COOL SH!T
The Homemade Transformer

Whether as a kid or full grown adult watching the Michael Bay movies, a lot of us have wanted a Transformer of our very own. It’s no wonder. The Transformers are huge, both literally and figuratively. They’ve survived over twenty years. A lot of our attics are full of old Transformer toys, comics, and tapes of the TV show. Anyone who didn’t want to be a Ninja Turtle, Jem, She-Ra, or Spider-Man either wanted a Transformer as a best friend or wanted to be a Transformer (kids have some strange priorities). Well, we’re all grown up now and the future isn’t quite as advanced as we wanted. We don’t have working rocket boots and none of us did become superheroes, but one man really has put together a Transformer of his own!

COOL SH!T
The LEGO Game Boy Transformer

LEGO aficionado and artist Julius von Brunk may have created a mouth-full of nostalgia. What he has dubbed as the “Domaster” is a LEGO-made art piece that’s disguised as a classic first generation Game Boy, but that wasn’t enough. With a few creative snaps, the piece is--wait for it--transformed into a Nintendobot, an awesome take on the Transformers of the same generation. It’s the Turducken of fond late 80s and early 90s memories and an amazing modification to some regular LEGO pieces.

Megan Fox Flaunts Her Flaws

For Megan Fox, with great hotness comes great responsibility. A duty to prove to people that her good looks are perfectly natural and her physical attributes really do make her better than all of us.

In a Facebook album appropriately titled" THINGS YOU CAN'T DO WITH YOUR FACE WHEN YOU HAVE BOTOX", the former Transformers bombshell attempts to prove her face is completely Botox-free. With a couple of pictures, Megan plays up to the camera showcasing her "wrinkles" when she scrunches up her eyebrows and alters her expressions.

GLAM DAMN IT
Style Star: Rosie Huntington-Whitely

Back in the early 90s, Rosie Huntington-Whitely was no more than a smalltown girl living on an English farm. After a major growth spurt at age 13, she went from being teased for her tiny chest and big lips to being voted Most Likely to Become a Supermodel.

She soon became bored of her farm life, and decided to travel to London. At age 16, she was ‘discovered’, and starred in a commercial for Levi’s. Although she couldn’t drive, she spent her entire check on a Ford Ka, wholeheartedly believing it was the only time she would ever get paid for modeling. Needless to say, she was wrong.

ALMOST FAMOUS La Beouf and Fox
LaBeouf Needs to LaShush

Wow....who knew cutie Shia was such a big mouth? LaBeouf said way too much during his interview with Details Magazine when conversing about his conquests past romances. Shouldn't celebrities in the limelight know better? Especially when you're at the risk of tainting somebody else's reputation? I smell big trouble...

Actor, Shia LaBeouf, shows off says during the interview:

"Look, you're on the set for six months, with someone who's rooting to be attracted to you, and you're rooting to be attracted to them. I never understood the separation of work and life in that situation. But the time I spent with Megan was our own thing, and I think you can see the chemistry onscreen."

ALMOST FAMOUS Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen UK premiere
Was Spielberg the One to Give Megan Fox the Boot?

Megan Fox can't seem to catch a break. The former Transformers beauty is the center of attention once again as director Michael Bay brings up the infamous war of the words drama that resulted in her replacement.

A little throwback: remember in 2009 when Megan Fox said this about Bay?

"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."

ALMOST FAMOUS
Megan Fox Did Not Turn Down Bond Role

Maybe Megan Fox likes her martinis stirred, after all… according to her reps she did not turn down the role to be in the latest James Bond film alongside Daniel Craig.

For the past few days, numerous websites have reported that Fox turned down the chance to be in the latest Bond flick. One of the first claims against the 23-year-old Transformers beauty came from UK’s Daily Star. The starlet was reported to have told a source that she would “rather be a more central part of the movie.”

Her rep tells Access Hollywood different, “Completely not true. There has been no discussion or no offer. We all are fans of Bond.”

FREQUENCY
Rick Ross vs. 50 Cent Updates

The simmering feud between rappers 50 Cent and Rick Ross has sort of faded into the background in weeks past, with the Chris Brown/Rihanna situation dominating the rumor mills and the general public losing interest in the ongoing rivalry. But just because it hasn’t been at the forefront of the public eye doesn’t mean that the fighting has subsided. In a sort of war attrition somewhat akin to that waged between the United States and the Soviet Union throughout the latter half of the past century, both sides have been quietly tooling themselves up in what can only be described as a strategic arms race.
