Today marks Megan Fox's 25th birthday. Yet, before there can be any blowing of anything, turning a quarter-of-a-century old needs to reflected on by the birthday girl. Usually, an individual would look back on too many one-night stands, getting arrested for peeing on a school statue, or currently holding a minimum wage job. But for someone who grew up in Hollywood, a quarter-life crisis is triggered by different experiences. Fox's WTF?-worthy career choices include: every movie, except 2007's Transformers, she's starred in, and nearly everything else she's done, frankly.

There's no doubt that her management team is overhauling her image right now, as exemplified by the slowly disappearing Marilyn Monroe tattoo on her arm, so we don't have to worry about the former "Sexiest Woman Alive" fading into obscurity. And, really, who would honestly want that? So as Fox takes the next major step in her career (possibly, and hopefully, a Judd Apatow movie), she can look back on these ten past mistakes to avoid for an Oscar-winning, or at least a widespread respect-earning, future.
