Monday Night Poll: Can Megan Fox Act?

We know she has breasts, though the unveiling of their full bared glory remains, teasingly, for the future. We know she likes to kiss boys and girls. We know she has a face to die for, as several unlucky victims discovered this weekend in Jennifer's

LOL: Megan Fox Ignored In Interview, Forced To Wear Bag Over Her Head

It's a slow news day, so I thought I'd share this video which hit the web last week, but we never got around to posting. When National Lampoon's Matt Zaller does junket interviews for Jennifer's Body, star Megan Fox gets ignored and forced into putt

Rallying the Troops for 'Jennifer's Body'

Hipster Linguistics 101: Deciphering Diablo Codyspeak in 'Jennifer's Body'

Review: Jennifer's Body

By Todd Gilchrist -- reprinted from TIFF 9/11/09 What is Jennifer's Body, and what is it supposed to be about? I don't know, and the film doesn't seem to, either: It's not really a horror movie, because those are usually scary. Nor is it smart or s
