About Jill Nicolini

Jill Nicolini (born 1978) is a native of Long Island, New York. The model, actress and reality TV show participant joined WPIX-TV as a traffic reporter for the WB11 Morning News in April 2004 (now called the CW11 Morning News as of September 18, 2006).

Before becoming the WB11's morning traffic reporter, Nicolini made her living as a model. She tried out unsuccessfully to become the official live action model for Vampirella in 2001. She had bit parts in four feature films and six TV shows, including HBO's Sex and the City and NBC's Law & Order.

At the age of 24, Nicolini won the title of Miss Long Island 2002. When the contest organizers discovered that she had posed for Playboy (under the name "Jill Nikki" in their Fall 2001 College Girls Special Edition), not only did she have to relinquish her crown, she was also rendered ineligible to compete in the Miss New York pageant.
