Hello and welcome to my corner of the internet. Do you smell that? It’s fresh baked awesomeness. Come in, take a look around, kick your shoes off… DON’T TOUCH THAT! Okay, you know what? I can already tell this isn’t going to work out.

Some useful links? I think that would be good.

Perhaps you’re wanting to know a bit more about me? Of course you are. Allow me to regale you.

I am a writer and TV personality though I’m not entirely comfortable with the term TV personality. Last year I performed stand up and won the title of New York’s Funniest Reporter.

I’ve been a professional journalist since the tender age of 18 when I wrote for the Los Angeles Times. I went on to write for People, Rolling Stone, Spin, Vibe, Seattle Weekly, Minneapolis City Pages, Village Voice, New York Press, Maxim, Stuff, Men’s Health, Hallmark, McSweeney’s and more and I’ve worked on staff as a writer and editor at the OC Weekly, Time Out New York and Page Six Magazine. I’ve written about pop culture, high culture, crime, music, movies, fashion and more. This is probably my best known article. I particularly enjoy writing profiles and Q&As but I write all sorts of stories. I currently write a humorous financial advice column on McSweeney’s.

Also, I go on TV and talk about all manner of stuff.

Here is my reel. Prepare to be dazzled!

And I host a popular weekly interactive Ustream show called Alison Rosen Is Your New Best Friend.  I also host a web show called The Daily Alison and post videos regularly on my YouTube page.

I update my blog every day so please poke around and fall in love with me.

Remember you can always get to all the pages under the PAGES tab on the right side of my site.

    Hey, check out www.nyfunniestreporter.com where Ali-Ro's photo is featured on the homepage. There's a nice bio under 2008 reporters too.
  • Cool content!!!! I used to live in CDM too ....
  • Question for the vlog.
    I was wondering if i could start a urban myth about you.

    Its said that if Alison Rosen brush's her hair back while smile'n at you while coldplay's viva la vida is playing,you would die of overwhelming happiness!

    Alison is there any way to get back to the old blog? Like the one I first started posting on? Was it blogspot?
  • alisonrosen
    It was! The whole old blog is still here though, just wearing different clothes. But all the old stuff is in the archives.
  • Ted_Goodlove

    Just saw Alison on Fox's "Red Eye" Jan 6. I was immediately transfixed by her beauty and wit... As a center/right Republicrat who is obliged to siphon in political commentary from the entire spectrum in order to remain fair and balanced I would love to add Alison as a facebook page link (she will make a fantastic replacement to that Racheal Meadows) but how can I do this without giving her site permission to plaster my wall excessively with a lot of Obama zombie kool aid laced psycho babble content which I fear might follow? The link to facebook here appears to grant Alison's site this carte blanche privilege. Can anyone please advise. Many thanks.
  • alisonrosen
    I don't think my site will plaster anything with anything!
  • lesallison
    I apologize for any offense which may have been perceived, because none whatsoever was intended. I have the utmost respect for her commentary even though I may not agree with it.... It's just that once when I "friended" a favorite restaurant of mine they proceeded to pimp out my facebook page by constantly posting their ads and promotion of their daily specials. If there is assurance that this will not be the case I'm happy to accept her word on it because aside from her beauty Alison also projects a vibe of integrity. I'll accept
  • alisonrosen
    I'm confused. Are you asking what will happen if you fan me on Facebook? Actually if you do I think all my updates will appear on your page but they aren't political in nature. They're similar to my twitter feed which is mostly comedy. I think there's a way to turn off the updates on your wall, btw, but I don't know what it is. But in sum, no political spamming from me. I'm mostly all about ducklings.
  • Margy
    I agree!!

    There once was this gal, Alison Rosen,
    When I saw her on Red Eye I was frozen!
    With the wit in her brain,
    She well above the mundane,
    At 3 a m, she keeps me from dozin'!
