Megan Fox On Rolling Stone

In yet another topic of sexiness, Megan Fox poses for the cover of Rolling Stone magazine and admits attitudes/experiences we are so familiar of. A sexy girl cutting herself in her teens and still having low self-esteem despite all the fame that's so Angelina Jolie!


Megan Fox tells on her interview with Rolling Stones when asked if she ever cut herself:

"Yeah. But I don't want to elaborate. I would never call myself a cutter. Girls go through different phases when they're growing up, when they're miserable and do different things, whether it's an eating disorder or they dabble in cutting."

The Jennifer's Body star is also candid when talking about her low self-esteem:

"I'm really insecure about everything. I never think I'm worthy of anything... I have a sick feeling of being mocked all the time. I have a lot of self-loathing."

But the sexy star also adds, "Self-loathing doesn't keep me from being happy. But that doesn't mean I don't struggle. I am very vulnerable. But I can be aggressive, hurtful, domineering and selfish, too. I'm emotionally unpredictable and all over the place. I'm a control freak."

As proof of her unpredictable nature, Megan Fox shares some of her moments with on-again-off-again boyfriend Brian Austin Green:

"I've had to say to Brian, 'You have to go and stop talking to me, because I'm going to kill you. I'm going to stab you with something. Please leave. I'd never own a gun for that reason. I wouldn't shoot to kill. But I would shoot him in the leg, for sure."

But when it comes to eating habits and if ever she had an eating disorder before, Megan Fox refuses to say "yes" or "no":

"If I did talk about it, I'd be taking on a role-model status, and I'd have to choose my words very carefully, and I'd have to make sure I reveal it in a specific way, and I don't want to do it."

Ever since Megan Fox has been set to star in the new franchise of the Lara Croft films, people can't keep comparing her from Angelina Jolie. Though the 23 year-old actress from Tennessee hates the comparison, there are things about her that's undeniably similar to La Jolie. Her looks just keep on getting more like Angelina Jolie with each passing day — and her new revelations in the Rolling Stones magazine add to the list.

For more Megan Fox revelations, grab a copy of the newest Rolling Stone issue. For Angelina Jolie's similar words of cutting and low self-esteem, go to the Hilary Magazine and read on the Angelina Jolie interview.

Forbes Most Powerful Celebrity And Actress Is Angelina Jolie

Forbes has released this year's Celebrity 100 list, ranking the world's most powerful celebrities from June 2008 to June 2009.

Angelina Jolie has made it to the top list, edging media maven Oprah Winfrey on the no. 1 spot for most powerful celebrities and snatching from Jennifer Aniston (not again!) the top spot for the most powerful actresses.


Angelina Jolie has made an estimated earning of $27 million last year, courtesy of her action movies Kung Fu Panda, Wanted, and the soon-to-released spy thriller Salt. The media attention from the birth of her twins, humanitarian efforts, and endless gossips and fashion citations have also contributed to her ranking.

Angelina Jolie's husband Brad Pitt ranked 9th on the list, thanks to constant media attention of his family life with the most powerful woman in the world and oh, his Academy Award nomination for doing the lead role in hit flick The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.

Brad Pitt's former wife Jennifer Aniston is on the 8th spot with a $25 million-earning from romantic comedies Marley and Me and He's Just Not That Into You and from the media gossips on her on-again, off-again romance with John Mayer.

Top 10 Most Powerful Celebrities:

1. Angelina Jolie
2. Oprah Winfrey
3. Madonna
4. Beyonce Knowles
5. Tiger Woods
6. Bruce Sprinsteen

Forbes' 100 Most Powerful Celebrities is measured based on money and fame. Money is estimated from earnings made on films, television shows, endorsements, books and other entertainment ventures. Fame is calculated through Web hits on Google Blog Search, TV/radio mentions on LexisNexis, overall press mentions on Factiva, and the frequency of a celebrity's image appearance on the cover of 25 consumer magazines.

This 2009, Forbes' Celebrity 100 list couldn't help but admire La Jolie:

"She's rich. She's talented. She's beautiful. And now Angelina Jolie is the most powerful celebrity in the world."

Why Women Desire Angelina Jolie

Angelina Jolie is Harper Bazaar's cover model for July. Instead of typically providing an interview with the 34-year old actress, the magazine hires feminist author Naomi Wolf to examine the appeal of the sexiest A-list celebrity in Hollywood today.


