3 things you need to know ACCUSED ‘FAKE-NEWS’ PIZZERIA GUNMAN FACES FEDERAL CHARGE

1

Federal prosecutors on Tuesday filed a gun charge against a North Carolina man suspected of shooting a rifle inside a Washington pizzeria that fake news stories posted online claimed was a front for a child sex ring. The man, Edgar Maddison Welch, 28, is expected to appear later in the day for an initial hearing in U.S. District Court over the Dec. 4 incident at the Comet Ping Pong restaurant, the U.S. Attorney’s office said. The charge of interstate transportation of a firearm with intent to commit an offense carries a maximum prison sentence of 10 years. It supersedes assault and gun charges brought against the Durham, North Carolina, man in District of Columbia Superior Court, which prosecutors dropped on Tuesday. REUTERS

DUTERTE SAYS HE MAY NOT ‘BE AROUND’ TILL END OF TERM

3

Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte said that he might not “be around” until the end of his term, and that, after winning the presidency at 71, he had found out late in the day that “I don’t need it at my age.” The previous day he had told a gathering of business leaders in the Philippines that he suffered from back pains, migraines and Buerger’s disease, a cause of blockages in the blood vessels, associated with smoking during his youth. On Tuesday, Duterte told a cheering crowd of a few thousand expatriate Filipinos in the Cambodian capital Phnom Penh: “I am old ... This is my last hurrah — after this, 77 — I am not sure if I will still be around by the end of my term.” Duterte, who will be 77 at the end of his six-year term in 2022, is the oldest person to be elected president in the Philippines since the post-war period.

SCOOT

Scooter-shares could be New York’s next CitiBike Scoot, the world’s first scooter-share program, has 600 electric mopeds roaming San Francisco.

AMANDA MIKELBERG @MetroNewYork

Transportation alternatives to the L train when the subway line is suspended for renovation in 2019 are getting sexy. As city agencies scramble to come up with alternatives for the 250,000 people riding the L train through Manhattan and Brooklyn every day, the think tank at the NYU Rudin Center for Transportation Policy & Management put out “A Scooter Share Primer” on Tuesday. It imagines a New York with open access to mopeds, and becoming a

!

little more like Paris. The primer follows up on the center’s bid for creative solutions made in their “L Train Closure and Mitigation” report published in August. Among the 10 scooter-share companies in the microstudy is Scoot, the world’s first scootershare program, which has 600 electric mopeds roaming San Francisco. Like a hybrid between CitiBike and Car2Go, riders can use an app to locate a scooter nearby, and then either bring it to a charging station or park it wherever they need to when they’re done. Moped sharing in New York City could really be a thing, Scoot CEO Michael Keating told Metro. “We think it would be great in New York because it’s a multimodal city,” he explained, adding that New York’s ter-

rain and New Yorkers themselves are amenable to novel transportation options. The San Francisco business model is cheap — with a 30-minute ride that costs only $3 and each additional minute only 10 cents. Scoot is the only scooter-share operating in the U.S. The scooters are also environmentally healthy because they run on a rechargeable battery. “It’s the most energy efficient motor vehicle in the world. The more electric scooters and vehicles, the cleaner the air, the safer and quieter the streets,” Keating said. Sarah Kaufman, assistant director at the NYU Rudin Center which helped assemble the scooter primer, said that she believes New York lawmakers would be accepting of a scootershare concept.

“I think there could be some real appeal here, especially with the shutdown of the L train,” she told Metro. “It would limit the amount of car congestion and pollution that would be added to the city because of commuters taking car service and private cars.” Not everyone is thrilled by the prospect of scooters in the city. “Fanciful solutions are a distraction from the actual problem. I mean why not kayaks? Why not hot air balloons?” Mary Richardson at the Transit Center for transportation solutions said. “We have the ability to bolster actual transit, and push for things like more room for bike and bus only lanes. We are really trying to steer the solution toward viable and sustainable solutions,” she said.

When MTA released an updated subway map showing the new Second Avenue subway line, we started wondering, “What color is that?” Take a look at the line on our Metro poll at metro.us/t-color and see whether you can identify the color and whether you agree with what the MTA calls it.

Support swells for ‘right to counsel’ for low-income New Yorkers facing eviction Intro 214-A is the most popular bill at City Hall. AMANDA MIKELBERG @MetroNewYork

amanda.mikelberg@metro.us

Legislators and activists petitioned Mayor Bill de Blasio at City Hall on Tuesday to give lowincome New Yorkers the right to an attorney when facing unjust evictions in housing court. In 2015, de Blasio enacted a plan to support New Yorkers facing unfair evictions, one initiative of many to reduce homelessness and its exorbitant costs to the city. Since he took office, money spent on eviction prevention increased tenfold to around $67 million — and evictions fell 24 percent. The major changes to the current program would make it law that low-income New Yorkers are entitled to representation in court, similar to one’s right to counsel in criminal court. It also would increase the eligibility

threshold from 125 percent above the poverty line to 200 percent, the equivalent of $48,000 for a family of four. The bill is the most popular piece of legislation facing City Hall right now, with 42 sponsors.

