I have a theory.
Megan Fox is a terrible actress…but she is super hot. Since her acting skills are pretty much nil, the people behind the machine decided to concentrate on her hotness.
In order to make Megan appear even sexier and more desirable, they faked the big break-up to give millions of guys (and gals) the very tiniest glimmer of hope that she is actually available to them.
Meanwhile..she is seen all over the place with her former fiance Brian Austin Green and his son doing normal relationship stuff. I guess the plan worked. Megan blew up last year and was declared to be the most beautiful chick in existence several times. Of course, MF says she is much more than just a pretty face and hot body and it “hurts her” every time she hears she is a sex symbol. Whatev Megan. You’re lucky everyone still wants you with that dumb ass Marilyn tattoo on your forearm.
