| You Gotta Have Hart
Lisa Hart Home: Astoria Age: 23 Height: 5’4’’ Weight: 110 lbs Stats: 34-25-33 Lisa Hart has only been modeling for a year, but already the 23-year-old from Astoria has raked up photo shoots, modeling competitions and even a spot on a magazine cover. “I’m 100 percent committed to modeling, and it’s definitely something I’d like to take to the next level,” Lisa said in a recent interview. “But I’m not going to let it jeopardize my day job.” For the past two-and-a-half years, Lisa has been working at MTV News, and was promoted to administrative coordinator a few months ago. She said that working at MTV is great because she fits right into the laid-back and youth-oriented environment. When not modeling or working at MTV, Lisa is probably relaxing by watching a sports game or eating at some of her favorite Queens restaurants. “I am a die-hard Yankees fan,” Lisa said. “I’m very laid-back and I love going to ball games and watching sports. I also love the New York Giants and I’m a major [Ultimate Fighting Championship] fan.” Residing only one block from the Bohemian Hall & Beer Garden in Astoria, Lisa regularly frequents the neighborhood joint. She also hangs out at Central and Avenue Lounge, two Astoria nightclubs with “great food and great music.” She loves going out to eat with her family, and her favorite restaurant is Lenny’s Clam Bar in Howard Beach, where she orders penne ala vodka. “I love Queens because it is the most diverse borough,” Lisa told us. “It also feels very homey. Here, you see a lot of families, restaurants and businesses that have been around for years.” Lisa said that she is only just beginning her modeling career, and is looking forward to what the future holds. She has already been featured in MMA Sports Magazine and she landed a spot on the cover of Register Magazine, a publication about modeling. Lisa is now gearing up to enter Maxim’s Hometown Hotties competition, and is excited to see what the future holds. “I like surprises,” Lisa said. “I like modeling because you don’t know where it’s going to take you. It comes at you sporadically and I’m excited to see what will happen.” |

| Angela Rocks!
Sony Classics has just released a new Angela Lansbury compilation of the tunes she performed on Broadway. The CD, which is one of four honoring Broadway legends and titled “The Legends of Broadway – Angela Lansbury” features tunes from “Anyone Can Whistle,” “Mame,” “Gypsy,” “Dear World” and “Sweeney Todd.”
Lansbury, who once resided in Douglaston, began her Broadway career in the 1950s. She may be best known her for work as author/detective Jessica Fletcher on the TV series “Murder, She Wrote.” Lansbury has received Tony Awards for her performances in most of the featured musicals on the disc, and she also appeared in “The Great White Way,” “Hotel Paradiso,” “A Taste of Honey” and “The King and I.” Lansbury’s numerous film credits include “Gaslight,” “The Picture of Dorian Gray” and “The Manchurian Candidate,” all of which brought her Academy Award nominations. She is slated to return to Broadway later this season in Terrence McNally’s “Deuce.” |

| The Astoria Notes
In this city, everyone has a story about a noisy neighbor. One blog, www.IronicSans.com, posted “The Astoria Notes,” a series of notes that chronicle the story of an oddly polite neighbor in Astoria who is angry about the noise coming from upstairs.
“Dear Neighbor,” the first note began. “When you arrive late every night, you are probably concentrating on your chores and don’t realize that this building, this street, the traffic, the people are all very still, very quiet.” David, the blogger and recipient of the note, was stunned by the meticulous care that was put into the handwritten letter. “The care and craftsmanship that went into writing this note was beyond anything I’d ever heard of from an angry neighbor,” he wrote on IronicSans. As the series of notes, greeting cards and personal encounters continue, the epistolary exchanges get more and more intriguing. Eventually David moved from his Astoria apartment, but his notes attracted lots of attention from readers—including the interest of an English teacher at Santa Fe High School in Gainesville, Fla. The teacher asked David if he could use “The Astoria Notes” as a reading assignment in his class. David agreed, and one week later, the teacher wrote back to him. “So your blog went over great with my kids. They are all, for the most part, kids who really struggle academically (especially with reading), so to see them tear through your story with a sense of urgency was extremely rewarding.” |

| Wrong Victim
A Queens man who had a less than stellar idea about who to rob, ended up in jail recently, according to the Associated Press.
Anthony Genovese knocked on the door of Cathy Lynch, wife of Patrolman’s Benevolent Association President Pat Lynch, and told her his car had broken down. He tried to gain access to the home, and convince Lynch to give him money. When Lynch refused, he tried another angle only to be rebuffed again. Lynch called her husband, who found out the car was stolen after a routine license plate check. Genovese and a female accomplice were arrested and the car was seized. |

| Queens' Nancy
Former first lady and Queens native Nancy Reagan is inviting Republican candidates to the first-ever debate at her husband’s library in Simi Valley.
The Ronald Reagan Presidential Library will host the debate May 3 featuring questions submitted through a Web site. “Ronnie always hoped the library would be a place where policymakers will debate the future,” Fox News reported Nancy as saying. “This presidential debate provides the opportunity to fulfill his wishes.” Nearly a dozen Republicans have announced their candidacies for the 2008 presidential race including Arizona Sen. John McCain, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney. The debate will be moderated by MSNBC and aired on the cable news channel, as well as simulcast online at politico.com. Online viewers will be able to submit questions to the candidates via the site, according to politico.com. Can we ask her why she made “Hellcats of the Navy”? |
