Rose McGowan is my favourite Charmed lass by miles, and as well as escaping the Hollywood rigmarole,she is a volunteer, an activist, and downright solid human. This is what she did recently.

"Friends, tonight I took off the public mask of celebrity and revealed who I am. (Sidenote: It was fucking intense.) A little bit about me- I have lived a very big life... an extraordinary life, and a very private life. I worked hard to live how I wanted- freely. So I used celebrity as a sort of cover. Behind the scenes, I spent countless hours honing my skills and becoming a master of many disciplines. Directing, writing, music, my photography, animal rescue, volunteering... Acting was my day job. And I worked very, very hard to survive Hollywood and to try not to lose it and stay in tact as a human. It took years to deprogram. I'm almost totally me again. And who I am is an artist on all fronts. Anyway, I've used my time out of the public eye to recover from deaths, catastrophic accidents, tragedies and soulful travel. I built up my strength, survived Hollywood, and patched myself back up and now I've become fully me in public. I no longer care to hide.I am the daughter of a leader, I come from a family of military men and wildly inventive artists. Thank fucking God. My dad and mom would be and are proud of me, and really, that's all that matters. All of my years of private activism and volunteering are now public. So now you know. And like G.I. Joe said,"Knowing is half the battle."
Right on!

And apparently, horrifying to the powers that be, that someone called them on the BS behind their "all-one-America" images.
