Megan Fox - Fox Hated By Girls At School

Hollywood beauty MEGAN FOX has always been more popular with men than women - and even struggled to make female friends at school.

The 22-year-old actress, whose big break came when she starred in the 2007 film Transformers, insists she was unpopular at school - and found it difficult to befriend any of her female classmates.

She says, "At school I was not ever - for a second - popular. I mean never. Everyone hated me and I was a total outcast.

"My friends were always guys. I have a very aggressive personality and girls didn't like me for that."

Grazianos to Hulk -- You Just Sit and Spin

The family of John Graziano is telling Hulk Hogan where to stick his "God's will" when it comes to the Hulk's ridiculous appearance on Larry King's show the other night.

Yesterday, through their lawyers, the Grazianos said that whatever Hulk had to say about John and Nick was just a bunch of fake boo-hooing: "No matter how he tried to spin it, no matter how he tried to cry at the end," says George Tragos. "It wasn't going to change people's minds."

Not only that, they're P.O.'d because they weren't given the chance by King to come on the show and respond to Hulk's hooey.
