Megan Fox is obsessed with ghostly British TV show 'Most Haunted'.
The 'Transformers' star got hooked on the programme when she was in London shooting upcoming movie 'How to Lose Friends and Alienate People', and admits she can't get enough of the spooky series.
She said: "I'm absolutely obsessed with that show 'Most Haunted', and I love the host Yvette Fielding."
Megan tried to persuade her 'How to Lose Friends...' co-star Simon Pegg to take her on one of London's famous ghost tours, but he refused.
She said: "I wanted to go on the Jack the Ripper tour, but Simon wouldn't go with me, so I didn't go in the end."
'Most Haunted' is a TV programme that investigates paranormal activity in locations through the UK.
It is broadcast on Living TV in the UK, America's Travel Channel and the W Channel in Australia.

He said: "Nope, not true."
Friends of the 25-year-old actress claimed yesterday (07.02.08) the star had been forced to seek treatment following her "erratic behaviour" at Utah's recent Sundance Film Festival.

Carrie Underwood, introduced by the night's first performer and winner, Alicia Keys (for best female R&B vocal performance), popped up out of the Grammy stage to perform "Before He Cheats" in sexy black shorts and thigh high black boots. It was a surprising – and super sexy – contrast to the floral Zuhair Murad dress she wore on the red carpet.
Carrie Underwood's "Before He Cheats" was named best female country vocal performance. "Before He Cheats," written by Josh Kear and Chris Tompkins, was also named best country song.

Amy Winehouse added to her growing trophy collection, winning best new artist and song of the year honors at Sunday night's Grammy Awards
Amy Winehouse, who is set to perform via satellite later in the show from London, wasn't on hand to accept her new artist award, but presenters Miley Cyrus and an enthusiastic Cyndi Lauper accepted on her behalf.
She looks nice and healthy. Hope she keeps this weight on. Love her.
Nicole Richie at BCAM Opening Gala
Nicole Richie's baby daughter Harlow is "doing really great".
The 26-year-old star - who gave birth to her first child with fiancé Joel Madden on January 11 - is finding motherhood "wonderful".
Speaking at the opening of Los Angeles' Eli Broad Contemporary Art Museum on Saturday (09.02.08), she said: "Harlow is doing great. Really great. It hasn't been much more than a month but all I can say is that being a mother is everything I hoped it would be and more. It's wonderful."
Later on Saturday evening (09.02.08), Nicole and Joel visited a pre-Grammys party at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, but were so eager to get back to Harlow they left before midnight.
Joel was overheard telling a friend at 11.40pm: "Harlow only sleeps for three hours at a time. She's with Grandma at the moment but if she wakes up..."
Good Charlotte frontman Joel, 28, previously revealed Harlow is the spitting image of her mother.
He said: "She looks so much like her mom its crazy! She eats like a little maniac and she's really sweet. She barely ever cries, even when daddy is changing her diaper, and believe me I suck when it comes to diapers, but I'm learning!"
She looks so freaking beautiful! She looks awesome with red hair.
Ashlee Simpson at the 2008 Clive Davis Pre Grammy Party
It's awards season in Cambridge, Massachusetts. On Wednesday Paris Hilton accepted "Woman of the Year" honors from Harvard University's esteemed satire rag, The Harvard Lampoon, and on Thursday Charlize Theron accepted an award for the same thing but from a different student group.
The Hasty Pudding Theatricals - the nation's oldest undergraduate drama troupe - crowned the Aeon Flux actress their "Woman of the Year," staging a parade for Theron, bringing her on a binge-drinking marathon in their headquarters, and finally propping her onstage at the University's New College Theater.
Once onstage, she playfully took part in a number of games staged by the troupe - the members of which were all dressed in drag, mind you - to ensure that she was the real Charlize Theron and not some imposter.
Charlize, 32, played along. When asked to find the alien among a number of the troupe's members - a la a scene in Theron's The Astronaut's Wife - she said, "Are they all men? Then they are all aliens!"
The actress' wit didn't stop there. After being handed the Hasty Pudding Pot, Theron was asked what she intended to do with it. "I'm going to make a stew [in it], and then I'm going to eat it... I'm going to look at it and remember today and how much fun I had."
And it continued. When asked how the award ceremony compares to The Oscars, Charlize Theron replied, "I know you want me to say that the Oscar sucks and this is better. There are no men in drag at the Oscars like there are here. I've never been surrounded by so many fake breasts."
"Actually, I think I was... at the Oscars."
Charlize had plenty more words for the crowd of students that collected in the hall. Towards the end of her speech she shouted, "tell everyone that I'm the sexiest woman alive, and I'm going to vote for Barack [Obama]... And you can tell them I told you all of this while I was drunk!"
Charlize Theron joins a Hasty Pudding Woman of the Year roster that includes Meryl Streep, Jodie Foster, Julia Roberts, Meg Ryan, Halle Berry, and Catherine Zeta-Jones.

DiCaprio and the cousin he rents a house from are suing contractors in the latest legal volley in a fight over a basketball court that neighbors claim destabilized their Hollywood Hills property.
In a cross-complaint filed Jan. 30, DiCaprio and cousin Robert Hrtica have sued dozens of building contractors, hired by both themselves and the neighbors.
Neighbors Joan and Robert Linclau sued DiCaprio and Hrtica in May. They claimed their property was illegally excavated and some plants removed in 2004. They also said the work undermined a slope behind their home and left their deck and pool in danger of collapse. They are seeking at least $250,000 in damages.
The latest complaint from DiCaprio says there is no merit to the Linclaus' lawsuit, but if damages are found then contractors are to blame.
Phone messages left after business hours to attorneys for the two sides and to the central contractor named in the suit were not immediately returned.
Previous court papers filed by DiCaprio contend the problem may have been caused by the Linclaus themselves installing an "illegal railroad tie retaining wall," and that they were "seeking a scapegoat for the potential problems that they themselves created."

...fallen top, pokies, ripped fishnets, panties showing
Britney Spears showed off the disappointing results of an intensive home make-over session during a trip to Millenium dance studio over the weekend.
Last week, it was widely reported that celebrity colourist and Extreme Makeover consultant, Kim Vo, spent 4 hours at the troubled singer’s L.A. home working on her neglected tresses.
However, judging by Brit’s bedraggled appearance on Saturday, 4 hours wasn’t nearly enough time to tease the pop wreck’s weave into something resembling a decent hairstyle.
Sporting ripped fish-nets, tacky red hotpants, a stained top and her usual bedraggled mop, braless Brit hit Millenium with dad Jamie for numerous cigarette breaks, punctuated by a spot of dance practice.
People quoted Vo as saying of his Brit assignment: "Britney needed some help with her extensions and wanted to talk about a new color. I hadn't worked with her before, but they asked me so nicely to help,”
After streaking her dark brown locks with a caramel colour, he said: "We wanted to brighten it up a bit. She's ready for something new.”
