STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- The borough's Twitter queen, 80-year-old
Josephine Lamberti, has reached 80,000 followers on the popular social
networking site. Last time we heard from the Prince's Bay grandmother --
better known as @J_Dimps on Twitter -- she was stuck on 74,000 followers.
"I'm so excited that I achieved my goal, and this proves no matter who you are, anything is possible if you believe," said Mrs. Lamberti, before adding: "I'm not going to stop now ... it's time to go for a million!!!"
She has plans for some new YouTube videos,
which she says will feature some of the celebrities she has connected with, including Missy Elliott and Rihanna. Last week, she attended "Saturday Night Live" as a guest of Rihanna, who performed on the show.
