Priyanka Chopra is mulling on the idea of buying herself a sports car. The actress has been shopping around for a two- door sports car. The actress has shortlisted three.
Imported only
A source close to the actress reveals, "She has shortlisted three sports cars. Whatever her choice, it will be an imported model. She has yet to zero down on the make and the model of the car."
Informed opinion
Before she left for her holiday to Indonesia and Thailand, PC spoke to her friends and colleagues about the models she had liked. Now that she is back, she will close the deal shortly.
Urgent longing
Adds the source, "She always wanted to own a sports car. But her recent trips abroad made the longing more urgent. Earlier, she was in two minds considering the roads and traffic in the city, but now she is keen on buying one after driving a few of them. She personally owns a Mercedes S Class and had an E Class too. She has also had a test drive with the sports car of the same brand."
Priyanka's dad Dr Chopra says, "Priyanka is fond of sports cars but for now, we haven't bought any."

Suzanne Somers was overheard at a party Monday night commenting on Patrick Swayze's death hours after the news had broken. And what she had to say, while disturbing, fits right into the strange and potentially dangerous medical opinions she's been spouting recently.
Somers, who was attending the after party for the debut of Tom Ford's new film, A Single Man, spoke with National Post writer Shinan Govani. Govani reported Somer's opinion that the doctors treating Swayze "basically put poison in him." Here's what Govani wrote after talking to Somers. And guess what? Somers had an opinion -- or three. An ardent foe of conventional cancer treatments -- she rejected chemotherapy, against the advice of her doctors, when she had the disease and beat it some years back -- the actress was calm, considered, yet angry. "They took this beautiful man," she told me, "and they basically put poison in him.
"Why," asked Somers, "couldn't they have built him up nutritionally and gotten rid of the toxins in his body?
"I hate to be this controversial," she later admitted to me. "I'm a singer-dancer-comedienne. But we have an epidemic going on, and I have to say it." This comes after she was recently criticized for telling Oprah Winfrey about a bizarre health regimen that includes injections of estrogen into her vagina and swallowing about 60 vitamin supplement pills every day. Call me crazy, but if I'm ever diagnosed with anything malignant, I'll trust the doctors over the paranoid old actress who thinks I can detox cancer.
Lautner at the '09 Teen Choice Awards. (Bauer Griffin) Twilight was all Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart. Now it’s Team Jacob’s turn. Taylor Lautner played Bella’s platonic friend and totally bulked up for the sequel. As readers know, he turns out to be a werewolf hottie in the next entry, New Moon, due out in November.
Zimbio: How did you get so ripped since the first Twilight?
Taylor Lautner: As soon as I finished up filming Twilight, I knew what I had to do. I knew I couldn’t wait to do it. I had to start right then, because to put on thirty pounds of muscle takes a long time. I had to sell myself. I wanted to portray this character correctly, so I was like, “I gotta start now.” That decision was not hard to make and it was not hard to get into the gym. The hardest part was actually eating. Eating a lot and eating a lot of good foods and cutting out all of the bad foods, and always putting something in your mouth. Every two hours, I always have to have something. So, that was the most difficult part for me, for sure.
Zimbio: Which of the Twilight books is your favorite, as a reader or as the actor who gets to say the words?
Taylor Lautner: My favorite book was actually Eclipse. I’m pretty excited [about] that. It’s got action. The action levels continue to build in this series. Zimbio: Way to sell New Moon.
Taylor Lautner: Well, I think the love triangle in Eclipse is the ultimate high point of the series, so I’m excited to get going. Twilight sets up the romance between Bella and Edward, and then Bella and Jacob’s friendship grows in New Moon. But, in Eclipse, it’s actually the three of them physically together, and we have to team up and make this decision to try and be friends to protect Bella.
Zimbio: How do you ease the tension when you’re making such a dark movie?
Taylor Lautner: This is so random but I like to hold a football with me, and as soon as I finish filming, I’ll play catch with anybody who will play catch with me.
Zimbio: And actors can actually catch a football?
Taylor Lautner: Kristen and I play catch all time. She has a really good arm. She’s extremely accurate. I don’t know how I got on this subject but she’s extremely accurate, especially with grapes. So, maybe I’m a little bit talented at opening my mouth so that she can take aim and I can catch her flying grapes, but she aims straight and always hits the perfect spot. It is so weird.
