What was it like working with Lindsay Lohan in Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen?
I’m not going to bullshit you. We didn’t get along. We weren’t best friends. At the same time, I was 17 and she was 16.

You’re hooked up with ancient actor bloke Brian Austin Green. There’s a story that you’ve got his name inked on an “intimate” part of your body.
I’m a little reckless every once in a while. But it’s so easy to get tattoos removed now. Plus, it’s such a light, small and delicate tattoo. I’ve looked into it just out of curiosity, and it would only be 200 bucks to remove.

Does your agent crack the shits when you get more tattoos?
It bothers my mum most of all. She can’t stand it. I don’t want to be one of those people who has their arms sleeved. But it is something that I really enjoy. So until I think I’ve pushed it far enough, I’m going to keep getting them. It hasn’t hurt Angelina Jolie’s career. That’s right. And I love Angelina Jolie!

So many chicks say, “I’m not gay, but I would definitely have sex with Angelina.”
I’ve said that a million times! Every time a relationship ends, I say, “If I could just be Angelina’s girlfriend, I would be so happy!”

What’s the deal with you and strip clubs?
When I just turned 18, it was just my thing. I’d go with my girlfriends. It was a really fun and loose environment. I don’t do that anymore. But every once in a while, I don’t mind going out with some guys and hanging at a strip club.

Do you think blokes are at their worst in strip clubs?
Absolutely! I once saw a guy at a strip club crying and clutching his wedding ring. I was like, “Oh dude, just go home, it’s not worth it!”

Diablo Cody, the now-celebrated ex-stripper who wrote “Juno,” is here at Toronto with “Jennifer’s Body,” starring Megan Fox, who of course has inspired paparazzi fever at the festival. It’s sort of a “Twilight” for boys, with Fox in the Robert Pattinson role, except that Pattinson was shirtless and to the dismay of her fans Fox is not. Cody’s character Juno has undergone is a 180-degree reversal, with the heroine now transformed into a fiend who eats the flesh of teenage boys. Can you imagine Juno’s poor boyfriend, Michael Cera, covered with steak sauce?

Fox did her career a lot of good with the two “Transformer” movies, but this is her first chance to really act, and you know what? She comes through. She has your obligatory projectile vomiting scene and somehow survives it, she plays the role straight, and she looks convincing in a blood-drenched dress with her hair all straggly.

The film is directed by Karen Kusama, who in the splendid “Girlfight” (2000) introduced Michelle Rodriguez. She handles this material efficiently and with a certain relish. It’s not art, it’s not “Juno,” it’s not “Girlfight” for that matter, but as a movie about a flesh-eating cheerleader, it’s better than it has to be.
