Switching locales?

Actress ROSARIO DAWSON is having a great time moving in with her boyfriend JASON LEWIS – because he’s allowed her to take charge of all of the decorating.Dawson recently left her base in San Francisco to move further down the California coastline to Los Angeles, where former SEX AND THE CITY hunk Lewis already has a home.And she’s having a great time adding her personal touch to her beau’s home.She says, “We’re working on our house. It’s our first and most important project right now.”He lets me make all the decisions and this way we’re really getting along. It’s amazing how people can get into huge arguments over something as simple as a rug!” [ SOURCE ]As a sidenote, I find Contact Music to be one of the most unreliable of sources, considering Rosario is based in New York and not in San Francisco, hence this goes in the rumors section.

Everyone should join this

Crys, one of my favorite people in the world, now runs the new Rosario Dawson Fanlisting. Currently there are only six other people on the list aside from her and I and I know there are more fans out there so please, support my friend, join the list. For other Rosario related fanlistings check out our fanlistings section which will be updated again today.

Of course I always forget something

I should probably add a mention fo two recent appearances Rosario made out in California. On June 4th Rosario walked the runway for the United Nations World Environment Day Fashion Show out in San Francisco. The proceeds of the event went towards all charities that preserve the Earth for future generations. On June 11th, Rosario attended the 19th Annual Fulfillment Fund “Achievement Awards”. According to the site: “the awards program allows us to proudly honor all of our graduating high school and college seniors who have overcome great obstacles to reach their goals, as well as the parents, mentors, teachers and counselors who have inspired them.” According to U-Daily News, during her presentation to the recepients Rosario offered the following advice: “When you make a mistake, just dust yourself off, get up and enjoy the ride.”Photos from both events will soon be added to the gallery.

We’re still alive I swear

Sorry for the lack of updating but a girl has to work ya know? Don’t you fret kids I’ll make the best of upcoming time off to reinstall the last few odds and ends to this thing, cappishe?Anyway, Decent which I mentioned a small while back, is going to be produced by Rosario’s production company Trybe Films as well as MEGA Films’ Morris S. Levy. Filming is set to begin in September. In August 10th, Rosario is scheduled to do a lecture of sorts for the Learning Annex. You can find more information here. The appearance is $30 per person, and up until July 15th you can bring a friend for just $10 more. Register before all the spots fill up. Unlike I reported previous Rosario actually did join the rest of the cast out in Santa Fe to film a few shots for Rent. Her last scene was filmed at The Plaza in New Mexico, you can read more about it here.Speaking of Rent!

Overdue update

Rosario will be done filming RENT by the end of this week, production will continue in Santa Fe with mainly the male cast members for a number in the film. Speaking of the film, on the 19th Access Hollywood went behind the scenes as they shot the sequence to La Vie Boheme. If you missed it, don’t fret! The lovely people behind Forget-Regret sent over a copy of the show for all of you to download. Please right-click and save target as. It requires DivX to play.Not enough for you? Me either. Obviously I’m extra corny today, anyway, a teaser trailer to the film was released in select cities to screen prior to the Star Wars film as well as Crash. Some extremely devoted fan taped it off the screen and uploaded it online for all of you to view. Not fabulous quality, but rest assured, it’s worth the watch. Right click, save target as.On a final note, some news via Chelle, a fellow fan. Rosario was recently featured on a San Francisco based radio show entitled “Radio Alice”. No word yet as to when this appearance was or anything of the sort, but you may view photos from the appearance here. Thank you Chelle for the info.

MOVIE INSIDER: Rosario Dawson in Down-spiral

“Sounds like Rosario Dawson is taking a walk on the wild side — and then some — in an edgy indie picture she’s set to start shooting in mid-September in New York. Called ‘Descent,’ it’ll have the one-time ‘Josie and the Pussycats’ cutie playing a college girl who appears destined for success. She’s smart, focused, and of course, beautiful. However, tempted into some daring party situations by friends, she discovers she has quite a taste for the taboo.She gets involved with a guy who’s a club DJ and lives in what is described as the surreal world of underground clubs, music, drugs and promiscuity.She also gets involved with a good-looking jock — who proves to have a sadistic side.Sounds like every parent’s nightmare of what could happen when their daughter goes off to school! But, it ought to afford Dawson some great opportunity to show her acting chops — and, uh, more. The film is planned to contain what they’re calling ‘artistic nudity.’ Casting is now underway. “[ SOURCE ]

New Fan material

Donated wallpapers and fan artwork have been added.If you have anything you’d like to send in please contact me and I will gladly add it to the site.

Pre-Order news

You can pre-order copies of the Warner Brother’s release Alexander from their official site. There are two versions available, the Director’s Cut and the Theatrical Release. There have been all sorts of rumors surrounding the versions one being that the Director’s Cut is shorter and removed the storyline of Alexander and Haphaestion being lovers as well as extended the nude scene between Colin Farrell and Rosario. How true that is I don’t know since I haven’t heard any reports from Oliver Stone himself. The official release date for the DVD is August 2, 2005.Also available for Pre-Order from Best Buy is Robert Rodriguez’s & Frank Miller ’s Sin City. Place your order here, I currently do not know the details of what extras will be available on the DVD but during press conferences at the release of the film Robert mentioned it being a multi-disk set in which you can watch the film as a whole or three seperate episodes. You can always count on Robert for adding a great deal of extras so I’m sure it won’t dissapoint. The official release date for the DVD is August 16, 2005.On a related note, more items were added to the merchadise section.Total sidenote, but how do you like the new calendar? Should we keep it? Would you want to see something like a tag-board as well?

Long awaited updates

The media section and the fanlist section are now both fully updated with working links and such. Enjoy!
