Megan Fox: Brian Austin Green Picked My "Tight" Golden Globes Dress

Megan Fox has been communicating with a higher power. Wearing a bra and underwear on the cover of Esquire's February issue, the 26-year-old actress opens up about her surprising religious views.

Fox tells the magazine she began speaking in tongues around the age of 8, when she attended a Pentecostal church in Tennessee. "The energy is so intense in the room that you feel like anything can happen," Brian Austin Green's wife recalls. "They're going to hate that I compare it to this, but have you ever watched footage of a Santeria gathering or someone doing voodoo? You know how palpable the energy is? Whatever's going on there, it's for real."

The Friends With Kids actress -- who welcomed son Noah on Sept. 27, 2012 -- says she has seen "magical, crazy things" happen in church. "I've seen people be healed. Even now, in the church I go to, during Praise and Worship I could feel that I was maybe getting ready to speak in tongues, and I'd have to shut it off because I don't know what that church would do if I started screaming out in tongues in the back."

"It feels like a lot of energy coming through the top of your head -- I'm going to sound like such a lunatic -- and then your whole body is filled with this electric current. And you just start speaking, but you're not thinking because you have no idea what you're saying. Words are coming out of your mouth, and you can't control it," Fox explains. "The idea is that it's a language that only God understands. It's the language that's spoken in heaven. It's called 'getting the Holy Ghost.'"

Unlike her Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen costar Lindsay Lohan, Fox says she "can't stand pills" and doesn't "like drinking."

"I have to feel like I'm in control of my body. And I know what you're thinking: Then why would I want to go to church and speak in tongues?" she laughs. "You have to understand, there I feel safe. I was raised to believe that you're safe in God's hands. But I don't feel safe with myself."

Fox -- who also admits to believing in leprechauns and the Loch Ness monster -- tells Esquire she is "childlike in my spirit, and I want to believe in fairy tales."

"I believe in all of this stuff," the star of This Is 40 says. "I believe in all of it."

Golden Globes: Ben Affleck's Argo scoops two awards

Ben Affleck has won best director for his film Argo at the Golden Globe awards.

Argo, set amidst the 1979 Iranian hostage crisis, also won best drama.
Best actor in a drama went to Daniel Day-Lewis for his role in the biopic Lincoln, while Jessica Chastain won best actress in a drama for Zero Dark Thirty.
Earlier, British singer Adele won best song for the theme to the James Bond film Skyfall.
Collecting her trophy, she said: "Honestly, I've come out for a night out with my friend Ida - we're new mums - I have literally come for a night out. I was not expecting this."

The Golden Globes gives a separate accolade for best film musical or comedy, which was won by Tom Hooper's film of stage hit Les Miserables - the only British film to win an award.
It won three in total, with actress Anne Hathaway winning best supporting actress for her portrayal of Fantine in the film.
"Thank you for this lovely blunt object that I will forevermore use as a weapon against self-doubt," she said as she collected her trophy.
The film's lead Hugh Jackman won best actor in a musical or comedy.
Eric Fellner, producer of Les Miserables and co-chairman of Working Title Film, said: "Making this film was an incredibly risky proposition.
"But so much passion and love was put into the making of it and that's what seems to have won out."

Dame Maggie Smith won best supporting actress in a series for her role in Downton Abbey.
Homeland took best TV drama, with Damian Lewis winning best TV actor for his role in the series.

Director Tom Hooper saw his two stars, Anne Hathaway and Hugh Jackman, win awards

Quentin Tarantino, accepting the best screenplay award for his film Django Unchained, said: "This is a damn surprise, and I'm happy to be surprised."
Christoph Waltz took best supporting actor for his role in the film.
But the western lost out to Argo in the best drama category along with Steven Spielberg's Lincoln, Life of Pi, Ang Lee's adaption of the Yann Martel novel, and Zero Dark Thirty, Kathryn Bigelow's film about the hunt for Osama Bin Laden.
Amour, directed by Austria's Michael Haneke, won best foreign film.
In the drama actor category, Day-Lewis was shortlisted alongside fellow Oscar candidates Denzel Washington and Joaquin Phoenix.
Silver Linings Playbook star Bradley Cooper was also nominated for the award, with both men also nominated in the best actor category at the Oscars.
The best actress in a musical or comedy category was won by Cooper's co-star in Silver Linings Playbook, Jennifer Lawrence.
Accepting her award, Lawrence thanked producer Harvey Weinstein for "killing whoever you had to kill to get me up here".

