...
taken out of context. I reread that statement a few times. Deciphering her words it looks like it was taken out of context. I'm not buying she said it like that. GQ is really making her look so bad. I think they want Lesbian/Bi womyn to completely hate her. If I was Megan Fox, I would contact the idiot who misquoted her for some flare and attention. They are competing against Esquire.
I still don't think overall she's all of that;however, I think she should had been quoted right.
These new celebs will learn to stop talking to mainstream press. They only want the celeberities to look bad. Then again I don't know if Megan is cool enough to care about how she looks on print.
I don't think she's attractive.
There's a blog dedicated to all the dumb things she says/does.

...equals unattractive in my opinion.
Let's be serious...
Does anyone take Megan Fox seriously?
I don't, it's really hard to when crap like that comes out her mouth.
I have the sneaking
Thank you!
I have a feeling each time she does an interview she looks in the mirror and says:
"Megan, what you spew onto the earth is utter brilliance!!!!! Brains, beauty, and a size 0 ass, take that Scarlett...bitch...sexy bitch who married that guy DAMMIT!"
*Laughs evily while flipping her hair*
I mean with Jessica Simpson the things she said were umm interesting but I felt it was for the show being dumb and blonde which I guess is ADORABLE in the American public. What Megan says *face palm*, I don't know I'm starting to think she doesn't give a shit, lmao!
As for her being a "giant motorcycle-riding lesbian" well I was a one too but discoverd red pumps and lipstick...lots of lipstick! *rolls eyes*
Haha isn't that the problem
Eww...
Whilst i see where all the
Whilst i see where all the negativity comes from, i have to say that i like how, whilst open about her bisexuality (ha! scandal! who'd have thunk it - sexual deviance in hollywood!), she is just as airheady and bimbo-ish as any "rising star" they churn out. so in a way, thank goodness for that. she fits the stereotype of a starlet so perfectly that actually in a way it's a wonderful development that her sexuality is no longer a negative issue in her mainstream rise to fame. it's just another thing she can be an idiot about and produce such ludicrous and, ultimately, only self-damaging statements along the lines of such gems as mariah carey's "Whenever I watch TV and see those poor starving kids all over the world, I can't help but cry. I mean, I'd love to be skinny like that, but not with all those flies and death and stuff..." Brilliant! Long live celebrity stupidity, regardless of its misguided origins!
Megan Fox...
I wonder if her agent prays every time an article is due out of hers... "please god, please let her not have said something stupid that I'm gonna have to fix later on."
<<oh, I want you whole and complete after dark, after dark>>
