Mickey Rourke is convinced Megan Fox is unfairly criticized over her acting skills “because she’s beautiful”.

The Wrestler star has teamed up with the 23 year old for new movie Passion Play, and the actor admits he has been astounded by Fox’s talent.

And Rourke is adamant the Transformers star is a clean-living, promising actress who is not given the recognition she deserves because of her good looks.

He says, “She doesn’t drink or do drugs. People say bad stuff about her and how she can’t act but they only say that because she’s beautiful. She’s the most talented actress I’ve worked with. When she cries in a scene, I get emotional.”

Kicking off their week with some downtime, Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green were spotted out shopping in Los Angeles yesterday (February 15).

Joined by Green’s son Kassius, the happy twosome meandered around town as a swarm of shutterbugs followed closely behind them.

In a recent interview, the “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” babe told press she’d love to settle down and have kids in the not-too-distant future.

“No one believes me when I talk about this, but I’’m really maternal. I worry that because I’ve always wanted [kids] so much, as the world goes sometimes, I won’t be able to have them, even though I would be able to provide them with such an amazing environment.”

Making the most of a sunny day, Megan Fox and her boyfriend Brian Austin Green were seen stepping out to grab a coffee from Coffee Bean in West Hollywood, CA today (February 16).

Showing off her freckles, the Transformers seductress proudly went sans makeup as she tended to her afternoon java run.

Meanwhile, though she’s one of Hollywood’s most sought out actresses, Megan says that she isn’t confident about her acting abilities and hates having her picture taken.

“With acting, my main weakness is nerves. I have no confidence, and because of that I’m always second-guessing myself,” she tells W magazine. “I feel intimidated by fashion. I hate doing photo shoots. But there are some women you could put in underwear and photograph them, and it looks really classy and it doesn’t necessarily provoke a pin-up image. But with me it does, immediately, as soon as I’m in underwear.”

In addition to an image makeover, Megan is also desperate to have children.

Claiming that she is a very maternal person but suffers a deep fear that she won’t be able to have kids biologically, she says: “No-one believes me when I talk about this, but I’m really maternal. I worry that because I’ve always wanted kids so much, as the world goes sometimes, I won’t be able to have them — even though I would be able to provide them with such an amazing environment.”

The 23-year-old beauty also goes on about how she isn’t interested in competing with other Hollywood starlets and, because of the nature of Hollywood, is wary of who she trusts.

She adds: “I don’t trust people in this industry, but I especially don’t trust girls in this industry, because it’s incredibly competitive, and I’m just not interested.”

It was rumored that the Jonah Hex reshoots were required to add additional characters to the film, but the latest set pics make us think that Megan Fox’s hooker-with-a-heart-of-gold role has been fleshed out.

The latest crop of Hex set pics show Josh Brolin and Megan Fox in their fantastic Western attire standing under a Tim Burton-meets-Tombstone umbrella. Fox has previously mentioned that her role was “basically a cameo” but her presence in these reshoot images seem to imply otherwise. We’re okay with it ,as long as she doesn’t get as much screen time as Jonah himself. But the more slutty period gear, the better.

If you were watching the Super Bowl this evening, you more than likely saw Motorla’s 30 second commercial spot which starred Megan Fox trying to promote their applications and “Devour” Android powered smart phone. The ad, which cost over $3 Million for 30 seconds can be found inside but the question still remains: was the $3+ Million spent really worth it?