The ceremony was also visited by former President Bill Clinton, who praised historical drama Lincoln.
"President Lincoln's struggle to abolish slavery reminds us that enduring progress is forged in a cauldron of both principle and compromise," he said. "This brilliant film shows us how he did it and gives us hope that we can do it again."
The ceremony's co-host Amy Poehler, said after Clinton left the stage, "Wow, what an exciting special guest! That was Hillary Clinton's husband!"
Comedy actresses Poehler and 30 Rock star Tina Fey took over presenter duties from Britain's Ricky Gervais, who had hosted the ceremony for the last three years.
The pair were both nominated for the best TV comedy actress prize for their work in 30 Rock and Parks and Recreation respectively.
"Tina, I just want to say that I very much hope that I win," said Poehler, as the ceremony began.

VERDICT ON HOSTS

• "It was nice to see Fey and Poehler prove that they could be fantastic, funny hosts while also staying out of the limelight." Hollywood Reporter
• "Nearly every joke told or stunt pulled by hosts Tina Fey and Amy Poehler was solidly, often exceedingly, funny, from Poehler's line 'When it comes to torture I trust the woman married for three years to James Cameron' to Fey's admonition to Taylor Swift to 'stay away from Michael J Fox's son' - startled-looking, handsome Sam Fox, this year's Mr. Golden Globe." Entertainment Weekly
• "For all the hype in having former and current nominees Amy Poehler and Tina Fey as hosts, their performances didn't add much to this year's Golden Globes ceremony." Daily Telegraph

However, they were both pipped by Lena Dunham, creator and star of sitcom Girls, which also won best comedy TV series.

Assisting Poehler and Fey on stage were Mr and Miss Golden Globes, the recipients of honorary titles that are traditionally awarded annually to the children of celebrities with their own ambitions in the industry.
Sam Michael Fox, son of Michael J Fox, and Clint Eastwood's daughter Francesca were the two scions selected this year by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HPFA), organisers of the awards.
Two-time Oscar winner, Jodie Foster, who has also won two Globes from seven nominations, received the Cecil B DeMille Award for lifetime achievement.
She used her thank-you speech to make an impassioned plea for privacy.
"If you had been a public figure from the time that you were a toddler, if you'd had to fight for a life that felt real and honest and normal against all odds, then maybe you too might value privacy above all else. Privacy. Some day, in the future, people will look back and remember how beautiful it once was."
The Silence Of The Lambs star also addressed her sexuality for the first time in public, saying she had come out to "trusted friends and family", then "gradually, proudly" to everyone she met.
"But now I'm told, apparently that every celebrity is expected to honour the details of their private life with a press conference, a fragrance and a prime-time reality show."
The 50-year-old went on to thank her former partner Cydney Bernard, her two sons and her mother Evelyn, before pledging to keep making films.
"Here's to the next 50 years."
The ceremony was shown live in the US on the NBC network, with edited highlights to follow in the UK on the 5USA channel on Monday.

Jessica Alba Wears $5.8 Million Diamond Necklace at Golden Globes

Jessica Alba knocked it out of the park at the 70th Annual Golden Globes. The Machete Kills actress, 31, turned heads on the red carpet in Beverly Hills Jan. 13 wearing Oscar de la Renta's melon silk faille trumpet gown from the designer's pre-fall 2013 collection. "I just liked the color," Alba told Us Weekly. "I felt glamorous."

Carrying a Roger Vivier clutch, Alba added major glamour by donning a Mrs. Winston by Harry Winston diamond necklace valued at $5.8 million. The married mother of two completed her look with Harry Winston's platinum and round diamond stud earrings and a platinum and pear-shaped diamond cluster ring.

Alba joined Touch star Keifer Sutherland to present the award for Best Actor in a Miniseries or Television Film; Kevin Costner won for his role in Hatfields & McCoys.

