If you haven't been following the latest gossip about Planet Terror director Robert Rodriguez and actress Rose McGowan-- and really, why would you be?-- here's the scoop. They've over! Or not! It depends on who you believe, after The New York Post broke the story of their breakup and People debunked it the next day.
What makes this more interesting than most celebrity breakup stories is that McGowan is set to star in three of Rodriguez's upcoming projects, including the high-profile Barbarella remake that reportedly won't be made until Rodriguez agrees to cast someone more famous than his girlfriend. Now Perez Hilton, getting his information from WENN, thinks the breakup will be a convenient way for Rodriguez to ditch McGowan as his leading lady and replace her with... wait for it... Jessica Alba.
Yup, Jessica Alba is seen as the only woman fit to reprise Jane Fonda's iconic role as the sexiest woman in space. I think I speak for most of us when I say: Blech. Rose McGowan isn't exactly the most talented actress out there, but she at least has some kind of recognizable personality, unlike the bland being that is Alba. I don't know exactly how I feel about McGowan getting the Barbarella role strictly because she's sleeping with the director, but at least she might have taken it in an interesting direction. With Alba, though, you know exactly what you're going to get: a pretty face and awkward acting.
I could really care less if Rodriguez and McGowan stay together, and I wouldn't mind seeing him branch out and cast someone other than his ladyfriend in one of his projects. But please, let's leave Jessica Alba out of this. It's for everyone's own good.

Oh dear, not Jessica Alba! She can't act to save her life. Plus she's really not the most attractive woman. I don't like McGowan and Rodriguez's relationship becuase of the fact they had an affair, but McGowan is a much better actress in my opinion and she actually is good looking.
It's hard to pick what to believe considering both the post and People Magazine are both worthless rags with misinformation. I could give a rat's ass who McGowan is sleeping with but if any of this shit about Rodriguez turns out to be true then to hell with him and this remake nobody I repeat NOBODY wants.
Well I certainly don't think Rose McGowan is qualified to take the banner from Jane Fonda. Jessica Alba is more iconic of our century, though I agree she can't act. I'd pick Drew Barrymore.
What's so new about an actress sleeping with the director of their films?...Paul W.S. Anderson and Milla J. also Len Wiseman and Kate Beckinsale...It might be a positive to the movie, I personally enjoyed Rose in Planet Terror...Barbarella will most likely be amazing if it gets made...
Alba for some odd reason feels like the least sexual woman ever, she may dress sexy and be hot....but something makes me think she would have been a nun or a librarian if she didn't get into acting...
