Rose McGowan has clearly been raising her profile this fashion week. In addition to the Tommy Hilfiger after-party and the Preen show, she made it to Donna Karan Monday afternoon. McGowan, who just starred in Conan the Barbarian in a role that had her look “completely insane with prosthetics,” her next role is in a television film called The Pastor’s Wife. “I am playing an invisible woman,” she said. “It’s the hardest part I have ever done.” She was far from invisible at the Donna Karan show, though, wearing a striking red Donna Karan dress replete with matching lipstick. She clearly loves the fashion spectacle. “It’s like running on fumes, but goddamit we all look pretty,” she said.
Today is the day our most beloved leading lady, Miss Rose McGowan, turns 38 years old. On behalf of all of the fans, we’d like to wish Rose a lovely birthday filled with love and laughter!
Please feel free to leave any birthday messages for Rose here, at the forum or, of course, by sending her a message via Twitter.
In celebration of the special occasion we present you a video created by the staff of Rose-McGowan.com with additional contributions from the fans. The video features clips of some of our favourite Rose scenes and performances set to some great pieces of music. We hope you enjoy!
Rose McGowan is preparing to embark on her second USO tour visiting U.S. troops in Afghanistan. And while the Grindhouse star was a big hit on hertrip last year, she said it has nothing to do with her star power.
“The last time I was in Afghanistan, it was my favorite trip I’ve ever had, and I’ve had some amazing trips in my life. But it’s bizarre to me that it would make anyone happy that I’m there. But I think I represent home. That’s all, it’s not about me,” McGowan told FOX411’s Pop Tarts column at the “Do Something” Awards Show in Los Angeles over the weekend. “They get really sad and forget because they feel like people have forgotten them, so I’m just a representative, a vessel, showing that people are thinking of them.”
McGowan, also a long-standing champion for gay marriage, is urging fellow Americans to keep pushing for the federal legalization of gay marriage ahead of next year’s election.
“It should be across the board. It’s really absurd that it’s not a right and the idea that it takes away from people’s sanctity of marriage, I think we should just watch Jerry Springer and see how those people feel about the sanctity about their marriage,” she continued. “If people rise up, the government follows. You have to put pressure on your local representatives, your city council, then your congressmen, then your senators. You have to understand all this is a phone call away, even an email away, and they really respond to that.”

The article and photoshoot for Prestige is now available on the magazine’s official website, or alternatively can be read in our library.
In the interview Rose goes on to talk about her role in Conan, the TV movie she’s been filming (if you’ve been following her on twitter you are surely curious about it!), and her image in Hollywood.
Well, if you actually think about it, I’ve never been arrested, I’ve never been busted for drugs, never got arrested for drunk driving, never gotten out of the car without my underwear on. There’s actually nothing that I have done in my life that would actually fit the bad-girl image. That’s the funniest part of it all, and all of my friends know. That’s why they laugh.
