Rose McGowan Nude, Rosario Dawson Naked For Cover Of Rolling Stone

Rosario Dawson and Rose McGowan have decided to bare all on the cover of rock magazine Rolling Stone - wearing nothing but bullet belts.
The sexy ladies are co-stars in Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez's new Grindhouse double-bill, which the magazine has dubbed "the most violent chick flick ever made".

Dawson reveals tiny McGowan had to stand on a box to make sure her bottom touched her co-star's. She says, "She actually had to be on an apple box to make sure that our butts touched and our shoulders touched."

Inside the publication, the actresses are snapped sweaty and grimy, wearing only dirty vests as they pose for an arm-wrestling contest.

Dawson admits she checked with her brother, who DJs at a strip club, before agreeing to bare all for the publication: "He was like, 'Well, you know, I saw you (naked) in Alexander (and) you're pretty fit, so that's alright."

Rose and her American Idol pick

The feisty Rose McGowan revealed that Sanjaya's her "American Idol" pick -- because "he's horrible!"

Rose was spotted at LAX, where some paps confused the clad-in-black starlet for Angelina Jolie, which amused the lighthearted Rose. When asked if she was into "Idol," she confessed that she wants the "funny Indian kid" to win this season of "Idol," loving him because "he's horrible, he's great."
Her advice to Sanjy: "Keep on keepin' on with your bad voice and bad hair, America loves it."

MLB Properties will help market Alyssa Milano's line of licensed casual wear

Looking to boost its share in women's apparel in the sport's clothing category, MLB Properties will help market Alyssa Milano's line of licensed casual wear. As reported by the Sports Business Journal:

MLB concessionaires Aramark, Centerplate and Delaware North Sportservice will sell Milano's new Touch line of women's and juniors clothing at 11 ballparks this season. It will also be available from outside retailers.

Milano's venture reflects "a part of the market we haven't touched yet, putting a high-end product on the casual and younger fans who are more fashion conscious," said Greg Sim, MLB Properties' director of licensing, apparel and headwear. Women's apparel now accounts for about 18 percent of baseball's licensed clothing sales.

MLB is promoting the clothing line through an online contest in which fans can register at MLB.com and team sites to win a trip to Los Angeles and join Milano at a Dodgers game.

Alyssa Gives the Inside Scoop
She speaks about her new pilot, Baseball,and baby horses.

Hello! Hello! Hello!

I hope this blog finds you all well and in good spirits. There are so many exciting things going on in my life, I don't know where to begin! Let's start with the pilot I just finished for ABC, shall we? Inside scoop? Contrary to Internet reports that it has been titled "All Fall Down", we still don't have a title beyond "The Untitled Rina Mimoun Pilot". In fact, it was never called "All Fall Down". Even Rina, who created the show, doesn't know how this factitious title came about.

I have to tell you, I have never been prouder to be a part of anything in my entire career and you know how proud I was of Charmed, so that's really saying something. The script is amazing (Rina has got the gift) and for the three weeks we worked in South Carolina, everything fell into place with ease. The director (Lawrence Trilling), the cast (Mary Steenburgen, James Brolin, Anna Camp, Misha Collins, Ian Kahn, David Suttcliffe), the crew (to my delight - we even had a couple of Charmed crew members in our camera department), everything about this experience was special. It was a labor of love and I think we made a damn good pilot and I know I made lots of good friends. Now... we play the waiting game for two months and hope ABC finds a time slot in their programming for us. My fingers are crossed. My toes are crossed. Everything is crossed. I am a pretzel.

The script is warm, smart and hysterically funny. It opens with my character (Annie) in labor where she finds out some unsettling news about her husband. She is a high-powered attorney in Boston. After finding out this news, she takes her newborn son and drives back to her hometown of Charleston, South Carolina (not Savannah as falsely reported on the Internet) to raise her baby and chaos ensues. The characters and relationships are so real, quirky and heartwarming. You will fall in love with this dysfunctional and yet functional family. I think there is something for everyone to relate to.

In other news, it's almost opening day!!! Yay! Baseball makes me so happy. But man, the Dodgers are driving me nuts this Spring Training. Colletti if you are reading this - we need a power hitter!!!! The good news? TOUCH will be available on opening day in all the stadiums. MLB.com is carrying the whole line as well! I am so proud. The clothing line is something I have been working on for the last two years and to see it finally come into fruition in such a positive way - is so rewarding. I hope you like the stuff. If you buy any of it, take pictures of you in it and post it on the boards so I can see!

What else do I have to share with you all? Let's see... I am going to Uganda in a few weeks for my first field visit as The Lead Ambassador For Neglected Tropical Diseases. I am excited to expand my knowledge of these diseases that are virtually ignored and affect the poorest of the poor. I will take pictures and of course share my journey with you all upon my return.

You know what else? My mare, Sarafina, just had a baby! We named her Harmony and she is the most beautiful little horse I have ever seen. God, she's cute. I just want to squeeze her.

What a blessed life I live. I am a very lucky girl. I thank God every day. I appreciate all of it and I appreciate all of you. You have supported me no matter where I am or what I am doing. Thank you!

