Megan Fox Stimulus: Media Leaves No Stone Unturned

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.

Who needs news when we have Megan? Her new movie, “Jennifer’s Body,” premiered this weekend, and everyone with a pen is itching to write about the film’s star.

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.

The story of embattled political soon-to-be ex-wife Jenny Sanford is one of the rarest incidents in American politics: a story that both sides can spin to fit their narrative. Sanford went on a media tour to promote her new book, Staying True, that hit all three major cable news channels and the unofficial fourth power in journalism, The Daily Show.
