TV Guide celebrated Charmed's 100th episode with a great article, and covers for each of our fav witches... Rosa
				Rose McGowan is running on 90 minutes of sleep, but that’s not why she’s in a daze.  “I just bought these in New York,” she says, running her hands over a pair of Alexander McQueen heels “Aren't they gorgeous?” Despite a dangerously high heel, they are surprisingly dainty.  “Size 5 ½,” says the 5-foot-4 actress.
Not nearly so big as the shoes she had to fill when she joined Charmed last season after Shannen Doherty’s tumultuous exit.  Executive producer Kern says “it was crucial we not try to replace Shannen” in casting new witch Paige.  “We needed someone with a different personality, and Rose is certainly unique.” Take, for example, the way in which the 28-year-old actress psyched herself up for the show’s current season: by dyeing her dark-chocolate locks red and seeking out a hypnotist. “you can have a bit of a “Groundhog Day” scenario doing this job,” explains McGowan, who broke off an engagement with shock rocker Marilyn Manson in 2001 and now dates Men’s Health editor-in-chief Dave Zinczenko, 33.  “I was having a hard time with the idea of doing something every day again and again for nine months.  It sounds bizarre, but hypnosis really wound up helping.”

Not that the role of TV star will ever be quite a perfect fit.  When Charmed ends, “I’ll go back to making movies,” says McGowan, who starred in “Scream” (1996) and the indie film “The Doom Generation” (1995). “I’m just more suited to that gypsyish lifestyle,” she says of the feature-film world. She reaches for her heels, which she plans to wear out later that night.  “But hey, I wouldn’t have known that had I not done this, and that’s something.”
