At this point, Megan Fox is just giving interviews about how she comes across in interviews. It’s gotten that bad. She’s not promoting a film – and yet she was on the cover of the New York Times Magazine, complete with an extensive, ridiculous, whining interview. Example: when Megan spoke about how she called Michael Bay “Hitler” and the ensuing scandal that followed, Megan said “Bay is not happy with some of the things I’ve said about him. I was waiting for someone to defend me, to say, ‘That’s not accurate,’ but nobody did. I think it’s because I’m a girl. They left me out there to be bludgeoned to death.” Don’t you just want to smack her? Or, how about this gem: “The problem is, if they think you’re attractive, you’re either stupid or a wh-re or a dumb wh-re.” Yes, exactly, Megan. That’s why beautiful women are universally hated, right? That’s why Kate Winslet and Halle Berry have zero fanbases.

Anyway, more excerpts are being released from the NYT piece, including a video interview (here for the video). Megan’s talking about what it was like being on Saturday Night Live, and how her tattoos are “impulse purchases”. Since I doubt Megan is capable of putting much thought into anything at all, much less any one of her fug tattoos (pictures of some of the fug tattoos):

Megan Fox is the celebrity interview subject in the latest NY Times Screen Test, with the one-time cheerleader revealing that she is so terrified of public speaking that when approached to host Saturday Night Live, she didn’t want do it.

“I’ll never watch my episode, ever – I can’t, it gives me a panic attack thinking about it now,” she says. “Maybe after I’ve had children and there are more important things in life, I’ll be able to sit back and watch it and go, ah, who cares.”

The glamorous actress also admits, “When I get tattoos I don’t necessarily think them out; I don’t put a lot of thought into them the way some people do. They’re sort of more impulsive purchases.”

“Maybe after I’ve had children…”? Gah! Can you even imagine the kind of mind-numbingly idiotic things Megan would have to say about pregnancy? It would be worse than Kourtney Kardashian’s epic overshare. But, as far as the whole “I can’t watch myself on SNL” thing, Megan spoke a lot about SNL in the NYT Magazine piece, because she was being interviewed the week of her SNL appearance.

Megan was told that she’s didn’t need her fake, chicken cutlet “boobies” (her words) to do the SNL read-through. Megan told the NYT: “I like a job that doesn’t require my boobies.” Megan also claimed that she “did research” on SNL, saying “When women come on ‘S.N.L.,’ there are a lot of sketches dedicated to how hot they are. I’m really uncomfortable doing that. I’m more comfortable being self-deprecating. But no one wants me to be that way, for some reason.” The writer then goes on to detail Megan’s diva antics on the set of SNL, like how Megan refused all of the writers’ ideas for an opening monologue that would reference Megan‘s own dumb comments.

The NYT writer also notes, “In a strange way, “S.N.L.,” which required her to play seven different characters, was more acting than Fox has done in her entire career.” Megan admits as much too, saying: “I’m not one of these people who grew up studying acting or went to theater school. I don’t know if I’m talented, I don’t know what I can do or can’t do. I had no skills at all. As a child, I had it in my head that I was supposed to be doing this, and then I did it. But I didn’t know what I was doing.” You still don’t, Megan.
