Let me make it easier. I think we can all agree that they're not as famous as Brangelina and likewise agree that they're more famous than Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott. Right? Meaning, they're somewhere between super famous and reality star famous, but I'm not sure where exactly on the spectrum. Most of that fame comes from Megan's success. No offense to Brian Austin, I'm totally willing to admit a brief crush during his Beverly Hills 90210 days, but he isn't Mr. Limelight.
Why does any of this completely ridiculous characterization matter? Check out below, which is a snippet from Megan Fox's Facebook page.
Who knew that Megan Fox was pregnant? I have to admit that I did. That's attributable to my unhealthy addiction to celebrity gossip websites. But I bet some of you, more mature folk, didn't know. The reason that some of you may not have known is because she didn't splash her pregnancy in every available media outlet. She wasn't showing up on red carpets rubbing her belly. She didn't do a spread in Us Weekly to discuss her cravings and nursery decor. She didn't announce the gender on twitter. She generally kept a low profile and privately enjoyed the pregnancy with her teen heartthrob husband.
For the record, I'm not a super fan of Megan Fox. I happen to think she's a bad mediocre actress. But I was impressed by her relative discretion when it came to being pregnant. She announced her son's birth not by PR blast, but in her own words on her Facebook page several weeks after the fact. There's still no photographs available to the public.
What a stark contrast from those celebs who sell their baby photos to the highest paying tabloid/gossip magazine (more on that here). So, back to my original question - what kind of couple are Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green? Non-exploitive like those A listers and non-desperate like those D listers. I'm still not sure where exactly on the spectrum that they exist, but good for them.
If you knew that Megan Fox was pregnant, how did you find out? Did you know she gave birth? Did you think she was discreet or just as shamelessly exploitive as the rest of them?
