First Sandy aid trickles into NYC Bloomberg promises grants for people without homes Thousands still in hotels, shelters Plan offers grants to businesses who promise to stay in NY The first chunk of new federal aid for Hurricane Sandy assistance will be largely funnelled to people still stuck without homes, the mayor said yesterday morning. Three months after the storm, thousands of New Yorkers are not sleeping in their own homes. Yesterday, the first Congress-approved aid began filtering in, including $1.77 billion for New York City. Mayor Michael Bloomberg said the funding will create grants for homeowners and businesses struggling to rebuild. In a hearing Tuesday, the City Council addressed the thousands of people unable to return to homes — some in shelters, others in hotels. Many said before the hearing that they are living in squalid conditions. Starting in April or May, the funding will provide grants to homeowners, as well as businesses, who need help getting back on their feet, Bloomberg said. “Some have had their homes completely destroyed, and the question is, what are we going to do to help them?” he said. But Patrick Markee at the Coalition for the Homeless said the proposals do not meet a pressing need — long-term assistance to people waiting for

Longtime medical examiner is retiring JOE CORRIGAN/GETTY IMAGES

New York City’s chief medical examiner is retiring after 24 years of investigating city deaths, including the casualties of 9/11, the mayor announced Wednesday. Dr. Charles Hirsch, 75, was appointed in 1989 as chief medical examiner by the late Ed Koch, who was mayor at the time.

New York Chief Judge Jonathan Lippman has urged lawmakers to overhaul the state’s bail laws, saying the current system was unfair to indigent defendants charged with low-level crimes. During his annual State of the Judiciary speech, Lippman called for legislation that would authorize judges to consider public safety when deciding whether a defendant should be released or held on bail and create a statutory presumption that a person charged with a non-violent crime would be released, unless a prosecutor could show that the person was a flight risk or threat to public safety.

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie called a former White House doctor who said he was dangerously overweight a “hack” and said she should “shut up” unless she examines him. Christie was responding to a CNN report that Connie Mariano, who worked for former President Bill Clinton, said she was worried that the governor may have a heart attack or stroke. “I’m worried about this man dying in office,“ she said in the interview. “You don’t have to be a doctor to see that he is obese,” Mariano said yesterday by telephone from her office, the Center for Executive Medicine in Scottsdale, Ariz. “I’m not a hack.

Apparently Beyonce and her team found some of the pictures unflattering and e-mailed the site to have them take them down as God forbid Beyonce ever looks unattractive. The e-mail from her publicist read, “Thanks for taking my call. As discussed, there are some unflattering photos on your current feed that we are respectfully asking you to change. I am certain that you will be able to find some better photos.” The Word is reprinting some of the photos here. As you can see, they aren’t the best — but how in the world could a few bad shots of Beyonce ruin her stature as an icon? They are merely drops in the ocean of Beyonce imagery

Talking points Brown to redo community service

Trachtenberg

@dorothyatmetro

Chris Brown may have to start his community service all over again now that a Los Angeles District Attorney is alleging the singer failed to provide “credible, competent or verifiable evidence” that he fulfilled his obligation, according to the Los Angeles Times. Brown was given 180 days of community service as part of his sentence for assaulting

and at worst fraudulent reporting.” Brown’s lawyer, Mark Geragos, is promising to fight back, though. “Apparently the district attorney’s office has completely lost their minds,” he tells the newspaper.

Spears heads to Las Vegas Her engagement may be off and her time on “The X Factor” may be over, but Britney Spears still has something to look forward to: The singer is reportedly close to finalizing a deal to perform a series of concerts at a Las Vegas hotel, according to E! News. “We are in

deep negotiations and I’d be shocked if it didn’t happen,” Spears’ manager, Larry Rudolph, says.

Fieri kicked out of Super Bowl party Celebrity chef Guy Fieri didn’t have such a great time when he hit Louisiana for the Super Bowl. When Fieri was reportedly denied access to the VIP area at a pre-Bowl bash at Second Line Studio, “he threw a fit and was kicked out,” a source tells Us Weekly. “He caused a total scene. He didn’t have the right bracelet, and nobody in New Orleans knows who anyone is.”

