Rumor has it that Rose McGowan was denied a role in the upcoming film Speed Racer due to her bad cosmetic surgery.
McGowan, 34, has admitted to having plastic surgery for an eye injury related to a car accident. But casting skeptics suspect she has had much more done, and that it cost her the role.
"The studio felt like she was hard to recognize and worried that by the time the movie hit theaters, fans might not know who she was," says our insider.
The role McGowan sought ultimately went to the much-less-fiddled-with, perfectly circular face of Christina Ricci.
After the jump, photos from McGowan's recent underwear shoot, where her face is caked in makeup. Surprise, surprise.

maybe she's trying to change her face so people will no longer recognize her as the loser that slept with marilyn manson to become famous.
I think they're right to worry about her being unrecognizable. She looks completely different, and not in a good way. deimos, you might be on to something with that. She looks like they snapped the picture just before or just after she had a really good sneeze. She's wearing the 'ahhh…ahhhh…aaaaCHOOO!' face.
Seriously, who are these nutzos trying to kid? Rose, Michael Jackson, Sharon Stone etc. The whole 'one corrective surgery' excuse is as tired and ineffectual as their flagging careers.
Ahhh Rose…I barely recognize you anymore. You were my first girl crush. Why'd you go and fuck up your face??? Sigh.
She has gone down the Melanie Griffith road of no return, I'm afraid.
It makes me wonder who tells these women, "Yeah a little more pulling and stretching will look fab"…or are they all this insecure all on their own?
c'mon BeAdequite, rose must be like 29 yrs. old at this point. how can she not have major plastic surgery? she is competing with fetuses like hayden pantera or whatever her name is.
She's almost a washed-up old hag, right? ;)
I bet she smells, too.
cait, they keep pushing 13 yr old models and 16 yr old actresses as the ideal and you guys buy into it.
you women control our entire economy and can put a stop to this shit anytime you'd like. i'd venture a guess that rose mcgowan is still considered hot as hell by most guys (i don't think i've ever had a straight male friend who wasn't in love with her) but i'll bet it's women who consider her washed up.
now we gay guys, we do like our women to look like plastic barbie dolls, a la cher, pamela anderson, britney, beyonce….hmmmm, maybe we gays do control the world!
please don't tell me you're responsible for bedazzling james….
Things are nuts when someone under 30 thinks she needs work done on her face. That shit is b-a-n-a-n-a-s
she was in a car accident and lost liek her entire eyelid. i can see going cosmeitic work crazy trying to fix your face.
It looks like a little more than just her eye. I'll have to go and look at some old pics. Maybe it's just the makeup is severe?
"please don’t tell me you’re responsible for bedazzling james"
maybe a little.
im sure she got more done, i just mean i can understand how once it starts you get outta conftrol
How do you not see your turning into a lizard face? Courtney looks better but I see the beginnings of, Phylis Diller Jr.
I can understand wanting to get the eye fixed, I really do, but her whole face has become harsh in a way that is really hard to identify. You know she's had work, but it's hard to pin down exactly what surgery she had. It's not just her eyes; her jawline, her cheeks, her mouth, it all looks a bit strained.
James, I don't buy into that. Give me a cougar like Sela Ward any day. I believe women grow into their beauty.
Jeanne Tripplehorn. LOVE HER.
I wish Cord would have provided a good before/after pic. I was googling her, and I wonder if it isn't the weight loss that made her face look "worse". Her face used to be rounder and fuller, and when she lost all that weight, it would explain the change in jawline and stuff…just throwing that out there. I concede on the work done part, just don't know that IT made all the changes in her face..
To my Dr. 90210 watching eyes, I think it's browlift, botox, skimming at the bridge of her nose, and maybe cheek implants.
Remember how hot Rose McGowan was in "Jawbreaker"?
Yes! I loved Jawbreaker.
LOL "Phyllis Diller Jr."
Be A, please tell me you're kidding. She was your first girl crush??? For real??
I liked her name too. She was so hot, and had that Gramma name. "Let Grandma Rose get you a cookie." "Come sit down next to Nana McGowan and tell me all about your day."
lol et
Sar- she was definitely one of the first (and worst, I know, I know.) Winona Ryder was DEFINITELY first. I wanted to be her and make out with her!
James- women are partly to blame for what you describe- while I might read celeb blogs I have no room and patience for celeb mags or Cosmos in my life. It's all just too depressing. But straight men are to blame as well!
Cosmo mag, I mean. And various other bloodsucking women's mags out there…
Here's an older image of Rose in scream-era, it's kind of small but a good shot…looks like she's def had some work and lost too much weight

Take your thumb, lift it to the monitor and cover *just* her eyes… I'm not seeing any other work that was done. She's 34 years old, losing the baby fat on your cheeks makes them more angular and lined, especially when you smile. If she spent a few years smoking it'd be about normal. The eyes really make her look worse, I do believe about her reconstructive eye surgery since I remember reading about the crash on yahoo news when it happened. The fact she is always so pasty-white adds to her tired look too… this one needs to reach for the fake tanner and she'd probably look 25, being that pasty makes you look your age.