City Council Member Mark Levine, the main author of the bill, joined 6,763 others in signing a letter to the mayor that highlights the critical need for measure. “New York City is losing its affordable housing stock at a rate faster

than we can build,” the letter read. “It costs the city $36,000 a year for a shelter bed, and about $250,000 to build an affordable unit. There are many costs we can’t calculate, like days lost from school, days lost from

Congress members seek posthumous presidential pardon for Marcus Garvey Rep. Yvette Clarke of Brooklyn is leading a group of 18 Congress members who are asking President Barack Obama to posthumously pardon Marcus Garvey for his 1923 fraud conviction. “The passage of time has confirmed his place in history but has not removed the stain of injustice from his legacy,” Clarke wrote in a Dec. 9 letter to the president. Seventeen other House members signed the letter, including New York congressmen Charles Rangel, Gregory Meeks and Hakeem Jeffries, and others from Georgia, California, Michigan and Washington, D.C. The Jamaican-born Garvey ran his Universal Negro Improvement Asso-

ciation and African Communities League in New York for several years and played a large role in the Harlem Renaissance following World War I, with such other leaders as W.E.B. Du Bois. Garvey’s Black Star Line shipping corporation

was a proponent of the Back-to-Africa movement and became the subject of an FBI investigation that eventually charged Garvey with mail fraud in connection with the company’s stock sales. Garvey was sentenced to five years in prison in

1923, and served two years before President Calvin Coolidge commuted his sentence. Garvey was subsequently deported to Jamaica. “We believe that Marcus Garvey meets the criteria for a posthumous pardon, based on his efforts to secure the rights of people of African descent and the utter lack of merit to the charges on which he was convicted,” Clarke said. Garvey died in 1940 in London. There are several memorials to him in Jamaica, Africa, England, Canada and the U.S., including Marcus Garvey Park in Harlem and Marcus Garvey Boulevard in Bedford Stuyvesant, Brooklyn. NIKKI M.

work, stress and instability for families. Full representation in housing court costs about $2,000 to $3,200 per case. At a time of heightened inequality, the tale of two cities plays out in Housing Court like nowhere else.” “Implementing a full

right to counsel costs about $200 million,” a representative for the Right to Counsel coalition told Metro: “It’s an investment, because it would result in savings — it generates a savings of $300 million, so it pays for itself and generates more money.” Tenants without attorneys are at a big disadvantage when facing landlords who want to vacate a rent-controlled unit in order to charge market rates, the advocates say. And frequently, landlords will simply drop a case if the tenant shows up with representation. “There is no fairness in an eviction proceeding when the landlord has an attorney and the tenant does not, and that sadly is the precise situation faced by the vast majority of tenants today,” Levine said in a statement. “The results of this injustice are predictable: an epidemic of evictions. In 2015 alone, nearly 22,000 New York City families were evicted, with thousands more forced from their homes under duress midway through eviction proceedings.”

DA: 35 alleged Brooklyn gang members indicted on multiple charges A yearlong investigation into gang activity in the Brownsville section of Brooklyn has led to the arrest of 35 alleged gang members, acting Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez announced Tuesday. Among the charges are distributing narcotics, financial crimes, burglaries and weapons possession. “By targeting known gang members responsible for violence in our streets, we have exposed and interrupted a number of in-

terconnected criminal enterprises, from drug dealing to credit card forgeries,” Gonzalez said in a statement. The investigation began in fall 2015. The 35 defendants, who were arraigned last week and Monday, have ties to the Hoodstarz gang and related crews that include Folk Nation and 823 Crips, Gonzalez said. “For those from Brownsville, this is the end of Hoodstarz’s violence, identity theft, bogus rental cars and drug dealing that permeated the streets,” NYPD Commissioner James O’Neill said.

Mike Pence look-alike raises money for LGBT charities in Times Square New York City’s Times Square has long been famous for its neon advertising, giant billboards and characters dressed up as anything from Mickey Mouse to the Statue of Liberty. But in the past couple of weeks a look-alike of Vice President-elect Mike Pence has been attracting the attention of passersby in one of the busiest areas. New Yorker Glenn Pannell has been using his striking resemblance to Pence to ask for donations for causes including lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) rights — in a show of opposition to the politician’s conservative track record against gay rights and abortion. Dressed in a red-striped tie, shirt and dark blue blazer on top and nothing but short shorts below, Pannell has dubbed his alter-ego “Mike HotPence�. The openly gay graphic designer said he has collected some $2,300 over the last two weekends

while staging his one-man protest. “The charities that I am choosing to raise money for have definitely been based on Pence’s track record,â€? Pannell, 51, told the Thomson Reuters Foundation. “Those charities will really need a lot of help (with Pence as vice president) ‌ and so I am hitting back now with Mike Hot-Pence.â€? Recipients of the funds have included the Trevor Project, a nationwide suicide prevention hotline for LGBT youth, as well as women’s health care provider Planned Parenthood. Many LGBT rights activ-

