| Dynamite Detours
Alneita Jones
Home: Rosedale Age: 26 Height: 5’8 Weight: 135 Stats: 36, 24, 36 Black Cartel For Rosedale’s red-hot Alneita Jones, looking good is a matter of taste, you could say. In recounting the road to modeling, the 26-year-old with a perfect set of 36-24-36 measurements recalled some early detours with her first modeling agency. “They wanted me to lose 20 pounds so they put me on a pasta diet,” she said, “and it didn’t work. I ended up gaining 10 pounds, I was so embarrassed it didn’t work out.” Jones, fresh out high school then, said she “ended up going to college in upstate New York.” On the way to earning her business administration degree, Jones learned something else – how to diet. With nothing to hide, Jones spilled the beans on her metamorphosis. Jones credits the Fit for Life diet with getting her modeling career back on track. Before noon, she only eats fruit. After noon, she can either have meat and vegetables, or foods rich in carbohydrates, like pasta. The key, she said, is not to mix the meats with the carbs – ever. Three years after shedding her weight, Jones swears by the diet. Like a butterfly out of a cocoon, Jones returned, slimmed, trimmed, and ready to show the world what they’ve been missing. She describes her style as “sexy, but not sleazy.” What’s the difference, you ask? “Sexy is when you leave a little to the imagination, sleazy is when you don’t,” said Jones. “I like low cut jeans, half tops. If I show cleavage, I’m not going to show too much else,” she said. “I balance it all out.” Other super-hotties who keep it sexy, but not sleazy, according to Jones, include J-Lo, and Beyonce. Who crosses over to sleaze? – Lil’ Kim. Whatever Jones calls her style, it’s working. She reportedly is in talks right now with MTV and is one of the hot bods that could be hosting a show during spring break. As for the exposure her body is getting so far, Jones plays it pretty cool, remembering the days when she wasn’t turning as many heads. “Life is so short, there’s so much more to life than what’s on the outside to someone.” |

| Hot Pants
A 13-year-old girl on a Queens subway gave new meaning to the phrase “hot pants” when her jeans caught on fire after her leg touched a heater under her seat on the E train.
A hairpin jammed into the heater was the cause of the malfunction. The young lady walked away with minor burns and a valuable lesson: hotter is not always better. |

| Filming In Rosedale
The stars are out in Rosedale this spring – movie stars that is.
Rosedale has become a temporary habitat to a bunch of Hollywood types in recent days during the filming of an upcoming movie called “Romance and Cigarettes.” The film will star James Gandolfini of “Sopranos” fame, Susan Sarandon, Kate Winslet and Astoria native Christopher Walken. The movie has been described as “a big-screen musical ... ‘Pennies From Heaven’ meets ‘The Honeymooners.’ ... In it, a two-timing husband must choose between his mistress and his beleaguered wife,” said the website imdb.com. No word on a release date. |

| Laying An Egg At Fort Totten
While at a recent press conference at Fort Totten, Queens Borough President Helen Marshall was giving her thoughts on the planned renovations, but a local resident decided it wasn't worth hearing.
As Marshall was giving her enthusiastic speech, a goose that had built a nest in a tree above the press conference and just didn’t want to be disturbed decided to make some noise. A lot of noise. Enough to get everyone’s attention. The goose kept on squaking during the press conference, but only when Marshall spoke. The honker peered over the crowd from a branch above Marshall and other elected officials, loudly voicing the concerns of the feathered community, worrying about being displaced from their homes. After a while, most people in the crowd stopped listening to what Marshall was saying and just pointed and laughed at the outraged goose. But she went on, ignoring it. As soon as Marshall was finished, the goose seemed satisfied with the racket it had made. We can’t be sure, though – the goose unfortunately could not be reached for comment. |

| Fashionable Queens
Queens can take all the credit for Salt-N-Pepa’s fashion sense.
The two lyricists worked at Sears, Roebuck and Company in Flushing before making it big with their hits, “Push It” and “Let’s Talk About Sex.” Without Queens, the stonewashed jeans and asymmetrical haircuts that Salt-N-Pepa rocked may have never made it into hip-hop. |

| Mother Dearest: The Rocco Saga Simmers
Rocco DiSpirito, the Queens-born reality TV restaurateur and chef, has been making more headlines with legal torts than dessert tarts lately, and now, his meatball-making mother is getting in on the act.
Investors in Rocco’s 22nd Street, the Manhattan eatery featured in the hit show “The Restaurant,” filed suit against DiSpirito earlier this year, claiming the celebrity chef had run the business into the ground. Now, in a legal paper filed in Manhattan Supreme Court, DiSpirito is firing back with a $6 million lawsuit of his own against the investors. “This dream has become a nightmare,” DiSpirito said in the court documents. Among the many claims lodged in the counter-suit, DiSpirito alleged that the management company had cooked the books to make the reality restaurant look like a money-loser so that investors would not have to pay DiSpirito for his services. To make matters worse, DiSpirito accused the management company of exploiting his own mother. “Indeed, for months,” the law suit says, management “failed and refused to pay any wages to Rocco’s 79-year-old mother, who each day comes to the restaurant and prepares hundreds of meatballs, claiming they could not confirm the hours she worked.” Though Nicolina DiSpirito, a former public school cafeteria worker, did eventually get paid for her toil, the relationship between Rocco and the investors remain in hot water. The suit also claims that management fired the pasta chefs and began serving frozen noodles, and also alleges that the locks have been changed and that Rocco has no key to his own eatery. Enough to make one boil? | |||||||||
