Engagement Over for Rose McGowan and Robert Rodriguez

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrity Gossip

Rose McGowan has broken off her engagement - again.

The former Charmed star has split from director Robert Rodriguez for the second time since they got engaged in October 2007. Rose and Robert have yet to release a statement explaining the reason for the break-up.

The pair met in 2007 when the 36-year-old actress starred in Rodriguez’s film Planet Terror. After a whirlwind romance, Rodriguez divorced his wife of 16 years and proposed to Rose. The pair split less than one year later, only to reconcile after a few months apart. They were reportedly planning to wed this year.

If the split is permanent, the two are likely to have a difficult few months ahead. Rose is appearing in Rodriguez’s upcoming film Machete, and Red Sonja, which he is producing.

The director is not the first man Rose has had second thoughts about. She also backed out of her two-year engagement to Marilyn Manson in 2001 due to “lifestyle differences.”

Jason Statham Avoids Ex at GQ Awards

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Action, Thrillers, Awards, Celebrity Gossip, Rumors

For someone who stars in action-packed films like Transporter and Death Race, it’s rather laughable that Jason Statham avoided ex-girlfriend Kelly Brook at an awards ceremony.

Statham, who presented the accolade for International Man to Mickey Rourke at the GQ Men of the Year Awards, reportedly wouldn’t take his place at his dinner table because Kelly was sitting five tables away.

The Hollywood action star only joined his fellow diners at London’s Royal Opera House after Kelly—who he split from in 2004—had presented a prize to British comic Michael McIntyre.

A source told Britain’s Daily Mirror, “Kelly was a huge part of Jason’s life, and clearly he still has feelings for her. Also she looked stunning and Jason was there with his girlfriend—he didn’t want the pair meeting. Rather than risk an awkward encounter, he didn’t sit down for dinner straight away. Instead a member of GQ’s staff took his place.”

At the after-party for the awards ceremony, Jason continued to keep his distance from Kelly, who is now dating rugby star Danny Cipriani. The source added, “It was a pretty awkward situation. Kelly’s name is a no-go with Jason’s friends—no reference was made to her being there all night. Fortunately, Kelly was oblivious to it all and was just having a laugh.”

Drew Barrymore’s Ex Drops Out of Her Film

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Adaptation, Comedy, Sports, Casting, Celeb News, Rumors

There’s a reason why they say you should never date a co-worker…

Nearly a month after breaking up with Drew Barrymore, Live Free or Die Hard‘s Justin Long has reportedly dropped out of his next film. The actor, who had been dating the free-spirited actress for about a year, was scheduled to star in Whip It!, Barrymore’s directorial debut.

According to E!, Long chose to back out of the movie shortly before shooting was scheduled to begin. The 30-year-old is supposedly still too “distraught” by the break-up to work under Barrymore. (Apparently some actors can’t separate their emotions from their work.) Unfortunately, distancing himself from the roller derby film won’t necessarily help Justin avoid Drew. The two still have to promote He’s Just Not That Into You later next year.
