Hello everybody...again. We're now zipping forward to my regular blog after the special one on the passings of Farrah Fawcett, Michael Jackson, and Ed McMahon; and yes, there was other news to report!

First up...here we go again!!!! Last year it was Eliot Spitzer, now it's South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford. We now know why he was missing from office for a while without any notice: He got quite freaky with an Argentine lady behind his wife's back, and he admitted it all in a press conference on Wednesday.

Sanford, along with Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, is one of the rising stars of the Republican party; and now with his affair, it appears that the only way to save his bacon is to do what Spitzer and Rod Blagojevich did: Resign.

One couple that has resigned from each other: Jon and Kate Gosselin. On Monday, 10.6 million viewers tuned in to "Jon & Kate Plus 8" for the bombshell announcement that they're headed for divorce court. In response, TLC has put the show on hiatus, though rumors about the couple getting their own separate shows began to surface.

I have an idea: Have Jon join the "American Chopper" team and put Kate on "Mythbusters"; both happen to be TLC/Discovery shows and they too get good ratings!

And last but not least...One of the most anticipated films of the year, "Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen", is now playing, and one of the stars is the amazingly hot Megan Fox. However, with the tattoos and body, she has the similar looks to another stunner: Angelina Jolie.

Now there is a huge comparison between the two, and they're not mistaken for each other. But who is the ultimate transformer? There is only one way to settle this score, and that's the...
(By the way...some of you who remember the old site know that I've done this twice before with Kirsten Dunst/Natalie Portman (2002) and later Amanda Bynes/Hilary Duff (2003))

BREAKOUTS:
Megan Fox: "Transformers"
Angelina Jolie:
"Gia"
Advantage: Jolie

AWARDS WON:
Fox: None
Jolie:
Six (three Golden Globes, two Screen Actors Guild awards, and an Academy Award)
Advantage: Jolie

NUMBER OF TATTOOS:
Fox: Eight, including a picture of Marilyn Monroe's face on her right forearm and one on her right shoulder which reads "We will all laugh at gilded butterflies"
Jolie:
13, though she has lasered several of them off including ex-husband Billy Bob Thornton's name
Tattoos are definitely a turn-off for me, so even though she has less, it's advantage: Fox

HUMANITARIAN WORK:
Fox: None
Jolie: UN Refugee Agency Goodwill Ambassador
Advantage: Jolie

Ah, to hell with the rest; Angelina Jolie easily cleans out Megan Fox's clock 3-1! Jolie's got the accolades, Brad Pitt, and the kids to almost rival Jon and Kate's, as well as dethroning Oprah Winfrey to top the Forbes Celebrity 100 (though Oprah still makes more money). Fox on the other hand? Well, she is younger than Angelina, but when it comes to sex appeal, it won't be long till she passes the torch. It's just that I don't take her seriously...unless she strips like Jolie has done.

But personally, I'll have to go with Megan on this one. Then again, we all have our own choice of opinion, as those two are among the countless number of beauties are picking up where the late Farrah Fawcett has just left off. So long and stay strong!
