Megan Fox Proves Acting Isn’t Everything in Hollywood
Two things are generally accepted truths about Megan Fox: she is exceedingly beautiful and she can’t act to save her life. But she’s great at getting press. Rumors of her possibly getting another acting role cause tsunamis of media attention. The most recent is of the actress (and I use the term loosely) possibly starring in a movie about Hall of Fame pitcher Old Hoss Radbourn called “Fifty-Nine in ‘84”. She might be playing his seductress. It’s a role that suits her. She has become famous not for her skills, but because men enjoy picturing her naked, and they are willing to pay to see a film in which she might flash some skin.
Megan Fox: Making sure the media is still following.
She is also famous for her ability to steal the spotlight. Everyone loves a Hollywood wedding, and wearing her engagement ring from former 90210 star Brian Austin Green in June kept the cameras on her. They had broken up, but reunited and then got married a month later in a private ceremony. Was it just a wave of love that swept the couple into a quickie wedding?
Probably not. Brian Austin Green, prior to meeting young Megan, had been engaged to and had a child with actress Vanessa Marcil. Their breakup was about as ugly as a breakup can be. But they share a child, and they clearly don’t have issues using him against each other. Marcil was engaged to CSI:NY star Carmine Giovinazzo, and had undoubtedly told her ex about their upcoming, very private wedding—to ensure that her son would be in attendance. When Megan found out, she must have pitched a hissy fit suitable of a spoiled 24 year-old. Clearly, she wanted to eclipse Green’s 41 year-old ex-fiancee’s wedding and have one of her own. So she worked her sex-kitten magic on Green and decided to beat Marcil to the punch.
So they had their romantic ceremony on the beach in Hawaii, with only Green and Marcil’s son in attendance. Then they released the photos and video to every press outlet on earth.
When Marcil and Giovinazzo got married in their own small ceremony a few weeks later, it became barely a footnote to the media, since they decided not to make a big deal out of it. So far, not one photo of the wedding has been seen in magazines or online. But was taking the high road just the way the couple rolls?
Probably not. It had the lovely effect of making their love seem so pure and intimate (which it might very well be), but also made Fox and Green look like attention-seeking media whores.
That the weddings happened so close together is suspect at the least. It won’t take long to see whether the attention-seeking Fox plans to stay in a peaceful, press-less marriage, or whether she’ll need some more controversy to keep herself going. It’s not like directors and producers are lining up to give her juicy acting roles.
Does anyone have a stopwatch?