Zimbio: What was your first moment of “Oh my God” in this whole Twilight phenomenon?
Taylor Lautner: When we were filming, it had no attention. The first big thing for us was Comic-Con and to just walk out on that stage and hear the screams of the 6,000 fans, it was really different and I don’t think any of us were expecting it. So, that was the huge eye opener for us the first time around.
Zimbio: The second year, you had people camping out the night before just to get into convention hall to see you for an hour.
Taylor Lautner: Over the past year, I’ve learned that anything’s possible from our fans. So we expect anything, and it was just awesome to get out there and be with them again, show them the two clips.
Zimbio: When the Twilight saga is done, how will you feel about getting your life back?
Taylor Lautner: Well, I’m so thankful to be a part of this and I’m having a lot of fun doing it and I’ve made a lot of great friendships with everybody that I’ve worked with and we’ve got a while left. I haven’t really started thinking about that yet because that’s my main focus right now.
Zimbio: What is the one Twilight question that you never want to answer again?
Taylor Lautner: To growl. Fans actually ask me to growl for them, and I really don’t enjoy doing that. So, please don’t ask me to growl. Just wait for the movie.
Mila Kunis has been acting since she was 12 and she turned out okay. She had a hit series, That ‘70s Show, she does funny movies like Forgetting Sarah Marshall and she’s about to do the Darren Aronofsky ballerina drama Black Swan. But first, another comedy. In Mike Judge’s Extract, she plays Cindy, a con artist who comes to town to get a piece of the settlement money from the victim of an extract factory accident. Yeah, she takes your money, but she’s so cute.
Zimbio: What’s your favorite thing about Cindy, your character in Extract?
Mila Kunis: That she’s so opposite me, that she’s crazy. She’s not very normal, to say the least, so she’s just very fun to play. She’s crazy.
Zimbio: Do you think pretty girls can get away with more in real life?
Mila Kunis: Personally, no. I don’t. I really don’t. I do think that there are women out there. You look at L.A. No one’s really from L.A. All the pretty people from the world all come to L.A. so L.A.’s just filled with beautiful women. But, I feel like there’s two groups of them. You have one that solely relies on their looks and that’s fine. If that’s what they have to get through life, so be it. And then you have the beautiful women that actually have something else to offer the world and are constantly fighting against the stereotype.
Zimbio: I don’t know if you know this, but boys kind of like you. It's possible that's why they cast you in this part.
Mila Kunis: I do not look like this every day. I in fact very rarely look like this, so no, I can’t even get out of a parking ticket.
Zimbio: It’s the natural beauty?
Mila Kunis: I think there are certain actresses, absolutely, that exude a certain amount of sexuality or whatever it may be that men just completely fumble over. I do not feel that I’m that person, personally.
Zimbio: Who do you get fangirl for? Who would you just geek out to meet?
Mila Kunis: A lot of people. I nerd out a lot. I have a bad tendency to be like, “I’m so cool,” and then I meet them and I get like, “Oh my God!” It happens all the time in the most random places. I was at a restaurant in New York City, like a hole in the wall, and it was a contestant from Project Runway. Just a contestant that I personally felt should’ve won. It was maybe a year ago, two years ago. He was eating there, having his lunch, totally fine. I’m with my group of friends and I couldn’t stop staring at him. I was like, “That’s the guy, that’s the guy.” So I was like, “I’m going to play it cool. It’s no big deal.” Finished eating, and I was planning on walking away. Like, I got dressed to just walk away and something came over me and I just turned around and like it was diarrhea of the mouth. I was like, “Oh my God, I totally think you should’ve won. I’m such a fan.” And he was just so like, “Whoa, this girl’s crazy.” Completely nerded out on him like there was no tomorrow.
Zimbio: Was it Daniel?
Mila Kunis: [Nods] He should’ve won. He should’ve won. It was one of those seasons where I was like, “Wha, what?” And so I nerded out on him. Yeah, I think Daniel should’ve won. In New York City, I nerded out on Daniel.
Zimbio: In your next movie, Black Swan, you play a ballerina with Natalie Portman and the Internet’s all abuzz about your sex scene with her. Is it that big a deal as people are making it out to be, or would you care to add fuel to the fire?
