Transformers star Megan Fox has still managed to retain her sexy looks even when she was covered from head to toe in blood in her new movie. Fox, 23, plays a cheerleader possessed by a demon in new high school horror Jennifer's Body, reports the Sun.
And while she is waving her pom-poms about in some scenes, in others she is seen feeding off the boys in a Minnesota farming town.

West Indian pace surprise Ravi Rampaul has found an admirer in Indian skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who has praised the right-armer for his ability to force mistakes from batsmen by consistently bowling in the right areas.Rampaul returned career-best figures of 4-37 against India as West Indies beat India by eight wickets in Kingston to stay afloat in the four-match series currently tied 1-1.
"Rampaul swings the ball really well, bowls in the right area, he forces you to play a big shot like the cover drive," Dhoni said ahead of the third one-dayer here on Friday.
Rampaul's spell left India tottering at 82 for eight after they won the toss and batted first, but Dhoni hit a responsible 95 to lift his side to 188 all out.
Dhoni said lack of assistance from the pitch in Kingston makes Rampual and fellow pacer Jerome Taylor's performance all
the more creditable.
"I don't think there was that much in (the pitch) for the bowlers," Dhoni said.
"They bowled really well, they were swinging the ball well and, when it stopped swinging, they were able to get reverse swing," he added.
The 24-year-old Rampaul, who has been hampered by multiple injuries in his career, the Kingston performance has given him confidence for the future.
"A performance like this has really helped me to come back and play international cricket and improve my confidencea lot," Rampaul said.
"I have been working hard in trying to make back the team and I felt good bowling. I got a bit of swing with the new ball and picked up a couple of wickets, it was a good return to international cricket."

He may have finally found his feet in the industry but Abhay Deol can’t seem to stay put in Mumbai. He’s just returned from New York City from what turned out to be almost a six-month vacation to “rejuvenate”, he’s ready to go back. “I’m going back soon,” promises the actor. “The quality of life here is not great. Navdeep Singh puts it brilliantly; he says that people talk about traffic in Bombay the way people talk about the weather in London,” he says flashing those dimples that cause hearts to skip several beats. Seated at the lounge of a suburban hotel, he’s in his Dev.D avata—distressed denims paired with a green tee and a black jacket and a sling bag. His overgrown stubble is in place but the bloodshot eyes are replaced by a naughty twinkle one can recall from his act in Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye!.
His trip to the Big Apple became quite a topic of discussion in Bollywood, especially since the 33-year-old escaped the post-hit hype of two of the best films we’ve seen last year. Instead if reveling and networking, the reclusive actor upped and left for a “normal and anonymous” life. “The welding course was peripheral, something to keep the mind occupied and to experiment. In fact, I attended school only till February because I’d had my fill by then,” he says.

From going underwater with sharks to jumping from a helicopter on to a burning train, Imran Khan has done it all in his forthcoming film 'Luck'. But he had his share of injuries for showing such daredevilry in the action flick.'Shooting an action film can lead to plenty of injuries. A muscle pull, certain bruises are quite usual. In 'Luck', I sustained an injury while shooting the train scene. When the train was on fire, the flames went up a little too high and my eyelashes and the skin under my eyes got burnt,' Imran told IANS over phone from Mumbai.
Imran had to then cover up the burnt skin with an extra layer of make-up for two weeks while he let the eyelashes be as he feels 'people don't tend to notice them often'.
While his daredevilry in 'Luck' has been the talk of the town lately, the young actor reveals he had to use a body double for an aerial stunt in the movie directed by Soham Shah.
'There was one scene in the film where I have a body double. It required me to jump with a parachute around 1,000-1,200 feet off a helicopter and I didn't know how to skydive. Though I did jump off the helicopter myself with a harness, the real stunt in the air has been performed by my body double,' he said.
Apart from this particular scene, Imran has performed all the stunts in the action thriller himself with the assistance of popular stunt director Allan Amin.
The 26-year-old has even jumped off an airplane on to a train on fire and went underwater for a scene with deadly sharks.
'The film required a lot of action stunts, jumping, running, kicking, etc. I got to do a variety of stunts.
'There was an underwater sequence where we had to shoot with sharks and a cage. For that we were trained in scuba diving. Then there was another one where I had to jump on to a speeding train that was on fire and fight on the train - those were exciting,' Imran said.
On the insistence of the director, Imran and other actors of the film, including Sanjay Dutt, Mithun Chakraborty, Ravi Kissen and debutante Shruti Haasan, underwent a one-week theory and practical course in scuba diving in Durban, South Africa, he revealed.
'Soham was very particular about one thing - he wanted each of the actors to perform his or her stunts and so we trained in scuba diving for the underwater scene. It was a strenuous exercise. We used to spend six to eight hours in the water in the mornings, then go for theory classes and then back into the water.
'But it feels great to be a certified scuba diver now,' said Imran, who had subscribed to a three-day beginner's course in scuba diving for his earlier film 'Kidnap'.
Despite the danger involved, Imran agreed to do the stunts on his own.
'Allan has a great fondness for me and he would want my inputs on it (the stunts) every time. While deciding upon a sequence, he would discuss it with me and ask me if I can do it or not and I would just say - 'Yeah, I can do this'. So in a way, we designed the stunts together,' he said.
In a pathbreaking judgement, the Delhi High Court on Thursday legalised gay sex among consenting adults holding that the law making it a criminal offence violates fundamental rights. However, Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code which criminalises homosexuality, will continue for non-consensual and non-vaginal sex.
"We declare section 377 of IPC in so far as it criminalises consensual sexual acts of adults in private is violative of Articles 14, 21 and 15 of the Constitution," a Bench comprising Chief Justice A P Shah and Justice S Murlidhar said.
The High Court said "the provision of section 377 IPC will continue to govern non-consensual penile non-vaginal sex and penile non vaginal sex involving minors".
The court clarified that "by adults we mean everyone who is 18 years of age or above".
It further said that this judgement will hold till Parliament chooses to amend the law.
"In our view Indian Constitutional Law does not permit the statutory criminal law to be held captive by the popular misconception of who the LGBTs (lesbian gay bisexual transgender) are.
"It cannot be forgotten that discrimination is antithesis of equality and that it is the recognition of equality which will foster dignity of every individual," the Bench said in its 105-page judgement.
