Describing Hell on Wheels as "Revenge in the mud" makes it sound a lot more enjoyable than it is. AMC's sprawling but heavy-handed attempt to revive and redefine the Western (a newly hot TV-development trend) is solemn business indeed, with precious little wit or originality. (It premieres Sunday at 10/9c.)

Rose McGowan
NBC's Law & Order: SVU has conjured up one wicked guest star for an upcoming spring episode. Former Charmed witch Rose McGowan, who played the bewitching Paige on the long-running WB hit, has been cast as another kind of temptress.
"Our episode is called Bombshell and Rose McGowan is the ultimate bombshell," SVU executive producer Neal Baer told me this past weekend at the Writer's Guild Awards. "Rose plays a grifter named Cassandra who strikes swinging men who frequent sex clubs. And we're very excited to have her."
The 37-year-old beauty...

Fox is still pondering Prison Break: Cherry Hill.HBO and Alan Ball are bringing Bad Girls across the pond.But lest the tube not have enough women-in-prison drama, the Reporter says that film auteur Robert Rodriguez is shopping around Women in Chains! (yes, with the bang), a "violent drama" fronted by no less than his fiancée, Rose McGowan (whom he met and fell in love with on the Planet Terror set). Currently being eyed by networks such as NBC and FX, WiC! would be directed by R-Rod and feature "1970s exploitation" touches like mud wrestling.

Rose McGowan, The Essentials and Grindhouse Presents: Death Proof
While The Essentials (Saturdays at 8 pm/ET, TCM) is all about celebrating classic cinema, the series gets a very contemporary cohost tonight when Charmed vet and cult-film favorite Rose McGowan joins Robert Osborne to discuss March's top-notch titles, starting with 1969's The Apartment. She can also be seen this weekend in Quentin Tarantino's 2007 action flick, Grindhouse Presents: Death Proof (Saturday at 9 pm/ET, Starz), and from what we can tell, this lovely and well-informed Rose is capable of rising to any occasion.
TV Guide: With your edgy résumé, this isn't a gig most folks would imagine you doing.Rose McGowan: Misconceptions abound about me. I guess I'm not one of those people who demystifies everything by discussing their personal life. But there are different aspects to me and I've been really obsessed [with film] for as long as I can remember.
