A great look, a cool name and the title of Scream Queen has been working like gangbusters for Seregon O’Dassey. This Pennsylvania native has called New York home for a few years now, and has been modeling and acting for the better part of the last 15 years.

“Actually, I wanted to take acting classes when I was a kid,” Seregon said. “I did ballet until 10, when I broke my toe. I wanted to explore other avenues creatively, and when I was in high school I started singing backup with local bands. I lost some weight and was offered the chance to model.”

Mostly appearing in glamour and lingerie shots, Seregon was able to find her way into the pages of Stuff and Playboy.

“It’s a full-time job,” Seregon said. “I mostly do acting now.”

She has appeared in a slew of TV shows and commercials, including “One Life To Live” and “As The World Turns.”

Most recently, she’s had some sexy screaming roles in such horror flicks as “Ghost Watcher 2” and “Brain Damage.” She just wrapped a film in Maryland last week and is preparing for a new role in September.

In her down time, Seregon takes her craft very seriously. She goes to the gym to stay in shape and works on monologues for auditions.

“You have to keep your mind as sharp as your body,” she said. “Going to the gym and looking the part is only part of it.”

Seregon also spends a lot of time on the phone, catching up with Mom back in Pennsylvania, and cleaning her house.

“It’s a mess,” she said.

Seregon enjoys hanging out in Italian neighborhoods of Queens – her boyfriend is Italian – and taking in the fresh pasta and old-world charm.

“It’s great here,” she said.

Please stay.

Liu & Brody

Queens Kids: (top) Lucy Liu; (above) Adrien Brody
There’s no doubt that many QConf readers will remember director Tony Kaye best for his debut movie effort, the cult classic “American History X,” starring Edward Norton.

Practically blacklisted after off-screen drama on the cutting room floor, Kaye has had a tough time of it ever since, filming several forgotten flicks. His current effort, which is being shot in our illustrious borough, might finally land Kaye another hit.

Snagging an all-star cast, including every brainy girl’s dream, Woodhaven’s Adrien Brody, and luscious Jackson Heights-born beauty Lucy Liu, the drama “Detachment” chronicles three weeks in the life of New York City public school staff and students.

With such an all-star Queens cast, we should all expect something worth watching. Fingers crossed – at least for Lucy’s sake.


Steven Slater

Grand Finale

Steven Slater has become a cult legend in a matter of days.

He quit his job with flair and pizzazz. No two weeks notice or thanks for the wonderful opportunity spiel. Slater, a Belle Harbor man, launched into an obscenity-laced tirade over the PA system of a JetBlue flight pulling in to a gate at JFK.

His rant was allegedly in response to a scuffle between him and a passenger before the plane left Pittsburgh. The fracas left a bloody gash on Slater’s head when the passenger opened an overhead baggage compartment and luggage fell on Slater, 38.

He was charged with reckless endangerment and criminal mischief.

Shouting obscenities was not enough. Slater grabbed a beer and ran down the aisle to the back of the plane and out via the emergency chute. He then took the AirTrain to his car and drove home where authorities later found him in bed with his boyfriend.

Now that is an exit. Can anyone top that? !


Off The Market

Alicia Keys weds Swizz Beatz
It seems Chelsea Clinton was not the only fair maiden who said “I do” two weekends ago. Alicia Keys, baby bump and all, walked down aisle looking like a Grecian Goddess as she said “I do” to Swizz Beatz.

The Queens beauty married the producer/rapper on July 31 on the French island of Corsica. She looked absolutely radiant in an ivory silk georgette draped Vera Wang gown.

Alicia Keys is officially off the market.


Frustration

Last Wednesday night, after another appalling at-bat, Mets slugger David Wright took his frustration out on the dugout, whacking the bench and drink containers repeatedly with his apparently cursed bat.

Unfortunately, the frustration did not end there, and was not limited to just the All-Star third baseman.

Mets closer Francisco (K-Rod) Rodriguez, known for his lightning bolt of an arm, allegedly unleashed a bit of his thunderbolt into the face of his father-in-law following that same game, inside the family waiting room at Citi Field. He has been charged with assault and other offenses and an order of protection issued.

The Mets acted quickly to suspend him without pay.

The bigger question at this point, is how long until each of the Mets finally feels as frustrated as the fans for yet another abysmal collapse of a team that should be able to go all the way?


Shark Shock

Rockaway Beach turned into a scene from “Jaws” Aug. 7 when sharks were spotted in the surf, closing down sections on a hot Saturday afternoon.

Though sharks do swim in the waters off Queens, it isn’t often we see them coming close to shore, but this summer, sharks have apparently felt the need to mingle with us all over the East Coast. Last month, a juvenile shark came right up onto the beach in New Jersey, as if to say “hey” and swam back out in the ocean.

Speculation was that the three great whites were babies; so, you’re not going to need a bigger boat. But where there are babies, a hungry and stressed out mommy isn’t far behind.

Nevertheless, bathers took the sightings in stride. A few hours after the sharks were spotted, surfers and swimmers were back in the water. Sharks don’t phase New Yorkers…as long as they don’t ask to build a mosque.
