Rose Connection

Happy Birthday, Rose!

Dann — Sat, 24 Jul 2010 05:48:16 +0000

Today, July 24th, 2010; our beloved Rose Byrne turns 31! I wish you all the best, Rose! I hoped to mark the occasion with a new look for the site, but things are taking longer than I anticipated. In the mean time, I was able to make some vector art of the birthday girl. (It’s a little rough, but I hope you enjoy it.) You can view it in the gallery.

Please feel free to leave your birthday wishes for Rose in this post’s comment box!

Sharp Woman: Rose Byrne

Dann — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 12:23:19 +0000

Canadian magazine ‘Sharp’ has posted a fun interview with Rose on their site. Here’s a sample:

Did you ever date a next door neighbour?
“Hmm, a cute neighbour…I’m trying to think about it. God, I wish I had more of a technique for that! Um, I’m trying to think if I ever had a hot neighbour. I’m usually shy. Like I’ll go to the other side of the room and not talk to anybody, like an idiot! I’m not sophisticated in that way at all. Yeah, I’m totally pathetic.” (laughs) – Source

‘Damages’ LIVES!!!

Dann — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 05:25:33 +0000

I am absolutely ELATED to fill you in on the great news- ‘Damages’ has been renewed by DirecTV for TWO MORE SEASONS! The show will air again next summer, exclusively on DirecTV. Each season will only be 10 episodes long, but after months of reading speculations about the show’s fate, that’s FAR beyond what I expected!

IGN – Damages is Saved!
Variety – ‘Damages’ finds home on DirecTV
BuddyTV – ‘Damages’ Renewed for 2 More Seasons, But Not on FX
The Hollywood Reporter – DirecTV rescues ‘Damages’

I am so grateful that DirecTV has decided to rescue the show. Stay tuned for more details about this fantastic revelation.

Gallery Update

With special thanks to Cariel, I’ve added some MQ scans from Vogue Australia to the gallery. I’m currently trying to get my hands on the issue, and when I do, I’ll add HQ scans shortly after.

I’ve also added a small image of Rose with Russell Brand from back in early June when they appeared on the Today Show together.

New role for Rose in “Burning Man”

Dann — Sun, 27 Jun 2010 09:40:27 +0000

Hello, everyone! Sorry it’s been so long since the last update. There hasn’t been much to report recently, and I’ve been busy working on the new layouts for the site.

Anyway- I’m not sure if this is true, (though I have no reason to doubt its validity) but according to The Hollywood Reporter Rose is set to star in a new film called “Burning Man”. The site states that the film is already in production, and is currently being filmed in Sydney! Matthew Goode (‘Watchmen’, ‘Match Point’) is also set to star in the film. Details are scarce at the moment, but when more news is available, I’ll be sure to let you know!

London Evening Standard Interview & Shoot

Dann — Sun, 20 Jun 2010 12:29:04 +0000

Lina Das of the London Evening Standard interviewed Rose recently, and got her to talk about a wide variety of topics. Here’s one of my favorite quotes from the interview:

(About the physique of Brad Pitt in Troy)
‘All the boys in the film were ripped,’ says Rose. ‘Brad, Orlando Bloom and Eric Bana. They were all on weird diets and eating chicken at nine in the morning. Their bodies were like pieces of machinery. They belonged in the Louvre.’ -SOURCE

Along with the very insightful artice, the site included five LOVELY images that have been added to the gallery.

‘Get Him To The Greek’ Media

Dann — Thu, 17 Jun 2010 13:09:02 +0000

**EDIT**
(I’ve also added the mp3 of ‘Pound Me In The Buttox’ to the archive!)

I’ve just uploaded the music videos for ‘Supertight’ and ‘Ring Round’ to the Media Archive! Along with the videos, I’ve *finally* uploaded the mp3 of ‘Ring Round’ as well. I’ve also added a short clip of the movie to the archive. I’ll be adding screen captures of the video files very soon.

MILD WARNING: The ‘Supertight’ and ‘Ring Round’ videos contain content that may not be suitable for younger audiences.

(HUGE thanks to Rachel and Cariel for providing the files!!!)

New layouts coming soon!

Dann — Wed, 16 Jun 2010 11:50:55 +0000

I’ve been busy getting some new themes ready for the main page, media archive, and photo gallery. I will have them up before Rose’s birthday on July 24th. I don’t have a color scheme for the main site yet, and I’m open for suggestions. If you’d like to suggest anything, please feel free to comment this entry!
