Rose McGowan gives an update on Red Sonja and what she think on Jason Momoa's Conan.

When Rose McGowan attended the 6th annual tribute for late guitarist and her personal friend Johnny Ramone, a reporter from The Blairing Out Show asked her whats going on with Red Sonja? and her thoughts on the new Conan.

"We'll I just finished Conan, literally just finished and uh, So we don't know whats going on with Red Sonja. Because of male driven industry the thing that's gonna go first is Conan, which kinda makes sense because Red Sonja kinda came out after that, in the Robert E. Howard world. So we'll see. I hope to do it. I don't know, you know everything's based on maybe how Conan does"

"Jason who is 6'5 and he kills it in this movie, no pun intended, You could not find another actor. Jasono Momoa who is 6'5 in Hollywood, its just not gonna happen so they needed to cast someone unknown really."

Rose can next be seen in Robert Rodriguez's Machete along side Danny Trejo, Jessica Alba, Robet De Niro, Lindsey Lohan, and Steven Seagal, due out next month on the 3rd.

Conan is due in theatres 2011.

Actress and philanthropist Alyssa Milano, who has been regularly tweeting about the floods since August 12 to her one million followers, is currently leading the celebrity twitter drive for Pakistan. This year Milano won VH1′s “Do Something Twitter” award for using the site to raise money for a non-profit work to supply clean water. On her birthday, she asked her followers to donate money to the charity instead of buying her birthday gifts.

These days on her twitter page, Milano has been raising awareness about the flood victims, how people can help and also information about Pakistan in general. On August 20, she tweeted: "1 more #Pakistan tweet for 2day. Seems a lot of you think it’s in the Middle East (shouldn’t matter but), it’s not. It’s in South Asia :)".

Holly Marie Combs joins "Pretty Little Liars"

I’m officially getting old. I know this because Holly Marie Combs has just been cast as the mother of a teenager!

Sources confirm to me exclusively that the ex-Charmed one is joining ABC Family’s upcoming drama, Pretty Little Liars, as the mother of Lucy Hale’s Aria.

Liars, based on the popular series of young adult novels from Alloy (which is producing the series), follows four teen girls — Aria (Hale), Emily (Shay Mitchell), Hanna (Ashley Benson), and Spencer (Troian Bellisario) — who have been hiding a deep, dark secret since the sixth grade.

Chad Lowe was recently tapped to play Aria’s father (and Combs’ TV hubby). The cast also includes Laura Leighton and Bianca Lawson.

Liars is set to debut on June 8 at 8 pm/ET.

Rose McGowan Joins Conan, But What About Red Sonja?

SOURCE: ScreenRant.com - March 20, 2010

On Tuesday, Variety reported that actress Rose McGowan would be joining the cast of Marcus Nispel’s Conan as “an evil half-human/half-witch.” McGowan’s addition rounds out a solid cast, including Jason Momoa as Conan, Ron Perlman as Conan’s father, and Stephen Lang as the villain Khalar Singh.

While McGowan’s casting is certainly good news for Nispel and crew, one of the immediate questions that came to mind was what it would mean for Robert Rodriguez’s planned remake of Red Sonja. We already knew that the film was delayed based on McGowan’s tweets, but there was hope that Sonja might make a cameo appearance in Conan. Of course, it would seem obvious that if McGowan has joined the cast of Conan, she can’t make a cameo appearance as Red Sonja in the same film.

In order to figure out exactly where Red Sonja is at the moment, MTV sat down with Robert Rodriguez at the South By Southwest Film Festival.

'Charmed' TV Series To Continue In Comic Book Form

SOURCE: MTV.com - March 17, 2010
The Power of Three is making a comeback.

Zenescope Entertainment revealed this week that they've obtained the comic book rights for "Charmed," a supernatural-themed TV series that aired on the WB Network for eight seasons. Created in 1998 by Constance M. Burge, the series followed three sisters — Piper (Holly Marie Combs), Phoebe (Alyssa Milano) and Paige (Rose McGowan) — who were descended from a long line of good witches and tasked to face the forces of evil.

Zenescope's "Charmed" comic book series will pick up with an original story that takes place after the series' eighth season. Paul Ruditis and Raven Gregory ("The Gift") are co-writing the title with artist Dave Hoover ("Captain America"). Ruditis has written several books based on TV series — including "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Roswell" — in addition to two "Charmed" novels.

"The key to this series success is to strike a nice balance in creating a brand new, intriguing storyline for fans of the television show while also not alienating Zenescope and comic book readers who haven't really followed it before but might want to now that it's a comic," said Zenescope Editor-in-Chief Ralph Tedesco.

"The great thing is that Paul and Raven have done just that with this story arc," continued Tedesco. "Anybody will be able to pick up this series and follow it whether or not they ever watched the show before. Moreover, fans of the show are going to be thrilled when they see where this story goes."

Given the newfound freedoms of the comic book medium, it may even be possible for characters like Prue (one of the original Halliwell sisters portrayed by Shannen Doherty) and Cole Turner (Julian McMahon) to return in some form. Both characters were written out of the "Charmed" TV series when their respective actors left the show.

"Charmed # 0" will be released in June and the first issue will debut at the San Diego Comic-Con International in July.

Shannen Doherty's dad inspired dancing stint

Actress Shannen Doherty decided to join the "Dancing With The Stars" line-up in honor of her father, who is recovering from a stroke.

The former "Charmed" star will don her dancing shoes to participate in the upcoming series of the hit talent show, after turning down several offers to compete in previous years.

She insists her severe stage fright kept her from signing up in the past, but she decided to accept the challenge this year after watching her dad Tom's battle to recover from a stroke.

She tells People.com, "He lost his speech, he wasn't mobile. He was really struggling, and still is. When I mentioned this to him, he got really excited, and he wanted me to do it. I thought, if my dad can fight through having a stroke and the loss of being able to communicate, I think I can do this for him. So I figured I'm going to get over my fear for him. ... I have a huge fear of live audiences. I break out in hives, full blown panic attacks, and everything else."

But she's determined to shape up and do her best on the program, adding, "I don't work out. I need to get my endurance up. I'm going to get in great shape, and everyone who I know who's been on the show has had a great time. It's with hesitation and fear, but it's going to be good to conquer a fear."

Doherty will face off against "Baywatch" babe Pamela Anderson and pop singer Nicole Scherzinger, among others, when the 10th series of "Dancing With The Stars" begins on March 22.
