Megan Fox and Amanda Seyfried in Jennifer’s Body

We’ve heard plenty of dumb, offensive comments from Megan Fox on her publicity tour for Jennifer’s Body. Megan’s stupidity gets plenty of press. There’s nothing that quite promotes films like a sexy girl-on-girl kiss, though, and Jennifer’s Body has it. Writer/producer Diablo Cody says that the kiss is not gratuitous at all, but I think the fact that Megan happens to be wearing boy short underwear as her characters crouches on the bed to kiss her best friend, played by Amanda Seyfried, makes it seem particularly geared for male fans.

What’s more is that there’s a line in the trailer where Seyfried’s character says “I thought you only killed boys” and Fox quips “I go both ways.” The film looks like a lot of fun, but I doubt it reaches the “profound and meaningful” level that Cody claims it does. She was probably joking, though, it’s hard to tell with her:

Megan Fox may feel safer kissing girls, but Amanda Seyfried, her onscreen make out partner in ‘Jennifer’s Body,’ assures us their sapphic scene is just a gimmick.

“We knew that it was going to play a really big role in publicizing the movie,” Seyfried told WENN. “We kind of rolled our eyes at the idea of having to make out.”

Not so!, said the film’s screenwriter, ‘Juno’ scribe Diablo Cody. “If the two protagonists of the film were a guy and a girl and in a particularly tense moment, they shared a kiss, no one would say it was gratuitous. But the fact that they’re women means it’s some kind of stunt. It was intended to be something profound and meaningful,” she told The Frisky.

Megan plays Jennifer, a sexy cheerleader possessed by a demon who is compelled to kill. Yes, the kiss is gratuitous, but judging from the trailer, so is the whole movie. The film is out in the US this Friday, September 18.
