Happy 5 Year Anniversary To Us!

Exactly five years ago today, with the guidance of friends, I decided to teach myself how to create a website. Long story short, sometime that evening a very plain version of Rosario Dawson Online was born. Countless re-designs, headaches, and major successes later it’s become something I’m pretty proud of. Thanks to people like Melly, Dai, Yolanda, Susannah and others who’ve answered every annoying technical question I’ve had. Special thanks to Justine and Crys who went the extra mile to sign on to be a part of the team. While Justine has moved on to other projects, her work and efforts are still appreciated.

Thank you to all the fans that have been visiting since the beginning and those who discover it each day. Your support is what has kept it running this whole time. From your fan submitted stories, artwork, photos and those who contribute to the forum, comments in the shoutbox and entries it’s clear this place would not function without you. Trust me, we know a re-design is overdue, and at the end of this message you’ll get a sneak peak on what’s in the works. We really encourage you to comment with features you want to see to make this a place you’ll love visiting.

Most of all thank you to Rosario Dawson, clearly without her this site would not exist. The reason this all began was from loving her movies and how much work she’s done for various communities as an activist. We respect her a great deal and we hope that comes across in what we do. Thank you to her for entrusting us here to represent her on some small level. As a fan it still shocks me to this day that she knew this existed, let alone liked it. We can’t wait to see what else she has in store and as she said two years ago, we hope this relationship continues to bring you more things to come.

So thank you again, and as promised, here is a tiny teaser at what you may see sometime soon. (Don’t judge too harshly yet folks, it’s just a photo)

Clearing up some matters

There have been a few emails sent in to the website asking if Rosario is on Twitter, Myspace, or any other social networking site so we just wanted to clear the air here.

Rosario does not have a personal twitter, myspace, etc. The only social networking spaces that are connected to this website are the forum and the facebook page that is listed on the left. So this person and countless other myspace profiles that claim to be her are not. If you have any more questions regarding the matter feel free to comment below or send us an email.

Also there are a lot of things happening behind the scenes to make the website better, we’ve taken in suggestions you have sent us – including the most popular: new photos – and are incorporating it into the new design. If there is anything you want to see please let us know.

Thank you for your continued support!

Updates and Upcoming Changes

Hey Everyone,

Apologies for the website issues we’ve been having lately, rest assured we’ve been on top of it in order to have the best space for all of you to get the latest news on Rosario Dawson. Just giving you a heads up that within the next coming weeks there will be major changes coming including a new layout and structure to the website. We will of course be updating the gallery with all the recent appearances and events for all of you and possibly have some new sections for you to check out like games and other interactive features.

Thank you so much for being so patient and supportive and keep coming back to the site to keep up with the latest on your favorite actress!

Thanks!

Gallery Update

Just giving you guys a heads up, over this past weekend I updated the gallery for the past year. You can see the new additions starting here on page 51 of the latest additions and working your way back to page 1.

I still have plenty more additions coming in the near future of old events and photoshoots but as for now browse through over 1200 new images. Remember you must be a member of the gallery in order to view the photos. Registration is free and only takes a few seconds to complete.

One last note, I’ve received numerous emails asking this so I figured to clear it up here. Rosario will not be attending Comic Con this year. Be sure to check back here often for any future appearances you can attend.

Thank you for your continued support!

CineVegas Awards and more

If you’d like to attend the awards’ ceremony tonight here is the information: The CineVegas Honorees Reception will be held on Friday, June 20 from 8-11 p.m. at the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino pool. Other award recipients include Anjelica Houston, Don Cheadle, Rosario Dawson, Viggo Mortsensen and Sam Rockwell. Tickets for this event are $25 and can be purchased on the CineVegas Film Festival web site, http://www.cinevegas.com, or by calling 888-8VEGAS8.

This weekend the site will be brought up to date featuring photos from the latest attended events and much more.

A note on the gallery

As some of you may have noticed we have begun to slowly but surely rebuild the gallery. If you did not know we were hacked earlier this year and lost a large portion of images. Since then we have been deleting old files and replacing them with higher quality versions which is why you will notice older pictures in the latest images feed. We thank you for your patience and understanding and again if any of you have images you once downloaded from our site and wish to share so we can add it again, we’d really appreciate it. Special shout out and thanks goes out to Danielle – also known as Dani Mac over at our forums – for sending in a whole CD full of photos in order for us to continue rebuilding. We really appreciate it!

Again the gallery is free to join, anyone can register so definitely go check it out!

While you’re at it, join our forums and talk to fans from all over. It’s had a slow start since being rebuilt but hopefully soon enough it will return to it’s large membership and constant interactions. It’s also free and from time to time we will hold contests for members only so definitely take a moment to join.

By the way, thanks to all your votes, Rosario now has a page on People.com’s celebrity central.

Thank you again for all your support and keep visiting Rosario Online; your official source for all things Rosario Dawson.

Rosario Online is Back!

Welcome back everyone!

After many many glitches we’re back online with a new look, new staff and a fresh start to some old favorites. First off this could have never ever happened without the help of my friend and new co-web Crystal. She is the amazing person who revamped the look and feel of the site and helped out tons with getting things back in the swing of things. Check out her other sites on Anna Paquin and Aaron Stanford, obviously you can see she’s talented.

We do realize there are still some glitches here and there (namely the gallery, but please work with us) but for the most part everything is up and running 100%

Speaking of the gallery, while we will be updating within the next week with dozens of photos since last year, because of some very awful hacker we lost tons of our photos if you couldn’t already tell. So please if you have any that you saved from us before or any that you’re willing to donate, send them on over to rosarioonline[at]gmail.com. We will definitely appreciate it and add you to our list of contributors.

Please re-join the gallery and forums, due to technical issues and trying to fend off potential hackers we had to remove all users as a precaution. So please head on over and re-register. Thank you so much to my girl Shannon for helping out with the forum, check out her site on Casey Affleck to support.

Thank you to everyone for your patience and support, we promise we’ll continue working hard at being your number one source online for all things Rosario Dawson.

Much love!

Joliz, Crystal and Justine.

Happy 3 Year Anniversary To Us!

On October 30th, 2004 this started as an unknown fansite viewed by mainly me and my good friend Crystal. Today we stand as an official site at over 16,000 unique visitors daily. I can’t even begin to explain how much it means to me that all of you have stuck by. I know we have been lacking as of late due to renovations but we promise we will be better than ever as we move into year four. Justine and I appreciate you all for your support, thank you for anyone who’s ever donated anything, emailed us, commented, hell anything really. It truly means the world to me this site has come this far. Here’s to many years to hopefully come! Joliz & Justine

Rosario’s New Boyfriend??

Because I’ve literally had three different people text my phone about this today (I wish I were kidding) I figured I’d at least mention it on the site. I don’t like posting rumors about her personal life because they generally turn out to be false but here goes. It’s been rumored Rosario is dating Hostel director Eli Roth. He (to my knowledge) was the man in the paparazzi video below. I’d like to point out that within the last couple of weeks she’s also been linked to photographer Stephen Shaw, model/actor Andrea Boccaletti, actor Gerard Butler, and sportsman turned actor Rick Fox. Again, remember it’s her personal life, and that this is just a rumor. {nl}{nl}
