Celebrity Psychings

18th Annual MTV Movie Awards - Show

Last month, Megan Fox shared some pretty personal issues during a Rolling Stone interview – personal to the the tune of a past filled with self-injury and issues with self-loathing, anger, and violence – some of which she seems to have a handle on, and some of which she seems to still be dealing with.

During my thoughts on the interview (thoughts which mostly dealt with OTHER people’s thoughts), I mused on how callus we, the public, can be when it comes to the mental health issues of celebrities – people many of us assume should just be happy because of their fame and fortune. Some of you had thoughts similar to mine and some of you had differing opinions, but for the most part everyone seemed to agree that the public clings to this information in the ways we do because Megan Fox is a celebrity and because she puts herself out there and that, celebrity or not – lovable celebrity or not – such issues should be taken very seriously.

Now it seems someone else has taken an interest in Megan Fox’s mental health.

After announcing the third installment will hit theaters July 1, 2011, Transformers director Michael Bay suggested Megan Fox “consult with a doctor before getting on board.”

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. (www.michaelbay.com)

Such snark, Mr. Bay.

Granted, Bay and Fox have been “exchanging words” for quite a while – and by “exchanging words,” naturally I’m referring to Fox publicly talking junk about the Transformer movies and Bay’s directing style, and Bay, well, retaliating. Given their history, it’s probably pretty safe to say Bay’s “P.S.” to Fox was in no way related to Fox’s confessions to Rolling Stone. If anything, Bay probably thought he was just being funny.

Still. Let’s play nice this go ’round kiddies. Whadya say?
