Check out a behind the scenes video of Rosario Dawson during her Shape magazine cover shoot!

Rosario Dawson is featured on the cover and inside the August 2011 issue of “Shape” magazine!

Earlier today, Rosario Dawson was a guest at The Foundation Polo Challenge in Carpinteria, California. I have just added 37 HQ and MQ photos of Rosario at the event into our photo gallery!

Last night, Rosario Dawson was at the premiere for her new film “Zookeeper”. I have just added 360 HQ and MQ photos from the event into our photo gallery!

Rosario Dawson is living a dream with her starring role in Zookeeper. Dawson always wanted to be a veterinarian, but unfortunately she’s allergic to almost every animal out there. As she says, that is just one of the benefits of the career choice she made as she can pretend to be what she always wanted to be, but for whatever reason, could not.

Zookeeper also marks one of the few times Rosario Dawson has appeared in a comedy. The star of such hits as Unstoppable, Seven Pounds, Grindhouse and Sin City welcomed the opportunity to show her funny side opposite Kevin James. She never hesitated in going for the joking jugular opposite one of entertainment’s most popular funnymen.

Dawson has come a long way since she was discovered at 15 sitting on her New York City stoop. Dawson told us in November about her dream to be an actress and the words almost prove prophetic considering her role in Zookeeper is congruent with her efforts to grow professionally.

“I was really insecure about [being an actress] for so many years. I couldn’t call myself an actor for a long time. I just thought I was lucky,” Dawson said. “I kept constantly waiting to have to get a real job [laughs]. It never did [happen], and that is really amazing.”

Well, consider Dawson fortunate to add another experience to her long and building resume, that of comic actress.

In Zookeeper, Dawson portrays the zoo veterinarian who is close friends with James’ title character. In his effort to woo back his love (Leslie Bibb) who broke his heart, Dawson agrees to appear to be his girlfriend to make her jealous. Does it work? And perhaps, does Dawson’s vet have feelings for the zookeeper herself? You’ll find out when Zookeeper arrives in theaters July 8.

This weekend, Rosario Dawson was spotted at the AXE Lounge celebrating the 4th of July. I have just added 5 HQ photos into our photo gallery!

We hear that being an actress isn’t the easiest career.

So, what do you call someone who can play an HIV-infected stripper and a bubbly zoo employee flawlessly?

Rosario Dawson.

If you’re a dude, you might know her from Sin City, if you’re a lady, maybe Rent or Seven Pounds, and if you have smoked a little marijuana in your day, perhaps Clerks II.

And now she is starring in the sure-to-be Blockbuster hit, Zookeeper, along with the likes of Kevin James, Leslie Bibb and The Hangover’s Ken Jeong.

When we sat down with her recently one-on-one in Miami, we had to know, for a girl who had been in New York City just a few hours before, what are five things she just cant live without?

Ear Plugs: They are a key element on a plane. It just takes the noise down, especially when you’re trying to rest. Even when I’m not sleeping, I can just read and just avoid the announcements and everything. I just love them.

Evian Mist: Spray of some kind just to moisturize. Evian, or Jurlique makes one with rose water, which is really nice. Serums are really good for the plane too. When you’re always in a plane, you have to moisturize a lot more.

Coffee: I have started drinking coffee more, which I usually don’t. It’s really calming to me. If my stomach is bothering me, it’s great. It really doesn’t make me jittery. Sometimes I drink it before I got to bed, actually. There’s something about it that just makes me feel good.

iPad: I’m just obsessed.

iCade: It’s a little machine that looks like an arcade game. It’s miniature; you put your iPad in it and then you can work the joy stick. It’s amazing. Thank God it’s portable.
