If Not for Michael Bay, No One Would Recognize the Name Nicolas Cage
Vulture —
... after all, few in Hollywood have better BabeDar than he does — but Nicolas Cage? Apparently Bay had forgotten that Nic Cage had already worked with esteemed directors like Francis Ford Coppola, David Lynch, Norman Jewison, and the Coen Brothers before Bay discovered him.

Michael Bay: 'I made Megan Fox'
Celeb Guru —
It seems Transformers director Michael Bay needs to take a rehab break. Apparently, he is disturbed because Megan Fox recently slammed him for focusing more on special effects than acting. Megan has a valid point, but, sadly, Michael is unable to distinguish fact from fiction. And now he wants to prove that he made Megan Fox.
The Wall Street Journal quotes him as saying,
Well, that’s Megan Fox for you. She says some very ridiculous things because she’s 23 years old and she still has a lot of growing to do. ...

Megan Fox Killed in ‘Transformers 3’?

Transformers’ purpose for being made was not for terrific acting; it was for explosive robots and for Fox to lean against a car in a belly-shirt while 13-year-old boys in the audience drooled on their popcorn. Bay was pissed at this comment. He fought back in the Wall Street Journal, saying that Fox “(said) some very ridiculous things…She’s 23-years-old, and she still has a lot of growing up to do.” She replied by saying that working with Bay is worse than dealing with “Hitler.” Then ...
