Megan Fox Stimulus: Media Leaves No Stone Unturned

by Zeke Turner | 10:44 am, September 19th, 2009

30096918-30096919-large Journalists and mediaites might have been a little bitter that they missed out on federal stimulus. But thank god for Megan Fox — a more potent stimulus package than Obama himself could have dreamed up.

After Rolling Stone posted a gallery of Megan Fox photos shot for the October 1 issue but withheld the text to draw paid subscriptions, everyone from the Daily News to Perez Hilton has begun reporting on the Rolling Stone feature. Defamer’s Richard Rushfield has a great round-up of the coverage of the coverage.

Meanwhile, the writer behind the movie, Diablo Cody, has her own idea of stimulus:

Sure, they come from completely different media backgrounds and, save for both making appearances on MSNBC occassionally, have little professional overlap, but we can't help but look at the photo evidence and wonder whether something is up.
