An open letter to Rose McGowan
Dear Rose McGowan, Where has your body gone? Seriously, what happened to your arms? Who put those twigs there instead? Did a child get confused while building a snowman? Next to you, Rosario Dawson's arms look twice as thick. And Rosario is by no means a thick woman. Your soft, supple cheeks: sunken. Your milky, smooth skin: Well, let's just say I hope you drank a lot of milk, because your bones are popping right out of it. Heck, if it wasn't for your chin dimple, I might not have recognized you at all.
Remember when you looked vibrant, healthy and confidently sexy in that I'm-wearing-threads-but-pretending-they're-a-dress kind of way? Hell, I was even willing to overlook the whole Marilyn Manson thing. But this, this I am not willing to overlook. Someone needs to buy you a sandwich. No, better yet, someone needs to buy you an entire sandwich shop. And when you're done eating, say, six or seven meatball subs, you won't even need to look around for any toothpicks. Why? Because you can just use your arms! In all seriousness, Rose, I'm worried. Why have you let yourself vanish into nothing but skin, bones and tousled hair? Haven't you heard that big is beautiful? Hello, ugly is beautiful. Look at America Ferrera. She's the hottest thing I've seen in years. Now that girl knows what you're supposed to do with a sandwich.

An open letter to Rosario Dawson
Dear Rosario,
Lets get matching Subarus and move to the suburbs. You make me want to become a one woman woman. Think about it
Love,
SFinch
Rose?
My mouth dropped the second I saw the side-by-side and not in the good way that Paige used to make my mouth drop when I watched Charmed (and Phoebe wasn't on-screen).
This is kind of heart-breaking. She looks nothing like herself.
*shakes head*
Rose
Et tu Rose
Ice cubes and rice cakes are not good meal choices
OH my God????
What happen to her?
If it wasn't for the side by side pic I would not reconize her at all.
This new stranger doesn't look at all like the sexy, sassy, Btfl ROSE McGowan.
Whitout the meat, she has lost her IT factor.
Please somebody go to her rescue!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jeez
Crikey
Seeing them side by side.
WTF
Rose, you were so beautiful in the Charmed days!
That lovely milky skin.
:-(
That has to be the scariest
That has to be the scariest I've seen in a while, she literally looks like she is skin over bones.
"no it won't go the way it should, but I know the heart of life is good"
That photo seriously reminds
That photo seriously reminds me of the People magazine cover with Karen Carpenter just after she died. So sad, another one falls to the ranks of the lollipop head girls. What on earth are these women thinking? Don't they have anyone in their lives that will tell them that they truly look like living skeletons?
Give me a strong, healthy woman like Laila Ali anyday. That is real beauty.
damn. i seriously did not
damn. i seriously did not recognize her AT ALL on the cover.
:(
:(
That really does make me sad.. that kind of stuff always disappoints me.
But mmm.. Rosario.
never let go
in the side by side, she truly does look like skin and bones.
and the "sexy" look she's going for on the cover above that instead makes her look like she's about to faint.
come on, rose. never let go...of three square meals a day. and dessert!
She looks half dead in both
She looks half dead in both of those pictures. She used to be so gorgeous and now? Ugh. Okay, I know this sounds horrible but I think a waif/lollipop-head/anorexic star is going to have to die for this shit to stop. Where are these people's families and loved ones? Where are their friends? Hell, where are the producers that hire them? Is Hollywood going to end up having to put in a body mass index minimum like the Spanish/British fashion shows did?
You know what is really sad is she seems to have done this in secret and waited to reveal her new, probably improved in her eyes, self on the front of some magazine. Am I the only one that missed the gradual weight loss because the last time I remember seeing her was the Charmed era pictured above?
You know, if it were male stars cutting their ears off bits at a time because that was the in thing to do to the point where it became epidemic in hollywood instead of women starving off bits of themselves, this problem would have been solved a long time ago because people would have stopped hiring them. Instead you have the producers telling these girls they are great, but could you lose about 10 pounds?
Sorry but I hope whichever one of them is going to die (and it IS going to happen) would do it soon to maybe start to save the others. This really just disgusts me, moreso on the professionals end with their 'lose 10' attitude than the girls who really do have a sickness which can sometimes be triggered simply by those 'lose 10' comments said often enough by people in powerful enough positions. So, as far as this time around...fuck you Tarantino and fuck you Entertainment Weekly for putting her front and center on your cover.
Skeltor?
Give it a rest
First of all, Rose isn't lacking nutrition in any way, whatsoever. I agree that she doesn't look so hot on the Entertainment Weekly cover and the image on the right, but everyone is entitled to look like crap once in a while. And in case you didn't know, Rose sustained serious injuries to her face from a car accident at the beginning of the year, but is recovering very well (in my opinion) - so give her a break.
BTW, McGowan is not half Italian. Her American parents were members of a hippie religious group called The Children of God and moved to Italy where she was eventually born until they later returned to the States. Her father is of Irish descent and her mother is believed to have French ancestry.
Anyway, we can forgive Rose for the "tan in a bottle" thing can't we? Here are some recent photos of her from the 2007 ShoWest Award Ceremony to make you feel horny .. I mean better.
oh well, even if she is not Italian...
I am sure she still likes Italian food. My offer still stands. And if she wants Guinness and soda bread instead of chianti and canoli, I will oblige. :D
I did know about the accident, but did not realize the extent of her injuries. In any case, she does need to get some more meat back on her bones. That would help to aid the healing process.
And, those pictures are
And, those pictures are supposed to show us what, the quick progression of anorexia over the period of a couple of months?
It's not her looks that are the problem it's the very obvious sloughing off of weight. The pictures you linked to show emaciated ankles and arms that are extremely haunting when compared to pictures of her on that very site from a couple of years ago all the way up to last year.
So, really, what's your point? Being pro-ani doesn't help the sufferer. Every single picture above could have been cut off at the neck and it would still be obvious that we are looking at a woman suffering from an eating disorder. It has nothing to do with any injuries she may have incurred recently or anything else.
She is killing herself slowly and since you seem to be a bit of a fan (do you also know her shoe and bra size?), I'd think you'd want to do something more than make excuses for a quite obvious problem.
What? Is that really her?
some people look good being that skinny, but she looks best the way she was.
Not making excuses
Again, looking at the images posted at http://r-mcgowan.org/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=375, I don't really think that Rose looks as bad as some are making it (her appearance) out to be. She's definitely thinner than she once was, but I wouldn't put her in the same ranks as Lara Flynn Boyle or Terri Hatcher just yet. Not with those curves. Still, if it turns out that McGowan truly is starving herself, I hope she gets some help soon.
Oh and to answer your question (partially), I believe she's a 36C. Why the harsh words about Tarantino? He just put her in a movie that just might save her career. Nothing more.
She's still too thin! Eat!
jeez..
maybe she has cancer. then it wouldnt be nice to rag on her so hardcore. or maybe its her body changing. i know mine has changed as i get older, i have a really hard time keeping on weight.

Ha!
umm...
hmmmm..
some skinny women can look sexy but it's better to look healthy
* complex as it seems, life is simply amazing *
