Megan Fox Drives Nerds Wild Worldwide with 'Lord of the Rings' Talk
Megan Fox is known for her provocative interview comments. Now, she's turning up the heat in the nerd community by showing a true knowledge of 'The Lord of the Rings.'
The 'Jonah Hex' hottie, an avowed comic book fan, gave an off-the-cuff explanation of how you can never please hardcore comic book and Tolkien purists. More importantly, it showed she speaks nerd fluently.
"I'm a 'Lord of the Rings' fan. And I'll go on the forums," Fox said at the 'Jonah Hex' press day. "And they'll complain that Frodo is eating the Lembas bread outside of Mordor instead of the in the Mines of Moria. And they get really mad."
"You cannot focus completely on pleasing them because you'll never win," Fox continued. "They'll never be happy no matter what you do."
"Peter Jackson and company won like 30 something Oscars for those movies," she added, defending movie license. Well, to be exact, the trilogy won 17 Oscars. But you had us at Lembas, Megan.
Nerd cred has never been hotter. It doesn't matter that she seems
to be engaged. Nerds can still dream.
No movie nerds fainted during the explanation, but there were some impressed looks all around. Even co-star Josh Brolin was stunned into a rare silence before he finally uttered the one word that summed the scene up: "Cool."
Fox plays a prostitute with a heart of gold who stands by Hex through thick and thin -- and shows off a very thin waistline. Discussing her movie corset might have finished off any nerds still standing in the room.
"I loved the corset," she said. "Everyone thought I was in pain or hurting or something was wrong with me because my waist was so small. But I enjoyed it. And I wish they would come back into style."

seriously, how do you people know this stuff?
Yeah all you guys that are looking at her BODY parts and not her brain. She doesn't seem to me that she's making RIGHT choices at this time. She made Michael Bay mad and he's got a Victoria Secret Model to replace her for the next Transformers Movie. Trust me everyone LOVES TRANSFORMERS EVEN MYSELF and I'm a 52 year old Female!

Yesterday's story was 'Megan Fox's New Lingerie Ad'. The day before that, it was 'Megan Fox Dons Revealing Frock'. The day before that, it was 'Megan Fox Loses Wedding Ring'. The day before that...no, before that, it was '12 Days Of Sandra Bullock'; never mind...

I find it annoying when female celebrities feel the need to talk about how interested they are in geeky/nerdy stuff. It all seems so fake. Megan knows who her diehard fans are - boys on the internet. But everytime she talks about how much she loves videogames or LOTR, I roll my eyes.
I like that stuff too, and I'm sure lots of other celebrities do as well. But there's no need to talk about it so much.

Has Megan Fox had plastic surgery since terminator 1?

Umm ok she's a nerd? Really because if she WAS a fan and knew what the hell she was talking about she would actually know that Frodo couldn't eat the Lembas in Moria because they were in Moria BEFORE they ever got the Lembas in Lorien. Yeah she's a total fan and nerd....Here's an idea Megan shut the hell up you NEVER know what you're talking about.

Don't care that she has her facts wrong re LOTR, or that she's an awful actress. The part I have in mind for her is strictly non-speaking, except for a few squeeling noises::wink, wink::