Naomi Wolf explains that Angelina Jolie's appeal has "women both identify with her and desire her." This, the feminist believes, is "more than simply a physical response."

For the first time in modern culture, Angelina Jolie "brings together almost every aspect of female empowerment and liberation. The feminist concludes that above all, Angelina Jolie has proved that women can be viewed as a symbol of goodness, and also be seen as sexual.

The feminist sees Angelina Jolie's transformation from a wild child to a woman.

The early career of Angelina Jolie in the industry presented her as an eccentric, goth, and attention-seeking starter. But after her first adoption with son Maddox in 2002 and later becoming a goodwill ambassador for the U.N. High Refugee Agency, the actress "seemed more mature, more beautiful, and more serious," says Wolf. It was during that time that "Jolie revealed a new, and fairly radical, vision of single motherhood..."

In 2005, Angelina Jolie was involved in a scandal when Brad Pitt chose to make a new life with her and broke his marriage with Jennifer Aniston. But with little Maddox in her custody, Angelina "has managed the almost unheard-of task of turning the home-wrecker label into a wholesome, family-friendly triumph," says Wolf. "There was little Maddox, who was growing up and clearly enjoying tossing footballs with his mother's new boyfriend. Jolie had managed to head off the scarlet letter by giving a boy an ideal masculine counterpoint."

Even Angelina Jolie's acquired skill of flying a plane was seen as metaphorical by the feminist. "Flying a private plane is the classic metaphor for choosing your own direction; usually, that is a guy thing to do, yet there was Jolie, with her aviator glasses on, taking flying lessons so she could blow the mind of her four-year-old son."

And while some people make jokes about Angelina Jolie's "rainbow family," this is commendable for the feminist. Naomi Wolf sees it as "a delicious in-your-face countermove against conventions about who we are to one another and what 'family' is expected to look like. She seems, without breaking stride, to care for half a football team of children while the rest of us tread water with our own biological offspring."

These feminist interpretations answer why women desire Angelina Jolie - she is ethereal, a standard of beauty that women (and not only men) admire and wanted to emulate.

But with Angelina Jolie's divinity comes her unpredictable nature. Ask what could be life in the future for this world's most beautiful woman, Naomi Wolf says "No way to tell. But I am certain, given the knack she has shown for tapping into this female collective unconscious, that we will watch with more than ordinary interest."

Angelina Jolie Is Erika Salt

Angelina Jolie will once again star as butt-kicking vixen in Phillip Noyce's spy thriller “Salt.”


Originally titled as "Edwin A. Salt," the film produced by Columbia Pictures was supposedly to be played by Tom Cruise. The 46-year old actor who's already a veteran of many action films had long been expected to lead the film. We never knew what went wrong with the deal but when the role was finally handed to the sultry Angelina Jolie, the story was rewritten and the protagonist became Erika Salt.

While the espionage thriller to the film was redrafted, sources said that the project did not require much overhaul to suit the female lead.

As Erika Salt, Angelina Jolie plays a CIA officer accused of being a Russian sleeper spy. She eludes and gets captured by superiors who are convinced that she is out to assassinate the president. While trying to reunite with her family, she struggles to prove someone else is the traitor.


Here's the good news to aspiring young actors out there:

Expected to go into production in February 2009, the film Salt is currently casting for a child actor to portray the role of the young Erika Salt. Check the casting to view the detail. Who knows, you might become the next action goddess like Angelina Jolie!

Angelina Jolie Is Print Model For Vanity Fair

The pregnant Angelina Jolie looks sexier in her round and supple figure. This, she credited to the wonderful experience of pregnancy. Her birth with Shiloh was also a fascinating and miraculous experience that did not give her any pain.
I had a C-Section and I found it fascinating. I didn’t find it a sacrifice and I didn’t find it a painful experience. I found it a fascinating miracle of what a body can do.”

Aside from having children of her own, Angelina Jolie said she always wanted to adopt, knowing that are many children who have no parents. She said she does not feel that adoption is humanitarian, rather something one feels they want to do.

With her as a print covergirl model for Vanity Fair, Blooming Angelina Jolie surely has all the reason to inspire women to feel beautiful while being pregnant. For one, the lovely Hollywood actress got a loving family around her, her husband Brad Pitt finds pregnancy to be sexy, and she's blessed with natural inclination to nurture.
