The Shortlist for Aug. 23

Marilyn Monroe's face has slowly been fading from Megan Fox's forearm because Megan was worried the Hollywood icon's reputed struggles with mental illness might somehow bring dark energy into her own life. "It's a negative character, as [Marilyn Monroe] suffered from personality disorders and was bipolar," Megan told Italian magazine, Amica. "I do not want to attract this kind of negative energy in my life." The Marilyn tat is going the way of a belly button ring that Megan got when she was 16 in order to emulate another troubled star. "I did it when I was 16-years-old because I was a fan of Britney Spears," she explained. "The only time I tried to imitate someone else. But then I thought it was tacky so I removed it when I turned 20." (Jezebel)