Mila Kunis: I will not be adding any fuel to this fire, let me tell you that much. Here’s the truth. This is the honest truth. The script is so under lock and key, completely under lock and key, I in fact have no idea how anybody could’ve read it at all. It’s not possible. There are maybe about four copies. So I’m not going to say it’s not true. I’m not going to say it is true because I just can’t talk about it. But, it’s very bizarre how anything would even get out because it’s such a private script. Zimbio: You can talk about World of Warcraft though. There’s no actress as big a WoW fan as you.
Mila Kunis: You’d be surprised. Let me correct that one. I’m telling you, you would be very surprised. I might be the only one that spoke about it is the problem.
Zimbio: Well, they’re making a movie of that. You should get in on that.
Mila Kunis: What am I going to do, play a gnome? Gnome maids with like green pigtails spewing fire and frost… But, I am very excited to see this movie. I think it’s going to be very hard, being that I’m a fan, I don't know what they’re going to do. I can’t imagine what movie they’re going to create. Like, what’s the storyline going to be? I would watch the movie. I don't know if I could actually ever be a part of it because I’m such a fan, I don't know if I’d want to actually be in it. I don't know what the storyline’s going to be. What are they going to do, show how alliance versus hordes started? What’s the story going to be like, the story of Stormwind? I have no idea. How they’re going to put Ironforge onscreen baffles me. I can keep talking about this. I’ll stop but I’m excited about it. I am but I don't know.
Zimbio: Actually, this is what your fans want to know. You must have all the consoles too, not just PC.
Mila Kunis: Yeah, I do. Yeah, yeah, all of it.
Zimbio: What’s your favorite game outside of Warcraft?
Mila Kunis: I’ll tell you. So Call of Duty, if you finish it in first person, do you know about this? With the Nazi zombies. That, to me, is really fun. You finish Call of Duty first person, okay? You unlock this little game and your whole purpose is just to kill these Nazi zombies. You have to board up the windows. And I’m not necessarily good at it. It’s just fun. The thing is, I used to play a lot more. I used to play a lot and it’s kind of toned down a little bit. You know, it’s now become normal.
Zimbio: No more 18 hour all night marathons?
Mila Kunis: Oh yeah, but I quit. I stopped playing World of Warcraft a year ago. I feel like I’m talking about drugs.
Zimbio: It is like an addiction though.
Mila Kunis: You join a guild, right? And in this guild, you would sign up for raids. Depending on how serious your guild is, once you sign up for a raid and you don’t show up, your guild rips you a new one. And, if you don’t make enough quath for them, whatever. It became an issue of like, “Were are all our potions? You’re supposed to make this for the raid.” And I was like, “I’m sorry, I’m in Canada working.”
Zimbio: They don’t know you’re Mila Kunis online though.
Mila Kunis: They’re like, “What do you do?” I’m like, “I’m a teacher.” It never made sense to anybody as to why my times kept changing. So it became too hard. I would be sitting here going, “We have to finish this soon. I have a raid at 1 o’clock.” That’s not very professional.
Zimbio: Those guilds must be missing a lot without you.
Mila Kunis: I was a gnome mage and my two things were alchemy and tailoring. And then I did jewel crafting for a minute when that came out.
Zimbio: When That ‘70s Show finally wrapped, what did you steal or keep from the set?
Mila Kunis: What I stole was the little chair in the basement. There was a chair that had a pillow on top of it. It was like a rainbow pillow and it was circular. It’s in my house. I stole that. We all took something. Everybody has something. I’ll tell you, that’s about it though. The rest I won’t say but I stole the little orange chair.
(Bauer Griffin) Robert Downey Jr. had the last laugh on Hollywood naysayers when he landed the box office blockbuster Iron Man. Now that he’s got another franchise in Sherlock Holmes, he’s just rubbing it in. Downey has some choice words about both of his major characters, with the new Sherlock Holmes due out Christmas 2009 and Iron Man 2 May 2010.
Zimbio: We think of Sherlock Holmes as a guy with a pipe and a hat. How do you make him badass?
Robert Downey, Jr.: Part of what’s been really interesting about this process is realizing that so many misconceptions were accepted as the real Sherlock Holmes. In fact, there’s no basis for that when you really go to the source material, at all. Just think about how things are going to get misinterpreted between now and the end of the day. Try 122 years. He had a pipe but it wasn’t curved down around. That was from theater so it didn’t obscure the actor’s face when he was doing Sherlock Holmes on stage. He never wore a deerstalker cap except maybe once for a minute, but even then it was described differently. Even those things aren't really quite accurate. Robert Downey, Jr. on the set of Sherlock Holmes.
