Iconic 90s actress gives rare update on life in Mexico five years after fleeing Hollywood
Rose McGowan has shared an update on her life in Mexico, where she's lived since she fled Hollywood during the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020. The 51-year-old actress — who rose to fame with roles in Scream and Charmed —flew back to the states for 90s Con in Hartford, Connecticut. While chatting on a panel with former co-star Holly Marie Combs, Rose dished on how she's faring in Yucatán. 'My father lived in Mexico for 35 years. It is an incredible country. It is so wildly geographically diverse, culturally diverse and just very, very special. There's so much joy,' she stated, according to an account from People. She added, 'My favorite word in Spanish is alegría, which means joy, and there's so much of that there, and color and passion and fun.' The silver screen siren also described the Latin American country as 'just different.' Before leaving Hollywood for a more relaxed lifestyle, she had been a prominent voice in the #MeToo movement, which saw movie mogul Harvey Weinstein brought to justice for sexual violence against women. Looking back, Rose shared during the 90s Con conversation, 'I had to talk for a lot of years, kind of more than normal people might.' 'There's a point where I just got really talked out. I just wanted to listen,' she reflected, adding, 'I wanted silence, and I wanted to listen more than I wanted to talk.' The actress acknowledged that her move hasn't been all smooth sailing. 'There's 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,' she admitted. 'You're navigating a totally different system. You learn very quickly, though,' she noted. Taking to Instagram in May, where she engages 866,000 followers, McGowan uploaded a photo of herself wearing a leopard print mini dress in Guadalajara. On Thursday Rose posted an Instagram video driving a cart around Home Depot as she revealed a black boot on her foot due to some kind of injury. She didn't explain what happened, but wrote in a playful caption: 'I can still drive at Home Depot' And on Thursday she posted a brief snippet driving a cart around Home Depot as she revealed a black boot on her foot due to some kind of injury.

She had previously announced online, 'I'm in a place called Coba (on the Yucatan peninsula). 'I knew [Covid-19] was going to get really bad in America and I had a moment to figure out where I wanted to be. My lease was up in New York so I came here to Mexico where I'm living for a third of the price. It's beautiful here.' S

Rose McGowan quit acting career for 'silence' away from Hollywood, Entertainment News
Rose McGowan quit her acting career because she wanted "silence" away from Hollywood. 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!"

Joey Lawrence recalls his first fishing trip as kid with comedy legend John Candy
Actor and musician Joey Lawrence recently recalled his first-ever fishing trip as a kid with legendary comedy star John Candy . Joey talked about the "craziest" thing that happened to him on a movie set in his more than 30-year career during the panel with his brothers Matthew Lawrence and Andrew "Andy" Lawrence at 90s Con at the Connecticut Convention Centre in Hartford, Connecticut, reported People. He recalled that he once went fishing with two famous Hollywood personalities. "I caught a flounder in St. Petersburg, Florida, with Carl Reiner, who's a very famous director, and I didn't even realise who he was, but he was very famous back in the '60s, the '50s and '70s," Joey said, as per the outlet. "Anyway, I was doing a movie called Summer Rental with John Candy. I caught a flounder. First time I'd ever fished. An incredible-sized flounder. I guess it was a massive flounder, and the chef cooked it and John Candy ate it for lunch," he continued, adding, "John Candy's the best," reported People.

Former Nickelodeon star Amanda Bynes joins OnlyFans
Amanda Bynes is stepping into the world of OnlyFans. The former Nickelodeon star, now 39, took to social media and announced that she had officially launched an account on the popular subscription platform — but with clear boundaries in place. "I'm on OnlyFans now! Disclaimer: I'm doing OnlyFans to chat with my fans through dm's [direct messages]. I won't be posting any sleazy content. Excited to join," Bynes wrote in a post made to her Instagram story. OnlyFans is a subscription-based platform that allows creators to share and monetize their content, which can be explicit. The child star shared a mirror selfie on her page, as she opted for long pointed nails, blonde wavy curls and a septum nose ring. The current price to subscribe to Bynes' page is $50 a month. "I'm on OnlyFans now! Disclaimer: I'm doing OnlyFans to chat with my fans through dm's. I won't be posting any sleazy content." "The Amanda Show" star's OnlyFans launch may give fans a glimpse into her daily life, as Bynes has maintained a relatively low profile in recent years. She had a widely publicized incident in March 2023, where the actress was placed on a 72-hour psychiatric hold after she was found walking the streets of Los Angeles naked. At the time, the Los Angeles Police Department confirmed to Fox News Digital that their team responded to a call on March 19 at 6:45 a.m. to a 36-year-old female standing "completely nude" on the corner of Vermont Avenue and 4th Street. The LAPD noted that Bynes appeared to be "suffering from mental illness," and based on statements she made, she was put on a psychiatric hold. Officers also confirmed that Bynes was taken to the hospital. The child star was additionally absent at the 90s Con event in Hartford, Connecticut, that year despite being scheduled to appear, but her former "All That" co-star Kel Mitchell shared an emotional message as Bynes missed the cast reunion. "I've just been praying for her," Mitchell said during an interview with Entertainment Tonight. "It's awesome to see she's doing better. Which is great. We're just continuing to pray for her on her journey, and it's answered prayers that she's doing a lot better." Bynes canceled her 90s Con appearance due to an "unknown illness," according to the media outlet. Bynes' attendance at the media convention would've been her first public appearance after her eight-year conservatorship ended in March 2022. At 10, Bynes landed a role on Nickelodeon's sketch series "All That" in 1996 and was a breakout star. In 1999, she got her own spin-off sketch show, "The Amanda Show," which ran for three seasons until 2002. She made her feature film debut in 2002 in "Big Fat Liar," alongside fellow child star Frankie Muniz. That same year, she landed a starring role alongside Jennie Garth on the WB sitcom "What I Like About You." In 2010, the "Easy A" actress announced she planned to go on an indefinite hiatus from acting. Three years after that announcement, the California-born star was placed under a conservatorship.