ists are wary of Pence’s years of opposition to gay rights, including as governor of Indiana. And as a vocal abortion opponent, Pence has pushed for Congress to stop funding Planned Parenthood, which performs some abortions. Friends first noticed Pannell’s resemblance to Pence last summer, a coincidence that became cause for laughter with the campaign for the U.S. presidency then in full swing, he said. “And then the election happened and laughing stopped.� Pannell said the results of the Nov. 8 presidential election, which Republican Donald Trump won with Pence as his running mate, spurred him into action. “After a few weeks of seeing ... the despair and the disillusion among my friends, I really felt like I needed to do something,� said Pannell, who has also set up a website for donations.

This year marks the 7th anniversary of the toy drive, which was renamed in memory of the man who oversaw the project for more than four years, Tony Metcalf, Metro’s longest-running editor in chief. Mr. Metcalf passed away

in 2013 from colon cancer at the age of 50. Mr. Metcalf lit up every year as he saw the faces of children unwrap their holiday gifts. It is our goal to keep that magic alive. Metro has created a wish list at the Target website that readers can access by going to Metro.us and clicking on the Tony’s Metro Magic story on the homepage. From there, just choose the toys you wish to donate, pay

online using Target’s secure payment system, and your gifts, along with your name attached, will be delivered to Metro’s offices in each city. This season, we hope you will remember the children who will spend the holidays in shelters or who may not have gifts to open. Even one small gift can make a big difference in a child’s holiday season. It’s good to receive a gift. It’s better to give one. METRO

“It’s very well known that he [Tillerson] has a very close relationship with [Russian President] Vladimir Putin.� John McCain

Rex Tillerson addresses a keynote speech during the World Gas Conference in Paris on June 2, 2015. GETTY IMAGES

Republican foreign policy hawks in the Senate are likely to give Rex Tillerson a rough time at a confirmation hearing. Donald Trump named the head of Exxon Mobil Corp, Rex Tillerson, as his choice for U.S. secretary of state on Tuesday and won backing from some Republican foreign policy figures ahead of a possible Senate fight over the oilman’s ties to Russia. The Exxon CEO potentially faces difficulties getting confirmed in the Republican-controlled Senate. Some lawmakers worry about his links to Moscow and opposition to U.S. sanctions on Russia, which awarded him a friendship medal in 2013. But several Republican establishment figures, including former secretaries of state James Baker and Condoleezza Rice, and former Defense Secretary Robert Gates vouched for Tillerson, 64, who has spent more than 40 years at the oil company. Rice and Gates, who have worked for Exxon as consultants, both issued statements of support on Tuesday. Their backing could

be crucial for Tillerson receiving the approval he needs in the Senate, where Republicans will have a slim majority when Trump takes office on Jan 20. â€œThe fact that Condi Rice, James Baker and Bob Gates are recommending Tillerson carries considerable weight,â€? said Senator Jeff Flake, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. By choosing Tillerson, Trump adds another person to his Cabinet and circle of advisers who may favor a soft line toward Moscow, which is under U.S. sanctions for its 2014 annexation of Crimea and at the center of allegations that it launched cyber attacks to disrupt the U.S. presidential election. Tillerson has foreign experience from years of cutting deals with foreign countries for his company, the world’s largest energy firm. In 2012, Tillerson signed a deal with Russian state oil giant Rosneft to jointly develop oil fields in western Siberia. Republicans will have a majority of just 52-48 in the Senate, and only a few defections from their ranks would block Tillerson if every Democrat also opposed him. REUTERS

Newspaper: More votes than voters in many Detroit precincts Numerous voting machines in heavily Democratic Detroit showed a greater number of ballots than poll workers records said were cast in the Nov. 8 presidential election, the Detroit News reported on Tuesday. About 37 percent of precincts in Wayne County, Michigan, where Detroit is located, showed such discrepancies, the newspaper reported, citing records prepared at its request by the county. Voting irregularities in Detroit have prompted the state to audit

the election results in the city, the newspaper said. Michigan was one of three rust belt states in which the campaign of Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein requested a recount of the presidential election. Those efforts came to an end in Michigan on Friday when the Michigan Supreme Court refused to review an appeal of a lower court order barring a recount. On Monday, all three efforts were suspended after weeks of legal wrangling yielded a

recount in Wisconsin only, and it favored Republican winner Donald Trump. A federal judge in Pennsylvania rejected Stein’s request for a recount and an examination of that state’s voting machines for evidence of hacking in the election. Meanwhile, Wisconsin election officials said on Monday they had completed a 10-day recount that found Trump’s margin of victory over Democrat Hillary Clinton had increased by 131 votes. REUTERS

Trump picks former Texas Gov. Perry as energy secretary Perry, who also briefly ran in the 2016 presidential race, would have to be confirmed by the Senate to head the Energy Department.

