| Models Of Queens
Juliana Vieira quit modeling years ago.
Her mom said she never took it seriously and would not cooperate with anyone. But that was when she was four years old – now that she’s 20, Juliana said she is much more mature. “It’s something I want to start again,” she said. The Bellerose beauty said auditioning for commercials and doing print work would be an ideal career and she should know – she’s currently enrolled at the Fashion Institute of Technology studying fashion marketing. “If modeling doesn’t work out I’d still like to be in the business,” she said. Juliana, at first, thought she might like to enter the management side of the music business but after working at Sony BMG and noticing the problems it’s facing, she decided to pursue her other love of art and fashion. Juliana said she loves the work of model Adriana Lima and would love to follow in her footsteps. “No matter what she’s wearing, she always looks classy and like a woman,” she said. “She’s very professional.” Juliana likes to go to concerts featuring World Music. She got into music because of her parents who are Portuguese and Puerto Rican. “I grew up listening to different kinds of music,” she said. Juliana’s sister also is interested in modeling but she’s waiting to see how Juliana does. “My sister is like ‘if you make it, it will be easier for me,’” Juliana said. When hanging out in Queens, Juliana likes to go back to Astoria where she grew up and visit the restaurants she grew up with like Sac’s Pizza Place on Broadway. “They know me by name there,” she said. “I love it.” Juliana Vieira Home: Bellerose Age: 20 Height: 5’7" Weight: 120 lbs.

| Astoria and Army Bound
An article in last week’s issue of the Onion pokes fun at American author John Cheever. The headline reads, “How Come No One Celebrates My Alcoholism Like John Cheever’s?” Needless to say, great talents seem to get away with more than your everyday folk.
But Cheever wasn’t so celebrated as to escape from having to enlist in the armed services. And, when at the start of WWII, the United States Army Signal Corps Army Pictorial Service took over Kaufman Astoria Studios in Queens, Cheever was there. “The old Paramount studio in Astoria, swarmed with writers, actors, directors, cameramen, cartoonists, film editors and sound technicians working on training and orientation films for the Army Signal Corps,” reads the beginning of Cheever’s book “Glad Tidings.” |

| Album With A Feud
Last week Nas had a No. 1 album and continued a feud with Fox News.
The Queensbridge rapper sold 187,000 copies of his untitled album last week cutting in front of Lil Wayne and Coldplay for the top spot on the Billboard 100. Nas also joined forces with ColorofChange.org outside Fox News’ New York offices to protest, what they believe is the channels’ racist depiction of Barack and Michelle Obama. The organization is an offshoot of controversial MoveOn.org. Fox pundit Bill O’Reilly took special offence to the protesters making their actions the center of his “Talking Points” on July 23. “The Move On organization espouses a radical left agenda and attacks those who oppose that nonsense,” O’Reilly said. “The latest smear from Move On is telling their Kool-Aid-drinking zombie followers that Fox News is smearing Barack Obama and is a racist concern. Of course, that’s a lie ...But in order to intimidate anyone from criticizing Obama in any way, Move On is playing the race card.” During the rapper’s appearance on Comedy Central’s Colbert Report, Nas opined his thoughts of O’Reilly. “Things he’s saying are worse than the worst rap lyrics I’ve ever heard,” he said. He also challenged O’Reilly to a debate. |

| Weprin Meets President Bartlet
Assemblyman Mark Weprin met in Albany with actor Martin Sheen, famous for his portrayal of President Josiah Bartlet in the television show The West Wing. Sheen was in Albany to advocate for the protection of royalties for actors, musicians, and other artists who sometimes lose out because of the proliferation of piracy and illegal internet downloads.
