We asked Rosario Dawson for her quick takes on a few hot topics: South Beach Diet: "Parasites in Mexico" Gambling: "Poker" Fear Factor: "Eating bugs" How much would they have to pay you to eat a bug? "I remember seeing someone swimming in leeches, and I would never do it." How much would they have to pay you to go on the show? "They wouldn't have to pay me, they'd have to pay for the building I'm trying to build for girls on the Lower East Side (of Manhattan). I'm trying to do a girls club downtown and we need $6 million. I'm from the Lower East Side – they had boys clubs but no girls clubs. It's going to be great for the neighborhood. I wish I had something like that." Summer Olympics in Athens: "Oh my God! Greece, baby. 2012 Olympics in NYC. I hope I'm here for that and don't miss it." Look for Dawson in Alexander, due in the fall.
