Rose McGowan, who changed her hair color several times during her run on Charmed, tried a strawberry blonde hue in 2007, before returning to her roots. (She went blonde for Scream in the late ’90s, too.) With several acting projects in the pipeline, we’re assuming the star made this most recent change for a role, as well. Looks like Rose McGowan is going to be having a little more fun these days. The actress debuted a new blonde ‘do while out in West Hollywood over the weekend, making a major
SMH… Some Latino folk have serious “complexion” issues — and have gone to extremes to keep the kids lightskinned! Just ask Michelle Rodriguez , who recently learned that many of her ancestors wed their first cousins. Michelle Rodriguez Learned Her Ancestors Practiced Incest To Keep The Bloodline Lightskinned “Lost” hottie MICHELLE RODRIGUEZ is the product of kissing cousins! The 33-year-old actress recently learned that her great-great grandparents on her father’s side were first cousins — and that several more of her dad’s relatives practiced inbreeding! “I guess my father’s side loved to do it in the family,” quipped Michelle, who soared to stardom in the 2000 indie hit “Girlfight.” Researchers discovered her family’s incestuous link when Michelle’s genealogical background was explored on the PBS show “Finding Your Roots with Henry Louis Gates, Jr.” she also Learned that three of her great-grandfathers were brothers, and that her father’s Puerto Rican ancestors deliberately married family members in a practice known as endogamy. They inbred in a bid to maintain the family’s lighter skin color because they believed lighter-skinned people were more high class than dark-skinned folks. The “Avatar” actress, who was born in San Antonio, Texas, said that she witnessed the effects of endogamy first-hand as a child when her father’s light-skinned Puerto Rican family looked down on her mother’s darker relatives from the Dominican Republic. Her parents divorced when she was 8, and Michelle — who has several DUI busts under her belt — credits her difficult childhood for her tough-girl image both on and off the screen. “My dad was so clouded and miserable part of the time, so he just hit the bottle hard,” she said. “My mom wasn’t about that stuff.” On the PBS show, the “Machete” star was also stunned to learn that her DNA lineage was 72 percent European, 21 percent black and 6 percent Native American. “I’m appalled,” said Michelle. “I’m European? Ewww! I wanted to be Native American!” As for the news that she’s got a lot of African- American blood, Michelle said: “I need to shoot over there (Africa) and get in touch with my roots.” And commenting on her ancestors’ marital history, the still-single beauty told a pal: “Even though my great-grandparents were first cousins, I don’t think I’ll ever go down that path if I ever get married.” So does this mean Michelle will settle down with a nice brownskinned lady partner when she’s ready?

John Travolta is being sued for molesting a dude… I think it is Karma for not treating his autistic kid and not recognizing autism like he doesn’t recognize his homosexuality …. The kid ended up slipping in the shower and dying exposing Travolta’s lie….kinda like slipping up on the wrong masseuse, trying to shove his dick inside his mouth, exposing his other lie….that he’s a homo…. I have no sympathy for people who are full of shit. That said, my homie at SPEEDMONKEY , lives in LA and has this story about John Travolta…that is one of the many that don’ run in the media because he is rich and they never side with the truth….because they just assume people are trying to milk a motherfucker’s fame/money when in reality it is that motherfucker who wants to be milked by us.. About 15 years ago, I had heard a story from a guy who worked as a waiter in Malibu. My buddy was cornered by Travolta at in a sauna in Santa Monica. He had snuck in and Travolta mistook him for a prostitute he had ordered. They sat in the sauna talking for 5 min and my buddy thought, how cool is this? Then Travolta took off his towel and started stroking it. Then he came over and tried to make him suck it! He ran out of there! Being an actor is not a straight job, it is some self involved, narcissitic bullshit career that does get a lot of pussy, but these aren’t normal people…they aren’t even straight or gay, they just love themselves and love being praised, wherever that comes….makes them come….that’s my theory anyway…. From Tom Cruise, Will Smith, Rock Hudson, the list of closet cases is endless in their world…dude should probably doing something good for the movement rather than hiding it like a dirty secret… Either way, he’s a pussy….who likes his asshole used as a pussy. Fuck him. He’ll like it. THE EXCLUSIVE STORY IS VIA SPEEDMONKEY
I guess she’s trying to get in touch with her hood side she never had…cuz she’s white and suburban…. She’s probably got another role as a black woman….so she’s gotta go research the shit so people give her an Academy Award again and praise her for the plight of her people…like she’s some kind of spokesperson…even though we all know she’s just a white chick, black enough for the execs to hire and be comfortable with, to market as a black chick so they don’t get called racist when they go back to their roots and put an actual white person in blackface to avoid hiring a sister…. Either way….it is funny to watch. To See The Rest of the Pics FOLLOW THIS LINK
Is Alicia’s family hiding something??? Alicia Keys Mysteriously Declines An Offer To Appear On “Finding Your Roots” Dr. Henry Louis Gates is a foremost authority on Black history in America and the host of a TV program called “Finding Your Roots” where he does a thorough breakdown of celebrities’ (mostly African-America) family tree to give them more information about where they’re really from. Several celebs have participated in the PBS show including Chris Rock, Samuel L. Jackson, Barbara Walters, Condoleezza Rice, and Robert Downey Jr. to name a few. In a recent interview, Gates was asked if any celebs had ever decided to turn down the chance to discover their ancestry and he replied that indeed two people had rejected the offer. One of which was Colin Powell, the other, Grammy award-winning singer, mother, and wife of Swizz “Beaks” Beatz, Alicia Keys. Though Colin Powell simply stated that he “had too many cousins already” to participate, Alicia Keys reasoning for accepting, then later declining the offer was a little less specific. According to Dr. Gates : “Alicia Keys, who I love as a friend of mine, agreed to be in the first series, and as you know, she’s mixed. Her African-American grandmother said ‘Baby…’, we send people a form, we need as much information as you can give us. Like the names of your parents, where they were born, grandparents etc., whatever you can give us. It makes our job a lot simpler right? Her grandmother said ‘Baby, you can’t be in the series. I can’t tell you why, but you can’t be in the series.’ With so much diversity in her family it would have been very interesting to hear more about her parents background. But for whatever reason it sounds like Grandmama Keys might not have wanted the beans spilled about any shady goings-on that might have occured with the fam over the course of history. Alicia would have been the first person with a biracial background to be a part of the heralded series. More On Bossip!
