LOS ANGELES —

Megan Fox dismisses comparisons between her and Angelina Jolie as the product of a lazy media.

The two actresses are both brunettes with tattoos who are known for their candor – and that has been enough for some to proclaim Fox the heir apparent to Jolie’s crown. Fox says the parallels are the product of a lack of media creativity, but adds, “you live with it.”

The 23-year-old Fox stars with Shia (SHY’-uh) LaBeouf (lah-BUFF’) in the new film “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.” She says she and the actor, who were paired in the first “Transformers” movie, enjoy a brother-sister relationship.

LeBeouf says rumors the two are dating are just that. He described himself as a “red-blooded 23-year-old,” but said the connection with Fox is strictly professional.
