P.S. O'Hara has never worked with Meyers before but the two have both touched the same franchises twice. O'Hara directed the first Popular movie in 2004 and Michael starred in 2006's Popular 3. In 2000 O'Hara became the first ever female director to direct a James Bond film with The World Is Not Enough (which starred Shaenece's mom Denise) and of course Meyers will be playing Bond in next year's Quantum of Solace.

Michael and Mila Done? Back with Sasha Grey?
Well that didnt last long. Drama drama drama. Michael just can't stay with one girl. Here we go again! Many fans and others have commented that Michael Reese Meyers and Mila Kunis didn't "fit" as a couple (he normally goes for the ultra sexy, very confident type, Mila is more goofy and tomboyish) and it turns out...they were right. According to reports from both TMZ and PopEater.com, Mila and Michael have broken up their 3 week relationship. She was spotted in L.A. Christmas Day leaving a gym and reports say she left Miami "weeks ahead of schedule" according to friends, and "in tears and heart broken". The two were supposed to spend the holidays there with her parents who reside on South Beach, but she supposedly found explicit text messages in Michael's phone between himself and.....wait for it....porn star SASHA GREY! His former girlfriend from 2007 and 2008. So much for Michael being a new and improved, not sex obsessed nicer drama free guy in 2011! One unnamed source who is a close friend of Mila's says "She's absolutely devastated right now. She really thought he had changed and was a sweet guy but she was wrong." Stay tuned for more info as we get it....

Michael Signs on for Vin Diesel's action flick Redemption
Where Michael gets mentioned is when Vin says: "We got a sick cast for you. We got some sexy ladies like Carla Gugino, Moon Bloodgood, and Abbie Cornish on board. We got Billy Bob Thornton playing a dirty cop whose after me. And we also got an Australian assassin for hire on my tail who I just learned will be played by none other than the best young actor working today, Mr. Michael Reese Meyers. I met the young man for a test read the other day at my office in L.A. and I gotta tell you, the guy is somethin'. He can do ANY accent, with no practice. We were looking at alot of really good Australian actors but Michael called us interested in the part after reading the script and after one meeting, we knew the part was his. No one else's. You guys aren't ready for this film. It's like a 70's throwback with some real good heart and tons of awesome twists. We are fine tuning the script right now and I promise it will be one of the best films I've ever done. Very deep, very spiritual, and very bad ass. Game on!"
Sounds kinda cool. The character doesn't seem like the deep and complex types of roles Michael normally goes for but we don't know much about him yet and Michael must've seen something in him to be interested in the part so I guess we will have to wait and see. Can't hurt to have two of the hottest men in Hollywood (Vin and Michael) in the same film, right?

Meyers brings Kunis to Fighter premiere//Interview with E! News
Well they claim they aren't dating but they are spending an awful lot of time together! Michael took Mila to his Los Angeles premiere of his new boxing film "The Fighter". They didn't kiss or do anything overly affectionate but they did hug and laugh alot. Who knows? Anyway, Meyers did not speak much but did give an extended interview of sorts to E! News correspondent Ben Lyons. Here's the exchange:
On injuries: "Yea I got banged up. Sure. Broken fingers, broken rib, broken jaw. But Mark got banged up too. But that's what we signed up for. It comes with the territory. It's a real man's man film. A throwback to Rocky and Raging Bull. Old school boxing classic films. That's what we were going for so we had to shoot it that way. And the director of the film, David O. Russell, he trained as a boxer for something like 15 years I believe so he knows this world inside and out. He was perfect."

Mila Kunis denies relationship with Michael on The Talk
Today Mila Kunis was on the new talk show called The Talk (similar to The View) hosted by Leah Remini and Sharon Osbourne, amongst others. She was there to promote her new ballet dancing thriller Black Swan co-starring Natalie Portman. Of course she was asked about what's going on with her and Michael. When asked if they were dating she smiled and said "My lips are sealed". When asked how they met she said: "Well actually he is a director as well and he's directing his first commercial in L.A. this week and it's for a great suicide prevention charity that I'm a huge fan of called To Write Love On Her Arms. He contacted me via Facebook saying that he wanted me to star in it. I asked him why me and he said he's a fan and actually his best friend is James Franco, who I've worked with before. Once on a movie called Date Night and again on this Funny or Die skit we did where we spoof that MTV show The Hills. Which is funny since I was spoofing a girl Michael dated once haha! But yea James told him about me and he met with me over lunch and he wanted me to star in the commercial and I was like sure, but in this town a guy and a girl can't eat food together unless they are dating so...it is what it is you know? I'm used to it now." When asked, "so we won't see you two out and about together?" She goes: "Look, he's a nice guy. He's not what people think he is. He's going through a transition phase right now. I can tell he wants to tone down the partying, the drama, the craziness, just focus on his acting, staying clean, staying sober, staying positive. He's a funny guy. He's really funny and sweet and genuine and kinda shy. I love that. I think he's a cool guy and if we hang out we hang out. I don't see it as some big deal."

Michael and James Franco leave court...charges dropped
Today Michael and James Franco had their court hearing at Los Angeles municipal court for their arrests in June of this year for DUI and resisting arrest. Apparently, the cops who arrested Franco and Meyers did not show up so the charges have been dropped! Meyers is especially lucky since he was still serving his year long probation (from his June 2009 arrest at JFK airport) when this arrest was made and if convicted he would have been in violation of that probation and could have possibly served some jail time (in addition to any possible jail time this sentence may have given him). Lucky break for him and Franco and let's hope they dont' get themselves in this situation again. Both are so young and talented and have alot going for them. There are some photos from PerezHilton.com of them leaving the courthouse this morning and goofing off for the cameras. You can tell their friendship is as tight as ever and they truly enjoy having fun together (although, sometimes TOO much fun, haha). In fact rumors are saying it was Franco who introduced Meyers and Mila Kunis (Franco and Kunis did a film called Date Night as well as a Funny or Die skit making fun of MTV's The Hills where Kunis plays Meyers' ex, Audrina)...in fact, speaking of Mila...

