Actress Megan Fox says she too gets starstruck when she meets sports stars like basketball players Russell Westbrook and Kobe Bryant. “With Russell Westbrook (who plays for Oklahoma City Thunder) at the Kids’ Choice Awards,” she said, when asked when was the last time she got starstruck. “Kobe was there, but I didn’t get a chance to see him. That would have been a double whammy,” people.com quoted her as saying. Meanwhile, Fox, who has a son with husband Brian Austin Green, says she is an occasional cook. “I really love cooking for the holidays, and I always try and do something challenging. But on a day-to-day basis, it’s not my thing.” The 28-year-old recent release is “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles”, which sees her as a fearless reporter. (IANS)
