| Club Hopper
It’s hard to imagine an 18-year-old is a pro at anything, but it’s a safe title to give Rochelle Aikens. The Howard Beach native has been modeling since she was 12, and has learned the pitfalls and highs of the job.
“It’s my kind of thing. I was born for it. It’s always been something I wanted,” she said. The avid club-hopper has seen her fair share of shifty characters. “I don’t do nude photography, art photography or any of that. There have been a couple of times where someone will say, ‘Okay, just your top off,’ but the answer is always no.” When she isn’t having her picture taken, Aikens admits to loving food, having already eaten three servings of large McDonald’s fries by 3 p.m. She also guiltily revealed a little secret: She practices her dance moves and sings. “A lot of people don’t know anything about that,” Aikens said. “I put together moves. It’s something I started ’cause I was embarrassed of it.” Aikens plans on having an educational parachute as she starts studying towards a psychology degree at the Borough of Manhattan Community College.

| Now Playing Center Field…
The Mets have been feeling pretty low lately and playing something awful. If they can just hold on till July, Sir Paul McCartney, Beatle extraordinaire, can lift their spirits.
McCartney will host the first concert at Citi Field on July 17 and 18. McCartney, a stalwart friend of the Mets since the Beatles took the place by storm in 1965, helped close out Shea Stadium, the old Mets home. Let’s see if he can bring the magic back to Flushing. |

| Schoolyard To NBA Finals
The stakes in the Lamar Odom - Rafer Alston rivalry have never been higher. The Jamaica ballers have been playing hoops together since they started dribbling, and now their journey has led to opposite sides in this year’s NBA finals.
Odom, 29, will be starting at forward for the Los Angeles Lakers while Alston, 32, plays point guard for the Orlando Magic. “No matter who wins, the borough of Queens is going to be happy,” Odom told the Los Angeles Times. The two faced off as far back as their playground era, when Alston earned the name “Skip To My Lou” for skipping while bring the ball up the court. No matter who wins, it will be the first championship ring for Queens since Kenny Smith won two rings with the Houston Rockets in 1994 and 1995. |

| 'You’re A Disgrace' – Dot Com
Mayor Mike Bloomberg’s sharp words for former Trib reporter Azi Paybarah have become the rallying cry for his term limits critics.
First there was his Facebook Fan page. Now a group opposed to the mayor’s power grab has launched a new Web site, youreadisgrace.com. The site has gathered various quotes by Bloomberg when he opposed changes to term limits – before he changed them himself. It also includes a brief history of term limits in New York City and links to various critics of the mayor’s efforts to seek a third term. Bloomberg’s told Paybarah, “you’re a disgrace,” after the New York Observer newsman tripped him up with a pointed question during a press conference in Queens two weeks ago. |

| Oscar Bound?
Jason Patric, the Queens-born actor who “wowed” in a handful of cinematic middling adventures such as “Speed 2” and “Roger Corman’s Frankenstein Unbound” is returning to the big screen this summer in a picture that has Oscar written all over it.
Patric plays the father of two girls in “My Sister’s Keeper,” based on the best-selling book about a family’s pre-engineered genetic match of a daughter who was “created” to be a bone marrow donor for her older sister stricken with Leukemia. Early buzz already is talking about a second Oscar nod for Abigail Breslin, who was nominated a couple of years back for her work in “Little Miss Sunshine.” We hope that Jason’s involvement in what is likely to be a critical tear-jerker will be a boost for his career which seems to have skidded since he hit the ground running in 1987’s “The Lost Boys.” |

| Pedodefiled
The Attorney General isn’t necessarily a popular guy with certain people. But Andrew Cuomo has gathered the unique interest of the North American Man/Boy Love Association -- an organization that has the word “love” in its name, but not in its heart.
The Post reported that the perv-group placed a $10,000 bounty on the Queens native’s head via online message board. The “reward” was offered under the title: “$10,000 to shoot Andrew Cuomo in the face!” The Attorney General’s office and law enforcement officials are looking into an imprisoned NAMBLA-ite, one that Cuomo is trying to keep locked up. The “pedophile community” has been incensed about the AG after he demanded internet service providers police the Web for child pornography. | |||||||||