Donald Trump has chosen former Texas Gov. Rick Perry to head the U.S. Department of Energy, a source close to the president-elect said, putting him in charge of

an agency he proposed eliminating during his bid for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination. The choice of Perry adds to the list of oil-drilling advocates skeptical about climate change who Trump has picked for senior positions in his Cabinet, worrying environmentalists but cheering an industry eager for expansion. The department is responsible for U.S. energy policy and oversees the nation’s nuclear weapons program. Perry has advocated lighter regulation on the fossil fuel industry, and has called the science around climate change “unsettled.” Perry’s proposal to get rid of the Energy Department caused what has become known as his “oops” moment during a November 2011 Republican presidential candidate debate when he could not remember all of the three Cabinetlevel departments he wanted to eliminate. After mentioning the departments of Commerce and Education, he said, “I can’t. The third one, I can’t. Sorry. Oops.” A few minutes later in the debate Perry said with a laugh, “By the way that was the Department of Energy I was reaching for a while

ago.” Perry served as governor of Texas, a leading oil-producing state, from 2000 when he succeeded President George W. Bush until 2015. In his unsuccessful presidential runs, he touted his record of job creation in the secondmost-populous state. Perry was a fierce critic of Trump last year before dropping out of the race, calling him “a cancer on conservatism” who offered “a toxic mix of demagoguery and mean-spiritedness and nonsense.” Trump also had harsh things to say about Perry during the campaign, even belittling his eyeglasses by saying, “He put on glasses so people will think he’s smart.” Once Trump secured the nomination, Perry endorsed him as “the people’s choice.” There were indications of a possible rocky handover for the Energy Department after Trump transition officials asked the agency for the names of employees who have worked on climate change issues. Department spokesman Eben Burnham-Snyder said on Tuesday the department will not comply and that the request had “left many in our workforce unsettled.” REUTERS

US Energy Department balks at Trump request for names on climate change Trump said during his election campaign that climate change was a hoax perpetrated by China to damage U.S. manufacturing. He said he would rip up last year’s landmark global climate deal struck in Paris that was signed by President Obama.

The U.S. Energy Department said on Tuesday it will not comply with a request from Presidentelect Donald Trump’s Energy Department transition team for the names of people who have worked on climate change and the professional society memberships of lab workers. The response from the Energy Department

could signal a rocky transition for the president-elect’s energy team and potential friction between the new leadership and the staffers who remain in place. The memo sent to the Energy Department on Tuesday and reviewed by Reuters last week contains 74 questions including a request for a list of all department employees and contractors who attended the annual global climate talks hosted by the United Nations within the last five years. Energy Department spokesman Eben Burnham-Snyder said Tuesday the department will not comply. “Our career workforce, including our contractors and employees at our labs, comprise the backbone of (the Energy Department) and the important work our de-

partment does to benefit the American people,� Burnham-Snyder said. “We are going to respect the professional and scientific integrity and independence of our employees at our labs and across our de-

partment,� he added. “We will be forthcoming with all publicly available information with the transition team. We will not be providing any individual names to the transition team.� He added that the re-

quest “left many in our workforce unsettled.� Reuters reported late Monday that former Texas Gov. Rick Perry is expected to be named by Trump to run the Energy Department. The agency employs more than 90,000 people working on nuclear weapons maintenance and research labs, nuclear energy, advanced renewable energy, batteries and climate science. The memo sought a list of all department employees or contractors who have attended any meetings on the social cost of carbon, a measurement that federal agencies use to weigh the costs and benefits of new energy and environment regulations. It also asked for all publications written by employees at the department’s 17 national laboratories for the past three years.

BRIEF J.K. Rowling illustrated manuscript sells for $467,000 at auction A rare book hand-written and illustrated by “Harry Potter” author J.K. Rowling sold for $467,000 at auction in London on Tuesday, at the lower end of its estimated price range. “The Tales of Beedle the Bard” is one of six copies that Rowling made as presents to those who helped bring her magical world of wizards and

witches to life. The copy sold on Tuesday, bound in brown Morocco leather and adorned with silver, was presented to editor Barry Cunningham, who published Rowling’s spellbinding debut, “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone,” and carries a personal dedication from her. The volume of five wizarding fairy tales — left to Hermione Granger by Albus Dumbledore in “Harry Potter and the

Deathly Hallows” — had a price estimate of 300,000-500,000 pounds ($380,000-634,000). Sotheby’s auction house said in a statement that it had been sold for 368,750 pounds ($467,400) to an anonymous telephone bidder. A seventh copy, made for an auction in 2007 to raise money for the author’s charity, Lumos, raised 1.95 million pounds. REUTERS

US proposes vehicles ‘talk’ to each other to avoid crashes

¡Hablamos Español!

