Megan Fox claims 'charity' is her life calling
Megan Fox claims 'charity' is her life calling
MTV

23-year-old actress Megan Fox has announced her life purpose, children's charities. The TRANSFORMERS star claimed she has not yet contributed to charity because she believes she is not yet famous enough to make any kind of difference.

What’s that saying about how the poor man’s five cents shows more love than the rich man's five million?


Following in the footsteps of charitable celebrities Elissa Sursara (actress, animal rights activist), Hayden Panettierre (actress, animal rights activist) and Fox's idol Angelina Jolie (actress, ambassador), Megan claims she would like to "gain the status that will enable me to be truly and legitimately helpful to people."

I appreciate Megan's thought, but I can't help but wonder if this is all a PR ploy to save her tainted image.

Megan Fox shot to fame after TRANSFORMERS, but lost millions of fans when she made no attempts to disguise is a seemingly smug, bitchy and prestige attitude. Commenting on her own pretty looks and claiming men 'are boys', the actress went on to slam director Michael Bay, claimed she would never play Wonder Woman because Wonder Woman is 'lame' and pushed away her audience. When websites cottoned on to the beautiful, yet "ugly" Fox, articles about the actress turned from gushing and admirable to scathing and tactful, particularly when the actress bit the hand that fed her. After news broke that Fox had bad mouthed Michael Bay, members of the TRANSFORMERS crew believed it was time to set the record straight on the actress, posting a letter on Bay's official website that called the actress fake, stupid, bitchy and ungrateful.

Later, in an interview, Fox attempted damage control claiming the letter 'could have been anyone', even suggesting someone from 'a takeout store' probably wrote it. Seems Fox believed an employee of In and Out had hacked Bay's website just to bug her. Come on Megan, I like you, but we know it was the crew.

Many also questioned Fox genuinely, claiming the actress was manipulative in calling herself a geek, a comic book lover and bisexual - three obvious keys to a large male following.

But in a turn of events (also known as a bitch slapping from her PR agent) Fox has taken a step backward, appearing 'down to earth' in interviews, thankful for TRANSFORMERS and now, charitable.

Not such a bad actor, that Megan Fox.

On a personal note, I believe fake charity is better than no charity at all and I don't doubt that Megan Fox has a heart and would help the needy if told when and where to go, or at least where to send her cheque. But the fact that it's taken 3 major films and a media backlash to provoke her new image bothers me. Megan Fox is beautiful, that cannot be debated, but her personality is quite tainted and becoming more faux by the day.

The actress claims she has contributed to come charities before, but I'm sure dying children would rather your money and your time, rather than being photographed on a charity events red carpet before you bail for your Mr. Chows reservation.

On a side note, one of the world's largest Charity websites, Look To The Stars, has a page dedicated to Megan's charity work. Note; the page is currently empty.

Beauty is not everything.
