MENU! Here is Questlove’s Twitter image of the NBC Fried Chicken menu. Questlove’s Twitter NBC Fried Chicken struck early Friday.

Questlove posted the menu from the New York NBC cafeteria. The menu was to celebrate Black History Month.

What’s for lunch at the Peacock? For less than $8, you can have fried chicken, collard greens, corn bread, black eyed peas … if it’s not deleted two hours later!

That is until NBC cancels the menu. Yes, the Peacock can’t get latenight right, so do you expect the menu handling to be any better?

PHOTOS. Here are pictures and reaction to the death of Karen Schmeer. Karen Schmeer, acclaimed documentary editor, is being remembered by people who knew her well online today.

AJ Schnack remembers today Karen’s work with Errol Morris:

“Schmeer worked with Morris on FAST, CHEAP AND OUT OF CONTROL, MR. DEATH and the Oscar-winning FOG OF WAR. She is credited as a co-editor of Morris’ most recent film, STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE. She also edited Robb Moss’ THE SAME RIVER TWICE, Sidney Pollack’s SKETCHES OF FRANK GEHRY and Lucia Small’s MY FATHER, THE GENIUS.”

Matt Dentler remembers meeting Karen in 2007.

“I met Karen Schmeer at SXSW in 2007. She was introduced to me by former co-worker Lya Guerra, who had recruited Karen as a jury member for the SXSW Click competition. I remember when Lya introduced her as “Errol Morris’ editor,” and my first reaction was “No way.” I didn’t believe that someone so friendly and down-to-earth could have such a prestigious and important gig. I couldn’t believe that someone so busy and prolific, would be willing to spend time on our tiny little shorts competition.”

One of three robbers have been arrested from the deadly scene: David McKie of Coral Springs, Florida. Karen was struck at Broadway and W.90th St. 8 pm last night.

Funeral arrangements have not been announced. Karen Schmeer will be greatly missed.

Joe Rollino, arguably the world’s strongest living man of Coney Island fame, was hit by a car still at his prime.

How many informal records Rollino held is unknown.

For swimming, “People told me [Joe Rollino] holds the record for swimming every day for eight years,” said Louis Scarcella of the Coney Island Polar Bear Club.

For hand strength, if Joe Rollino shook your hand, he’d reportedly break it. “If he shook your hand, he’d break it. He wasn’t feeble.”

For finger strength, Rollino said himself “Six hundred thirty-five pounds. See the size of it. At 150 pounds, nobody ever beat me in this world.”

Percy Sutton’s funeral was held today in New York’s Riverside Church.

Percy Sutton’s funeral was attended by Eric Holder, Michael Bloomberg, and thousands of other leaders and friends. Holder called Sutton “one of the nation’s true heroes. I admired, respected and worked for him. The opportunities given to my generation were paid for by his.”

Malcolm X’s daughter Attalah Shabazz called Sutton “brethren”. “Even when things weren’t on his side, he was always on yours. Am I right?”

As profiled previously on LALATE, in later years Sutton was a leader in New York radio with the Inner City Broadcasting Corp., buying the Apollo Theater and relaunching its revival.

Christina Ambers’ is a top hand model. Now Christina Ambers has handed a lawsuit to her building . Angel Rotger, the building’s porter, married Ambers only to be fired and the couple to be allegedly tormented.

Christina Ambers bought a 700 square foot apartment (yes, 700, this is a New York) in 2003 at 340 E 74th Street reports the Daily News Friday. Now she wants $10 million from the building.

Say what?

In 2007, Christina Ambers married the building’s porter Angel Rotger. Then she said he was fired and no one in the building would retrieve her packages for her. And on that subject, Angel allegedly got a contusion in the groin from the super’s wife.

Ambers’ feet have been seen in Oil of Olay and Anne Klein. Next stop - a Manhattan court house.

The building calls the suit without merit.