(Bauer Griffin)
Zimbio: But this doesn’t look like a stodgy, faithful British version of Sherlock Holmes.
Robert Downey, Jr.: We just went back as much as we could, without wanting to be reverent beyond repair to how Arthur Conan Doyle explained the characters. I really do think Doyle was an amazing, amazing writer and storyteller. I didn't really quite know how great he was until we kept reaching out to find quotes and things he had said. He had really philosophical points of view that Doyle expressed through Watson and Holmes.
Zimbio: Was it your decision to make your Sherlock a ripped hunk for shirtless scenes?
Robert Downey, Jr: Here’s what happened. I was in Japan promoting Iron Man and I went to Iron Chef restaurant. I contracted a parasite and I ran with it. I got really sick for three days and I started losing weight and I thought, “Hey, this is a nice jump-start!” No-one ever tells you in Weight Watchers like, “Contract a parasite in Japan and then run with it!” They say, “Starve yourself and be miserable and work out too much.” It just gave me a little nice head-start with the first five pounds and then I kept going until I was so thin, I felt as though I may float away and give people tours of the local area from 500 feet up.
Zimbio: Is there some stiff competition for hottie on the set because Jude Law is Dr. Watson?
Robert Downey, Jr.: By the way, Guy Ritchie typically on set would be like, “You’re alright with that take, Hotson?” And everyone would be like, “Who’s Hotson?” And he’d go, “Well, he’s the hot Watson.” He is so the right arm of this movie. He wanted to go do something undeniably legitimate, so he's doing Hamlet right now. But we, of course, say, “Hamlet, anyone can do that.” He was a huge part of this movie working.
Zimbio: They’re the original bromance.
Robert Downey, Jr.: That's what we really felt. Doyle was giving us the first look at what was essentially a two-hander and Doyle essentially is Watson because he's telling the stories. So the process with Jude really was, we met at Claridge’s hotel in London. So he walks down the hall and my assistant, who never cares about anything, is like standing in the hall. She's like, “Oh my God, there he is!” And, he walks down the hall and, you know, he's dressed in that fabulous, super expensive, underdressed way, and I just said, “Dude…” Before he said he was going to do the movie, before he said he was available, before he said that he didn’t want to be quoted, we just started talking like two serious actors about what would need to happen to make this work as a piece of straight drama. I think we just became really close really quick because we just rolled up our sleeves and started working from jump.
Zimbio: How much fun did you have playing Tony Stark again?
Robert Downey, Jr.: The confidence was higher, but fun was not necessarily the word I would use to describe it. We felt more responsible to spend more time, and we had broadened our cast and horizons. The story is actually significantly more complex and subtle, while you can still follow it. I don’t want to say that it was as fun. It flew by, which was also odd, because we felt every punch, moment, laugh and everything last time. It was a really, really, really trying process to get this done to the best of our ability.
Zimbio: Was the suit any easier this time?
Robert Downey, Jr.: Yeah, it was a little easier. Not enough for my taste.
Zimbio: How is Tony Stark different this time around, now that he’s admitted he’s Iron Man?
Robert Downey, Jr.: Last time, we saw him as this hapless, charming prick who has his ass handed to him, and turns it around and then is almost snuffed by the very person he thought he could trust above everyone else. To dial it back a little bit, you have to imagine that just because someone has a life-changing experience doesn’t really mean they’ve changed. Tony is seeking solace in the archetype. It’s one thing to say you’re Iron Man and it’s another thing to actually be a righteous person. I think he struggles with that because he’s not really all that different.
Zimbio: If Sherlock takes off, can you imagine having two franchises going at the same time?
Robert Downey, Jr.: That’s the plan, but here’s the thing: I wouldn’t be here if Iron Man hadn’t surprised everyone, including ourselves, and become a big hit movie. Despite my 25-year on-going relationship with Joel Silver from my first studio film, Weird Science from 1984, it’s not like he would have said, “You know what? Let’s give you a shot at that . . .” So everything is fed by everything else.