Brand won’t sink to that level over ex-Perry This column is full of celebrities trash-talking one another (have I mentioned yet how much I loathe the feud between Brandi Glanville and LeAnn Rimes? I feel like I need to talk to a therapist just from reading Glanville’s Twitter feed. They are both so awful). So it’s refreshing to report to you one celebrity who won’t go in the gutter — and he’s a former heroin addict. Go figure. During a recent visit to Howard Stern’s radio show, Russell Brand got the chance to criticize exwife Katy Perry for dating John Mayer, but he didn’t take it. “Doesn’t she know that he’s a worse womanizer than you?” Stern asked, to which Brand joked, “Worse or better, depending on how you view it.” But Stern’s prodding didn’t producer any naysaying. “So help me God, Howard Stern, I will not compromise my exwife’s vagina for the sake of ratings,” Brand declared. “That woman was perfect from top to bottom.” As for Brand’s own love life, “I’m not dating anybody. Actually, I’d like a romance,” he says. “Not so much playing the field, just going through life, meditating, doing yoga, concentrating on this TV show and trying to find a nice wife.”

Brand. Class act.

THE SEVEN HABITS OF HIGHLY EFFECTIVE H

ow has your New Year gone so far? Jason Wu has already created a second inauguration dress, announced plans to launch a makeup line and designed a new ready-towear collection. In many ways, the 30-year-old is the unintentional embodiment of the self-help world’s most famous book, “The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People.” He taught himself English through American fashion magazines, started a women’s wear company with his own savings during a recession and wound up dressing the first lady. In the run-up to his New York Fashion Week show, we chat about Michelle Obama and how he went from admiring supermodels in Vogue as a Mandarinspeaking 9-year-old to hiring them for his ad campaigns.

Three of Jason Wu’s habits

We chat about dressing the first lady and how Wu went from admiring supermodels in Vogue as a 9-year-old to hiring them for his ad campaigns

There was a rumor circulating on Twitter that your first words in English were Stephanie Seymour, who now stars in your ad campaign. Is that true?

Not quite. but it might as well be. [Laughs] When I first moved to Canada from Taiwan, I didn’t speak a lick of English. I grew up speaking Mandarin. So I learned the language by reading my mom’s fashion magazines. I was never the best ‘A’ student in school. I learned by applying what I loved. One day I was talking to my aunt, who also had a lot of fashion magazines, and I pointed out Stephanie Seymour. She was like, ‘How do you know who Stephanie is?’ Fashion seems to be this impenetrable, daunting industry. But for me to be able to get to where I am today speaks to how many opportunities there are. What were you doing in the exact moment when you

Q&A

saw Michelle Obama in her second inauguration gown?

You've dressed Michelle Obama for two inaugurations. How did this one differ? It wasn’t something that I quite expected. I can't say that I know so much about politics. And when I was approached the first time, I wasn’t as familiar with Mrs. Obama. I felt like I was part of a moment. But with this second time, it felt more subtle. I felt like it was important for me to keep pretty private about it. I never wanted to sort of exploit the fact that the first lady has been so great to wear me on such an important occasion.

My staff and I were working because I have my show coming up. We were live-streaming it on my computers, and no one wanted to talk about it so as not to jinx it. But when we saw her, we just all let out this scream. When I first did this four years ago, I had four employees. But this year, I had 30 to celebrate with. In a way, that’s a very clear example of the effect she’s had on the fashion industry.

People say, “Why is it such a big deal that Michelle Obama wore a green dress the other day?” Usually it’s the president talking with the first lady standing by his side. But it says something about the power of

“I wake up every day at 8 a.m. and am at work at 9. I pretty much keep the same schedule. I just never know when I’m going to get home. I always joke that I should just install a shower here in my office.” “The more I take care of myself, the better my

Q&A You’re collaborating with Lancome on a beauty line. Several years before that, you created a nail polish collection for CND. Beauty is a complement to the clothes. In my teens I bought the Kevyn Aucoin books. They were so inspiring for me. I’ve never been the person to do minimal hair and makeup. Beauty has always been a part of the design process for me. Even in my

fashion that Michelle has been able to silently communicate things. For example, she speaks volumes just through the nationality of the designer she chooses. I don’t think there has been any other woman who has used fashion to that effect. To some parts of the world, you, who left Taiwan at the age of 9, are now the face of American fashion.

