Megan Fox gave a recent interview to Wonderland magazine, and she had her sights set on Transformers director Michael Bay.

“He’s like Napoleon and he wants to create this insane, infamous mad-man reputation. He wants to be like Hitler on his sets, and he is. So he’s a nightmare to work for but when you get him away from set, and he’s not in director mode, I kind of really enjoy his personality because he’s so awkward, so hopelessly awkward. He has no social skills at all. And it’s endearing to watch him. He’s vulnerable and fragile in real life and then on set he’s a tyrant. Shia and I almost die when we make a Transformers movie. He has you do some really insane things that insurance would never let you do.”

She should really talk about someone else already. I’m surprised that anyone will still want to work with her after this.

The service lasted almost three hours and included speeches from many of AM’s friends. “The one common theme that all the speakers shared was how selfless and generous Adam was and how much he valued his sobriety,” a guest at the service tells Life & Style.

American Idol isn’t the same without Paula Abdul, says Simon Cowell.

On the Fox show’s upcoming ninth season, judges Randy Jackson and Kara DioGuardi return – along with celeb guest judges, including Victoria Beckham, Shania Twain and Katy Perry.

Cowell, 49, tells Extra the show is now “different. It’s like comparing a carrot to a banana.”

Though the judge says he doesn’t want to “get in the middle” of Idol execs and Abdul, 47, he says, “I miss her.”

He adds that Abdul – who denied to TV Guide that she left the show over money – is “someone who will always work.”

So what’s next for Abdul?

“I definitely want to do a talk show because it would be different,” says Abdul, who has shot a guest role on Lifetime’s Drop Dead Diva and will host VH1′s Divas Live Sept. 17. “It would be a lot of fun variety with a ton of unexpected stuff and tributes to everyday people getting their big chance.”

Bradley Cooper admits he’s a romantic in the newest issue of Parade magazine.

“The truth is, I got it first from my parents, who’ve been married since 1963. I got it from them and from my grandparents, who are still together,” says the actor, 34, who’s dating Renee Zellweger. (The two were spotted kissing in Spain in early August; the next week, he took her to his Philadelphia home town.)

“I grew up in a very old-fashioned Roman Catholic, Italian-Irish family in Philly. Now my parents have evolved into completely different creatures, in terms of their marriage and the roles of the man and the woman,” he goes on. “And I think that’s great, but it’s still romantic.”

Movies and TV have also “influenced” the way he acts while in love, Cooper says.

“You sort of figure out that you don’t need to replicate what you see. In a relationship you want to treat people the way you want to be treated,” he says. “And, you figure that out after sussing through all these ideas of how love is supposed to be.”

The star of All About Steve (out Friday), also opens up about his scenes with costar Sandra Bullock — who went nude in her last romantic comedy, The Proposal.

“I don’t feel cheated that Sandra Bullock kept most of her clothes on with me. At least we got sort of a love scene…I still made contact. Actually, Sandra was attacking me physically in [one] scene,” she says. “There’s just something in her eyes when she’s on top of me saying, ‘I’m going to eat you like a lion,’ that’s so funny. But I wouldn’t have minded going a little further.”

Adam “DJ AM” Goldstein and Haley Wood may have been on-again, off-again before his sudden death on Aug. 28 – but the love the two shared was clear when she spoke at his emotional memorial service in Los Angeles Thursday.

“I have never experienced anything quite like Adam Goldstein. He made me feel warm and whole,” said Wood, who was one of a handful of people who spoke about the deejay during the service held at the Hollywood Palladium. “He smelled soft. Adam was a remarkable human being, and so many have been blessed by his presence.”

Recalling their time together, she said, “We talked of marriage and excitement of having children together. He would whisper in my ear sometimes before we went to sleep, ‘Goodnight, my sweet angel.’ Most mornings when I woke up, he’d make me toast and juice and say, ‘Good morning, soulmate.’ I will cherish the memories forever.”

During the ceremony, Goldstein’s empty deejay booth, along with his laptop, headphones and two pairs of sneakers, was set up in remembrance of the musical talent. The service opened with the reading of Alcoholics Anonymous’ 12 steps. Goldstein, 36, had been sober for more than a decade when he suffered an apparent relapse.

“Even though our time together was short, I would change nothing,” Wood added. “The love I continue to feel for him and the love that we shared together will live with me and those who witnessed us together forever. … I will never be the same without him. A part of me has passed away with him. Even the warmest of days will never compare to the warmth I felt when I touched him. He was my soulmate, and now he is my soul. He was my amazing grace.”

Wood opened her speech by reciting lyrics from “Amazing Grace.”

Also in attendance at the memorial were Lindsay Lohan, Samantha Ronson, Eric Dane, Rebecca Gayheart and Goldstein’s former fiancée, Nicole Richie, who is due to have her second child this month.