Travelers hit the road for the holiday weekend on Nov. 23, 2016 in Chicago, Illinois. GETTY IMAGES

The U.S. Transportation Department on Tuesday proposed requiring all new cars and trucks to be able to “talk” to one another using short-range wireless technology to potentially avoid tens of thousands of crashes annually. Regulators, which first announced plans to pursue requiring the technology in early 2014, are proposing to give automakers at least four years to comply from the time it is finalized and would require automakers to ensure all vehicles “speak the same language through a standard technology.” The administration of President-elect Donald Trump will decide whether to finalize the proposal, which does not apply to larger vehicles like buses and tractor trailers. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) estimates that talking vehicles could eliminate or reduce the severity of up to 80 percent of crashes where alcohol is not a factor, especially crashes at intersections or while changing lanes. Last year, there were 6.3 million vehicle crashes. In October, NHTSA said traffic deaths jumped 10.4 percent in the first six months of 2016. The jump follows a spike in 2015, when road deaths rose 7.2 percent to 35,092, the highest full-year increase since 1966. Talking cars and trucks would use dedicated short range communications to transmit

“From a safety perspective, this is a nobrainer.” U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx

data up to 300 meters, such as location, direction and speed, to nearby vehicles. That data would be updated and broadcast up to 10 times per second to nearby vehicles, which can identify risks and provide warnings to drivers to avoid imminent crashes. NHTSA Administrator Mark Rosekind said vehicles would protect privacy by only exchanging safety information and would ensure hackers can’t intercept signals. The rule would not require vehicles currently on roads to be retrofitted with the technology. Foxx said owners couldn’t turn off the technology but could turn off warnings. The Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers, a trade group representing General Motors Co., Toyota Motor Corp., Volkswagen AG and other major automakers, noted the system is already being tested. The group said it would study the proposal. Automakers are pushing to ensure that a portion of the spectrum reserved for connected vehicles is not used by other companies for other wireless device use. The Federal Communication Commission has begun testing potential sharing options. REUTERS

Ariana Grande drops the L-word

ALL PHOTOS GETTY IMAGES

Kanye West met with Trump On Tuesday morning, Kanye West — whom we all assumed to be nestled away on the West Coast, helping Kim Kardashian take selfies, and still recovering from his recent hospitalization — strolled into Trump Tower in New York City with his new blond hair and a full entourage in tow. He was there for a meeting with Presidentelect Donald Trump.

Kanye was mum on the details when reporters asked what the pair might talk about. But TMZ is reporting Yeezy himself requested the meeting and Trump, being the camera-friendly guy he is, obliged. Without any details on exactly how or why this meeting came to be, we can only speculate. Kanye was booed at his concert for supporting

William H. Macy supports equal pay on ‘Shameless’ William H. Macy’s “Shameless” character, Frank Gallagher, is a scheming addict with an affinity for sex, fraud and self-righteous monologues. He has six children who have learned to survive without him because he’s so unreliable. His oldest daughter Fiona, played by Emmy Rossum, has stepped up as the family matriarch. It’s a thankless job, but someone has to do it. In real life, Rossum is demanding pay equal to Macy’s for being the shows leading lady — Fiona is hardly a lady,

but you get the idea — and Macy supports her. Production for the show’s eighth season is on hold while Rossum insists she be paid more than Macy to make up for the seasons in which she earned significantly less than he did. When TMZ asked Macy about Rossum’s contract dispute, Macy quoted some history on the Equal Rights Amendment and said it was “about time.” Macy insists that Rossum is his equal, “except [he’s] better-looking.” Good one, Frank.

Trump’s bid for president; maybe he wanted to congratulate him in person. Or perhaps Trump wasn’t satisfied with Kanye’s version of his nude body in the video for “Famous” and, looking forward to future projects, Kanye

wanted to get a more accurate mold. Or maybe there was no meeting and the whole thing was just another chance for a buzzy photo op that. Will the circus that is 2016 ever end?

Chrissy Metz’s driver doesn’t think she’s a good actress In a funny case of not recognizing what, or who, is in front of you, a driver in Los Angeles snubbed one of Hollywood’s most promising actresses. Chrissy Metz was getting out of a black SUV in Beverly Hills on Tuesday and told TMZ cameras that she read a line for her driver to get his opinion on her skills. But he wasn’t impressed with her performance. He told her “on that

alone, you wouldn’t get nominated.” Obviously, the driver didn’t recognize Metz as Kate from the hit NBC drama “This Is Us.” He’s also going to kick himself when he realizes that the 36-yearold just snagged her first Golden Globe nomination for the role. If the service sends the same driver to pick Metz up for the ride home, it’s going to be so awkward.

Music videos are usually one of the first things couples in the industry do together. So when we saw Ariana Grande as the leading lady in her boyfriend Mac Miller’s video for “My Favorite Part”... well, it doesn’t mean marriage is on the horizon, but it def solidifies their status as an item.

Things are certainly heating up for Grande and Miller off screen as well. We learned about their relationship in August after the lovebirds were spotted kissing. Since then, they’ve gotten matching tattoos, and after the debut of Miller’s music video, the “Side to Side” songstress declared her love for her beau on Instagram.

