Fattening Requests

Megan Fox Ordered to Beef Up for Robots

— July 17, 2008 — Pop Culture
Megan Fox has been ordered get fat for robots.  More specifically, for the upcoming sequel to the Transfomers movie. 

Director Michael Bay informed Megan Fox that he doesn’t like skinny girls.  Megan told Fox News, “I’d lost a lot of weight and I got really scrawny, but I was told I had to put on a size for Transformers because Michael doesn’t like skinny girls”

So lets get the the exciting part.  How has she decided to fatten up?  “I eat red velvet cake before I go to bed every night. If you eat meals later, you’ll put on weight faster, so I had dinner at 10pm”

By the way, this isn’t just what happens when I start using MTV as a news source (in which case you would have seen more on Andy Dick and the Emmy Nominations).  Trend Hunter has been following many different views on thin, from skinny models getting banned from the catwalk to… well, to Megan Fox gaining 10 more pounds. ;)
