Cheryl Ling: Patriots fan blows her top

She calls herself My Rice Girl and there’s no denying she’s a dish, but the mysterious topless Patriots fanatic emerging as an Internet shooting star can now be revealed.

Meet Cheryl Ling - a kind of Lucille Ball meets Toyko Rose, rapping and jiggling beneath dollar-bill pasties in a so-far successful attempt to undermine the confidence of NFL teams that mean to block New England from a fourth Super Bowl championship.

“Being Chinese, being an Asian woman, it’s impossible for people to believe I’m a football fan. I have to prove my fandom,” Ling said in a phone interview from her home in Los Angeles.

Ling, who wrote, produced and starred in the obscure 2003 comedy “Rice Girl” with the late Pat Morita, an Academy Award nominee for “The Karate Kid,” popped up - and occasionally out - online this season, menacing the Colts with a whip and howling at the Browns while dancing with a leopard hand puppet.

Some of Ling’s works have been banned from YouTube for being “inappropriate.”

“I feel like I’m back in Communist China,” she said, laughing.

Ling said her pie-in-the-sky plan to bankroll the feature film farce “Rice Girl,” playing a dim-bulb aspiring porn star, ultimately cost her marriage to Gregory Monk, the Rhode Islander who encouraged her love affair with the Pats.

She turned to the Web to “vent.”

“I don’t think I can fit into the frame of Shakespeare,” she said, critiquing her talent. “I’m a ham. I got a little camcorder for my birthday. The mentality of Hollywood is sex sells, so I got brave and I got topless.”

But make no mistake, her amicable ex assured us, top or no top, Ling is “the real deal.”

“I’ve been a Pats fan since I was 12,” said Monk, also an actor. “I’m a huge fan, but when I started getting her into it, I honestly think I created a monster. She bleeds red, white and blue.”

The Internet, explained Ling, is her “soapbox, such as when people talk down about Randy Moss. Basically, I want (my fans) to think the New England Patriots [team stats] should be the team of America. I want America to adopt them.”

Asked if she’s been recognized yet on the street, Ling quipped, “Yes, at the gym. They say, ‘You owe us dues.’ ”

One thing Ling was quicker to bare than her body is which Patriot she’d cast as her leading man.

“Tom Brady”, she swooned. “I’m not stupid. He’s very good-looking. You know what I’m saying?”.
