Rose to be Red Sonja

Robert Rodriguez will produce a new big-screen adaptation of Red Sonja, with his real-life flame Rose McGowan to play the flame-haired comic-book vixen. Douglas Aarniokoski will direct the film, expected to release in 2010, according to USA Today.

"I was surprised when Rose brought me a script of Red Sonja that she liked," Rodriguez says from his home base of Austin, where he is shooting Shorts, a family film with James Spader and Jon Cryer. "I found it very entertaining. Sonja was strong, smart, cunning - just about everything she'd have to be to survive."

The story will take its cues from the comic books as well as works by pulp novelist Robert E. Howard, father of the original Sonja (then spelled Sonya) and "Conan the Barbarian" (also undergoing a movie revival).

"Howard's goal was always, first and foremost, to spin a good yarn and to entertain," says Rodriguez, who is hoping his Red Sonja turns into a franchise. "That's our goal."

Production will begin in October.

Photos of Holly's son Riley

Charmed and Picket Fences star Holly Marie Combs welcomed her second son Riley Edward Donoho back in October 2006, and has been leading a quiet life since, raising Riley and big brother Finley Arthur, 4, away from the bright lights of Hollywood. Therefore, we were pleasantly surprised to hear from Holly earlier today. She sent a short note dismissing the speculation and rumors a few Charmed fans have stirred up as to why she's kept private, and enclosed some photos of her youngest son. These are the first images she's chosen to make public.

There has been a lot of speculation about Riley since I decided to lead a more private and normal life. I have not released a picture of him because I thought it unnecessary for a stay-at-home mom with nothing to promote but breastfeeding! Because [CBB] has always been so kind and respectful to me, as well as some of my friends, I wantned to send this in an effort to kill all the rumors about my perfectly healthy, really cute (in my biased opinion!) baby boy, who is 18 months old now.
- Holly

McGowan hoping for a strike break so she can nurse sick dog

Actress Rose McGowan is quietly praying for a summer (08) actor’s strike - so she can spend time at home with her sick dog.
The Grindhouse star recently learned her 11-year-old terrier, Fester, has a brain tumour and now all she wants to do is spend time with her beloved pooch.
She tells PlanetGossip.Eonline.com, "Five weeks ago he was jumping in the air." Ongoing talks between studio bosses and acting union officials are trying to resolve issues before a strike is necessary, but McGowan really wouldn’t mind a long summer break.
She adds, "I’ll get to spend more time with Fester."

A possible strike will also give the actress the chance to rest up after smashing her leg.
Hobbling McGowan has been told she has to wear a leg brace for the next six weeks.
She reveals, "I had a fight with a wall, and the wall won. It sucks."

More about Alyssa's new show

"My brothers hot (and other dilemmas) (a.k.a. untitled Kristin Newman project) (ABC) - Alyssa Milano ("My Name Is Earl") is in talks to play the lead role in the comedy pilot, about a thirtysomething woman (Milano) who tries to break free of her overbearing and dysfunctional family, friends and boss.

Her character, Louisa "Lou," is further detailed in the casting notice as follows: "Early 30s, Female, a bit rumpled and girl-next-door pretty, intelligent, with a sense of humor, selfless. Lou has never gotten married or even managed much of a life of her own because she's always been caught up in the lives of her parents: her larger-than-life, selfish, charming mother, Elizabeth, and her irresponsible father, Joe, both of whom got divorced when she was 12. Something of a mother figure to Joe's young children by his second wife, Lou works at a literacy program funded by a famous playboy athlete, and is pretty much put herself in call to the catastrophes/demands of both her parents. Urged by her best friend Sasha to get some "me" time and go out of town to hook up with The Nice Chicago Guy, Lou finds her plans put off - again - when her dad drops his latest bomb: he's marrying again, his kids are in rebellion, his new fiance has a hunky 35 year old son who's perfect for Lou, and worst of all--her mother chooses this moment to decide to devote the rest of her life to her relationship to Lou."

The single-camera half-hour comes from creator Kristin Newman and co-producers ABC Studios and DreamWorks Television."

Forget about a Book of Shadows or Ouija Board replica.
If you have money to spare (a lot of money actually) get the Charmed Miniature Manor.

"An enchanting miniature of the house the girls lived in, this house really isn't so little. This custom made house is complete with doors that open and close, curtained windows with faux stain-glass and a pillared entrance . It is three dimensional in form and is delightfully detailed down to its "brick" layering. The house comes with a plug access that will illuminate the entire manor. This house was used during filming and for many other uses. It was most notably seen in the episode titled "Scry Hard" from Season 7 when Wyatt shrunk Piper and Leo to keep them safe in the house! This is a feature piece not to be forgotten!
Approximately 28" tall, 25" deep, 32" wide.
"

And it only costs $15,000.00!

So, start saving.
