Michael Bay and Megan Fox just won’t shut up about their alleged feud, or how they’re not really fighting, or how they’re passive-aggressively taunting each other, or how Megan is just a little tiny woman being bullied by big bad men after she acted consistently unprofessional and disrespectful. So anyway, most people know the larger points of this story: Megan said Michael Bay was “like Hitler”, Megan got called out by a lot of people, including Transformers crew members, yadda yadda. A few months ago there was even a rumor floating around that Bay wanted to write Megan Fox out of the Transformers franchise and bring in some new hot girl. Michael has now given a new interview where he denies wanting to push Megan out of the franchise, and blames her stupidity and unprofessional behavior on her age.
As much as we love a vicious catfight, Movieline equally loves a peace accord (mainly because it opens the door for a good sucker-swat). So join us now live from the Victoria’s Secret fashion show as Michael Bay — feather-trimmed boob-for-boob the best lingerie-commercial director working on the planet today — offers an olive branch to Megan Fox, the onetime-chamois-girl-turned-superstar whose candid appraisal of the director included a comparison to Hitler. Bay’s not sweating it:
“I love her … It’s just, she’s young. Everyone’s got to give her a break, she only…23? It’s just hard. I’ve traveled around the world with her and she’s just like this world symbol now, you know?”
So he brushes her diatribes under the carpet? “Absolutely … She called me (after the Hitler comment) and goes, ‘It’s all bullsh—t, Mike.’ The press, they just like to prey, and stalk, and pounce and find a good little juicy thing. But she’s always wanted to do these crazy comments. That’s just her. She’s great.”
He also said, “She’s got a great part in Transformers 3,” and he said he’s currently working on the script. So Bay’s not planning on getting revenge by, say, killing her off? “No, no. no,” he said, dismissing it. “She gets enough of that already.”
No revenge for Fox, but rather a juicy, range-stretching part in Transformers 3 in which she’ll make her first screen appearance Turtle Waxing a Stealth Bomber with her whale tail peeking out. Congratulations, Megan!

Um… she’s 23 years old, not 13. She knows better. And if she really, truly does not know any better, than this is a teachable moment. And really, isn’t that setting the bar really low? “Oh, she’s 23 years old, she can’t be expected to know not to go around calling her director Hitler and Napoleon.” Trust me… I’ve worked since I was 16 years old. You pick up pretty fast what you should and should not say to and about your boss. That being said, CB is like Hitler. NOOOO!!!

Electrifying stuff.
It does not really matter! She is so hot and it’s enough! 🙂
I’ve always wondered what ‘else’ made Bay hire Fox. I mean, if it’s so easy to wash a director’s car to get a job, then everyone should do it.
Well, Megan Fox might be dumb because she is still young, so what is Michael Bay’s excuse for being and acting like an asshole. He needs to really STFU already and get over his obsession with her.
I dunno man, I was getting a masters in physics when I was 23… and I didn’t have to spread my legs or nuffin’ like that… this is sagism I tell you (sexism + agism)…. I’M OUTRAGED! :-p
High five @Enonymous, you hit the proverbial nail.
Personally I find MF’s comment hillarious (often I believe intentionally so) but MB just comes off as a prat.
With THAT kind of picture of Megan, i would def brush off everything she says. He’s right, she’s still young. I know some 30+ year old men who still act like 18 years old.
From the first Transformers: If you don’t learn to get a filter on that brain-to-mouth thing, you’re out of here.
Remember? :-p
Yeah…I was too stupid at 23 to realize who the hell Hitler was or the impact of using certain words. I sure as heck never learned about WWII in high school, probably because it was too controversial.
I was smart enough to keep my mouth shut about topics I didn’t know about though.
Well we can see who the professional and adult is in this feud, and you can see who isn’t.
Transformers is perfect for her, and after the 3rd installment, I am sure the popularity in the franchise will wane and Fox will be yet another pretty face without a job and talking about her glory days on the sets of a few money making movies.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!!!!!!!!
Grow up, little baby
They both need to STFU.. both are acting like 12 year olds. Who cares. Megan needs to learn to act and Bay needs to stop talking about his actors.
That movis sucked anyway. Let’s here him explain that. Right now Megan is a mouth, face and body. Waiting for her to become an Actor.
And that picture of her looks nasty on many levels.
they both need to grow up. there are 13 year olds smarter and more mature than these two.