Aly Raisman is dating NFL’s Colton Underwood Aly Raisman might be a two-time Olympic gymnast, but she’s still a millennial of the digital age. The 22-year-old lives in a time where her food, transportation and even a new boyfriend are all supplied as a result of tapping her phone. Case in point: On Tuesday, Raisman confirmed with People that she has been dating NFL tight end Colton Underwood since August. The cou-

ple made their first public appearance at the Sports Illustrated Sportsperson of the Year Ceremony at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn on Monday. Raisman saw Underwood for the first time in a video he recorded for Yahoo congratulating her and Team USA for their Olympic medals. He casually asked her out, and she took to Twitter to accept. Welcome to dating in the age of the internet. The web is a portal of infinite possibilities, but it really goes “down in the DM.”

Diego Luna goes to a galaxy far, far away The actor talks “Rogue One� and how “Star Wars� was the first movie he wanted to see. MATT PRIGGE @mattprigge

matt.prigge@metro.us

Diego Luna has no less than second billing in a “Star Wars� movie. It’s an unlikely turn for an actor, 36, best known for small, intimate films, like “Y Tu Mama Tambien.� “Rogue One,� a spin-off/ prequel, tells the story of the rebels who stole the plans for the first Death Star, leading directly into the events of the first film. Luna plays Cassian Andor, a member of the team, also including Felicity Jones’ Jyn Erso, tasked with the big caper. Luna talks to us about making a “Star Wars� movie that doesn’t look like the others and what it’s like to finally have a Diego Luna action figure.

You can tell, even by looking at the previews, that “Rogue Oneâ€? is very dierent from the others. It’s very different. That was the premise. They said, “You guys are expected to do something very different.â€? That’s the only way I can understand why I’m here. [Laughs] Gareth [Edwards, director] really wanted a group of actors whose work is mostly on smaller films, more intimate and realistic films. He wanted to bring that texture into this “Star Warsâ€? world. Yes, we’ll have big stuff, we’ll have the battles. But then we have a chance to be with the characters up close, in an intimate and realistic way. For our generation, the ďŹ rst three “Star Warsâ€? ďŹ lms are some of our ďŹ rst movie moments. “Return of the Jediâ€? is the ďŹ rst ďŹ lm I remember watching in a movie theater. [“Star Warsâ€? is] the first film I remember watching because I wanted to

aware that there was an actor behind that mask. I could be a little cynical about it. But I really liked him. I really liked the Dark Side. Did you have a lot of the “Star Wars� toys? Not a lot. It was tough in Mexico to get them. You had to go to the toy store, put your name in for it, then wait months for the call. And back then they didn’t expect these films to be this big. Today the toys come out two months before the film. Back then it was different. First you engaged with the film, then there was a need for the toys. And they would run out of them, because they weren’t expecting this huge success.

watch it. Before it was films my parents wanted me to watch. My father needed two hours of silence at home, so he had me watch “Dumbo� or “Bambi.� With “Star Wars,� it was, “I want to see this film. Enough of cartoons. I want to see real actors. I want to be a Jedi.� I guess I’m the luckiest fan in the world, because I got to play with

the real toys. Which was your favorite character as a kid? Always Darth Vader. Darth Vader was impossible to get out of my head. The sound of his breathing was part of most of my nightmares. My father is a set designer and my mother was a costume designer, so I was pretty

Queen Latifah says if you do anything for fame, you become anything Queen Latifah plays Carlotta in the new Lee Daniels show, “Star,” premiering tonight on FOX. TOMMY GARCIA/FOX

The rapper, producer and actress stars in the new Fox show “Star.” JENNIFER LOGUE @jenniferlogue

jennifer.logue@metro.us

The new Lee Daniels show “Star” follows the rise of three young singers from obscurity to the top of the charts. One of its cast members, Queen Latifah, relates personally to the struggle. The rapper, music producer and actress plays Carlotta in the series: a washed-up singer who

exchanges tracks for cutting hair and finds herself as a surrogate mother of sorts to the young girl group. We got to chat with Latifah on set about the dark side of the entertainment industry, taking a chance on your dreams and the pursuit of fame versus the pursuit of craft. What attracted you to the role? I was attracted to it way before there was a script; Lee Daniels and I had conversations about the concept of the show over the years. He would

add more and take parts away. We’d talk every six months or so. Finally he was ready and showed me this 13-page treatment and I was like, “Wow. This is juicy. Let’s go for it.” Where did you draw inspiration from for Carlotta’s character? A part of her is people that Lee and I both know. I grew up in East Orange, he grew up in Philly — you know these places, you know these houses, you know these women, you know these salons. Having been in the music

business, I know what it’s like to have a hit, to deal with shady people and have friends that get caught up in drugs, and lose friends along the way. We had similar lives in certain ways and know these characters. We know who Carlotta is. The rest is things that Lee sees in his mind in terms of where she is going, and I step into his brain for the rest of it. I’m in her shoes a lot quicker now than on day one. Initially I relied on him a lot to have that clear vision of who he saw her as.

