Rose McGowan and Robert Rodriguez broke up not so long ago, and then it was rumored that Red Sonja would be made without McGowan. Then it was announced that McGowan and Rodriquez were back together, and voila we have these new posters for Red Sonja. McGowan may suck, but it’s a living.

Robert Rodriguez and his now former fiancé, Rose McGowan, have split, and it could have been over a movie role. McGowan was hoping to star in at least three planned Rodriguez films – a remake of "Barbarella," "Red Sonja" and "Woman in Chains!," but that may be all over now.

Rodriguez was having trouble finding financing for a Barbarella remake, with McGowan set for the lead role. McGowan, best known for her witchy role on TV’s "Charmed," wasn’t thought to have enough box-office draw for the $70 million remake, especially after "Grindhouse" disappointed with about $25.4 million in domestic ticket sales.

Jessica Alba is being considered for the Barbarella role now, which doesn’t seem like a better replacement, since Alba’s movies have been bombing.

Although Rodriguez ended his sixteen year marriage to a woman he had five children with, because of his affair with McGowan, it appears he realized McGowan was just sleeping with him for movie roles, and so he cut her loose. Sources say Rodriguez has been entertaining several females in his hot tub at his home in Texas.

Rose McGowan was being considered for a starring role in “Speed Racer,” but the studio felt her plastic surgery left her unrecognizable. Here’s more:

McGowan, 34, has admitted to having plastic surgery for an eye injury related to a car accident. But casting skeptics suspect she has had much more done, and that it cost her the role. "The studio felt like she was hard to recognize and worried that by the time the movie hit theaters, fans might not know who she was," says our insider.

When has plastic surgery stopped an actress from getting a role? You should have seen her before the accident. It’s faces like hers that they make halloween masks out of. In porn plastic surgery is considered a prerequiste. If the report said she didn’t get the role because she was too old to be believable, then I’d believe it. Rose wasn’t the only one passed over. Zac Efron was up for the title role, but wasn’t the right fit:

”During his auditions, Zac never connected to the romantic lead in the reading,” says our source. “By the second round, the casting crew didn’t feel he was believable as a leading man/hero.”

Zac looks completely gay. The only role he could play as a leading man that would make sense is something that requires a gay man like High School Musical. If they had switched the roles around and had Zac play the girl, and Rose play the guy, then it might have worked.

Rose McGowan and director Robert Rodriquez got engaged the other day. Now that her acting career may be in a bit of a slump she’s resorting to her back up plan. Bang a guy with some money while she’s still hot enough to hook him, then live on his money after the divorce. Men’s back up plan is winning the lottery. Here’s more:

Spies in L.A. report she’s been showing off a new diamond engagement ring from director Robert Rodriguez. McGowan met Rodriguez on the set of "Grindhouse" when he directed her as a peg-legged ex-stripper in his half of the double feature, "Planet Terror." He was soon divorcing his wife.

Not long after these two are married Rose will divorce him, take as much money as she can, and everyone will pat her on the back for screwing over a cheating man. All he’ll have left is one hand full of his manhood, and the other hand full of lottery tickets.

"Grindhouse" star and recent Robert Rodriguez mistress Rose McGowan is covering the July 2007 issue of Arena Magazine.