British actor Hugh Dancy (also known as Claire Danes' fiancé) plays the title character in Adam, a sweet, honest film about the connection between a young man with Asperger's Syndrome and his new "neurotypical" neighbor, Beth (played by Rose Byrne). The film maintains a truthful warmth as it explores the struggle to make connections when we can never fully understand what others are thinking. This film is undoubtedly going to be described as some sort of “unlikely pairing” film, as pretty much every semi-romantic film usually is. How unlikely was this pairing to you? I think there is an unlikeliness to it, in the sense that Adam has a particular and a genuine obstacle to overcome when it comes to making any kind of contact with people, in particular a romantic connection. Therefore by default, so does Beth, in trying to reach out to him. The “unlikely pairing” is a good way to describe it…
It’s also the "lingo" for a lot of romantic comedies…
It is, I think that’s absolutely right... I think that the reasons for a pairing to be unlikely have diminished a great deal. There is no longer really such a rigid class system that works as a barrier to romance. Particularly, there aren’t the racial divides...I’m not sure that anybody ever made that romantic comedy, but you know, they’re just not there. They’re kind of fading away. So when they’re kind of invoked often nowadays to make a romantic comedy, it feels a little forced or formulaic, and therefore you get the quote unquote “Romcom.” In this movie, Asperger’s serves as a natural, genuine, and convincing obstacle to romance, and therefore [it's] a genuinely unlikely pairing. And in that sense, Adam fits the description in a pure way, of romantic comedy, in that it’s character-driven. But yet beyond that, it’s not a description that I think sums up the movie. Not in that boiled down, genre way, no.
To prepare for this role, you did a lot of research online, reading first-person accounts about what it’s like to have Asperger’s. What was the most surprising thing you learned in your research?
It’s a remarkable and rich area; there was never a point that it stopped being surprising. I think the most central and valuable lesson that I had to learn, or rather, relearn I suppose, is that within this “bracket” or beneath this description of Asperger’s and that label, the variety of people that I met and the variety of personalities was just vast. And I had to get beyond the point of learning about all the shared qualities—which was also an important thing for me to do, but I had to be able to move beyond, to start thinking about Adam individually, and to do credit to Max’s script.
Was there any Asperger's consultant that you had on the set of the film?
We didn’t have anybody on set, no. There’s a group called Adaptations in New York which works with people with Asperger’s, and I was able to connect with them and meet people through them. But no, when it came time to shoot the movie, we did not have somebody there. And I think that’s a good thing, actually.
The person I had at my side all the way through was Max. Max was my support and… thank God it was him, personally as well, ‘cause he’s such a great friend now. And that was a little odd, as well, because it was kind a of little private conversation going on between us—I mean not literally, we didn’t go huddle in a corner by ourselves, but we had this shared language that was kind of unique to us. It was really rewarding.
You've mentioned your love of Max's writing several times. Are you a writer?
No. I’ve not sat down to try and write an original screenplay. I’ve got more confidence now than I used to in my ability to present useful notes on other people’s work, to think that bringing my voice to bear on a project can actually be productive and positive. And I suppose beyond just, you know, saying ‘I think this sentence would work better,’ but a broader comment... but that’s very very different. That’s not the same as originating material, and not something I particularly think is my gift.
I also wonder which process is more grueling for you: promoting the huge-money blockbuster, or the indie film?
In a way, promoting a huge money blockbuster is logistically easier because you sit in one place and everybody comes to you. You rarely end up in San Francisco, because people go to LA, you just sit in a hotel room, which takes less time but is more tedious. There’s also less to say, let’s face it.
“Do you like shoes?”
Yeah, really. While promoting Confessions of a Shopaholic, I couldn’t tell you the number of people that asked me if I "spoke Prada." There’s only so many times you can respond to that with any kind of warmth. Or even a lack of hatred.
When did you decide to pursue a career in acting?
It happened kind of in the recesses of my mind. I started acting in school when I was about 13 or 14, and when I was about 17 I realized that I had to start thinking about a career, and my peers were thinking about their careers, and as soon as I thought about it it became clear to me that I’d already made up my mind at some point. There was no conscious moment that happened, but I realized there was nothing more to think about.
