Megan Fox Ends Entertainment Tonight Interview Over Pregnancy Question

Steve Jones was fired from The X Factor because viewers did not like the host very much.

Based on his annoying persona below, we can understand why.

Now a correspondent for Entertainment Tonight, the Brit explains in this video that he was asked ahead of time to not ask any personal questions of Megan Fox during an interview meant to be based on her new Sharper Image campaign. So what did that genius, snarky journalist go ahead and do?

Skirt around the pregnancy issue by making up some nonsense about men wanting babies as a "gadget." Watch Fox do her best to handle the disrespect and blatant breaking of the rules below, prior to her publicist ending the interview early:

As if that wasn't enough, the emergency "party mode" button located next to the bed activates a bunch of lasers and strobes, as well as fog and blacklights while a bumpin' stereo system cranks out dance music.
