This report from Star Magazine would be a little bit more interesting if Rosario Dawson could actually manage to get a smaller, supporting part in a big-budget action film remake. Unfortunately, it came down to Rosario and Jessica Biel for Total Recall (the remake starring Colin Farrell), and somehow Biel was deemed more relevant. Shocking. Literally. Rosario and Jessica are equally irrelevant in my opinion, but Rosario is a better actress and way sexier than Biel. Anyway, Star Magazine had a story about how Rosario wanted the Total Recall part because she wants to finally, at long last, bone Colin Farrell:

Newly single Rosario Dawson is on the prowl! She already has her eye on Colin Farrell, Star has learned – although she just pulled the plug on her lengthy romance with French DJ Mathieu Schreyer.

“She’s already had real chemistry with Colin,” reveals a source close to the curvy brunette, who is up for a role in the new Total Recall remake. “Rosario has had a crush on him for years.”

Although sparks flew when Rosario and Colin shot the 2004 epic Alexander, the source adds, they have never been single at the same time since. But now the door seems open for the big-screen hotties to finally hook up.

“They would be spending lots of time together making Total Recall,” says the source. “Rosario intends to take full advantage of the situation.”

So now Rosario will just have to find another way to bone Colin. But something tells me that Jessica Biel might try to get in there first? Why oh why is Biel always put with the compulsive womanizers? Her first post-breakup costar was Gerard Butler, and now she’s going to work with Colin? Let’s see her try to push stories about how Colin is hard up for her and how they go on cupcake-buying trips. Ten bucks says that Colin hits it and quits it in a day, right?

By the way, you’ve seen Colin in the trailer for the Fright Night remake, right? Um… is it okay if I say that Colin as a vampire is really, really HOT? Every time he bites someone, my biscuits squeal.

Will Smith thrilled fans at the Berlin premiere of Seven Pounds on Tuesday night by shaking hands and signing autographs in the freezing cold. Smith has received a lot of praise for his friendliness and patience with fans and last night was no exception. Our neighbors’ sons went to the premiere and said that Smith took the time to shake everyone’s hand and sign a book for them. They were thrilled to meet the star and had a lot of fun. It was just 9° F last night in Berlin last night. Good for Smith for braving the cold to greet fans!

Smith, Rosario Dawson and Gabriel Muccini also posed by a snowy Brandenburg gate earlier in the day. Presidential elect Barack Obama spoke to a crowd of over 200,000 just down the street from that location in July. We may see see Smith play Obama on film at some point in the near future. Obama himself joked to Entertainment Tonight that he’d spoken to Smith about it, saying “Will and I have talked about this because he has the ears!” Smith is an Obama supporter and told Oprah after the election that he was hugging his family and crying when Obama won. Given Obama’s historic victory and popularity, we may see a dramatized account of his life sooner rather than later.

Seven Pounds has not received the best reviews and is generally considered a real downer of a film with a complicated plot. It’s about a man who is suicidal and decides to change the lives of seven strangers to amend for his role in a tragedy. The film was released on December 19 in the US and has grossed $62 million worldwide. It’s done passably at the box office and is not likely to diminish from Smith’s massive draw.

Smith was just named 2008′s top grossing movie star and from the way he works the crowd with a smile you can’t help but think he’s earned it.

I have to admit, I really love election season. Not just for the politics – in fact I’d be making myself sound much deeper than I really am if I said that was a big part of it. I like that it adds a new layer to celebrity news. Instead of hearing about Paris Hilton’s shoe collection, we can write about Paris’ political leanings. Alright that particular example doesn’t work, as Paris only recently learned that we’ve been in a war for the past couple years.

But some celebs use their fame to promote good causes. And that’s something I’m a big fan of. Actress Rosario Dawson is taking a season off from working in order to get voters to the polling booths. Rosario is currently working on two films but will be wrapped by the fall, and has passed on all other projects until after the election.