It’s quite cliche in many ways, but a lot of times we talk about achieving the American dream. And in the real world, you don’t think that ever happens. But my career has changed my mind about that. There was something more grown-up about where we are as a society with this second inauguration.

work will be. I work out, but during show time in winter my workout schedule could be better.” “I like to stay calm and organized. If you were to come backstage to my show before it starts, you’d see a calm environment that contradicts the stereotypical idea of Fashion Week backstage with the models running around with one shoe on and curlers in their hair.”

working with Hollywood actresses, I’ll work with the hair and makeup. I’ve worked with Diane Kruger, Michelle Williams, Jessica Pare. When it’s done correctly, it can create some magical moments. Are there any that stand out in your mind? Diane Kruger at the SAG Awards two years ago. We collaborated together. She wore red lips and was very high glam. The hair and makeup and dress suited the event beautifully.

What can you tell us about your upcoming collection?

I’ve been working on being more confident in what I do and to create real signatures. So there’s going to be a lot of signature Wu-ism that people have come to know me for, taken to another level. That’s the whole part of brandbuilding, to drive the point home every time you do anything. Naturally, I feel like I’ve grown up some. Alexander Wang recently accepted a job as creative director of Balenciaga. Would she ever consider helming a Parisian house?

I guess it’s something I’ll have to see as I cross that bridge. Kenya Hunt

ids used to want to be rappers — but now they want to be fashion designers, which is cool,” says Theophilus London. “It’s an education.” The New York-based rapper is talking about his legions of fans, which he refers to as “kids.” But in terms of the music industry, Theophilus, at 25, is still a youth himself — though a savvy one. In fact, he’s probably had more magazine and newspaper profiles (GQ, Esquire, Elle, The New York Times) and fashion collaborations (Cole Haan, Stussy and Surface to Air) than he’s had musical airtime. And he can namedrop with the best of them. Solange Knowles is “like family, like a sister.” He casually mentions seeing mood boards out at Kanye West’s house, and in the next breath recollects “smoking hash” with Mark Ronson “while chatting about girlfriends and wives and that kind of s—.” Those are some impressive connections considering that London, who was actually born in Trinidad, has only released one album, an EP and a selection of mix tapes. Usually the lucrative endorsement are rewarded after years of toil. However, London has managed to capitalize off of his personal style and cool credibility first. “Rappers used to be wearing Air Jordans,” he says. “I still wear them. But now, the progressive kids are more educated and wanting Givenchy, Rick Owens or Alexander Wang. And Kanye’s clothes — they’re dope.” His own approach to fashion is a studied one. “The black suit and hat that I’m wearing on the

Model fittings We asked Tibi designer Amy Smilovic to keep a diary of her pre-fashion show prep five days before her line debuts Here’s what it takes to put on a runway show at New York Fashion Week ing embroidery things on them and move them into holiday, and make it work. People talk about trends, but sometimes trends start because the factories sent you the wrong damn thing.”

5:30 a.m.: “I wake up and immediately get on Style.com, then e-mail Traci [Bui-Amar], my head designer. She’s the last person I email at night and the first person I e-mail in the morning. I’m sure both of our husbands are like, ‘Cut it out!’”

1 p.m.: “We break for lunch. I make a protein shake with Fage yogurt, spinach, ginger, coconut water, strawberry, banana and pomegranate powder. Leandra Medine [of Manrepeller], who’s in to see the collection, comments on how professional my smoothie looks. She’s into kale right now, so not doing the spinach thing. Whatever.”

7 a.m.: “Get the kids off to school. Breakfast is a PowerBar — for the kids, too. They’re like, ‘Mom, can we make something?’ I’m like, ‘No. Off in the car with a PowerBar.’ Then I’m on the train.” 8:30 a.m.: “I get into the city and grab my third cup of coffee from the deli: French vanilla mixed with strong Columbian. I can’t deal with lines at Starbucks.”

This February, members of the fashion industry have come together for a month of exciting fashion promotions all benefitting City Harvest’s work to end hunger in New York City.

8:45 a.m.: “I walk into the office and run into literally about 75 models lined up, ready to start casting. I take a seat on the couch with my casting director and two of my design team members, and the girls start walking. If they pass, then they try on one of the outfits from the show and they walk in that. Probably only one out of every 10 girls makes it to the outfit change. I always feel bad! What can I say? I’m from the South.” 12:30 p.m.: “A box for the collection arrives: We open it and realize the hooded

Amy Smilovic and her team deliberate.

