You’ve probably heard the Quentin Tarantino-Robert Rodriguez movie Grindhouse comes out this Friday (Looks Bad-Ass BTW). It would have been released sooner but production was halted last April because of a run-of-the-mill “leading actress was doing the director and his wife of 16 years and mother of his five children–who is also the co-producer–found out and got really pissed off and divorced his ass” kind of problem. From a source, via the New York Post:

“It was the worst-kept secret on the set. They were going off to his trailer, having meals together. Rose thought some of the crew were treating her differently, and the attitude was, like, well what do you expect when you’re [bleeping] the director?”

“When Elizabeth found out, there was an eruption of emotions – an emotional volcano.”

Rodriguez and Avellan insist that their separation is amicable and that they plan to raise their four boys, Rebel, Rocket, Rogue and Racer, and daughter, Rhiannon, together and continue their partnership in Troublemaker Studios.
