Rosario Dawson Shows Off Her New Planking Hobby on Jimmy Kimmel's Desk (VIDEO)

by Jason Hughes, posted Jun 24th 2011 6:32AM

Rosario Dawson, 'Jimmy Kimmel Live'After most people spend a lot of time completely putting together an entertainment system that includes game systems, they usually sit down and play some games. Well, Rosario Dawson used the girl power of a bunch of her friends to do that, but as she told Jimmy Kimmel on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' (Weeknights, 12AM ET on ABC), they celebrated finishing by planking.

Then, while Kimmel was trying to explain what planking was, Dawson quietly mounted his desk and simply showed everybody. "I guess the idea is you behave like a plank of wood, right?" he asked.


A picture showed Dawson planking across the gap between two handrails, impressively straight as a board. With such strength and straightness, she must have been started this hobby a long time ago, right?

No, when asked when she started, Dawson's reply was, "About a week ago." Now, the real question is how many people after seeing this are going to go out and try planking for themselves.

Many years ago I went to a comedy club where they had hypnotist entertaining. He hypnotised my then girlfriend and planked her between 2 chais, supported only by her ankles and neck, face up. And as if that wasn't astonishing enough, he then stood on her stomach! It was absolutely amazing and I'd have bet impossible. She had never worked out a day in her life. How could she have had the strength to do that? i still have no idea, but she did it.. And what's more, she wasn't even sore the next day. He told her she wouldn't be! ha ha.

I don't find Kimmel funny or entertaining. Too bad he gets a lot of free PR time on AOL (probably he pays for it, or somebody does)
