We have new looks on our message board and Twitter. Check them out!

First of all, thank you for all of the lovely comments regarding our new layout. We really appreciate all of your input on the new design.

Oh boy, you’re in for a rare treat today! It is not often that we come across never-before-seen old photos of Ms. McGowan these days. However, our much beloved forum member mcgowanfan came across this photo of Rose from the September 1996 issue of L’Uomo Vogue that I really have never seen before – and it is nothing short of breath-taking! What a rare gem!

Another great member of our forum, Tatum R., scanned another rare piece for us, a photo of Rose with Scream cast members Matthew Lillard, Courteney Cox and David Arquette that was featured in the September 1998 issue Roadshow (Japan), as well as accompanying articles on Scream and Nowhere.

Thanks again to mcgowanfan and Tatum R. for taking the time to scan these features and share with us!

Welcome back to Rose-McGowan.com! As you have probably noticed the site has been unavailable for many days now. This was because we were super busy working behind the scenes.

As you can see we have a brand new look! It was created by myself and I know it’s a little nontraditional – but we wanted to go with a truly personal touch this time! So I really hope you like it. The image is from Rose’s Blender shoot from 2004, one of our all time favorites. The site has only been tested in IE and while it is viewable it is best viewed in Mozilla Firefox. I will try to work out anymore IE bugs that I can possibly fix. Feel free to report any problems you might find.

Secondly, the site’s pages have been fully re-coded from top-to-bottom! Everything is now fully up-to-date so be sure to check out some of the new contents. Something new and exciting that we wish to point you in the direction of is the launching of McGowan Media, our brand new streaming video archive of Rose McGowan clips! Grab some popcorn and enjoy tons of wonderful Rose videos, many of which are new to the site!

And that is not all… A few new fun additions will be added soon, as well as a new forum theme!

We hope you like all of the new site improvements. We’ve worked incredibly hard on continuing to bring you the most comprehensive Rose resource! Any and all feedback is warmly welcome!
