Rose Mcgowan Loses Part Of Her Elbow Doing Stunts For New Film
At this time last year, Rose McGowan told us how excited she was to be kicking butt and working under the direction of her fiancé Robert Rodriguez in the she-devil comic book adaptation “Red Sonja”, but it turns out a serious injury has brought the production to a standstill.
“I had wrist and elbow surgery and they took part of my elbow out. I had really bad nerve damage from doing stunts - I do a lot of my own stunts,” McGowan recently told Tarts. “I could no longer use my arm, but now I can hold a fork and drive so we’re working our way up. It’ll probably be another six months of rehab, but It’s the price you pay for being really limber and being able to do back flips!”
And despite the success the 35-year-old has garnered throughout her career with roles in “Grindhouse,” “The Black Dahlia” and “Scream,” she initially thought being an actress was a pretty pathetic profession.
“I wasn’t trying to be an actor, I was standing outside of a gym waiting for my friend to come out and this woman he knew kept saying, ‘She should be in this movie blah blah blah’ and I was like, ‘Gross, I don’t want to be an actor! Ew!’ and then I found out they would pay me enough money for a down payment on an apartment,” McGowan said. “Otherwise I would have had to go back and live with dad in Seattle. The film, 'The Doomed Generation,' became this huge cult movie and was nominated for an Independent Spirit Award and I’ve been following the Yellow Brick Road ever since…”
Jason Bateman: Jennifer Aniston Is 'Such a Novice'
Jason Bateman recently wrapped filming the romantic comedy “The Baster” with Jennifer Aniston, in which her unmarried 40-year-old character turns to a turkey baster in order to become pregnant. So what was it like starring alongside Hollywood’s hottest property?
“Just dreadful, she’s such a novice,” Bateman lamented at the Hollywood premiere of the his new flick “Extract.”
Ah, nice one.
“No it was great,” he quickly added. “She is a good friend and she really knows how to handle everything.”
By “everything” we’re assuming he means the tabloids, the rumors, the paps and those particularly prominent paychecks …
