I am not one to delve into the "gossip" side of movie news, however, the recent split between actress (if you can call her that) Rose McGowan and director Robert Rodriguez has further implications than simply trashy Page Six news.
The New York Postsaid "...the couple, who we reported last October were engaged, have
split, partly over the problems Rodriguez had finding financing for
"Barbarella" - the 1968 cult classic in which Jane Fonda played a sexy space adventuress - with McGowan in the title role."
First, I find this hilarious. After leaving his wife of 16 years and their five kids for this "appendage missing gun toting can't act for shit" McGowan.
Then, she leaves him because he can't get financing for a film he wants her to star in...that's just gold.
The article continues, "Instead, the moguls were saying, 'We need a bigger star, a bigger name.' " Jessica Alba has been touted as a possible replacement."
HELLO? Jessica Alba? Oh that's almost just as bad... ok not as bad...but pretty bad. Can't anyone come up with anyone better than these two?! Is Hollywood that short on talented actresses?!
Well, at least RED SONJA has been saved, good god if McGowan had actually shot that film?! A disaster in the making.
So I guess Rodriguez' next move is to hold a casting couch...where he'll find his next off-screen love interest and on-screen starlet.
