Queens Girl


Jamie Righetti
Home: Middle Village
Age: 23
Height: 5’ 6"
Weight: 115 lbs
Stats: 32-26-34



Though Jamie is originally from Ridgewood and now lives in Middle Village, this gal has big dreams in mind – and is on her way toward making them come true.

Currently enrolled as a Biology major at Columbia University, Jamie admits that science is not her first love. She is a singer/songwriter by trade, having played in such clubs as Kenny’s Castaways and the Bitter End. Getting into modeling happened by chance. She was shooting some promotional material for her music, and decided that she enjoyed being in front of the camera.

Photographers agreed, and Jamie said she has been getting a steady stream of job offers.

“The modeling is just something I enjoy,” she said. “I’m hoping it will open up other doors for me.”

Jamie, who compared her style to KT Tunstall and Sheryl Crow, has her music and images available online at her Web site, jamierighetti.com, and also on her Myspace page, myspace.com/jamierighetti.

When she’s not playing music or going to school, Jamie can be found cheering on her beloved New York Mets, checking out the Indian restaurants of Jackson Heights; Delhi Palace is her favorite, though Dosa Diner is the best for vegetarians, she said.

Despite potential for success, Jamie has no plans to move away anytime soon.

“I like Queens,” she said. “It’s still busy like the City, but it feels like home.”

Wright Flight

In celebration of their emergence from Chapter 11 Bankruptcy, Delta teamed up with the New York Mets on Tuesday, May 1 at an event attended by David Wright, Endy Chavez and Mets Manager Willie Randoloph at LaGuardia Airport.

While emergence from bankruptcy is all well and good, New Yorkers in the terminal were a little more enthralled by David Wright making boarding announcements and Randolph taking tickets. The flight was Delta number 1920 to Boston, nicknamed the “Wright Flight” by the airline, complete with a plane brandished with Wright’s number and the Mets logo.


Busted?

Queens porn king Ron Jeremy

It seems Flushing-born, former adult film star Ron Jeremy left his manners in Queens.

At the Exotica porn convention in Miami Beach in early April, one woman filed a police report claiming that “the legendary porn star stuck his hands under her blouse, reached inside her bra…grabbed her nipple and then signed her breast without permission, according to TMZ.com.

The Cardozo High School and Queens College graduate, who holds the Guinness Book of World Records title for most appearances in adult films ever (more than 800), claimed he did nothing wrong.

“First of all, there was security around me at all times,” he said. “I probably signed about 150 boobs that weekend, all of which I sign ‘RJ with a heart’… Rules of the convention were that you cannot expose a breast, so I never did,” TMZ reported.

The Queensite maintained that he is always respectful, even going as far as obtaining permission from fans’ boyfriends and spouses before signing their breasts.

No charges were formally filed against Jeremy, according to the report, but he could face battery charges for such action.

Still denying the whole incident, Jeremy told TMZ: “Some people waited an hour for me to sign their breast[s]. My line was second only to Jenna Jameson.


Strip & Moan

Nina Sky: Queens twins Natalie and Nicole

To welcome the hot sweaty season of summer, the Queens musical duo known as Nina Sky is giving the people exactly what they want – a summer anthem that requires and is begging for gals and guys to take their “Clothes Off.”

Similar to rapper Nelly’s “Hot in Here,” the duo’s song or introduction to a strip tease is blatantly asking for patrons to take their clothes off in “da club.”

Of course the identical twins Natalie and Nicole repeat the chorus over and over and over…

“What I want to I imagine you, get your clothes off, get your clothes off, baby, I would like to get a look at you, get you clothes off, get your clothes off, what I can do, do, do to you to get your clothes off?”

For fans of the music divas, this is not the only hit that will be blaring from car stereos this summer. There is also the brilliant, “Flippin That,” with a series of moans featuring the rapper Rick Ross, who inaudibly channels the Incredible Hulk with grunts and growls through various parts of the presumably hit record.

Between the stripping and the moaning, it’s sure to be another hot summer here in Queens.


Tenet’s Tome

Queens' George Tenet

George J. Tenet, former director of the Central Intelligence Agency, recently released the controversial “At the Center of the Storm: My Years at the CIA,” (HarperCollins, 2007) an eye-opening, candid account of life inside America’s first line of defense.

Tenet, born in Bayside and raised in Douglaston, and whose family owned Little Neck’s Scobee Diner for decades, held the CIA top position from 1997-2004, the second-longest director’s tenure in the agency’s history.

According to HarperCollins, Tenet addresses and examines several issues surrounding the CIA during his tenure, including the events that led up to Sept. 11; the declaration of war on Al-Qaeda in 1998; CIA operations inside Afghanistan; the worldwide operational plan to fight terror; his warnings to White House officials in the spring and summer of 2001; and the plan for response laid down just six days after the attacks.

Now we have something to read as we wait for our cheeseburger deluxe at the diner.


Web Spinning


Spider-Man has swung into action and the hysteria surrounding his return to New York in the third leg of the series is profound. The power of comic heroes can render the sternest adult a victim to his childhood ideologies.

Maybe Hal Rosenbluth, the president of Kaufman Studios in Astoria, fits that mold. While celebrating the movie’s premiere at the studio his zeal bubbled over.

“We are celebrating not only the movie’s premiere, but our very own neighborhood,” he said. “We’re proud to welcome Peter Parker back to Queens.”

Umm….we almost hate to break it to Rosenbluth, but the webbed wonder, along with Santa, the Easter Bunny, aren’t real. Our apologies, but someone has to be the bearer of bad news.

Or do they?

As reported by the Tribune year ago, when Spidey first hit the big screen, the real Parker home can be found on a quiet, landscaped street in Forest Hills Gardens and across the street is the real Osborne home, the webbed-wonder's arch enemy.

Art imitating reality? Or reality imitating art? Who knows?

In any case, the premiere of “Spider-Man 3” at the historic Kaufman Studios, was a landmark event -- the first movie ever to debut in Queens.
