Milla Jovovich: "I love guns."

Milla Jovovich: Shooting Star

BY MARC S. MALKIN

Don't be surprised to find Milla Jovovich joining NRA president Charlton Heston at a gun-rights rally. After several months of combat training to prepare for her role as a zombie killer in Resident Evil, a new sci-fi movie based on the popular video game, the starlet has a newfound affinity for firearms and has become a regular at her local Los Angeles shooting range.

"I love guns," she told us while signing autographs at Planet Hollywood in Times Square last week. "I just get such a sense of power. The karate and kickboxing was okay, but give me a gun and I can do serious damage." She doesn't have her own gun yet, but may get one soon: "A handgun, obviously -- I mean, the machine guns are a little heavy and complicated."

Great...a macho woman with a gun...just the image we need (sigh). As if this battle isn't HARD ENOUGH to fight without this. But I'll take her over Rosie O'Phonie any day!

Have you seen her Acting???? She is a model/actress. But I did love her in 5th Element and the commericals for the new movie sound really interesting.

Hopefully I'm wrong. But "fitting in" politically in Hollwood has its benefits. Standing out can make one a social pariah and cause damage to one's career. I seem to recall hearing that Bo Derek thought her political beliefs (GOP) cost her jobs, but I'm not 100% sure.

I don't understand your disdain. She's not a "macho woman with a gun" -- she looks attractive, and she seems able to defend herself. She's not even in same stratosphere as Rosie.

I don't know about that. You would think Alec Baldwin's activism "fits in" but he really doesn't get the jobs anywmore.

"Give me a gun and I can do serious damage" sounds more offensive than defensive....Thats why I (maybe mistakenly) said "Macho woman with a gun". It's better to walk softly and carry a BIG STICK, so to speak.
