For several months, it’s been rather obvious that Rose McGowan has been angling for the role of Barbarella in the upcoming remake of the original 1968 eponymous film. I hoped Robert Rodriguez wouldn’t go there, and when Rose began to flaunt an engagement ring, I still kept the faith. Now, these fears have been confirmed:

A highly reliable source tells ELLE.com exclusively that Rose McGowan is slipping into a fur bikini and major bouffant to take on the title role in the remake of Barbarella. Robert Rodriguez, who left his wife after falling for McGowan on the Grindhouse set, is directing and has cast his love in the part made famous by Jane Fonda. While the rumor mill placed everyone from Halle Berry to Kate Beckinsale and Nicole Kidman in the role of Queen of the Galaxy, it seems he’s found the perfect Barbarella in McGowan.

C’mon, Robbie Rod. Admittedly, Rose is pretty damn hot, and I loved Grindhouse to an unnatural extent, but Rose starred in the double feature that lost tens of millions of dollars at the box office. Now you’ve immediately cast her as the lead actress in another film? Stop thinking with your dick, dude.
