Megan Fox. Nuff said?

Before Transformers, no one knew who she was. Okay, so I did watch Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen, so I knew who she was, but that's not the point. She is probably the most lusted after actress in Hollywood today, but does she really want to act? Being a student at New Trier, I know a group of kids who would die to be in a film with Shia LaBeouf or under the direction of Michael Bay. They are known as Theater Kids.

"He’s like Napoleon and he wants to create this insane, infamous mad-man reputation. He wants to be like Hitler on his sets, and he is. So he's a nightmare to work for but when you get him away from set, and he's not in director mode, I kind of really enjoy his personality because he's so awkward, so hopelessly awkward. He has no social skills at all. And it's endearing to watch him. He's vulnerable and fragile in real life and then on set he's a tyrant. Shia and I almost die when we make a Transformers movie. He has you do some really insane things that insurance would never let you do."

I was checking out Perez Hilton's latest daily posts today when I came across an article about her. Apparently, a group of crew members that have worked with Bay for years defended him after Fox compared him to Napoleon and Hitler, defended him and trash-talked Megan. I'm not here to jump on the bandwagon and egg them on, but some of the things they said about her work ethic, along with the ungrateful/disgusting comments she has made (above) have just made me so angry.

It makes me wonder, why do people praise actresses that aren't taking their work seriously? Is it because these comments she makes are funny? Is it her looks? Has the quality of actresses/actors decreased recently? Why do I care so much about what she has to say? 

A part of me wishes we didn't know this much about people we watched on screen or TV.A large part of me hopes that the kids around us today that really want to be in her shoes make it, but are more grateful people. Thoughts?
