Megan Fox On Being Smart: ‘I’m Not A Retard’

by Kate Spencer

Here’s some information Megan Fox may want to digest: The first step in getting people to not think you’re a retard is to stop using the word retard. It’s that simple. Still, the starlet spent a great deal of time complaining to Esquire magazine about how difficult it is to prove to people that she’s both smart and sexy. “If you know how to take control of [being a sex symbol], then it can be powerful,” the actress tells the mag. “But I have no idea how to handle it yet, how to deal with it.”

Megan continues her pity party, whining, “…I don’t want to have to go on talk shows and pull out every single SAT word I’ve every learned to prove, like, ‘Take me seriously, I am intelligent, I can speak.’ I don’t want to have to do that. I resent having to prove that I’m not a retard – but I do. And part of it is my own fault.”

Just what has she done to place herself in this predicament? Why, ooze sex appeal, of course. “I’m just really confident sexually, and I think that sort of oozes out of my pores. It’s just there. It’s something I don’t have to turn on.”

No one is assuming Megan’s an idiot just because she’s got great legs and knows how to use ‘em. But when she articulates her frustrations with fame like a 12-year-old girl, what are we supposed to think? [People. Photo: ]
