Megan Fox and her little black dress: Hotter than Angelina Jolie?

Megan-fox_l Like the rest of the straight male species, my jaw dropped right alongside Shia LaBeouf's when Megan Fox bent over his engine compartment in Transformers. The girl is spectacularly hot. Really. But I also thought she was WAY too big for her britches last year when she said she was "much hotter" than Angelina Jolie. "Who does she think she is?" I thought. Megan Fox may be the new "it" girl, but she's got a ways to go before she can touch Ms. Jolie.

Well, this week, now that Fox has titilated the entire planet, I'm starting to wonder if Fox was right. First, she showed up at the Tokyo premiere for Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen showing a whole lotta gams in this purple dress, then yesterday, at the Seoul premiere, she popped my eyes out yet again rocking the black dress pictured here. Jolie can certainly pull it off physically, but I'm not sure she could wear that sheer dress without it coming off as somehow beneath a woman of her Oscar-winning stature. Jolie is elegant, classy, Hollywood royalty, which his precisely why I bristled when Angie-Come-Lately Megan Fox dissed her. But at the same time, in terms of pure, unadulterated "hot" factor, Fox has definitely taken hold of a certain je ne sais quoi that Jolie may have left behind. Certainly, we all want to gawk at post-event red carpet photos of Angie looking fabulous with Brad, but she doesn’t generate the same kind of in-the-moment buzz that Fox gets sporting that black number last night. Looked at another way, Changeling may have been a better movie than Transformers, but it’s pretty obvious which of the two made more "hot" lists. I’m still not giving Fox “hotter than Angelina” status just yet. But yeah, I’m getting there…

So what of it, PopWatchers? Is Megan Fox hotter than Angelina Jolie? Which do we like better, the purple or the black dress?

    Don’t you mean SHEER instead of SHEAR? And so far Fox hasn’t wrecked any marriages, so that’s much more hot than homewrecker Angelina.

  • LauraT

    Certainly Megan Fox is physically sexy, but she seems to have the personality of an annoying tenth-grader. Angie is interesting, complex, and had true edge and danger about her. That’s sexy. Fox sounds like a self-absorbed airhead. That’s so not sexy.

  • Clarissa

    Neither of them are attractive.

  • cara

    Nope, Angelina much hotter and prettier (and more talented, smart and nicer) than Megan. No matter waht Megan wears, she ends up looking trashy, like the girl who dresses slutty who works at the local mall and was born on the wrong side of the tracks. She’s a poor-man’s Jolie for sure.

  • babou

    Oh Mike, you are thinking with the wrong body part. What makes someone sexy is the whole package, how they carry themselves, brains, how they talk, love of family, respect for others and being an overall good person. That je-ne-sais-quoi “it” factor. Angelina has that in SPADES. Megan will be on a what-ever-happened to list within the next 5 years, she looks cheap (and she sounds like an idiot all the time).

  • bijou

    Yuck!! Megan Fox looks like a man in drag!! And her cheap shots lately at everybody in Hollywood and the things she said about middle America yesterday, all that makes her even uglier. Beauty is on the inside out and outside. She looks like a call girl.

  • Ehhh

    Just read an excerpt from her interview in the new Elle where she complains about not being taken seriously because of her looks, etc etc… IMO, she’s got no right to whine when she’s had plastic surgery to look the way she does now. Sheesh.

  • bobjustbob

    Mike, are you sure your attraction antennae does not include trannies?? She looks like a Dude in a dress!! Oh it must be nice to have such cheap standards when it comes to beauty, makes choosing a partner for yourself a lot easier I imagine.

  • Micks

    Megan Fox is hotter than Angelina, of course, either would do in a pinch. I don’t care for tattoos, and both women treat their body like it’s a bathroom wall. But I would put up with the tats, that’s how open minded I am. Megan, Angelina, drop me a line, either of you. Or better yet, both.

  • Jane

    I don’t like either of the actresses, but at least Jolie is interesting in a psychotic sort of way. Fox does nothing for me because she seems so vapid. Look at her eyes and you can see that there’s nothing going on in there. Every time I look at her, I feel like I’m seeing right through her because she lacks substance. For me, substance is what makes a pretty girl hot.

