Have they even confirmed that they are in a relationship yet? Anyways, real life lovebirds Drew Barrymore and Justin Long star in a new movie about long distance relationships and the trailer looks . . . eh. My experience with romantic comedies though, is that bad trailer = good movie and good trailer = bad movie. Got it? Watch the trailer below and start making predictions.
Simon Cowell on Oprah – Watch the Clips
Simon Cowell made an Oprah appearance, as a send off to his last season on ‘American Idol.’ He acknowledged many of the criticisms that we’ve all been talking about, which reminds me of why I like Cowell so much in the first place. He’s real. He blamed the sinking ratings on Paula’s exit, but I’m sure he bit his tongue on many of the other complaints. Watch some clips below.

Megan Fox v. Michael Bay: The Quote Showdown – A Timeline
In honor of Megan Fox’s departure from Transformers 3, I have listed all of the quotes from both Michael Bay and Megan Fox, to illustrate just how much these two hated each other. Grab your popcorn and start reading!
Megan Fox on ‘Transformers’ in General – Entertainment Weekly Interview (June 2009):
“The humans are secondary to the robots because it’s a movie about robots… People are well aware that this is not a movie about acting. And once you realize that, it becomes almost fun because you can be in the moment and go, ‘All right, I know that when he calls Action! I’m either going to be running or screaming, or both.'”
Michael Bay Responds to Megan Fox’s Entertainment Weekly Interview – Wall Street Journal Interview (June 2009)
“Well, that’s Megan Fox for you. She says some very ridiculous things because she’s 23 years old and she still has a lot of growing to do. You roll your eyes when you see statements like that and think, “Okay Megan, you can do whatever you want. I got it.” But I 100% disagree with her. Nick Cage wasn’t a big actor when I cast him, nor was Ben Affleck before I put him in “Armageddon.” Shia LaBeouf wasn’t a big movie star before he did “Transformers”—and then he exploded. Not to mention Will Smith and Martin Lawrence, from “Bad Boys.” Nobody in the world knew about Megan Fox until I found her and put her in “Transformers.” I like to think that I’ve had some luck in building actors’ careers with my films.”
Megan Fox on what it’s like to work for Michael Bay – Wonderland Magazine interview (September 2009):
“God, I really wish I could go loose on this one. He’s like Napoleon and he wants to create this insane, infamous mad-man reputation. He wants to be like Hitler on his sets, and he is. So he’s a nightmare to work for but when you get him away from set, and he’s not in director mode, I kind of really enjoy his personality because he’s so awkward, so hopelessly awkward. He has no social skills at all. And it’s endearing to watch him. He’s vulnerable and fragile in real life and then on set he’s a tyrant. Shia and I almost die when we make a Transformers movie. He has you do some really insane things that insurance would never let you do.”
Michael Bay’s Crew Responds to Megan Fox’s “Hitler” Comments – His Website (September 2009)
“When facing the press, Megan is the queen of talking trailer trash and posing like a porn star. And yes we’ve had the unbearable time of watching her try to act on set, and yes, it’s very cringe-able. So maybe, being a porn star in the future might be a good career option. But make-up beware, she has a paragraph tattooed to her backside (probably due her rotten childhood) — easily another 45 minutes in the chair!”

