USA Today is reporting that Steven Spielberg will adapt Michael Crichton's posthumous adventure novel Pirate Latitudes, which hits bookstores on November 24. Set off the coast of Jamaica in 1665, it tells the story of a raid on a Spanish galleon filled with treasure in Port Royal.  Spielberg has worked off Crichton books before with the 1993 blockbuster Jurassic Park and its sequel, the Lost World.

Why We Love Megan Fox

What Friday would be complete without some juicy Megan Fox news. MTV has an interview with Megan Fox where she explains that she prefers to kiss girls on screen.  She explains, "I feel much safer with girls, so I felt more comfortable kissing her in the movie than kissing any of the other people that I had to kiss."

BTW: Earlier this week, Miss Fox was rumored to be cast as the new Catwoman.  That rumor has since been been denied.

PS: Here is the preview for Jennifer's Body, which releases on September 18th
