| Broadway Bound Beauty
Reby Jacob
Home: Rego Park Age: 18 Ht: 5’6" Wt: 104 Stats: 34-24-36 Having dreams of performing on Broadway, Reby began modeling two years ago – around the same time she got married – and enrolled in John Casablanca’s modeling school in New Jersey. Reby has been a featured model in “944 magazine,” and won Miss Dance USA in 2000 – at the age of 14. Now, a few years older and with a busy schedule, which includes rehearsals for an off-Broadway show where she has a role as a dancer, this dazzling beauty is about to pursue her education, at LaGuardia Community College, majoring in business. Reby is looking forward to the hip-hop model competition. If she wins, she will be featured in a shoot for King magazine, have agent representation for a year, a new portfolio and receive every girl’s favorite gifts – clothes. “You have to have more expression,” Reby said of being in front of the camera as opposed to dancing. She added that the hardest part about being the focus of the lens is constantly having to change personalities which differs from dancing where one might flow naturally through a series of emotions in time with music and movement. “Feeling on command,” she explained. Reby said she enjoys exercising and relaxing at Flushing Meadows Corona Park, but there’s no need for weights – Reby rehearses four times a week for her second stint off-Broadway. Other than hanging with her hubby, Reby said, “I have a sad social life,” and added that she only goes to clubs and parties when she is invited to perform. She manages, however, to find a way to enjoy one of her greatest passions – the theater. As an avid Broadway fan, Reby said she has seen probably every show on the Great White Way, but her favorite “by far” is “The Phantom of the Opera.” And so we wait while this young model and dancer flies high to a bright future on Broadway’s stages. |

| QC Prof Boycotts Bush
It just so happens that some of the faculty members over at Queens College aren’t avid fans of our nation’s president.
Samuel Heilman, a professor of sociology at the college, and historian Leo Hershkowitz decided to boycott George W. Bush in a way they felt was most appropriate for them. The two men, who are members of Celebrate 350’s academic advisory council – an organization that celebrates the role of Jewish people in America’s history – refused to attend a gala dinner Wednesday night in Washington, because of the enlightened leader’s presence. They said they believed honoring Bush, the keynote speaker, would “politicize” the occasion. The president was scheduled to receive Celebrate 350’s Commemorative Gold Medal in recognition of the role that America has played in the history of the Jewish people and the role that Jews have played in American history. Hershkowitz, with another historian, had begun a petition against the President’s involvement with the event. |

| From Palau To The Caribbean
Palau Survivor Tom Westman, 41, is onto his next venture. This time, though, the Queens born CBS Survivor star won’t have to worry about tackling the hardships of nature. The only concerns he will have are whether or not the creases in his pants are crisp enough, or if the color of his shirt complements his eyes.
The retired NYC Firefighter entered an agreement with AHG Licensing, Inc., the licensing unit of Apparel Holdings Group, making him the spokesman for their Caribbean Joe label. If you want to get a good look at Weston, or the clothes for that matter, just stop by any department store carrying the Caribbean Joe label – he’ll be making promotional appearances on this deal. You could also get a look at the heartthrob within the glossy pages of dozens of magazines after the New Year. |

| Screw Intellect, Sex Sells!
Famed model Elle MacPherson, known around the world as “the body,” may be trying to change her nickname to “the professor.”
Just listen to the curvy entrepreneur on the new ad campaign for her Intimates lingerie line: "I didn’t really want to just put tits and arse on a billboard,” MacPherson, speaking from the Bahamas, told the British newspaper, The Guardian. “I’ve always wanted to come from a more – I don’t want to say intellectual – but a more involved point of view where we’re required to think or to imagine a little bit.” This highbrow rambling might be easier to believe if two billboards for her product didn’t currently hang over the LIE featuring two skimpy models baring a little more than their innermost views on collective bargaining or Kafka. In fact, the photos don’t even show the women’s heads at all! Nice try Elle, but when it comes to lingerie, “t&a” is the thing that stops traffic. |

| Curtains For Curtin
A Queens man falsely accused police of assaulting him but got a rude awakening when cops videotaped him hurting himself.
“I want to knock myself out and blame it on you guys,” Daniel Curtin said not knowing he was being taped. Curtin was seen on video banging his head against a holding cell door inside the 100th Pct. in Far Rockaway, prosecutors said at the arraignment in Kew Gardens. Curtin filed a complaint against the cops with members of the NYPD’s Internal Affairs Bureau while being treated for head injuries that night at a local hospital.. “They smacked my head against the wall,” the former Wall Street money trader said. |

| Relief Beat
Joining the growing ranks of hip-hop artists leading relief efforts in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, Queens’ vegan visionary Russell Simmons has called upon New Yorkers to donate whatever they can.
Last week, Simmons organized The Hood-A-Thon, an event at St. Albans’ Occasions Catering Hall, to drum up water, clothes, canned goods and about $14,000 to transport the aid supplies directly to Houston and Mississippi. With the help of comedian Chris Rock, musician Wynton Marsalis and others, Simmons also put together a telethon, broadcast on BET network. New Orleans, before Katrina, was home to nearly 326,000 African-Americans, making up about 67% of the city’s total population. | |||||||||
