Megan Fox struck a few dramatic poses for the April issue of Harper’s Bazaar UK, which hits newsstands this Thursday, March 4. Just as in her recent spread for W, Megan’s interview touched on her recent sexy campaign for Armani. Conversation turned, though, to more personal topics like her sex life, being a stepmother to Brian Austin Green’s seven-year-old son Kassius, and her career. Megan said:

Here is Megan Fox on the April cover of Harper’s Bazaar UK (nothing is online yet). It’s not a terrible cover shot, and the additional Bazaar photos (courtesy of The Daily Mail) aren’t bad either. The only thing that I’ve noticed about Megan - and I noticed this when I was looking at the photos from her W Magazine shoot - is that Megan never really “transforms” for a photo shoot. She’s not a compelling subject matter. Either she looks “sexy” or she’s just there, or both. Eh. As far as the interview, the biggest soundbite seems to be this: “I’ve only been with two men my entire life…My childhood sweetheart and Brian [Austin Green].” Now, personally, I believe her. I think she probably has been with only two men, quite honestly. But I think she’s announcing it to be more like Angelina Jolie, who was widely reported to have claimed back in 2007 that she had “only been with four men.” I’m just saying!
She’s the sexiest starlet in Hollywood but that doesn’t mean Megan Fox sleeps around, in fact, the sultry brunette says she’s only had two lovers.
“I’ve only been with two men my entire life,” she tells the UK edition of Harpers Bazaar magazine. My childhood sweetheart and Brian [Austin Green]. I can never have sex with someone that I don’t love, ever. The idea makes me sick. I’ve never even come close to having a one-night stand.”
Rather than hitting the party circuit, Megan says her life revolves around Brian and his seven-year-old son Kassius.
“I am a stepmother to the fullest extent. I have looked after Kassius since he was three and he has no memory of life without me.
“For some reason, no-one wants to look at me that way, but I am responsible (for him) and I’ve never struggled with that, from bedtime stories to the school run.”
But in rare reflective mood Megan gets something else about her image off her chest: “My biggest regret is that I’ve assisted the media in making me into a cartoon character. I don’t regret what has happened to me, but I regret the way I have dealt with it.”
Megan’s new movie Jonah Hex, a supernatural western features Josh Brolin and Michael Fassbender — as well as her first sex scene.
“I had on underwear and silicone covers that you wear over your breasts,” she says. “My body parts are all I have left now that are only mine — the world owns everything else.”
She admits her own sense of style is much more low key - although she does admire the style of other celebrities, in particular that of Rihanna.
“It would be nice to be like Rihanna and go to Burger King in six-inch heels and a mini-dress. It’s admirable. But I don’t have the motivation.”
Starring opposite Mickey Rourke in a new serious film, Passion Play, and about to film the third instalment of Transformers, Fox says she is also looking forward to taking an even more creative path in her acting career.
“Really it’s about reading and loving something. It’s not about blockbusters or money. Sure, I’m tied into a franchise that makes so much money, but that means my other projects can be for love. From here on in, I want to make films that I want to watch myself.”

I think she’s trying to change her image from what she perceives as the misogynistic view of “oversexed slut” to something more demure. But here’s my question to all of you: do any of us really see her as an “oversexed slut”? I never disliked Megan because I thought or think she has too much sex, with too many men. I dislike her because I think she’s a moron who should shut the hell up with her asinine statements like “I’m a borderline personality - or that I have bouts of mild schizophrenia.” Or anything from this interview. Or when she compared Michael Bay to Hitler. That is why I dislike her. Not because she has sex. But she’s too stupid to realize it.

Megan Fox spent her Monday afternoon shopping in LA with Brian Austin Green and his seven-year-old son Kassius. She recently opened up about her love for children during her interview in the March issue of W, and Megan certainly spends a great deal of timing bonding with Kassius. Yesterday was all about couple time, with Megan and Brian stepping out to grab coffees by themselves. They're together again now that Megan's back from working on Passion Play with her big fan Mickey Rourke in New Mexico, and she's getting back into her home routine after her Super Bowl thumb double controversy.

