'Grindhouse' star Rose McGowan strolls down LA's Melrose Avenue on the way to a dinner date last night.
Despite rumors to the contrary, the 'Charmed' star is set to swap her machine gun prosthesis for a pair of sexy space boots for the remake of the campy 1968 sci-fi comedy 'Barbarella', directed by her beau, Robert Rodriguez.
It has been rumored the the film's producers were unhappy with Rodriguez' choice of lead actress, preferring Nicole Kidman or Jessica Alba in the role originally played by Jane Fonda, and have threatened to shelve the project unless the role is re-cast.
Rose recently told MTV that '[The news that I was out] was really irritating because I know all the people over there and obviously it wasn’t true. It was very malicious and there was no proof.'
She added that the film is already well on its way, revealing that 'half of the sets have been built. The costumes are done' and she's 'even got my spaceships. I’ve got part of a spaceship built for me!'
Although I am hardly excited about another remake, at least Jessica Alba isn't playing Barbarella. They'd have to change the name of the flick to 'Miser-arberella.'
