roseface

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.

    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?

    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!

    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?

    No. 18 blah says:

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.
