In the week of Megan Fox bashing for the sake of promoting “Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon,” Tyrese Gibson has something nice to say. Megan who was reportedly fired by Michael Bay and Steven Spielberg for her “Hitler” comments found herself in the middle a kiss and tell with former co-star Shia LaBeouf. Shia shared with all that he had a fling with Megan. On to the next…Tyrese tells Popeater about Megan,

“Of course I miss Megan. Megan is a sweet girl. I’ve never had an issue with her. It’s always been good. I know people are talking a lot of mess about her, but I just hope she has a strong stomach.”

“Having a franchise that she’s been a part of from the beginning, and not being able to have her on board is probably the most difficult,” he adds. “Sometimes things don’t work out, but I wish her well. In business, her career, her personal life. She’s a sweet girl.”

Of Tyrese isn’t immune to troubled encounters with director Michael Bay,

“He’s very aggressive with himself. Very demanding of himself. He has very high expectations of not just the cast, but the crew. He’s cursed me out a few times. I cursed him out back. I don’t really curse people out in person. I tend to do it through email. He curses me out in person.”

So what happens when you fire a former hottie and work with a “difficult” director, “It’s the best Transformers in the series, hands down. The scope, magnitude, focus, adrenaline. All across the board.” Or is Tyrese just saying that…:-)

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
