All Thumbs: Megan Fox should rethink age jokes:
It was on Ellen. It was weird..And it went like this:
Fox was discussing how 30 – a milestone birthday – always seemed to be so “old” when she was younger.
Ellen, jumping in the conversation, agreed. The talk show host volunteered that when she was younger, “I would think somebody 50, 60 years old was, you know, just like…”
And then came Fox’s zinger. “In a hospice?” the young actress rushed to finish Ellen’s sentence for her, perhaps not realizing that DeGeneres is 58.
Awkward.
“I’m just saying!” Fox added, trying to recover. “When you’re young, that’s what you think.”
DeGeneres, pro that she is, defused things with,“I wouldn’t go that far, but certainly close to going to a hospice, yes.”
Thankfully ELLEN herself was on stage. The consummate professional allowed the program to flow. Even though this would have been a blockage of epic proportions in a plumbing world.