Natalie Portman Takes a Stand Against Pornography (and Michael)
In a recent interview with the movie website Digital Cinema.com, actress Natalie Portman, while promoting her new film Black Swan, was answering a question regarding her issues with doing nudity in films. She basically said she has no problem with it as long as it is completely necessary for the role because she knows there are certain porn sites that actresses like her can end up on when doing nude scenes and she finds that degrading. The interviewer than replied "so I take it you're anti-porn" and she goes "Oh of course, I think it's appauling. It's degrading to women, it's just absolutely disgusting, it's the worst. And studies have shown that one of the side effects of porn are issues such as increases in rapes and just a general disregard for women and the female form and sexuality in general".
He then says to her "well it's funny you mention that since someone like say, actor Michael Reese Meyers, whom you worked with recently in Brotherly Love, says that porn actually decreases rapes since it gives men deemed by women as un-fuckable an outlet to release their sexual frustrations and desires, whereas say without porn, the only way they could act out their sexual fantasies or desires would be to rape. What would you say to that side of the argument, coming from a guy of course so I'm a little biased, haha". Natalie goes on to say "Look everyone has the right to their own opinions but I think he's wrong. I mean these are proven facts. The numbers don't lie. I'd like to see where he gets his numbers from that they (rapes) go down because I mean you could look at the case of that guy in New Mexico from a couple years back who admitted he raped like three or four girls and had them do sexual things he had seen in porn films and wanted them to re-enact them and that's just one example. So I mean, I know he knows alot about it I'm sure with his experience...(interviewer reminds her he just directed a film on the adult industry)...right, yea, so I mean I respect his opinion on the matter but coming from a woman, I just see it a certain way but that's just me."
Here's where it gets really interesting. The interviewer then asks "So I'm guessing your guys' opposite stance on this issue must have made for some interesting conversation on the set of that film or no...?" and Natalie very cryptically answers "well, haha, you know, we actually stayed apart during most of the filming, which was awkward because we become lovers through the course of the story, but I made it a point to kinda keep my distance from him. I dunno whether it was because our characters were supposed to be grieving or just because I've...let's just say I've heard some things about him. He has a reputation. And I wanted no part of that. I come to work and I leave it at that." When asked if she cared to elaborate she just laughed and said "nope". Uh ohh....wonder what "reputation" she is referring to? Will Michael respond to this? Let the guessing game begin....! You can watch the video of this segment of the interview above.
P.S. I have to be honest, I wasn't that big a fan of Brotherly Love (I thought Portman and Ryan Gosling terribly overracted their parts and Meyers seemed unusually...uninterested...in giving any real effort into his performance). I noticed a lack of chemistry between Meyers and Portman's characters despite the fact they were supposed to be falling in love which was a disapointment (I'm clearly not alone since the film did receive some not so pleasant reviews) and maybe this issue of them not vibing on set reveals why the chemistry was lacking. Hmm....

Michael featured in Megan Fox BIOGRAPHY
They dated seriously again from February 2006 to that summer when Michael went off to film Popular 3 and she got the break of a lifetime to star in Transformers. Some controversy occured when photos were taken of her grabbing the crotch of 90210 star Brian Austin Green, who visited the Transformers set. Her and Michael broke up after an angry phone call where he confronted her about the photo. There were also rumors that Megan slept with director Michael Bay to get the role in Transformers. Meyers conceded "There ARE rumors as to how she really got the role in Transformers..."

Kat Von D Regrets Tattooing Meyers' Neck
Celebrity tattoo artist Kat Von D (real name Kristine Papciak) was recently on Carson Daly's show promoting her new book and mentioned Michael Reese Meyers. Meyers in October 2008 visited her famous tattoo shop in West Hollywood, California to get Mel Morley's first name inked on his neck. The experience was filmed for her E! reality show 'L.A. Ink'. Meyers during his 10 weeks of rehab that winter spent alot of time in her shop (he is seen in several episodes visiting) and became very close friends with Kat. She mentions in her Carson Daly interview how the two "are like brother and sister now" and at one point "he was there four or five days a week, just lonely, wanting to just hang out and watch". Kat calls Meyers "a very deep and troubled soul, but ultimately a good person". Regarding the Mel tattoo, as the LA Ink episode showed, Kat strongly warned Meyers not to get it. "I told him over and over, you're gonna regret it. Don't ever get someones name tattooed on you. Not even your kids". But Meyers insisted and she caved. "I regret it to this day. I turn down all kinds of tattoos all the time if I feel it isn't right because I feel it's my job as the artist to do the right thing, even if the customer wants something else. But in his case, I saw how bad he wanted it and I wanted to make him happy. But I wish I could take it back. I know down the line he will look back and wish he hadn't done it. He just has to."

Meyers to reunite with Knightley in Cameron Crowe romantic drama
P.S. According to reports, Michael is laying low on the Bond set after the Famke Janssen drama in early October and is actually already preparing for his much buzzed about role as a female in Neil Blomkamp's The Boy Who Got Away by studying the Swedish language (apparently the film will be in Swedish with subtitles). This PHOTO was taken today of Meyers in Paris in a cafe reading a Rosetta Stone guide to learning Swedish. The film starts filming in February in Sweden and is set for release in December 2011. It also stars Daniel Day Lewis.
