The Internets [Daily News blog], Queen Latifah has advice for Nets: Stay put!
Queen Latifah said she's been a Nets fan her whole life, which makes sense because she was born in Newark and grew up nearby. So we asked her what she thought of the possibility of the Nets moving out of her home state.
"I'm not happy about that at all," she said between takes. "I've been riding them a little bit about that. I'm like, 'Who's in charge here and how can we change it?' I'm looking forward to what they're going to do but I'm always going to be a Nets fan regardless of where they end up. But I just hope they don't leave New Jersey because they're our team, for God's sake. They're the New Jersey Nets and I want them to stay the New Jersey Nets. But it is business so you've got to do what you've got to do."
Here's an idea: Maybe Queen Latifah can get together with some other rich celebs who hail from the Garden State and buy the team from Bruce Ratner. In fact, I've got another Bruce in mind.
Our Streets - Our Stories [Dean Street Block Association], How to send your Atlantic Yards comments to the ESDC
The pro-forma public hearings have come and gone, and we are now in a public comment period. It is vital that everyone in the community let the ESDC and the 3 Men in a Room (Governor Paterson, Assemblyman Sheldon Silver, and…some guy in the State Senate…) know that this is totally unacceptable!

We always like it when we can spread a little sunshine.

NoLandGrab: For those of you not hip to NLG lingo, "Mr. H to the Izzo" is aka Sean Carter.
