| "Rosa Blasi Fans II" Board rosarosablasi on Thursday, November 4, 2004 (#1482) Update!!! Hello! So much is going on I just knew I had to fill you in. I have just a few days left of filming this season, and we are working on a spin-off of Strong Medicine. It is being filmed as a pilot (meaning Lifetime is going to decide to turn this episode into a separate show based on the "pilot" episode). It is a G-R-E-A-T script, based around two lead characters Nichole Hiltz and Lauren Velez, and one of the hottest guys walking Michael Trucco. You can always go to www.imdb.com to see where you may recognize these actors from. But I know you are going to love and embrace them. Fans of Strong Medicine are going to LOVE Strong Medicine:First Response (the tentative spin-off title) It is exciting to think of the potential of this ya know? What else? I am extremely proud that the Grudge has been the number one movie in the US for the past two weeks! It cost like $6 million to make, and has made $75 million in ticket sales. I will be even more excited to see the DVD when it comes out for two words..."deleted scenes" THAT is where I will really be able to see my performance..ha ha ha! On a completely different note, I am devastated about the results of the Presidential election. I feel alot of people voted irresponsibly, without KNOWING and RESEARCHING the issues each candidate represents. I need to just take some deep breaths about that situation...inhale...exhale...repeat! OY! I felt like some of you may have gotten insight as to our world here on the set , through the eyes of Charlie visiting. That was neat. Very cool. It was a wonderful reminder of the support this show has. Like she was a Lifetimetv.com ambassador or something! Just briefly, I want you to know I read every piece of mail myself, and respond, myself. No one else does this for me. Hell, I even planned my own wedding! I am pretty hands on. But, that is also the reason sometimes the response time is very long. The last batch of mail I answered, I was embarrassed by some of the post mark dates. Sorry! Well, until I have some more news to report, or another project on my hiatus coming up, I will "see" you in April when I start shooting season SIX! Ahhhhhhhh! For now I have to go live with my husband :) Have a safe and happy holiday season, and thanks for being so great. Really. Love, Rosa rosarosablasi on Tuesday, February 8, 2005 (#3476) THANK YOU FOR THE BIRTHDAY BOOK! As some of you may know, I do receive, and personally read, all my mail...but, I get it sporratically. Having been living on the East coast from Nov-Jan and just getting settled back on the West coast, I finally received a bunch of mail. In that, was the Birthday Book, and I was completely blown away! I appreciate the time and effort that went into coordinating that, and I have to say I was impressed at how proffesional and creative it was done! Thank you so much. I mean it. I hope you all enjoyed the cliff-hanger season finale! It was so hard to film that last scene with Pat because we all are going to miss her so much. It wasn't "acting", it was so much more, and we all felt it that day. Okay, Wow... I just read what I wrote and it reads very cheesy, but the meaning is there nonetheless :) We go back to work on the sixth season in April, with who replacing Pat? I haven't a clue. Not even one! Take care, and again thanks so much, Love, Rosa PS...I found the "Rosa has the right to show cleavage debate" awesomely amusing! We must remember as strong women, to support other strong women. Unfortunately, women are usually the first, to tear down other women. You are not always going to agree with everything people do, say, believe in, or feel. But I urge you to look at the big picture. In everyone. And on another ironic note, as long as I am on the soap box...why is it the hypo-Christians seem to be the most judgemental? I am pretty sure religion, whatever you believe, is based on love. rosarosablasi on Monday, May 16, 2005 (#5022) Hello from Rosa! So if we can't gossip about other members.... can we gossip about Paris Hilton??? Just curious. Just kidding. Kinda. Hello! How are you all? I can't believe we have been a month of shooting the 6th season already! We are on episode 4, and Rick Schroder is seriously one of the nicest guys I have ever met. Painfully, painfully, kind. Everybody on set loves him (and he has four GORGEOUS kids, not to mention an even sweeter beautiful wife by the way) So it's been good so far. I embarrassingly