Is there such a thing as going too far? I’ve seen very ambitious people make really bad decisions because they wanted to get on so bad and they were willing to do anything. And you can’t just do anything, because you become anything, and people will treat you like anything.

Can you relate to the girls in the show? I definitely faced my own challenges. Just trying to get a record deal [was hard]. I know what it’s like to be hungry, beat the pavement. My boy spent his rent money to put me and one of my other boys in the studio to make a demo — somebody

didn’t get paid that month for us to make this music. [Laughs] Of course, when I got a deal I paid him back plenty. But this was all about taking chances on yourself and your dream. But you never know. It’s a chance you take and it’s more important in you believing in that dream for yourself.

In the show, I see this recurrent theme of pursuit of fame versus pursuit of craft. What are your thoughts on that? Some people really want to be famous and want all the things that they think comes with fame. They see a glamorous life, money, riches, cars, drugs, alcohol — all of that. Some people see music, the creativity of it — creating something that makes them feel good inside and sharing that with the world. That’s what’s important. Sometimes it’s a mixture of both. I think there’s a way to take the craft of music and build a business model around it that helps transport it to the world. If you are successful with your craft, then the fame is a byproduct of it. It comes automatically. People always say, “That’s the price you pay for fame,â€? but I never set out to be famous. I set out to make music. The fame came with it. â€œStarâ€? will debut on Fox Wednesday, Dec. 14 at 9 p.m. after the fall finale of “Empire.â€?Â

After the jaunt, save some time for food and drink because the neighborhood is home to noted dining destinations. Clustered on two blocks at Second Avenue in the lower 80s are The Gilroy, which Zagat calls a “sexy cocktail bar” specializing in Negronis; at Meijin Ramen, dishes come in varieties including Spicy Chili that make sure you’ll never confuse them for the college-dorm staple; and The Penrose, described by Zagat as a “hipster-chic gastropub” known for craft cocktails and weekend brunch. East of Second Avenue on

Come the new year, Upper East Siders are due for a more-convenient and less-crowded subway when the long-promised Second Avenue line commences service. Other New Yorkers might wonder, however, “What’s in the $4.5 billion project for me?” One answer is the chance to play tourist in their own city. The Second Avenue subway will open up a once-distant and relatively unvisited section of New York — the “Far Upper East Side.” Among the attractions are a string of waterfront parks, several historic buildings, numerous cultural offerings and a raft of restaurants.

The Far Upper East Side is not as architecture-rich as other Manhattan nabes. Its tenements and industry structures have given way to newer residential digs. Still, among the vanished were two of NYC’s top beer makers: Jacob Ruppert Brewing Company and Hell Gate Brewery. For an abrupt transition from breweries to the blessed, there’s the Church of the Holy Trinity on 88th Street between First and Second avenues. It includes a

150-foot tower in French Renaissance style, considered one of the best in New York. The six-story Cherokee apartments between East 77th and 78th streets on Cherokee Place were model housing for poor tuberculosis patients in 1912. The complex’s courtyards and ironrailed balconies help it stand out as a light-filled co-op now. The 24 Queen Anne-style townhouses of the Henderson Place Historic District would be

architectural gems in any part of the city. Built in 1881 as housing for people of modest means, the homes between 86th and 87th streets off East End Avenue rent and sell for ceiling-busting prices. El Barrio’s Artspace PS109 is a live-work space for artists and their families carved from an 1898 five-story school building on 99th Street off Second Avenue. It contains 89 units of affordable housing and 10,000 square feet for arts organizations.

In a city perpetually short on open space, access to more is always welcome. Some of these parks could even become true destinations.

The futuristic-looking building, in the shape of a parabola, once produced blacktop for city

HIGH ON POWELL, HILL, SOUND ALARM ON INGRAM OPINION

BILL DUBIEL

Sleepers of the week Each week we will identify three players worth taking a shot on in deeper leagues.

Are you still alive in the playoffs? Be sure to check out Rotoballer.com’s Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Tool for up-to-thehour waiver wire advice and ideas, and to follow me @Roto_Dubs for quick-hitting news and analysis.

Bet on Bilal

Bilal Powell has been a good bet to find the end zone recently.

Once Matt Forte exited the Jets’ Week 14 win over the 49ers, Bilal Powell absolutely took over. The dynamic running back exploded for 145 yards and two touchdowns on 29 carries, and chipped in 34 yards on five receptions. It was revealed after the game that Matt Forte would be going for an MRI to discover if there is any damage in his knee, and if he’s inactive you can bet on Powell to answer the call. With Forte out he’s an RB2, and even if Forte suits up he’ll likely be limited, keeping Powell in the flex conversation.

Tyreek the freak

No Max, no Mark

Jeremy Maclin is no more. All-purpose weapon Tyreek Hill is the new top dog on perhaps the least-talked about playoff team. Hill has been producing in all aspects of the offense and special teams, posting 20 catches and two touchdowns over his last three weeks while adding in a rushing touchdown and a punt return touchdown. With that kind of scoring potential in three different facets of the game, Hill is a must-start in the fantasy playoffs.

