All stars tend to go for this look when they feel a need to adjust their public image. Mel B, Eminem (the classic Stan video features the best known case of this syndrome) and Cheryl Cole have all succumbed at some point in their lives. Now it's the turn of the Fox.

Here's Megan playing happy families with her on-off boyfriend Brian Austin Green and his son at some Westfield style mall in California. Note the Ugg boots - these also give off a cosy and stable air. Not quite the same person who is convinced she is going to shoot that very same man. Then again, no film to promote, no need for a hasty quote!

We're not sure which Megan we prefer. Megan being all pretend intelligent and demure, or the clearly deranged nutbag nearly naked Megan Fox suffering for her art. Hmmm...
