News about Megan Fox

Just when Megan Fox is being panned for her acting skills in movies like the ‘Transfomers’ series and ‘Jennifer’s Body’, Hollywood comeback kid Mickey Rourke has hailed the model-turned-actress as Hollywood’s ‘best young actress’.

Fox impressed Rourke on the sets of their new movie ‘Passion Play’ opposite each other where she plays a ‘circus freak’ with wings who is under the control of a ruthless gangster and is eventually rescued by Rourke’s character, reports imdb.com.

Rourke reveals he was left in awe of Fox’s talent and professionalism and insisted she’s one of the most promising movie stars in Hollywood.

‘(She) is the best young actress I’ve ever worked with. I don’t know if a lot of her films have showcased her acting ability more than, say, being action-oriented, but she really stepped up (to) the plate with this one and was very consistent and professional, beyond her years. At 23, I couldn’t do half of what she’s doing,’ he said.

If Motorola’s Superbowl commercial proved anything Sunday night, it’s that there are one too many bloggers out there who are overly familiar with Megan Fox’s body parts – especially her thumbs.

The commercial features the sexy “Transformers” star au natural in a bathtub filled with strategically placed bubbles.

According to the Daily Mail, after the commercial aired, meticulous bloggers noted that Motorola employed a hand double for Fox’s closeups.

“Did anyone else catch this?” wrote a blogger for Celebrity Smack. “I couldn’t help but chuckle when they showed a close-up of the Motorola phone and the hands holding it were definitely not Megan Fox’s.”

After Fox’s promotional movie photos surfaced last summer, revealing a candid look at her abnormally shaped thumbs, the Daily News learned that the 23-year-old actress has a hereditary defect known as brachydactyly.

“Literally, what it means is short finger,” Dr. Steven Bendner, a hand surgeon at Beth Israel Medical Center, told us. “The nail of the thumb in this condition is often very short and wide.

“It is usually hereditary. Although it could also have been caused by frostbite, or it could have been an injury to the growth plate in childhood.”

But don’t expect Fox’s so-called clubbed thumbs to stand in the way of her career anytime soon.

“In Megan Fox’s case, it appears that only the last bone of the thumb is affected and that it does not involve the joint,” says Dr. Richard Kim, director of congenital hand surgery at Hackensack Medical Center. “For her, it looks like it’s just a cosmetic deficit.”

MEGAN Fox says being famous is like being a “sacrificial lamb”.

The Transformers star says she has created a media persona so people can’t tear her down in the press.

“Being a celebrity is like being a sacrificial lamb,” she said. “At some point, no matter how high the pedestal that they [critics and audiences] put you on, they’re going to tear you down.

“And I created a character as an offering for the sacrifice. I’m not willing to give my true self up.

“The reality is, I’m hidden amongst all the insanity. Nobody can find me.”

The 23-year-old recently insisted she is nothing like “tigress” Angelina Jolie.

“People compare me to Angelina Jolie, and she’s so serious and stoic. I’m the opposite,” she said.

“I’m not a tigress like Angelina. Of course, people want me to be. But I want to be the contradiction of that.

“When I do interviews, I say things that I think are hysterical. But because we live in a world of sound bites, you’re not allowed to have a sense of humor.

“Sarcasm doesn’t translate in print at all. And neither does self-deprecating humor.

“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.”