Mark Ingram has now sputtered in three of his last four games, and has been particularly dreadful in his last two. He was without Pro Bowl center Max Unger in Week 14, and it showed — he gained just 23 total yards on nine touches, including a miserable 7-14-0 rushing line. His incompetence brought the return of his timeshare with Tim Hightower, who outgained Ingram with two fewer touches. With so much uncertainty in the mix and the Saints offense sputtering,

Cameron Brate, TE, Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Brate has at least four catches and five targets in five of his last six games, and is the clear second option behind Mike Evans. He’ll have his opportunities against the Cowboys. Kenneth Dixon, RB, Baltimore Ravens – The committee has officially shifted — Dixon is the top dog in Baltimore’s backfield. He’s a low-end RB2 in Week 15. Robby Anderson, WR, New York Jets – For whatever reason, Anderson is rookie QB Bryce Petty’s favorite target. With 23 targets in his last two games, Anderson’s volume makes him flex-worthy in deeper leagues.

it’s impossible to trust Ingram in a matchup with the Arizona Cardinals in Week 15.

NFL power ranks | by Luke Miller No. 1

No. 4

Patriots (11-2)

Raiders (10-3)

The Patriots offense exploded against the No. 1 defense in the NFL and dropping 500 yards in a win against the Ravens Monday night. LeGarrette Blount is fifth in the league in rushing yards (1,029) and leads the league with 14 TDs.

In two games against the Chiefs, the NFL’s 24th ranked offense, the Raiders have been outscored 47-23 and outvictoried 2-0. Pretty sad showing for the sixth ranked offense in the league. But this really shouldn’t take the shine off the Raiders season.

No. 2

No. 5

Chiefs (10-3)

Lions (9-4)

After two victories against the Raiders and a 4-0 record in the AFC West, there’s no question about who the cream of the division is. It’s not a safe perch, but they can set their eyes on home field advantage if the Pats slip up.

Seems like Detroit didn’t like the idea of winning comfortably, as they got back in the comfortable groove of trailing in the fourth quarter this week. Detroit will face our No. 6 team in New York Sunday.

No. 3

No. 6

Cowboys (11-2)

Giants (9-4)

Is it concerning or promising that Dallas’ defense has been outplaying their offense? Hopefully they can avoid a matchup with the Giants in the playoffs, but the offense won’t face an easy defense the rest of the way.

There’s no time for New York to feel good about their bragging rights over the Cowboys after a second win against them this season: They have a potential playoff preview but an inside track — for now — on a wild card spot.

Are you worried about your own memory or the memory of a loved one? Is there a history of Dementia or Alzheimer’s Disease in your family? This is a research study for individuals age 55-95 with memory complaints to see if one’s sense of smell can predict response to memory treatment.

If eligible, participants receive: Medical evaluation 1 year of treatment for memory deficits Memory/cognitive performance monitoring by experts Sense of smell testing Monetary compensation

If interested, please call (646) 774-7204 or (646) 774-7202 The study is conducted at New York State Psychiatric Institute/Columbia University Medical Center and is funded by a research grant from the National Institute of Health.

DO YOU HAVE TYPE 2 DIABETES? ARE YOU LOOKING TO MAKE A FRESH START IN THE NEW YEAR? The NIH-funded Health Hearts and Kidneys Study is evaluating different approaches to helping people with Type 2 Diabetes make lifestyle changes to protect their hearts and kidneys. Compensation for time and effort is available. For more information, contact NYU School of Medicine at (646)501-2585 or email us at HHK@nyumc.org.

Legal Notice

NOTICE OF CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT HEARING METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART ADMISSIONS CLAIM This Notice is to inform all persons who purchased either admission to the Metropolitan Museum of Art (the “Museum�) or a membership in the Museum on or after March 5, 2007 of a proposed Settlement of a class action brought against the Museum on your behalf in the Supreme Court of the State of New York.

27 New York Wednesday, December 14, 2016

The lawsuit alleges that the Museum’s disclosures of its current admission fee policy violate consumer protection laws by not adequately disclosing to visitors that they may enter the Museum upon payment of an amount of their choice (“pay what you wish�). The Museum denies those allegations. The parties have agreed to a proposed settlement under which the Museum, without any concession, finding of wrongdoing, or agreement regarding the adequacy or inadequacy of the current disclosures, will revise its signs, website, and other disclosures of its “pay what you wish� admission fee policy. No money will be paid to class members, and no adjudication of any claims for money damages they may have will occur. The Court will hold a hearing on approval of the Settlement at 10:00 a.m. on March 14, 2017, in Courtroom 228, 60 Centre Street, New York, NY 10007. Any class member may present objections he or she has to the Settlement. You may learn more about the Settlement and procedures for objecting to it at www.metfees.com., or by calling Class Counsel at (212) 763-5068. PLEASE DO NOT CONTACT THE COURT.

Virgo Call in favors to clear up pressing matters before the year ends. A partnership looks promising, and discussions regarding how to move forward are encouraged.