Tracy Morgan is funny. Don’t try to be funnier than Tracy Morgan. He’ll beat you every time. It’s still awesome though. In his last movie, G-Force, he voiced a guina pig. It made a crushing $117 million in the box office. On television, he plays "Tracy Jordan," an unbridled, unhinged eccentric movie star whose day job is on a sketch television show. We all know what it's called. So we caught up with this man, one of the funniest working actors/comedians and just started shooting questions at him. Here are the results. Enjoy.
Tracy Morgan: Fred! Hey, Fred! What’s up, Fred? I love the name Fred. It’s like a real man's name. "Fred." Hey, Fred. Everybody loves Fred. It’s like Fred and Norman. I love those names.
Zimbio: Thank you. Now, even though your last movie [G-Force] was for kids, this interview is for grown-ups, okay?
Tracy Morgan: Cool. I ain’t telling you where the bodies are buried though. I ain’t gonna tell you where the body’s buried! I’m not letting nobody know where my man is buried out. What was his name? The guy they said is buried under Giants stadium? Hoffa.
Zimbio: Is G-Force a movie Tracy Jordan would have done?
Tracy Morgan: No, G-Force is a movie Tracy Morgan did. Tracy Jordan is just a figment of somebody’s imagination. Wait a minute, you waited three days to ask me that question like that? Oh boy. No, Tracy Jordan doesn’t really exist. Only on TV he exists. Let me tell you something. Tracy Morgan is not a part of Tracy Jordan. Tracy Jordan’s just a part of a Tracy Morgan. Just a small part. If you think Tracy Jordan is interesting, you gotta meet Tracy Morgan, bro. That dude rocks.
Zimbio: That’s why I wanted to talk to you. So was the role of Blaster originally written for an African-American guinea pig?
Tracy Morgan: Was the role of blaster originally written for an African-American guinea pig? Is that what you just asked me? What kind of question is that, dude? That’s not a funny question. There’s no such thing as an African-American guinea pig. You’re trying to get me to step on landmines, my friend.
Zimbio: Hmm, better stick to safer territory... So what’s going on next season on 30 Rock?
Tracy Morgan: Probably just more of the same stuff. I’m quite sure the writers have something. They’re conspiring to make the season great and make it really funny and make people laugh.
Zimbio: What’s your favorite thing about Tracy Jordan?
Tracy Morgan: My favorite thing about Tracy Jordan is that he has $300 million and he’s an international movie star. It’s fun because I look forward to Nick at Nite. I look forward to the 30 Rock marathon on New Year’s Eve. Things like that.
Zimbio: I like that he’s so earnest, like he said he’s really never taken a photo before.
Tracy Morgan: [Laughs] That’s funny. That character is really hilarious.
Zimbio: Who is the most famous person on your speed dial?
Tracy Morgan: Jesus Christ. [I have a] direct line to him.
Zimbio: How do you feel when you wake up in the morning?
Tracy Morgan: Any day above ground is a good day.
Zimbio: What would make this interview more fun?
Tracy Morgan: If you were drunk.
Zimbio: It’s not even noon yet.
Tracy Morgan: Even before noon.
Zimbio: What does it feel like to be Tracy Morgan right now?
Tracy Morgan: I don't know, I’ve been Tracy Morgan for 40 years. It’s been so long that it’s normal to me. I’ve never stepped outside of me but I can imagine it must be cool. It feels cool. I love me. I love ME. God gave me life to live and I love it. My life is like an adventure. It’s just cool. It’s ups and downs. I feel normal, like everyone else.
Zimbio: And to have hit movies and a hit TV show must be gratifying.
Tracy Morgan: That’s gotta be cool, isn’t it? Not bad for a kid that went to public school, huh? Not bad for a kid out of the public school system. And they say the public school system don’t work.
Zimbio: Well, they don’t leave any children behind.
Tracy Morgan: No, they don’t leave nobody behind.
Zimbio: Our time’s almost up so I hope I didn’t leave anything out.
Tracy Morgan: No, I think you’ve asked me everything under the sun.
Zimbio: Well, I hope you had fun with it.
Tracy Morgan: Yes, I love it. Thank you.
Zimbio: No, thank you.
Tracy Morgan: Thank you for documenting everything. Thank you.
