Rose McGowan Is Single...Again!

Rose McGowan has been with her cast of characters from Marilyn Manson to the creepy goblin like creature you find under your bed. That being said it seemed that she had finally picked herself a winner in director Robert Rodriguez. The only problem is that Rodriguez had to break up a 16 year marriage to hook up with the pale starlet. As sad as that is, the relationship was going great, until Rodriguez didn't give Rose some key roles. Guess what happened from there:

"McGowan was hoping to star in at least three planned Rodriguez films - a remake of "Barbarella," "Red Sonja" and "Woman in Chains!" But sources say 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 adven- turess - with McGowan in the title 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. "Too bad 'Grindhouse' didn't gross $100 million. Then, maybe, 'Barbarella' would have gotten the green light," said one source. "Instead, the moguls were saying, 'We need a bigger star, a bigger name.' " Jessica Alba has been touted as a possible replacement."

This has to be the saddest event in the history of man. To think after years of being tortured in a loving relationship, that Rodriguez finally had the chance to be with a diseased vampire, and now it's all gone.