@Lisa- They may have sucked critically, but numerically they have been MONSTER hits. All that matters in Hollywood is what kind of money the movie makes, not the quality of content.
No, Megan Fox is dumb because she has spent the 23 years of her life obtaining plastic surgery, engaging in vapid narcissism and posing for photo shoots like the one above.
Young does not equal dumb. Ignorant and vain equals dumb.
I don’t see michael bay as her boss..I mean he definetely made her a star, but that doesn’t mean that he owns her for life
Happy Thanksgiving Firestarter!!! And everyone else!! (I can’t believe I’m posting this under the most unappetizing picture imaginable, but oh well). 🙂
I’m convinced that she makes such stupid statement just to make us talk. And I dare to say that I almost appreciate it (she’s quiet entertaining). At least she has not the pretension to sound smart answering seriously to stupid questions.
@ Lisa I totally agree – that picture has me practically hurling – just ewwwww.
I am thinking she will probably end up like Tara Reid – pretty enough but no talent and eventually she just became another has been – any bets on that one?
She’s a moron.
Happy bird day, crash! Just think of Megan’s pose up there like a wishbone – you grab one leg, I’ll grab the other and we’ll make a wish. 🙂
Haha Crash, no kidding. Totally a Thanksgiving meal killer of a photo! Hope you have a great day!
Happy Thanksgiving to Crash and all the posters on CB! Hope your holiday is blissful and bountiful
Curses, Snowball and Crash! I look at this picture and all I can think of is farts!! That’s not my normal chain of thought. You guys subliminaled me. Curses! LOL
My question is Who poses for a picture like that and why??? Honestly? Who say’s wear a frilly bodysuit, lift your leg above your head, grab your foot and stare into the camera with your seductive sexy face??? Absolutely disgusting and degrading to women on so many levels!! She must be so proud having a picture like this of herself all over the world!
When do their respective “I’m With Stupid” shirts arrive?
How very disappointing. I expected a little more class from the Director who has Jewish relitives. Very disappointing indeed * a good person would never ever compare anyone to Hitler, even as a jest. I wonder if she had called him Himmler would it have made any difference. Probablly not. Of course he’ll blame it on her being 23 but then again most of my classmates in medical school are her age now. So I take acception to his asinine logic. Her hitler comment wasn’t just the only thing she saidut hey lets forget all those things too.
Enough already, when do peoplestart putting their feetwn and stop rewarding highschool drops outs? What a fantastic message that is sent out.
They have SO had sex.
While I’m fielding Thanksgiving-related cooking questions from frustrated friend and relatives, (not you, sis!) let me stop a moment and say I hate Megan Fox and other (bad) actresses in her league. F’em, and rejoice that JULIE ANDREWS IS GOING ON THE STAGE TO SING AGAIN!!!! Yaaaaaaaaay!
exception even
@viper, you’re expecting her to know who Himmler was?!
I hate people who use age as an excuse for stupidity. Naivety, sure, but not stupidity. It’s like all the oldies who think that, cause I’m 21, I won’t know old bands or songs. Megan’s a moron because she’s dumb. She’ll still be a moron in 20 years time, what excuse will you give her then?
@ GatsbyGal: I so agree!!!
By the way Micheal Bay and Megan Fox have been acting it is almost like two people that had a nasty breakup or rejected the other’s advances. Their comments about each other seem to be very over the top. It is almost like they are hiding something…..
LOL @Kevin! Snowball, eating turkey will never be the same again!! 😛
@18 (I can’t read your name, its all scrambled)- yes Tara Reid or Denise Richards. I see Z movies and maybe a reality show in her future. lol
Only 23?
She’s a grown woman.
Spooge! You were 23 and didn’t know who hitler was and what he did?!? Holy hell! That shows that you and this slutty Megan Fox are the reason why America will fall… It’s filled with idiots. I’m moving to Switzerland.
So Bay is taking the high road. Good for him. His career will outlive that of the dumbass wannabe.
I’ve seen the above pic before, and while she’s a beautiful girl (ok, with the aid of a surgeon’s scapel), that pose is really cheap.
I’m 22 and I think it has less to do with age then it does to do with what you’re doing with your age.
Megan Fox: “acting”, sexing director
Me: School, 2 jobs, internships that include addressing the Senator, speaking eloquently to elders, peers, superiors, etc.
Not bragging, I’d much rather be sexing up directors, but I’m pretty sure I’m younger and not nearly as dumb.