  • PeterBilt The Nature Boy

    Come on!!! Jolie???? Marvin hit it right on the dot. HOMEWRECKER!!! And not very interesting. Changeling? Really? Snore. All you girls are just hataz sippin on the hatorade. Mrs. PeterBilt is not trash.

  • bandit

    Mike you need to head out to a dance club on a Saturday night, cheap looking girls like Megan are a dime a dozen in every cith, no class, kind or pornlike actually. She has no “it” factor, more like the “used-up” factor.

  • stvnsmnd

    I think that she tries too hard to convince people that she is hot, she is more like the poor man’s Angelina, especially if she is going to be playing Laura Croft… 2 movies were more than enough

  • Myma

    I’ll go with the Fox over the holier-than-thou-husband-stealer.

  • Michele

    Angelina wore a dress like that for the Ocean’s 13 premiere in Los Angeles. She looked hot, sexy and classy. While I like Megan Fox she can’t touch Jolie yet. She looks uncomfortable in her own skin and always come across as an Angelina knock-off.

  • Carlos Balbás-Espín

    I remember with absolute clarity when I whispered “Wow!” as I saw her bend over that car. I was on a (third) date. And about that little black dress, which is way better (and by “better” I mean “hotter”) than the purple one, all I can say is: “Damn, woman!”.
    But no, you’re right. She’s still not hotter than Angie.
    A couple of pet peeves: 1) I guess you mean your “JAW dropped” in you opening line. And 2) Angelina’s stature is “Oscar-WINNING” i.e. about five notches above “nominated”, mind you.

  • Julie E.

    While I realize I have to take some of the blame for actually reading this item, I have to say this is one of the most useless posts EVER. MF and AJ are both beautiful. Are we really going to have an argument over who is hotter? WTF? Who cares? What does it matter? And most importantly, do they let just ANYONE post on EW.com these days? If so, how much do they pay, because I have an urgent point to make about the relative hotness of James Franco vs. Robert Pattinson. Apparently that’s all it takes to get on EW.com these days?

  • taylor

    She is much hotter than Angelina Jolie. I don’t think Jolie is as hot as everyone thinks, and she certainly isn’t the hottest woman in Hollywood.

  • jimmyjo

    I agree, what happened to the good writers at EW lately?? Do they hire just anybody now? Does this Mike dude’s previous mag experience include working for Hustler or Maxim??? Yikes, EW, get yourself some new writers and leave these kind of stories to the tabs and men’s mags. I come here for entertainment stories, not who is hotter. Sheesh, so disapointed in EW lately.

  • cara

    Did I just click on EW or Playboy’s site? What next, comparing actresses breasts? How about who has the best 6-pack in Hollywood? EW has certainly changed (and not for the better)

  • Tim

    Since your question is strictly a matter of taste and values this article is pointless. (For instance for me, since Megan can’t act well, ‘hotness’ is irrelevant. It’s also subjective; Megan looks like a poor man’s Jennifer Connelly (at the same age) to me, and again, she can’t act. Fox is likely to be just another bimbo in a long string of ‘it girls’ that flash and fade in a year or two.

  • Quincy

    Who gives a sh*t? How about reporting some news?

  • gd

    ugh. Megan Fox is so BLANK. Even my boyfriend says so! He loves Transformers as much as any 80s baby, but wants to fast forward through all of the Megan Fox parts! I wholeheartedly agree. At least A. Jolie has a soul.

  • tuna

    “but wants to fast forward through all of the Megan Fox parts! I wholeheartedly agree”
    Any man who fast forwards through a Megan Fox scene in Transformers is uh, little…(makes vacuuming motions).

  • what?

    People forget, remember when Angelina was dating Billy Bob & had NO class? Maybe Megan Fox will surprise us & she’s obviously hotter…Oh and Quincy, reporting news? Why oh Why if you’re looking for news are you on this website?

  • sv

    Did EW’s copyeditors escape the budget cuts at TimeWarner? Je ne sais quoi.

    nice post

  • DC Yogini

    Enough with drooling over the ladies… if we’re going to behave like kids give the same coverage to more hot men…like the men of TrueBlood perhaps?

  • Jennifer

    This is seriously the 5th story I’ve seen about that dress today. Anyone else think it’s just not that revealing? Compare it to, say, the firestorms a few years ago about Liz Hurley’s safety pin dress or J. Lo’s cut-down-to-there green Versace. I see women wear dresses like this out to dinner all the time!
