Give Megan Fox a Break

One of my favorite aspects of following the movie website/blog and fanboy communities is watching how quickly the tide turns on stars. One minute, Christian Bale is the greatest actor to ever live and every major role should go to him so he can turn it down. Then a clunker like T4 hits and all of a sudden, Bale is one dimensional and overrated. The tide shifts faster for actresses and Megan Fox is beginning to learn that. But before you jot down in your diary that you hate her and she's an insufferable bitch, remember that she's a product of what you and I have created. Her over-saturation in the media and her off-putting remarks are our fault, not hers.

Let's try to paint the scenario; imagine you're 20 years old. You're uneducated but attractive, and have been your whole life. You really don't have any direction or anything you want to do, you're just coaxing by on your good looks. Then one day, you "perform" for a big-time director and get cast in a big budget movie. Next thing you know, you're famous. At this point, everyone is telling you how beautiful you are. You can literally point at people and instantly sleep with them. Virtually every man and woman in the world would amputate a limb for the chance of spending one night with you. And the best part...not many people would disagree with that.