“I decided I’m not going to be working at all through the fall,” the actress – who’ll be seen in Eagle Eye with Shia LaBoeuf and Seven Pounds with Will Smith – told PEOPLE. Instead, she plans to work at voter drives across the country sponsored by her non-profit Voto Latino.

“We’re targeting the Latin youth vote,” said Dawson, 28. “There’s 18 million [people who] are eligible. But we are not showing that up in votes. So our numbers aren’t counting. When you actually … work with local organizations – that makes the biggest impact, and that’s what I want to be a part of.”

Dawson (who admits she didn’t vote for president until 2004, the same year she started Voto Latino) will be at both Democratic and Republican conventions as part of her efforts to reach young Latinos.

“The reason why I co-founded Voto Latino is because of my mom,” she told the crowd in D.C. “It’s because of my grandmother. It’s because I was raised to do it yourself. You want that to be better? You do it yourself.”

My first reaction to the part about Rosario not voting the same year she started Voto Latino was that it wasn’t all that smart to admit to it. But I think it actually makes her more accessible to the people she’s trying to target. She’s aiming for those that haven’t been voting, and it lets her honestly say “Look, I know where you’re coming from, I didn’t think one vote mattered either.” Presumably she’ll be setting a great example by voting in a few months. Good for her for really getting out there, seeing a problem, and actively doing something to combat it.

Here’s Rosario introducing Voto Latino’s ‘Crash the Parties ’08′ campaign in Washington DC on Tuesday. Images thanks to WENN.

Rosario Dawson’s mini bangs must have been fugly enough to scare away “Sex and the City” hottie Jason Lewis, who has been her boyfriend for over two years. The two seemed inseparable and weren’t shy about the PDA while making appearances at events together. Now rumor has it that this sweeter than Skittles couple has broken up. This somehow depresses me more than Reese and Ryan, because I was really looking forward to their pretty kids:

One of Hollywood’s most beautiful couples, Rosario Dawson and Jason Lewis, have reportedly split. The actress was overheard telling a friend about the break-up in a New York restaurant over the weekend, explaining she was having to fly to Los Angeles to clear her belongings from the Hollywood home she shares with the actor.

Dawson and Lewis started dating in 2004 and moved in together exactly a year ago. The actress has often cooed about her man, a former model, in interviews. In one recent article, she gushed, “He’s just a wonderful human being. He’s generous and loving and intelligent and warm and funny.”

A publicist who represents both Lewis and Dawson had not responded to calls.

Please let them get back together – or let Lewis hook up on the rebound with the newly slender Britney. I would like to cover that story.

Remember when Lindsay Lohan text messaged with that guy named Jason Lewis who convinced her he was the actor? Those were good times. She’d surely take up with him, but I have a feeling that is even less likely than the Britney scenario.

Rosario Dawson, who is featured in Alexander, Rent, and Sin City, goes out with uber-hottie Jason Lewis, who played Samantha’s boyfriend on Sex and the City. In the last two events she was photographed at, The Costume Institute Gala on 5/1, and The Roberto Cavalli Vodka Release Party yesterday, she wore a loose gown and looked like she was sporting a little baby bump. There’s even a picture of her at the Costume Institute Gala putting her hand over her stomach.

Dawson, 27, and Lewis, 34, were first linked together in the summer of 2004. She dated Colin Farrell earlier that year, and J.Lo’s ex, dancer Chris Judd, in 2002.

Dawson will appear in Clerks II, and will reprise her role in Sin City 2 opposite Angelina Jolie.

If our overactive imagination is correct – congratulations to Dawson and Lewis. Their child is going to be gorgeous.

Here’s our flimsy evidence:

The Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art held a ball last night to celebrate the opening of an exhibit on British design. Sienna Miller, wearing an awful gold sequined minidress and black tights, served as co-chair for the event.

The guy dressed like a cabaret pirate posing with Charlize Theron is Dior designer John Galiano. He’s responsible for her monstrosity of an Oscar gown with the giant shoulder bow. Sienna Miller is shown with Christopher Bailey, Burberry’s creative director.
