Sometimes during your travels around the Internets you come across something that just needs to be shared. That’s just one of the great things about the Internets: lots of cool stuff floating out there. Case in point is this photo discovered by Kottie and shard with his Twitter followers.

Sometimes, if you’ve been good, you get what you wish for. This is one of those times. Why do I say that? Well, read on. In an interview with Megan Fox the, shall we just say very attractive, star of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, she revealed some very interesting bits of info sure to delight fanboys (And girls too, we’re all equal here).

One such bit of info of particular interest to yours truly was that Fox really wants to go to Comic-Con in San Diego next month and, not only that, being the big Star Wars fan that she is, she would really like to go dressed in a “Slave Leia” costume. Oh boy. You hear that sound? That’s the sound of millions of fanboys (And yes, still girls as well) heads exploding.

I don’t know if Fox is really going to attend Comic-Con dressed that way but now any reluctance I had about going next month has miraculously disappeared. See you in San Diego!

Oh, by the way, Fox also talks about some other stuff in the video but really, she had me at “Slave Leia.”

Check out the full video after the jump.
