Hi! You’ve reached my (beloved) former blog. Come find me & my current work at JessieRosen.com
A very disturbing thing occurred to me around hour 2.33 of the 84th Annual Academy Awards. It started as a sort of dull head ache. It wasn’t a sinus head ache (back of the eyes) or a hunger headache (for me, somewhere between the temples and the back of the neck). It was more like a woozy head ache, kind of like the way your …
Now that I live in Hollywood I’m more qualified than ever to comment on the pending Academy Awards. My house is 1.5 miles from the theater formerly known as the Kodak theater! My friend Ben works on the team that produces the awards! I got my own copy of the Hollywood Reporter Oscar Issue at work! Guys, I am the Oscars. Before you read on, …
This will be brief because the situation is just that simple. A few weeks ago I witnessed a very uncool thing happen at an otherwise cool event. (All the details are not important, but it is worth noting that the bar was hidden behind a restaurant Hollywood, and I drank delicious, free punch out of a super chic, vintage punch bowl.) Over the course of …
–> Decoding the details behind the common girl claim: “nerdy guys make the best boyfriends!” He has passions beyond sports, video games, and boobs. Being a “nerd” in the “girls love nerds” sense isn’t about understanding all of The Big Bang Theory, it’s about having interests beyond those of the typical brute boy set. Sports, videos games, boobs and the like are perfectly fine, but …
I followed the very public response to the Chris Brown/Rihanna situation from the moment TMZ first published the disturbing, post-abuse images of the beaten pop star. I’m sorry. It’s not “the Chris Brown/Rihanna” situation. Abuse is not a “situation,” it’s a crime. I’ve also been closely following the very public response to Chris Brown’s recent Grammy performance. The questions of, “did he deserve to perform?” …
If you know me, then you know that I love high heels. When I was five years old my Uncle Erik, a photographer, brought my sisters and me a giant bag of out-of-this-world power lady pumps left over from a photo shoot. Since it was the ’80s, they were all jewel tone satin with rhinestone details around the toe or heel – a little girl/drag …
I’ve finally figured out why I A. often struggled to get guys to approach me in bars and B. hate both Mary Louise Park and Scarlett Johansson. The answer, in a picture, is this: See what they’re doing there? Smiling but by no means really smiling? Saying, “oh, hello there…” without actually suggesting that they want anything to do with whomever they’re looking at? It’s …
A good friend of mine recently went through what can only be described as a very mature break up. Both parties were polite. Both parties were honest. Both parties felt respected in the process. That does not mean there wasn’t heart ache and disappointment, it just means no one was in blatant violation of my previously outlined rules of breaking up. All seemed discussed and …
It’s rare that I use the words “genius” and “online dating” in the same sentence, let alone blog headline. But in the case of these two game-changers, the hyperbole applies. Meet EATER DATING and HITCH.ME (aka LINKED IN DATING).