Michael Bay Takes Down His Crew’s Nasty Letter and Posts a New Comment (September 2009):
“I don’t condone the crew letter to Megan. And I don’t condone Megan’s outlandish quotes. But her crazy quips are part of her crazy charm. The fact of the matter I still love working with her, and I know we still get along. I even expect more crazy quotes from her on Transformers 3.”
Michael Bay’s Letter to Megan Fox When he Announced the Date for Transformers 3 (October 2009):
“P.S. Megan Fox, welcome back. I promise no alien robots will harm you in any way during the production of this motion picture. Please consult your Physician when working under my direction because some side effects can occur, such as mild dizziness, intense nausea, suicidal tendencies, depression, minor chest hair growth, random internal hemorrhaging and inability to sleep. As some directors may be hazardous to your health, please consult your Doctor to determine if this is right for you”
Michael Bay Insists he Likes Megan Fox – Interview With USA Today (November 2009):
“I love her,” the man responsible for the blockbuster franchise told USA TODAY’s Andrea Mandell. “It’s just, she’s young. Everyone’s got to give her a break, she only…23? It’s just hard. I’ve traveled around the world with her and she’s just like this world symbol now, you know?” So he brushes her diatribes under the carpet? “Absolutely,” he said. “She called me (after the Hitler comment) and goes, ‘It’s all bullsh—t, Mike.’ The press, they just like to prey, and stalk, and pounce and find a good little juicy thing. But she’s always wanted to do these crazy comments. That’s just her. She’s great.” He also said, “She’s got a great part in Transformers 3,” and he said he’s currently working on the script. So Bay’s not planning on getting revenge by, say, killing her off? “No, no. no,” he said, dismissing it. “She gets enough of that already.”
Megan Fox on Michael Bay making her tan- Allure magazine interview (May 2010):
“I had been tanning a lot so that Michael would be happy with my skin tone. Every spare moment of sun that was outside, I had to be in it,” the 24-year-old actress lamented in Allure magazine. “It’s not going to happen again because of the damage and the possible skin cancer.”
Deadline Hollywood Reports that Megan Fox Got the Axe (yesterday):
Nikki Finke reports: “I’ve just learned that Paramount won’t be picking up Megan Fox’s option on Transformers 3 — and that it was “ultimately” director Michael Bay’s decision.”
Megan Fox Insists She Quit Transformers and Wasn’t Fired:
“It was her decision not to return. She wishes the franchise the best.”

Michael Bay Fires Megan Fox on ‘Transformers 3’ – Did She Want to be Fired?!
Michael Bay decided not to exercise Megan Fox’s option on the third Transformers movie, and Hollywood is abuzz that her career is basically over. My take? She wanted to be sacked. Michael Bay joins Brett Ratner on my list of director douchebags in Hollywood, and Fox had no qualms about publicly exposing this. She made the press rounds insulting Michael Bay, often calling him a tyrant, and equating him to Hitler. She was portrayed as an ungrateful newcomer for doing so, but she isn’t the first. Bruce Willis also went on the record to insult Michael Bay (who he worked with on ‘Armageddon’). When asked if Michael Bay would make a good director for Die Hard 4, Willis said that Bay would have “ruined” the movie, and that “few people will work with him now, and [Willis] will never work with him again.” Perhaps Megan Fox didn’t want to undergo more torture so she came up with a crafty way to get the shit can.
Jonathan Alperyrie is Whitney Port’s Mysterious French Photographer on ‘The City’
After scouring the internet for way too long, I discovered the name of the steamy French photographer that shot Whitney Port’s look book on last night’s ‘The City.’ His name is Jonathan Alpeyrie, and I’ve listed his website below. I dedicated such an insane amount of time locating his name because . . . well, I’m pretty shallow and he’s very good looking. Aside from that, he really is talented. I hope that Whitney will come to her senses and go on another date with the guy, but after seeing her eyes glaze over when he brought up a heavy subject involving something other than clothes and glitter, I imagine she’ll stay uninterested. Sigh – perhaps she’ll find someone she has more in common with.

Desperate Housewives Spoiler: Kyle MacLachlan is Leaving the Show
This news certainly shocked me. Kyle MacLachlan or “Orson Hodge” will be leaving ‘Desperate Housewives’ after four seasons with the show. If you watch ‘Desperate Housewives’, you might have noticed that his character is extremely under-used, so either he was fired because Marc Cherry couldn’t dream up a compelling story-line, or he asked to leave because he felt creatively stifled. Either way, I’m disappointed. Perhaps it’s my love for ‘Sex and the City’ that attached me to his character, but its always upsetting when a series regular leaves the show.
