I spent all of today working on this thing so you shoudl all give me a cookie or something. Actually don’t, I don’t need it. Anyway! Updates right? Right.First off the gallery is almost fully updated. I say almost because I still have some photoshoots and appearances from past years I haven’t loaded but until that happens you have all the September and October candids fully updated, scans from Dance Spirit Magazine, Elle, Show People, US Weekly, plus this month’s issues of V-Life and Latina magazine. Can’t say I never do anything now can ya? Along with those there is also a scan of the ad Rosario and her Uncle Frank did for PFLAG’s Stay Close campaign. Lastly I added the teaser photo for Clerks 2. I added the appearance Rosario and the Cast of RENT made on Regis and Kelly in the media section. They were there to promote the release of the Rent Original Motion Picture Soundtrack which I suggest you all go out and buy. If you’re hesistant on spending your $20+ check out the previews available on the official Rent site. If you are unfamiliar with the play and only interested in hearing Rosario sing, just click on any song that features Mimi. I finally added a with the fans section. Read about fans (including myself) just like you and their experiences with Rosario. Feel free to send in your photos and stories and you’ll be added to the page. I do realize not everyone is fortunate enough to have met her so feel free to even send in how you became a fan of Rosario’s. Remember, that page is all about us, the fans.Lastly watch out for Rosario on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno airing on October 31st, as well as an appearance on Late Night with Conan O’Brien on November 16th.

That’s about it so hope you all had a great weekend and lastly please send out good thoughts to everyone in the path of Wilma. Peace

Putnam’s Sons, $29.95), a gorgeous picture book that embraces and celebrates the allure of women of African, Latin and Asian heritages….While The Beauty of Color is filled with Hollywood glamor girls and A-listers like Tyra Banks, Rosario Dawson, and Venus and Serena Williams, its makeup lessons include real women from literally all over the world. “We treated them like the celebrities,” says Iman, “so they look really beautiful and glamorous. Very dark beauties from Africa to blue-eyed girls from Brazil and everything in between.”"[ SOURCE ]

Rent Soundtrack Review

There are tons of reviews of the CD out there but I figured to post this one since it’s particularly favorable.”There are probably some people who are waiting for the upcoming big-screen version of “Rent” to fail, or think it will be a piece of bombastic fluff like “The Phantom of the Opera.” And there’s one person who will keep all that from happening: Rosario Dawson.Director Chris Columbus rounded up most of the original cast of the late Jonathan Larson’s musical update of Puccini’s “La Boheme” (which debuted on Broadway in 1996), yet went Hollywood to find his Mimi. And while Dawson’s mainstream musical offerings have veered toward the forgettable (see: “Josie and the Pussycats”) her mom was a professional singer and she more than holds her own opposite pros.All the famous showtunes from the Broadway production are on the two-disc soundtrack – “One Song Glory,” “La Vie Boheme,” “Seasons of Love” (which seems to have become the film’s main theme) – in addition to the unreleased Larson cut “Love Heals.” The CD gets a boost with superb production values compared to previous “Rent” cast albums – the revved-up backing band adds complementary spirit to Larson’s story of 20-somethings dealing with the AIDS epidemic and other issues in New York’s East Village.TV stars Taye Diggs and Jesse L. Martin return to the show with their vocal chords none the worse for wear, and Adam Pascal, who’s released albums as a solo rocker, is great again as Roger, the AIDS-afflicted musician seeking to write the perfect song after the death of his girlfriend. He, of course, finds love in the form of Mimi, a drug-addicted stripper who also has AIDS, and the duet “Light My Candle” between Pascal and Dawson is just the brightest of several showtune gems.Her high-energy rendition of “Out Tonight” will make one forget fellow thespian Gerard Butler ever threw on the Phantom’s cape.”[ SOURCE ]
