Michelle Henn
Home: Kew Gardens Age: 22 Ht: 5’3 Wt: 130 Stats: 34DD-28-36 Starshoot USA! One look from Michelle Henn would leave most people breathless. Luckily for them Michelle isn’t just a pretty face; she’s also a nurse. The 2003 LaGuardia Community College grad recently shed her sterile nurse’s outfit for more glamorous get-ups as her curvaceous body and Rupunzel-like hair caught the eye of a few modeling scouts. Michelle, a Ridgewood native living in Kew Gardens, is in negotiations with a “major magazine and clothing line” and hopes to ink a deal soon. Although tight-lipped about which designers, Michelle spilled the beans on how she keeps that breath-taking hair intact. “Just brush it a lot and use conditioner. That’s the most important thing,” Henn said of her hair, which can take up to an hour to dry. But the nurse-turned model admitted looking good on the outside, really does come from within. The self described “jeans and turtleneck kind of girl” said when she shops, she heads to places like “Express, The Gap, Banana Republic, and H&M,” because their clothes are “not so much trendy, but comfortable. I don’t’ see the point in wearing something uncomfortable, because it makes you self conscious and that shows.” When the knockout nurse wants to relax, she trades in her nurse’s outfit and swimsuits for bowling shoes. The fashion-conscious cutie said she likes bowling, but when asked if bowling attire should be on the runway, she said, “I like the shoes. They’re cute.” Michelle said she’s not the only one who can make her dreams come true. “You can do plenty of things. You just need the energy and the time.” |

| Don’t Blame Al
Who could blame Al Leiter for wanting out from the New York Mets rotation?
He’s a 39-year-old starting pitcher who never quite regained the chops he had right before he came here in the ‘90s following the Marlins winning the World Series. Then Mets declined the $10 million option they had on him for the 2005 season. Finally, he has been offered $7 million and a guarantee to be the voice of the Marlins on the radio starting in 2006. It may be one thing to be a commentator for Fox, but there it's a whole other world to be known as the voice of a team. Leiter has been involved in a number of charitable organizations in Queens, and will be sorely missed by fans and those whom he helped alike. But the potential loss of Leiter coincides with the gain of Kris Benson with a three-year contract, who is already known for his own charity work. Benson’s Battalion, an organization founded by the pitcher and his wife, works to raise funds for police departments around the country to purchase equipment and supplies. |

| Basketbrawl
It appears Ron Artest has gotten his wish.
The Indiana Pacers star and Queensbridge native has been campaigning for some time off to promote his record label’s debut release “Chapter III” by the female R&B group Allure. After being suspended for the remainder for the season for the infamous player-on-fan basketbrawl in Detroit, there should be no excuse if the record doesn’t go multi-platinum. Artest was handed down the stiffest punishment in the history of the NBA for charging into the stands at the Palace of Auburn Hills in the closing seconds of a game with the Detroit Pistons. He got into a punching match with a fan he thought threw beer at him during a skirmish on the floor. But apparently the grass is always greener. Now that he’s free to pursue his music career full time, at least for the rest of this season, he’s talking about playing basketball again. “I have so much confidence in my squad and I have so much confidence I’ll be back,” he said. “I’m out for the season, but I’m hoping to be back for the playoffs.” |

| The Truth Behind Political Humor?
Heard at Queens Theatre in the Park’s Legislative Review, the bash where elected officials poke fun at themselves and others:
One-termer: Outgoing one-termer, Assemblyman Barry Grodenchik was introduced as having 30 days left in office. Grodenchik came out, looking every inch like Jason Alexander (Seinfeld’s George Constanza) corrected, “Actually, 31 days, 7 hours and 20 minutes, but who’s counting.” Charlie Brown: Charlie Brown, played by Councilman Leroy Comrie, runs for school senator, with others characters played by Assemblymembers Ivan Lafayette and Audrey Pheffer, trying to boost Charlie’s confidence. His faithful dog, Snoopy (played with tail-wagging glee by Pheffer’s husband, Glenn Riddell) offers his security blanket. Charlie declines the blanket which is then unfurlled reading, “Hillary in 2008!” TRIBute: Albany’s famed late budget was skewered with the QTIP players asking Mark Weprin, “Can’t you guys ever pass a budget on time?” Weprin broke into song as he responded, “We did, when Albany was King and the Queens Tribune could kiss our -, but the speaker will wear white again when Albany is on top again.” Ada’s Sonny Disposition: Ada Smith, infamous for her, er, temper, played ‘60s singer-turned ‘70s TV cut up, Sonny Bono to Serf Maltese’s Cher, poked fun of herself when Maltese as Cher (complete with long black hair and lipstick) tells “Sonny” not to go causing “a ruckus.” “Me, cause a Ruckus? Impossible!" said the Albany diva to the howls of the large audience familiar with the Senator’s years of lashing out at the slightest provocation. Jeopardy: In a Jeopardy skit that saw Congressman and mayoral-candidate-might-be, Anthony Weiner as Alex Trebek, he said to contestants Gregory Meeks, Betsy Gotbaum and John Liu, “This councilman is considered a secret Asian.” "Who’s John Liu?” responded Meeks. “It’s no secret. I’ve been Asian all my life,” corrected Liu. “Who’s Allan Jennings?” Incidentally, if the political thing doesn’t work out, Weiner could someday replace Trebek. Gif Kisses Up: In an ode to Queens’ role in his election to Speaker of the City Council and a kiss- up for his all-but announced run for mayor, Giff Miller sang a revamped customized version of “I Get A Kick Out of Queens.” |