Jodie Foster: I'm Not Retiring, Coming Out Speech "Speaks for Itself"

Jodie Foster is not ready to walk out into the sunset, thank you very much. After delivering a powerful, news-making speech at the Golden Globes in Beverly Hills on Sunday Jan. 13 -- in which the Cecil B. DeMille Lifetime Achievement Award winner acknowledged that she's gay and seemed to hint at retirement -- Foster, 50, clarified her statements to reporters in the Green Room at the Beverly Hilton.

"I could never stop acting. You'd have to drag me behind, like, a team of horses," the Silence of the Lambs star insisted. "No, I'm not retiring from acting. And, you know, I'd like to be directing tomorrow . . . I'm actually more into it than I have ever been." Foster, who has been acting since she was a toddler, explained that the point of her speech was "that people change. Change is important. And, you know, hopefully I'll be doing different things than I did when I was three years old and six years old and ten years old and 20 years old . . . My work is evolving."

As for the more personal aspects of the address, in which Foster mentioned her former female partner and explained she "came out a million years ago" in private? "The speech kind of speaks for itself. It's a big, long career, and it's not just a career; it's friendships and relationships . . . I feel like I am graduating from something . . . And it's a big moment, and I wanted to say, you know, what's most in my heart."

Foster, mom to sons Charlie and Kit, added that she wasn't worried about regretting her frank disclosure the morning after. "It's an expression of who I am and what I'm thinking and feeling." The Accused actress also raised a few eyebrows (as she has in the past) when she acknowledged her close friend, the ever-controversial, volatile Mel Gibson, in her speech. (Gibson, 57, looked on tearfully in the audience.)

"I know Mel Gibson extremely well, and he's somebody that I love and that I have worked with and that I respect, and it's not difficult to say that. You know, it's very easy to say that. My — the man that I know is a true and loyal friend, and considerate, loving," she said of Gibson. Over the summer, Foster also spoke up for her former Panic Room costar Kristen Stewart at the height of her cheating scandal. "I think it's important that when people are struggling, that you not run away from them if you love them. Kristen, I mean, I look at the room tonight, you know, Kristen Stewart and Claire Danes, Jennifer Lawrence, all these young women that I worked with who basically were child actors like I was a child actor, and then I feel very protective of them, because even though I think I have managed to get through the process relatively sanely, I had my scars, and I hope to be in some ways a member of their family that's out there protecting them."

Foster's biggest shock of all: That she's still working in Hollywood. "You know, from the time I was little, my mom prepared me for the fact that my career would be over by the time I was 18 . . . I am very surprised that I ended up doing the same job that I did from the time I was three!"

Adele on Motherhood: "I Have Eczema From Boiling Bottles"

Mommy's first night out was a smashing success for Adele! Attending the Golden Globes in Beverly Hills on Sunday Jan. 13, the British singer, 24 -- at her first event since the birth of her son in October -- was resplendent in a Burberry dress, Miu Miu heels and jewelry by Cartier and Van Cleef and Arpels. As widely suspected, the "Skyfall" chanteuse and songwriter ended up being victorious in the Best Song category, and acknowledged her "lovely son" during her ebullient acceptance speech.

Chatting with reporters backstage in the press room, the chart-topping star opened up (even if just for a moment) about how motherhood has changed her. "I have eczema from boiling bottles!" she admitted of caring for her little boy with boyfriend Simon Konecki. One thing Adele is keeping private? Her firstborn's name. "I am not sharing his name at the moment. It is very personal to me."

She was willing to confess, however, that motherhood bliss may mean a much happier followup to 21 -- the worldwide smash record beloved for its songs of romantic anguish. "I feel a little bit kind of overexcited," she told reporters. "It's my first night out since I had my child and my inspiration normally comes from heart break, but I don't think I am going to?have be devastated again."

And recording a theme song for one of the most iconic, and longest-running, film franchises ever was both daunting and an appropriate followup to 2011, in which she became a global superstar. "I had a huge weird strange bizarre year with my album 21 that just shot me to beyond fame, it was ridiculous and I was pregnant!" she explained. "I had my child about two weeks before the film came out. So it was bad timing," she joked.

There were a few head-scratchers, for sure.

But the bulk of the looks were red carpet-worthy and just stunning. The hard part: Whittling down the list to just 15.

