Emmy Rossum checked in with fans on her blog at MySpace on Sunday (September 21). The singer/actress told readers:

Here’s one more pic of summer!

This was a pretty cool experience. If you’ve all been checking out my youtube videos at my youtube channel at youtube.com/emmyrossumchannel you might have heard me answer “dolphin” to the question “if you could be any animal other than a human what would you choose?” Well, this is about as close as I’ll get! The dolphin’s skin is so smooth and soft, they are are the sweetest, most intelligent creatures. It was an awesome, albeit a little man-made, experience. Very memorable. Check out my dolphin smooch! Hope you are enjoying what’s left of the summer.

Emmy Rossum blogged about her scary run-in with pigeons while walking home earlier today in New York City. The actress/singer writes:

Strolling home from the gym, an iced Starbucks drink in my hand, minding my own business and enjoying the sun on my face, I was attacked by two pigeons! They must have thought I will a very large walking bread crumb or something, because they flew directly at my face and tried to land on my shoulders. What am I, Mary Poppins? If I wasn’t so freaked out and flailing around hysterically on the corner of 65th street, I might have broken into song “Feed the birds, toppence a bag!”

Passers by on the street stared at me with a mixture of relief (that it wasn’t them being attacked by the birds) and a little bit of horrification. ANYWAY, the two pigeons quickly realized that I was NOT in fact a large walking bread crumb or whatever lunchable they thought I was, and lost interest, flying away. Of course, the rest of the walk home I assumed I had contracted legionairre’s disease or psittacosis and went home to scrub and shower and take 10 vitamin Cs. ps: I’m not usually such a hypochondriac! but I’m sneezing as I write this! haha!

Emmy Rossum checked in with fans on her blog at MySpace on Wednesday (August 13), discussing progress on her second album. The 21-year-old writes:

Hey guys!

I’m starting to work on the new album… still trying to find the perfect “sound.” Someone really smart told me that you have to make records in order to find out what kinds of records you should be making. I think that they put it pretty well. It’s a discovery process, kind of like an archaeological dig… The perfect sound is there somewhere and just has to be uncovered. I’ve been writing and recording with artists and producers in London, Copenhagen and Los Angeles in the past few weeks. I’m pretty psyched that I’m getting to write and collaborate with some of my favorite artists. So you can “see” what I’ve been doing, I’m posting 2 new pics of me in the studio. One is of me, goofing around, wearing sparkly antenae at Matt Hales’ studio in London. He’s a great guy and we have a lot of fun in the studio. I love Aqualung – if you haven’t heard “Strange and Beautiful”, iTunes it immediately, it will make your day that much better. The black and white photo was taken here in LA in the studio last week.

I have also been working with Susan G Komen for the Cure and will have some exciting news about my specific involvement with them pretty soon. I’ll also be able to play you a song I wrote for them, called “Why Oh Why”.