3 p.m.: “Traci and I start butting heads. I decide to go for a walk. This is my third one today. She always says that I’m just trying to make something look ‘cool’ or I’m just trying to make it look ‘designer.’ And I’m like, ‘Really? ’Cause I don’t want it to look cool?’ But we know that when we fight before a show, that’s when there’s usually the best outcome.” 7 p.m.: “Casting is wrapped up and we start our pricing meeting. Merchandisers look at if you have enough things at X price and Y price, so it’s very long and tedious.” 8pm: “We break for dinner. We order from Yo sushi

FW-7 Getting ready Fashion Week lifesavers: “To clear my head and keep calm before the show, I’ve been turning to Jessie Ware on repeat, Tommy Ton’s style pictures from the Paris couture shows and dreaming of a trip to Hotel Salto Chico. I also load up on bags of chocolate, loads of coffee, sushi, my kids, mindless reality TV (“Housewives”), a massage and my amazing Tibi team.” Pre-show rituals: “I totally believe in karma, so pre-Fashion Week, I tip everyone really well — waiters, cab drivers, manicurists, everybody.” The perfect Fashion Week outfit: “I live in comfort pieces like my R13 jeans, an oversized sweater and a Celine flat ankle boot.

‘COMMUNITY’ As Season 4 premieres tonight, the cast of NBC’s beleaguered oddball comedy reflect on the show’s dramatic changes

T

NBC UNIVERSAL

he cast of “Community” was deep into filming the show’s fourth season, but they couldn’t shake the feeling that something was missing. No, it’s not show creator and former show-runner Dan Harmon, who was quite publicly and unhappily removed from his post this past spring after the witty comedy failed for three seasons to take off in the ratings. No, it’s the fan interaction that was missing, at least according to star Yvette Nicole Brown. “We of course feel the loss of Dan, but as far as our day-to-day life of doing a show, it feels the same,” she says. “It’s usually us making it, and then we have our audience going,

The Jeff and

Jim Rash and Joel McHale on the set of “Community.”

‘Yay!’ or ‘Boo!’ And now we kind of course-correct.” NBC first ordered an abbreviated 13-episode fourth season of “Community” and then pushed it off the fall schedule, leaving it in limbo until it was announced it would return this week.

But when we visited the set, the cast was already filming the season finale. “I guess you miss the feedback if it were to have started to air, but I feel the episodes are good, so I’m not too worried,” says star Joel McHale. “I think it increases the fans’ resolve.”

a dynamite comedy duo all on their own:

Dean Show Who needs writers? “Community” stars Joel McHale and Jim Rash (an Oscar-winning screenwriter) prove in our interview that they’d make

Metro: What would you say is the strangest fan experience you’ve had? McHale: I trying to think. There’s inappropriate, but weird? There’s never … Rash: I sent my sperm to

one fan. Is that weird? McHale: You did? Rash: She asked so nicely for it. McHale: That’s weird. That is weird. Don’t do that again. Rash: What? I did it in private! McHale: Well, I guess it’s legal.

ADVANCED ENGLISH & PROFESSIONAL TRAINING for FEDERAL CAREERS

The changes have also opened up new opportunities for the cast, particularly for Jim Rash, who plays Dean Pelton. Season 4 finds Rash, who won an Oscar for co-writing last year’s “The Descendents,” writing an episode himself, an experience that made him “neurotic and freaked out,” he says. But McHale says not to believe the modesty. “He brought the Oscar with him to set,” McHale jokes. “It would be, ‘Jim, I don’t really understand this line,’ and he would hold up the Oscar and go, ‘Is that clear? Good.’” Ned Ehrbar

Aesop’s troubles

Top 10 ďŹ lms NBC UNIVERSAL

The fabled rapper speaks on trying to return to the stage, but having a rough start with a hurricane and a broken rib

First it was Hurricane Sandy, then a broken rib. Arthouse rapper and producer Aesop Rock’s return to touring after a considerable hiatus got off to a bumpy start with seven shows canceled (albeit now rescheduled). “Canceling is a terrible feeling,� says the rapper whose real name is Ian Bavitz. “The Sandy situation was like, we were driving, we were getting calls. Everyone from promoters to agents to managers to venues were feeling sketchy; at that time everything on the news was speaking of a biblical event. It was a bad place, bad time and we weren’t left with much of a choice. Then this rib thing is just annoying. It’s a medical emergency so there’s not much I can do, but that doesn’t make it

You know him as Aesop Rock, but he also goes by Ian Bavitz.