Among the standouts? Golden Globe winners Anne Hathaway (Les Miserables) and Jennifer Lawrence (Silver Linings Playbook), and Jennifer Garner, whose husband Ben Affleck (Argo) won for Best Director. Tell Us: Did your favorite gowns make the list?

Golden Globes 2013's Most Awkward Moments: Salma Hayek Flubs, Taylor Swift Mocked and More!

No night is complete without a few party fouls, and Hollywood's "party of the year" was no exception. This year's Golden Globes in Beverly Hills played host to a number of memorable speeches, jaw-dropping gowns, and -- most importantly -- a good dose of awkwardness.

Tina Fey and Amy Poehler kicked off the night with a few strategic zingers at everyone from James Franco to James Cameron, but the Saturday Night Live pals really just got the ball rolling. The remainder of the star-studded evening unfolded with its own generous amount of gaffes, laughs and brow-furrowing moments.

Recap the most awkward moments from the 2013 Golden Globes below.

1. Taylor Swift gets dissed: About halfway through the show, Fey and Poehler took a moment to warn their Hollywood colleagues to keep Glenn Close away from the alcohol -- and country darling Swift away from Michael J. Fox's son Sam, Mr. Golden Globes for the evening.

"You know what, Taylor Swift? Stay away from Michael J. Fox's son!" Fey joked as the audience tittered nervously. Swift, 23, recently made headlines after parting ways with British beau Harry Styles. The singer smiled demurely.

Fey tried to save the situation. "She needs some me time to learn about herself," she explained.

2. Jodie Foster references Honey Boo Boo in her coming out speech: After teasing the audience by joking about being single, Foster made a snide comment about the state of celebrity today, referencing one of pop culture's most recent stars: Honey Boo Boo.

"I did my coming out a thousand years ago back in the stone age, in those quaint days when a fragile young girl would open up to trusted friends and family," she began. "Now I'm told every celebrity is expected [to share] the details of their private life with a reality show. But I'm not Honey Boo Boo!"

3. Paul Rudd and Salma Hayek's teleprompter issues: So that's what happens when they go off-script! Rudd and Hayek were the unfortunate victims of technological difficulties Sunday night when their teleprompter reportedly stopped working just as they were about to present the award for Best TV Drama. A few awkward moments passed before Rudd tried to fill the silence.

"Hello," the This Is 40 star attempted. "How's everybody doing? Good? All right, great." Hayek tried to pick up the pieces with, "Okay, something about the best, uh…" before the nominees' clips began to roll on-screen, complete with pre-recorded voiceover.

Rudd was able to interject a quick "and the winner is…" before handing the prize over to Homeland.

4. HFPA president hits on Bradley Cooper: Nothing says you've made it in Hollywood quite like getting a wink and a smile from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association president. During her address to the audience Sunday night, Dr. Aida Takla-O'Reilly tried to turn the usually dry portion of the ceremony into an entertaining jab at pop culture.

Takla-O'Reilly concluded her speech with "three words to Bradley Cooper": "Call Me Maybe." A startled Cooper tried to maintain his composure after being called out by the kindly president.

5. Aziz Ansari jokes about weed: It's natural to be nervous presenting an award at the Golden Globes, but Ansari took his duties a bit too seriously with his Downton Abbey gag. The Parks and Recreation actor presented an award with Arrested Development's Jason Bateman and pretended to be high the entire time.

"The cast of Downton Abbey has some great week backstage!" he declared as the crowd laughed nervously. "Michelle Dockery, I hope you have some more of those tasty cookies -- or biscuits, as you call them."

Bateman pretended to bat Ansari away as they announced the nominees, but the joke left the audience more dazed and confused than laughing uproariously.

6. Sacha Baron Cohen makes off-color joke about Anne Hathaway: The king of crude comments made his way on-stage to present the Golden Globe for Best Animated Feature Film Sunday, but not before using the platform to get in a few jabs about the cast of Les Miserables.

"Russell Crowe had four months of singing lessons, that was money well spent," he quipped after joking about Hugh "Jackson" and Helena Bonham Carter. But he saved his biggest zing for Hathaway as he closed out his routine.

"Enough of me pulling back the curtains of Hollywood -- and I'm not referring to Anne Hathaway's up-skirt shot," he chuckled. Hathaway responded with a few giggles and a tight smile in the audience.
