As a missile crisis in North Korea looms, Kim Jong Un’s “friend for life” Dennis Rodman hit a club Monday. The former NBA star partied at a Lower East Side bash for gal pal Cara Quici and her dance track “Fight” hours before Adm. Samuel J. Locklear, the US Pacific commander, cautioned, “major conflict in Korea could have unpredictable . . . and far-reaching impacts.” Rodman made out with Quici on the red carpet at Dinner on Ludlow, then fist-pumped in a VIP section upstairs at DL rooftop in a sequined shirt. He refused to speak to us, perhaps busily hatching a cease-fire for Pyongyang. But Quici said of Rodman, “He’s a partier! I love it,” and “His lips are very soft.” Seems his diplomacy is all lip service, too.

As a pre-teen Cara attended International Modeling and Talent Association (IMTA) Convention in Hollywood, California with her Texas Agency, Infinity Model and Talent Agency.

After recording over 30 songs with the industry’s top producers and writers in Los Angeles, New York, and Miami combined, Cara then released her first single to the public entitled “Away From You” which was also co-written by the singer herself.
