STATEN ISLAND SCOOPS

News from the hometown of the Staten Island Yankees...

A small plane made an emergency landing in a landfill:

The large ad it was carrying was seen scattered in a strip of trees nearby the site. It originally read, "If you died today, would you go to heaven or hell? John 4:16"

A 17-year old boy was arrested for terrorism at an Apple Store:

Barry told police he was only joking when he typed the letter under a friend's dad's name Monday and left it on the screen at the Apple store at the Staten Island Mall.

"I have threatened your store and all its employees with a bloody death ... whoever the crew maybe working, or the innocent citizens that walk in ... will be eliminated with the force of a ... bomb loaded with C4, strapped to my chest," the letter said, according to prosecutors.

A cabaret at a hotel chain will present impersonators of dead celebrities:

Frank, Dino and Sammy never could keep their paws off the ladies. Expect no less when Sinatra, Martin and Davis Jr. swing into Staten Island for some lovin’.

OK, well not in the flesh, but Lorenzo’s Cabaret in the Hilton Garden Inn is promising damn good impersonations of the iconic entertainers. The New York Rat Pack lands here Jan. 22... with an act that wraps the audience into the action, launching a new cabaret season at the Bloomfield hotel.