Rose to play a B-Movie Star

Rose McGowan, who stars in both parts of Grindhouse, has signed to play the tragic B-movie staple Susan Cabot, reports Variety.
McGowan will star in Black Oasis, a drama written and to be directed by Stephan Elliot (Priscilla, Queen of the Desert). Hit and Run partners Hilary Shor and Tony Smith are producing. Shooting will begin this fall.

Based on a Premiere magazine article by John H. Richardson, Black Oasis is the story of Cabot's rise on the B-circuit (she was a favorite of director Roger Corman) and her death at the hands of son Timothy, who bludgeoned her with a weightlifting bar when she was 59.

Bullock worried for her health after hugging sick McMahon

Sandra Bullock is fearing for her health after learning her Premonition co-star JULIAN MCMAHON was ill when he joined her on the red carpet at the film's premiere. Bullock and MCMahon taped an interview for US talk show Ellen on Tuesday (13 March 2007), the morning after the screening in Hollywood (12 March 2007) when the actress learned of her movie husband's flu symptoms.
Bullock feigned outrage when she said, "(You had) your sweaty sick face all over me. You put it one me. You didn't say, 'Oh, I'm sick, let me not hug you...' Now we're all gonna die."
Aussie actor MCMahon confessed, "I just got carried away, it was so exciting."

McMahon too scared to "sneak a peek" at bare Bullock

Australian actor Julian McMahon kept eye contact with Premonition co-star Sandra Bullock during a naked shower scene in the film because he didn't want to have to answer to her husband - for sneaking a peek. McMahon admits he was the envy of many friends when they learned he'd be baring all with Bullock, but he didn't dare make a move to capture the actress in all her glory.
He says, "Have you seen her husband, JESSE JAMES? He's kind of a big dude.
You would not take a peek."

Sandra about Julian in Premonition

Q: It was important you cast the right guy as your husband. What did Julian bring to the film?

Sandra Bullock: Acting chops. Acting chops. Acting chops. And an understanding of what it is to be a father. An understanding of what it is like to be a man and be in the position where you have to be the provider. You have to do x, y and z in order to be a man which is completely false, but it’s that preconceived notion. The fact that the day has become mundane. That tweed jacket at the car shop. It’s a place where it is just the same thing everyday. ‘They could have been Prom King and Queen. They were the sparkle in everyone’s eye.’ And here they are, what they are, which is nothing. He understood that. He was so thorough in how he approached everything. And in the love scene, the love scene that we did isn’t the love scene that was written. You know? And we got to that night and we went, ‘Something is not right.’ That happens a lot on a film where you have shot so much and you get to this place and you go, ‘So much has changed.’ And so all three of us just locked ourselves in a room and talked about it and what is it that we want to say in a visual way and emotionally. The way he approaches his work is so thorough. He is a workhorse. He takes his craft very seriously. I felt very comfortable with him. I knew he was in it for the same reasons I was and there was going to be nothing for those three months that was going to get in the way of that. So, I admire him a great deal for the man he is and for the actor he is and for his dedication. And he’s really tall and he made me look tiny. (Laughs) I love that.

Rose McGowan's injuries

Marilyn Manson's ex-girlfriend Rose McGowan is nursing three broken toes after walking into a door.

It's the latest in a line of painful injuries for the accident-prone actress, who risked serious injury when an airbag deployed in a recent car accident and crushed her glasses into her face.

The 33-year-old actress spent weeks recovering from the ordeal, which took place at the beginning of the year.

Julian McMahon Talks Dr. Doom Costumes in "FF2"

Ftopel writes: "Dr. Doom may be the comic book equivalent to Julia Roberts, trying on different outfits in front of a mirror in a romantic comedy montage. He seems to have more outfits in "Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer" than most divas.

"It's weird, man, because first of all, you start with Dr. Doom has been in a casket for a couple of years and wakes up a few years later," said actor Julian McMahon. "He's pretty pissed off, kind of just rips off his mask and all that kind of stuff. He gets very ugly."

Homecoming gives Dr. Doom a setting fit for his wardrobe changes. "Then he's got his lair set up in some castle in Latveria, right? We're talking comic book stuff so you have to kind of go with all this kind of stuff. With all these monitors and stuff, I don't know where he got 'em all from but they're pretty cool. He sees this kind of entity which is the Silver Surfer. Just knowing the comic books, Dr. Doom is Dr. Doom so what does he do? He goes and he tries to destroy everybody and get everybody's powers and all that kind of stuff. That's basically what the character's about."

Once the Surfer is off, McMahon gets to be himself. "Then Dr. Doom becomes me for a certain period of time which I think is very strange but let's not get into that."

For the grand finale, expect a big closer. "Then the final costume is this pretty amazing costume. It's a similar kind of mask. It's kind of a larger type of fit and probably a little more sturdy kind of look to it. The chest plate, it's a very heavy outfit. It weighed about 45 -50 pounds whatever without the cape and stuff but its pretty extraordinary. It’s a darker suit than the one he had last time its kind of more Batmanesque in a way, but with the mask its obviously very Dr. Doom, and it’s a great looking outfit. Look, I got so many outfits its ridiculous."

At least they're keeping him busy. With new characters like the Surfer and Galactus, Dr. Doom still has a vital role. "I had quite a lot to do actually, because he went through all these transformations, different to what happens in the comic or the cartoon but we kinda just had to make it applicable [to the film].""
