Rumor has it that Christina Ricci wasn’t the first choice for Speed Racer.  The first choice was actually Rose McGowan’s other face.  You know…this one….

Apparently, Marilyn Manson’s very pale ex went under the knife for a car accident-related eye injury.  And when she came out?  Freak show.

Insiders are saying that the movie studio felt that Rose was now unrecognizable and that by the time the movie was due out, fans might no longer know who she is.

Our question is, with all that make-up making her look like the walking undead, who knows what she really looks like anyway?