Finally, W Magazine released their full interview with Megan Fox for the March issue. They’ve also released the full slideshow (here), of which I can only say that Megan is at times a very pretty girl, but she’s a sh-tty model. She has the same vague expression in every f-cking photo! Ridiculous. Anyway, the interview is epic, to say the least, although there seems to less stupidity and more caution in Megan’s quotes. Almost as if Megan was forced by her management team to try to be less of an a–hole. Shocking! Even though she’s already said some dumb things (that we covered earlier today), Megan still comes out with a few gems, like her thoughts on how she’s probably Native American, and her blatant hypocrisy on her fame monster. Here’s more:
On her Armani campaign: “There are some women you could put in underwear and photograph them, and it looks really classy and it doesn’t necessarily provoke a pinup image. But with me it does, immediately, as soon as I’m in underwear. I’m a Vargas girl. So they were really conscious of that on set, trying to make sure that it didn’t look like we were doing a Victoria’s Secret campaign or a men’s magazine. They wanted it to look like fashion.” Fox shrugs. “Which is hard to do with me.”
On trying to be fashionable: “Being super fashion-forward and always stepping out in the latest whatever is out there, being a constant fashion plate, like a Rihanna or whoever—that, to me, seems exhausting.” But in her regular life, Fox says, fashion is “part of your marketing, and I don’t want to market myself as a high-gloss magazine cover every time I walk out of the house.”
On celebrity and fame: “It’s an immense amount of pressure, celebrity itself,” she says. “I didn’t create that. I didn’t sign up for that; I didn’t know that was going to happen. It created itself.” Fox halts, suddenly aware that a great many of her own choices—telling a men’s magazine in 2008, for instance, that her (made-up) stripper girlfriend “smelled like angels”—make such denials sound a little ridiculous. “[It’s happened] with my assistance, obviously,” she quickly adds. “Whatever. But it’s so big and it’s so much. Such a good portion of it is so negative. I think that if you are receptive to anything, if you feel anything ever, it’s impossible not to let it affect your life.”
On filming in New Mexico: “When you first get here, you’re like, Holy f—ing s—, there’s nothing. I’m toying with the idea that because I come from an Indian background, Cherokee Indian, that maybe there’s something about the land [here] that is comforting to a past life I’ve had, ancestors or something,” she continues. It’s a rare moment of spiritual-speak for Fox, and she pauses, as if mentally conjuring the headline. “I like it here,” she finishes. “I don’t know if I could live here, but I do like it here.”
The full “I’m really maternal” quote: “No one believes me when I talk about this, but I’m really, really maternal. I worry that because I’ve always wanted [kids] so much, as the world goes sometimes, I won’t be able to have them, even though I would be able to provide them with such an amazing environment. And you know, the people who hate kids and don’t want kids always end up having 50 of them.”
Anxiety hinders her acting performance: “My main weakness is nerves. I have no confidence, and because of that I’m always second-guessing myself. That allows you to be false, and you can’t do that. You have to be honest; you gotta believe what you’re about to say. So once I get through the nerves, if ever, and sometimes it does happen, that’s when I’m able to have genuine moments.” She is quick to offer that she doesn’t believe acting is her biggest talent; she says she’s “marginally talented at a lot of things.”
On her “talent”: “There’s a million people I could name who are more deserving of the parts that I get and the life that I’m living,” she says. Asked if she’s envious of anyone in Hollywood, Fox raises her eyebrows, as if the answer to this question is obvious. “Everybody, maybe? Anyone who’s got any sort of legitimate accolades.”
On the fashion industry: “Well, it’s completely non-sensical. It operates—it’s its own monster and there are no laws to it. There’s no logic. And that’s interesting to me. I couldn’t survive in it, I couldn’t do it as my job, I couldn’t live in it everyday. It would make me crazy. You have so many brilliant people who are artistically gifted operating on these high levels of adrenaline everyday. I like to admire it from afar.”
On the two types of people who struggle in Hollywood: “One type is the type that’s incredibly gifted and on a level where they’re operating as geniuses artistically, and there’s a line between artistic genius and crazy and its very razor thin. And you have those people who get very confused living in Hollywood for many years, it f-cks with you. And then you have a totally different kind of person who gets sucked into it and manipulated by it and bulldozed by it. I feel like I’ve always been able to be really objective. I’ve always been on the outside, even of myself. So that allows me to not get too affected by it. It hasn’t destroyed my life yet.”
On donating to charity: “I work privately with some charities but I am not ready to come out and say, hey guys, I do charity, look at me. I just feel like its no longer charity if my image is somehow benefiting from it—I feel like I’m exploiting these people. I know that the argument is that you’re supposed to use your celebrity to encourage others to do good, and I get that. But I think there will be a time and a place for that and right now I’d rather keep it private.”
On managing her low self-esteem and “self-loathing”: “I choose very private moments to let it out. I’ve grown up with it, so its not like all of a sudden I’m suffering from depression or something that is unfamiliar to me. I’ve had it my whole life. It just is a part of my personality. I don’t ever do anything and go, “That was awesome. You did a good job.” I look at photos of myself and think, “Wow, I looked really gorgeous that night!” Or, “This working out is really paying off!” I never, ever, ever think that. There’s a million and one things that I’ve fallen short on all of the time in my mind. And you can’t—there’s not really a way to manage that, unless you want to go on meds, which I don’t need to do. I just drink a lot of green tea and meditate at night.”

This was totally one of the best interviews Megan has ever done. Sure, she still said some crazy sh-t, but nowhere near the kind of crap that was coming out of her mouth every day on the Transformers promotional trail. Sigh… do I miss the old Megan? Maybe. She was fun to write about and smack around verbally. But I’m also kind of happy that Megan has begun to learn that she can’t or shouldn’t continue to just say whatever inane, rude, idiotic crap that comes to mind. Out little idiot is growing up! Mama’s so proud.
