Rose McGowan quit acting career for 'silence' away from Hollywood, Entertainment News
The 51-year-old star played Paige Matthews on the hit series Charmed but moved to Mexico in 2020 after realising that she could do what her character did in terms of activism in her real life and wanted to "listen" to others.
Speaking as part of a panel at 90s Con in Connecticut, she said: "My father lived in Mexico for 35 years and mi gusta Mexico. Te quiero much, mi amores. It is an incredible country. It is so wildly geographically diverse, culturally diverse and just very, very special. There's so much joy.
"My favourite word in Spanish is alegria, which means joy, and there's so much of that there and colour and passion and fun and different... just different. And you know I had to talk for a lot of years, kind of more than normal people might.
"At one point, you know, as Paige was a social worker and I was raised in a commune growing up in Italy to be kind of a volunteer, and I kind of thought, 'Well, I can also do this in real life. Away from this.'
"There's a point where I just got really talked out. I just wanted to listen. I wanted silence, and I wanted to listen more than I wanted to talk."
The Scream actress does find it a "challenge" to be living somewhere where she isn't fluent in the language but has always been of an "adventurous" nature and recently embraced the idea of going to the "most remote location" she could find.
She said: "There are things about it that are difficult, just like anywhere, and it's certainly a challenge sometimes, doing things when, at first, you don't really know the language. You're navigating a totally different system. You learn very quickly, though.
"I like adventure. I've kind of always been the adventurous sort. I always kind of lived in dense areas, so at one point I went to like the most remote location in this area in Mexico that I'm at. It was just me and my dog and a metal pipe for a shower.
"That was it, and I was grateful, right? And the gratitude that you feel for smaller things, because you have to fight for them and you appreciate them!"

Maluma stops concert to reprimand fan who brought along a baby, Entertainment News
Maluma stopped his concert to reprimand a fan who had brought along a baby. The 31-year-old singer was performing in Mexico City over the weekend when he noticed an infant in the audience without ear protection, prompting him to accuse the tot's mom of treating her child "like they're a toy" and insisting he would never take his daughter Paris, 17 months, to a concert at such a young age. In a video shared on X and translated from Spanish by Variety, the Colombian performer said: "With all due respect… how old are they? A year old? Less? A year. "Do you think it's a good idea to bring a one-year-old baby to a concert where the decibels are this f****** high?" "Where the sound is this loud? That baby doesn't even know what it's doing here. "Next time, protect their ears or something. For real. It's heavy. It's your responsibility. "You're waving them around like they're a toy. That baby doesn't want to be there, for real. I'm telling you with all love and respect, now that I'm a father… would never bring them to a concert. "For the next time, be a bit more aware." The Sobrio singer — whose real name is Juan Luis Londoño Arias — previously spoke of how much he loves the way his life has changed sine girlfriend Susana Gomez gave birth to their daughter. He told Allure last year: "Everything changed. And I love it. "Now, I wake up every day with the desire to conquer the world. I know I have to f****** kill it." And Maluma has vowed to set the best example possible to his little girl. He said: "For Paris, nothing is impossible. You have to lead by example. "I go to bed every night that I can at 9 and wake up at 5.30 to hit the gym because I want to be healthy. You want to live forever for your kids. I want to make her proud." The Hawái hitmaker also noted that while the "essence" of his image of a bad boy on stage still remains, he is "more mature" since becoming a dad and is managing to find the balance between his public persona and family life, even though it can be "difficult" at times. He said: "It's still the same essence, but more mature I would say, and more chill. I'm just vibing. I'm having fun being with my family, but I'm also having fun being onstage. I'm doing things that I love, and finally, I feel like I'm on the right path. It's difficult to find that balance, but I'm there. I'm there and working for it." [[nid:720980]]

Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt Buys LA Mansion Bigger Than the White House for $110M
Eric Schmidt, the former Google CEO, has hit the headlines by purchasing a mansion bigger than the White House and one of the seven wonders of the world, the Taj Mahal, in California, USA, for the price of $110 million. The sprawling property, located in the Holmby Hills neighborhood, covers 56,500 square feet and sits on nearly five acres of land. The property was originally built by television producer Aaron Spelling in 1990. X The mansion has had several owners one after another after that, with Schmidt as the most recent one. The recent sale has been one of the most expensive real estate deals in the US this year. Drew Fenton, CEO of Beverly Hills-based Carolwood Estates, represented the seller and broke the news on social media. Fenton also stated that this is the priciest market deal, along with one more Bel-Air property, this year. Eric Schmidt, who was Google's CEO from 2001 to 2011 and executive chairman from 2011 to 2015, has an estimated net worth of $25.5 billion. He and his wife plan to rename the estate "594," which refers to its address, Drew Fenton, CEO of Beverly Hills-based Carolwood Estates. The property was earlier known as Drew Fenton, CEO of Beverly Hills-based Carolwood Estates. While the price of the mansion sounds to be too high, the Schmidts have got it on a discounted rate, as it was once listed for $137.5 million after a long time on the market. In 2019 British heiress Petra Ecclestone, daughter of Formula One's Bernie Ecclestone, had purchased it for $120 million. The property has 14 bedrooms and 27 bathrooms, along with luxurious amenities like a two-lane bowling alley, a large wine cellar, a beauty salon with massage and tanning rooms, and a 20-seat screening room with massage and tanning rooms. It also has a 20-seat screening room with a 60-foot screen that retracts into the floor. It also includes a tennis court and a swimming pool built with 170,000 individual glass tiles. Schmidt and his wife plan to use the mansion for non-profit events and social gatherings linked to Los Angeles' cultural and charitable institutions. The couple also plans to renovate the property to make it more energy efficient. The home was constructed at the peak of Aaron Spelling's career when he produced hit TV shows like Charlie's Angels, Beverly Hills 90210, and Charmed. Now, in the hands of a tech billionaire, it differs and moves into another era: a mash-up of its glamorous past and vision for something very modern.