feel any better.� The tour is for the broody indie-rapper/producer’s first album in five years, “Skelethon,� which features ex-Moldy Peaches’ Kimya Dawson among its contributors. While the Aesop Rock moniker rested, however, Bavitz was busy with several projects under different names. “There’s never much of a time when my actual workload slows. I like doing music and attempting to be creative in general, so if something comes up and seems interesting, I go for it. Anything I do outside of Aesop Rock is more fuel for the fire when I get back to my solo stuff, which I always inevitably do.� Linda Laban

As Valentine’s Day approaches, give it up for your buddies

T

his Valentine’s Day, as you’re bombarded with all things pink, pre fixe dinners and expectations about what you should or shouldn’t do, I’d like to divert your attention to something else: your friends. If Valentine’s Day is truly about recognizing love, then we can’t neglect this aspect of our lives. While the idea that friendships are important may seem obvious, I’d like to challenge you to assess where this priority actually falls on your overall to-do list. When setting life goals, we resolve to work hard, “get ahead,� stay in shape, find that special someone, keep that special someone or start a family. But having good friendships belong on that list too. Having more or better friendships probably gets knocked off by things that

The Hookup AMBER MADISON AMBERMADISONONLINE.COM

seem “more important� because we tend not to look at friendships as “adult� priorities. As long as we can check off the “have friends� box to prove we’re not losers, that can feel good enough. It may not hit us as a pressing matter if our friends aren’t actually that supportive, interesting or fun — or if we’ve neglected to spend quality time with them, be there for them or stay up to speed on their lives. But just checking off the box isn’t enough. More than simply “having friends,� if we want to be truly fulfilled we need to

actually be in our friendships. Put simply, here is what that means: Make time for the friends you adore. Stay present when you’re with them, and be willing to be vulnerable and express your true feelings. If they piss you off, don’t talk crap behind their backs; express your grievances to their faces — I know that’s a scary thought, but I promise getting through it will only make your relationships better. — Amber Madison is a Manhattan-based relationship expert and dating coach.

painful lesson you learned the hard way will be put to the test. You’ll not only avoid making that mistake again, you’ll know exactly how to handle things this time around. Gemini May 21-June 20. Financial and commercial involvements are your strong suits. You’ll not only recognize a good deal when you see one, you’ll know how to make the most of it. Cancer June 21-July 22. The most beneficial involvement you could enter would be some kind of partnership. If each party does his or her best, mutual advantages will result. Leo July 23-Aug. 22. Something you’ve been trying to accomplish that hasn’t worked out thus far can finally be wrapped up if you take a methodical approach.

Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22. Don’t be reluctant to take charge of things when you get the chance. You’ll be far better at calling the shots than you would be trying to comply with the directives of another. Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 23. It behooves you not to waste any time focusing on frivolous pursuits. Bend your efforts toward addressing your more serious problems, handling the tougher ones first. Scorpio Oct. 24-Nov. 22. Don’t beat around the bush when there is a serous issue you need to iron out with another. Get down to basics as quickly as you can, and set your mind upon a resolution. Sagittarius Nov. 23-Dec. 21. The possibility of personal gain looks exceptionally good, even if it won’t be earth-shat-

tering. Be alert for different ways you can improve your material circumstances. Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19. Because there is something difficult that has to be taken care of, you’ll be the one called upon to get it done. Answer the call of your peers with alacrity and zest. BERNICE BEDE OSOL

Jesus Christ and the superstars: A trend worth celebrating RE: “MEET THE HOT, NEW HOLLYWOOD MEET-UP: JESUS” (METRO, FEB. 6) The

news that some celebs are going to a Bible study is the best I’ve heard in a long time! Coming from a 27-year-old Lutheran, which is a rare breed these days, I am thrilled that celebrities are publically showing interest in something other than expensive cars, luxurious island vacations and each other.

Bradshaw latest to go as Giants slash salary Team releases veteran back to clear up free-agent money Wilson’s time to fill starting role Canty also feels cap crunch JIM MCISAAC/GETTY IMAGES

The Giants cut bait with one of their top players yesterday as they continue to free up money for the offseason. Running back Ahmad Bradshaw, who was drafted by the Giants out of Marshall in the seventh round in 2007, was released by the team. “Pound for pound, Bradshaw is one of the toughest football players that I’ve been around,” general manager Jerry Reese said in a statement. “Ahmad played football like Giants football should be played.” Bradshaw took over as the team’s starting running back from Brandon Jacobs, even before Jacobs was let go after the 2011

He spent a lot of time injured, however, including foot problems in 2012.
