Actress Rose McGowan has been fired by her acting agent after she criticised a casting call for a forthcoming Adam Sandler movie.

The former Charmed star revealed on Twitter that she attended an audition where a script note informed the auditionee that "push-up bras (are) encouraged".

She explained that the name of the film's male lead rhymed with "Madam Panhandler".

McGowan insisted she was "not trying to vilify Adam Sandler".

She has since returned to the microblogging site to reveal that her outburst cost her a valuable contact.

The awesome thing about being an artist? You can't be fired from your own mind. #FREEDOM
