Rose McGowan: Not Particularly Charmed These Days
WENN

Rose McGowan's breakup with director Robert Rodriguez seems to have cast a bad spell on her career.

Page Six reports that, since the two recently called it quits, three upcoming Rodriguez flicks—a remake of '60s cult classic Barbarella, Red Sonja and Woman in Chains!—that McGowan had planned to star in may now feature other actresses.

A case of payback by a jilted man? Not really. Industry sources say it's a matter of box-office math. After the McGowan-starring Grindhouse raked in a dismal $25.4 million domestically, Rodriguez apparently couldn't find financing for Barbarella with McGowan as the lead.

"Too bad Grindhouse didn't gross $100 million. Then, maybe, Barbarella would have gotten the green light," says one source. "Instead, the moguls were saying, 'We need a bigger star, a bigger name.' "

Word is Jessica Alba may replace McGowan in the sexpot role, which was made famous by Jane Fonda.

Great! So Ro-Ro will get to make his movie, the world will get to see Jessica in a skintight space-girl outfit and Rose will become such tainted goods that she may have to seek roles in the San Fernando Valley to pay the rent.

Now, that's a Hollywood ending!

Quotables /
“Rose McGowan got chatty with photographers outside Madeo's Restaurant yesterday, trading her views on the Lakers (apathetic), her ex-boyfriend Marilyn Manson (still friends), skinny foreign models (not happy), gas prices (less happy), and her acting projects (secretive).

The movie she mentions is her lead in the new TV series Women in Chains! about a bunch of crazay women in jail.

The gimpy leg brace she's sporting--that's the result of a few too many martinis while trying to get into a dinghy.

And those 82 pound models she's complaining about - they only weigh like 10 pounds less than her. And she is cursing them for every last ounce. So she can just her little pie hole.

I give her props for that pretty red hair though!”

“Rose McGowan’s black and blue outfit seem apropos given her injured left foot as she exits the Neil George salon in Beverly Hills carrying her bulldog in Los Angeles on Saturday.

The 34-year-old former "Charmed" star broke her left foot running downstairs to meet her trainer!

Rose rocked out her foot cast at a recent Dolce and Gabanna party last month. She even matched it to her to dress and heels!”

“Let me begin by saying that, yes, that’s clearly not Jessica Alba dressed as Barbarella. It’s Heidi Klum in an old shoot for British GQ. I don’t have any pictures of Jessica Alba dressed as Barbarella, despite several hundred letters where I make it very clear that she should do that. I also explained the benefits of her making out with Megan Fox under a waterfall. There’s been no progress on that, but this may be a step in the right direction”
“Hatchet-faced actress and homewrecker Rose McGowan and director Robert Rodriguez have split. If you'll recall, she started banging him on the set of Grindhouse, and sorta/kinda relieved him of the burden of marriage when he left his wife and several children for her. Sorry, kids, Daddy met an actress!

Rose was supposed to be the star of his upcoming Barbarella re-make, but that seems to be kaput now that they're not longer enjoying carnal pleasure together. What's she going do do now? He might have been her ticket off the B-list.

Rose wasn't just set for Barbarella. She was also supposed to be in two more of the dude's projects - Red Sonja and Women in Chains. Man, she must have a vagine that shoots gold coins after you're finished.”