Spooge: I sure as heck never learned about WWII in high school, probably because it was too controversial.
**********************************************
Reminds me of Art Garfunkel’s version of “Wonderful World”:
Don’t know nothin’ ’bout the Middle Ages,
Look at the pictures and I turn the pages,
Don’t know nothin’ ’bout the Rise and Fall,
Don’t know nothin’ ’bout nothin’ at all…
i know lots of smart 23 year olds. she’s just plain ole dumb.
she’s not dumb. she has a hot career and she is playing the sex game exactly as one plays it if the only motive is to remain in the public eye. this is calculated intelligence. it’s just not the kind (of intelligence) that a lot of women (including myself) have any respect for. but don’t call her dumb. that’s the last thing that Megan Fox is. in fact, Michael Bay couldn’t get rid of her even if he tried. as much as she hates him and goes in his face to say it, he’s stuck with her because she helps sell his movies. ain’t nothing dumb about that.
He’s not stuck with her, it’s just a little hard to write somebody out of a franchise once they have been heavily written into a script. Funny that she waited to trash him after the 2nd Transformers was already finished. And contrary to your belief, she doesnt sell movies. Michael Bay action films have always made money at the box office. It would make no difference if she was in it or not. Need more proof,– the last movie she headlined bombed at the box office.
The bottom line is she most likely slept with him for the part.Thats dumb! Theres no way she would be doing a couple of things shes done unless she knew him more intimately than people are being lead to believe. What you don’t rightfully earn you don’t get to keep. Her fame will probably be short lived. It explains a lot of the catty bs. Over all Michael seems obsessed with Megan. Probably trying to save her, save face too and salvage his next movie. I heard Transformers didn’t have a lot of words which is probably because of the writers strike which explains why she said there wasn’t any acting in the movie. He’ll probably give Megan a few lines next time around so she can prove shes an “actress” not a mattress and dig herself out of the quicksand.
Yes…….its so true…..i think its a lover’s spat……one definitely refused the other, although who’s scorned don’t know….
And who washes a director’s car at his house unless its through the sleep on the couch that she got the job
to everyone who thinks megan fox is air headed. read her quotes http://jezebel.com/5285875/megan-foxs-50-best–worst-bon-motsand than read this.
of course she is not a retard and people who think she is are not retards either. The fact is that most of us (regardless of how smart or open minded or edgy we are or think we are) we act in a different way from the way we express our ideas (specially written expressions of them).
Let me put it this way. we live in 3D but we generally write our opinions in one or two dimensions at most.
None of us are perfect we are always evolving, our opinions in most subjects will change as we grow older and that fact doesnt allow everyone else to tell us to shut the fck up if we dont know what we are talking about. Cause we do know!!! They might know better if they are more experienced but that doesnt mean we dont have the right to express our ideas at our expirience level.
Megan is just talking about what she knows, she has made up her mind that way and she is being told to speak it out, in every interview, with every question.
And i don´t think she is trying to be offensive when she says girls dont like her, cause as far as she had experienced it , probably they dont!! may be is her fault but she is not a shrink, she just knows it is difficult to relate or interact with other women.
She is just not following the accepted social talking protocols. Like i bet someone out there has a friend who they think they always speak trying to show off their literacy (as megan thinks about sclarlett) And that friend (or scarlett fot that matter) may not be doing that on purpose. But since when opinions are banned!!!
And yes, women are sexualized in the media thats the way they merchandise women. This is a fact. And if someone doesnt want to struggle to change it she has the right of at least taking advantage of it. Closing our eyes at a fact does not vanish it.
she is a regular person, with a sense of humor, with flaws and mistakes… being honest.
and for the ones who point out that she contradicts herself, of course she does, we all do that cause we have the capacity to change our minds, and also to feel some way about something and otherway about something else and suddenly someone tells us we are being contradictory but somehow in our minds it make sense arent we all contradictory???
well as for look i guess though ive seen way naturally pretty such as myself and tons of other people who arent recognized daily but with a make up artist im sure trailor trash could like a shiney new coin as for the fake tanning bit its almost commical that it not only isnt good for you but it makes you skin feel like leather and you may look good now but when your 40 and freaked out by the woman in the mirror youll regret it. wait who gives a shit anyway anytime a famous person even farts its a new story i saw one and some girl had headlice and im not famous never had it but im sure millions of other people have and could find something thats “really important” to tell us happy holidays to all us norms least we appreciate value for the most part of importance
