Claim: Megan Fox Decides She's Not Quite Hot Enough; Announces She's Bisexual
This is from Showbiz Spy.
“I have no question in my mind about being bisexual,” the 22-year-old Transformers star tells Esquire magazine. “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.”
But she sleeps with dudes -- like, directly, without the middleman of a bisexual female partner -- so she scores bonus points for being sorta dumb, too.
Guys, this is the whole package right here.
Now, before you get too excited, bear in mind this story sounds a lot like a previous hoax. I'm being paranoid, I guess, but that Irish kid punks the press story has me more doubtful of the press than usual.
Hot young actress? Check. Claim to be interested in a taboo sex act? Check. New-ish internet gossip site of dubious credibility pushing the story? Check. Claim she revealed this in an interview for an upcoming but not yet published interview in Esquire? Check. [Actually, the issue's out, but I don't have it and can't check if the quote is genuine.]
A sorta similar story went around Anne Hathaway a few months ago.
And it's not exactly new, either, as Megan Fox has apparently made similar statements in the past. The trouble is that maybe she's not being completely on the level, and is maybe telling her male fans what they want to hear... whenever she's got a movie coming out. I dunno.
E! Online reports the same thing -- same quote, from Esquire -- which presumably they've actually checked, but you know what? I'm sorta not really comfortable trusting the media to go the extra mile and actually pick up a magazine and make sure the quote actually appears therein.
But, still: Hot.
Thanks to Joanna.
