Just when you thought that Megan Fox would be the kind of girl to sit down and indulge in a binge-watching session of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, it turns out that things are much, much worse: she's into one of those awful History Channel shows keen on exploiting the term "history" and packing as many conspiracy theories into a single hour of TV as possible. Yes: Fox's favourite TV show is Ancient Aliens, an absurd excuse for an informative series that purports that - wait for it - ancient alien astronauts were influential to our development as a species. It's a load of old tosh, of course, but - as Fox told Ellen - she finds it awesome:
"My favourite show is Ancient Aliens. Everybody thinks I'm crazy because I back this show so much and I love this show, but it's all about the theory that these megalithic structures were possibly built by... not necessarily little green aliens, but maybe future humans that they call ancient astronauts that did some sort of time travel or something. It's extra-terrestrial."
Based on that explanation, perhaps Fox should give Scientology a call? You never know.