Actress Megan Fox onstage at the Toronto International Film Festival Midnight Madness screening "Jennifer's Body" film introductions held at the Ryerson Theatre on September 10, 2009 in Toronto, Canada. (September 9, 2009 - Photo by Jason Merritt/Getty Images North America) More pics >>
In Transformers, Megan Fox was better eye candy than the special effects. But in Jennifer’s Body, she actually gets to act. It helps that she's spouting dialogue from the pen of screenwriter Diablo Cody, the Oscar-winning scribe behind Juno. The very funny horror flick follows the adventures of high school queen bee Jennifer (Fox), a cheerleader possessed by a demon that eats boys in order to stay pretty. Sounds like a fair trade.
Zimbio: Don’t you think, if given full disclosure that you were going to kill them, a lot of guys would still opt to have a night with you?
Megan Fox: [Laughs] I don't think so.
Megan Fox lays one on the cheek of Jennifer's Body costar Johnny Simmons at the film's premeire. (Getty Images) Zimbio: Is this movie going to change people’s perceptions of you?
Megan Fox: I couldn’t tell you that. I don’t know. I would hope so, but I can’t answer that question.
Zimbio: Should we be making such a big fuss about the girl-on-girl kiss scene?
Megan Fox: It is a big fuss.
Zimbio: I’m sorry I don’t have a rose with me, but how should a sincere guy approach you in real life?
Megan Fox: Just be honest about who they are. I hate when people put on a façade or a shell for you to see. I like when people are vulnerable and real.
Zimbio: Since you probably couldn’t cover up eating people in real life, how do you stay in such great shape?
Megan Fox: Recently I started training with a new trainer. He makes me do a lot of pilates and a lot of yoga, something called AcroYoga. Zimbio: It must be traumatic to revisit high school, even for a movie. Did you ever have an awkward phase in high school? Megan Fox: Yeah, every day was very awkward for me in high school.
Zimbio: Come on, you must have been the star of the school.
Megan Fox: I actually was not the sh-t in high school. I was sort of, not an outcast, but I didn’t have a ton of friends and I went to a really small Christian school.
Zimbio: I’m sorry.
Megan Fox: I’m sorry too. I got picked on and I ate lunch in the bathroom because I was afraid of getting picked on in the cafeteria.
Zimbio: Well, f-ck those people.
Megan Fox: It’s okay. Yeah, f-ck them. I was a loner and I think that’s okay. If I were not to give a message, because that’s lame, but to anybody who is a loner, it’s perfectly acceptable to be that. You don’t have to run with the cliques.
Zimbio: Have you been waiting to show us your funny side?
Megan Fox: Show the press that side of me? Thanks. That’s just how I am. That’s my personality. So when I’m allowed to talk…
Zimbio: And you bring that to Jennifer in the movie.
Megan Fox: I have an extremely sarcastic, sardonic sense of humor, so it fell in line with me very well.
Why She Sizzles: She’s so lovely, she makes us want to buy spray-on makeup.
When We First Fell in Love: She played deliciously ditzy Chrissy Snow on Three’s Company before ABC found another blonde.

Career Lows: Her Broadway debut, "The Blonde in the Thunderbird," closed shortly after its opening due to harsh reviews. At least she has a successful career hawking jewelry and cosmetics on the Home Shopping Network.

“Work”: She’s admitted to Botox and collagen injections, and in 1991 the National Enquirer ran a photo of her leaving a Beverly Hills plastic surgery clinic where she’d gotten liposuction. She appeared on Larry King Live, saying that she was recovering from breast cancer and had undergone surgery to “even things out” after her mastectomy.
One of my biggest hopes going into fashion week was that I'd get the chance to catch up with an ex-ANTM girl. At the MCM New York launch party last night, my dreams came true: I got to chat with Cycle 6's Jade Cole. Yes, that Jade: the snapping poet whose hair Tyra chopped off and dyed orange.
Ms. Cole's been out of the country for a while, working in South Africa and Hong Kong (she joins the ranks of many an ex-ANTM model, including Cycle 5 winner Nicole). She's just moved to Los Angeles, where she's breaking into the film industry - she stars in Jamie Foxx's newest music video. She's also writing an autobiography about her life before America's Next Top Model, which will include some of the poetry that made her the cycle's most famous contestant.
When asked about the current season, in which all the contestants are under 5'6", Jade was frank: "It's kind of sad because [Tyra's] giving false hope to young girls. Because in this harsh reality of the fashion world, let's face it, being 5'6"...it's not going to happen."
