Megan Fox denies comparisons to Angelina Jolie

Actress Megan Fox – tipped to become the new Lara Croft – has denied she is similar to Angelina Jolie, who played the video game heroine in two films.

Fox, 23, who stars in the new Transformers movie, said she is “more of a comedian than a sex symbol” and called Jolie, 34, a “living tigress” and a “sexual, aggressive warrior princess”.

She also said that despite her model looks, she wasn’t “overly confident” and that she isn’t a “femme fatale”.

Recently she has dated actor Brian Austin Green – but now says: “I’m currently what you would call single.”

Speaking on Australian radio, she dismissed the comparisons between her and Jolie, saying: “I think there’s a slight lack of creativity on the media’s part with that one.

“I guess that I’m tattooed and have dark hair make it possible.

“But she is like a living tigress, she’s like this angular, very sexual, aggressive warrior princess.

“People try to sell me as that, like I’m a femme fatale, but I’m actually really silly and really like more of a little comedian than a sex symbol.”

Denzel Washington is serious about new comedy with Will Smith

Oscar-winner Denzel Washington is set to finally ditch his serious tone – to team up with Will Smith for a big-screen comedy.

The respected actor, known for his serious roles, has let it slip that he is working on a lighter, as-yet-untitled, project.

When pushed about his lack of funny roles in a new interview, the American Gangster star said, “I shouldn’t talk about it, but I will just say that Will Smith and I are working on a project and hopefully we will make it next year.”

But he told CBS’s Early Show that he will still be playing it straight.

“[Will and I] were in London last summer, [and] we were just kind of fooling around, improvising, and Will was saying, ‘Don’t worry, Denzel, you don’t have to be the funny guy, you can be the straight guy, just be dead serious.’

“There was some funny stuff, so I look forward to it.”