confessed to Rick I used to be enamored with him when I was 10, and I watched every episode of Silver Spoons. In case you thought I might be cool at all, I am about to erase that image... My sister Tasha and I used to actually KISS THE TV when he came on the opening credits! Yes, lips on glass, trying not to get electrocuted in the process. Please again, remember I was TEN, people! The highlight of shooting this season so far, has been lying on the ground of the rat infested alley to shoot the "getting shot" scene. Oh yeah, the intoxicating urine smell floated around us all, and a GINOURMOUS RAT ran across our feet where we were all sitting! My makeup artist Bridgette screamed bloody murder, and dropped her big box of makeup (that she carries around to make me look "natural"... ha!!!) and it was quite a night. I got home when the sun rose. I highly recommend the experience. Again, kidding. What else? To answer the abundance of questions and rumors about "is this the last year???" The answer is "I don't know." All I know, is MY contract is finished in November. I am not psychic, I have no idea if this is the last year of the show, and if it is not, I can't say if I will, ot will not be there next year. We all just have to wait and see :) I hope you enjoy the premiere episode on the 12th of June! and I think you will really enjoy the new dynamic of what Rick adds to the show. As well as some twists,turns, and Nestor Carbonell...also painfully SWEET! Hope you all have a safe Memorial Day! Much love and appreciation, Rosa rosarosablasi on Tuesday, August 9, 2005 (#7417) Hello from ROSA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so excited for the "wedding episode" to air (Aug. 21st)! It is my favorite one in a long time! My all time favorite remains episode #19, second season, "Rape Kit". There are plenty of unexpected surprises coming this year. Very exciting I promise! I can't believe how fast this year has been flying by! Only 9 more episodes before we are done filming. No word yet on what is going to happen next year. The good news is, the ratings are up as high as 25% in some demographic categories! That is pretty incredible for a show in it's 6th season. But as far as next year? Your guess is as good as mine! I am open to whatever is meant to be! I have been doing stand-up lately for the first time ever... and I am definitely missing doing some comedy. I did a short film called "Bake Off" that was all improvised. Very similar to "Best in Show" or "Waiting for Guffman" about a Pillsbury Bake-off. It was alot of fun and very cool. Because of the short film that was made, it received funding to be made into a full length independent feature! I look forward to shooting that. I can't believe you all recognized my voice from the Dove Chocolate commercials! You guys are impressive!!!(insert applause) It is now that time of the year, where things get crazy for me, as far as traveling from the West coast to the East coast on the weekends (all while filming of course!)because of football season. Go Giants! Hope you all are safe, healthy, and well! I look forward to reading your posts as the season is unveiled. Take care, Rosa rosarosablasi on Tuesday, October 11, 2005 (#9596) MESSAGE FROM ROSA Hello all! I promise to post again soon, before we wrap for the season (we finish filming Nov. 10th). No one still has any clue if there is going to be a next year or not, by the way. This business is just kind of like that. I once heard on an interview, that Christina Applegate found out "Married With Children" was cancelled via the radio! And that was after 9 years!!! The reason I am writing is because it has come to my attention, disturbingly, that someone has created a BOGUS Rosa Blasi fan site at myspace.com PRETENDING TO BE ME! I do not endorse, nor know who is responsible for this site. But it certainly has nothing to do with me. Those aren't my quotes, opinions, or even my favorite books (I have never even heard of them!) It is all bogus. Just wanted you to know. I am flattered that anyone would start a fan site, but I am offended when they try and fool the public into saying they are me. So ridiculous. Also, as long as I am posting, I should clear up something else... I am about as pregnant as Rick Schroder. I look forward to being pregnant, my life would feel incomplete without children, but right now it is just a rather uncomfortable "pregnancy pad". When it gets hot, we put an ice pack inside it :) Love you guys, and we will "talk" soon! Rosa |
