Rose McGowan has turned out to be something of a curse for boyfriend, Robert Rodriguez. She's had his life in tailspin ever since their alleged on-set affair during the filming of Planet Terror. The director, until that time, had been in a long-term marriage with five kids. He's still got the five kids, at least! Robert has been trying for some time to get financing together to create a remake of the cult-classic, Barbarella. Rose, of course, was set to be the lead. Most studios were turned off by McGowan's involvement; many rumors have swirled that it's due to her plastic surgery. What's a girl to do? It got so bad that at one point the lead was recast with Rosario Dawson in a bid to secure the necessary funds. It's finally come out recently that the end of the road has been reached for Robert's dream to recreate Barbarella. It's a damn shame, in my opinion. While the last thing the movie-going public needs is another remake, Rodriguez is highly talented with a unique vision. He definitely had the potential to bring something interesting to the screen; if he'd only been able to get rid of that plastic weight holding him back! Better luck next time. And remember, you don't have to cast your girlfriend in everything - no matter what she tells you in the bedroom!
