    The only ethnik group, who may leave USSR/ east block were
    jews. If her father was “Belarusian”, he should to emigrate
    before 1917. Pretty old father!

    “She would be ashamed”. Nobody, besides of you regards
    Stallone as “jewish”. Moreover, american and european people
    had no idea about a tiny part of his jewish ancestry, before
    your boulevard mass-media from former USSR began to spreada LIE about “jewish mother” (they just ignore the fact, thather mother was gentile and christ and her father was atheist)
    But we are speaking about J.Dickenson. With your brilliant
    logic you claim “dickenson is an irish name”, and them “her
    father is belarus”. Irish people in Belarus? LOL. So, his name
    is fake. You can’t claim, he’s not jewish, since you don’t know
    his REAL NAME

    Do you know, what’s is “white Russia”? It’s a SLAVIC country. Can
    DickenSON be a slavic name? In Europe (expect of England and
    Sweden names with “son” are always JEWISH names. Her father
    is 100% jew, her mother maybe polish or jewish too. Ridiculous,
    that persons with 1% jewish blood are called “jews”, and pure jews
    as non-jews

      Her father’s family changed their surname to Dickinson when they emigrated from Belarus in order to avoid discrimination. You can look that up for yourself. Her mother, Jenie Pietrzykoski, was Polish and an immigrant as well.

      I have no problem with Jewish people, but Janice is not Jewish.

      By the way, Dickinson is an English and Scottish surname.

      http://www.surnamedb.com/Surname/Dickinson

      It is not Jewish and has no connection to Eastern Ashkenazic people.

      Janice’s background is well documented, considering she is the offspring of two first generation European immigrants. You should look into it for yourself.

      You have already proven to be ignorant. In another post, you admitted that you have never been to Russia, Belarus, Poland, the Ukraine, or any country in Eastern Europe. You said everyone there was blonde simply because you saw blonde Russians on your television screen.

      Thank you for displaying what an uneducated P.O.S. you are! You say you know who is Jewish and who is not, but you did not even know Dickinson was a common English surname.

      Whatever.

      • nnnnn says:

        Ha-ha, I’m proven to be ignorant?Where? YOU wrote:
        “Stallone has a jewish mother”. A person, who has
        a french-breton catholic mother is jewish? You have
        problems with logic, too. Janice: catholic polish mother,
        father “Belarus” Dickinson – alledgerly non-jewish.
        Jaquline: catholic french mother, father “ukrainean” Labofish –
        alledgerly jewish. Explain this “fenomenon”, please

      “DickenSON be a slavic name? In Europe (expect of England and
      Sweden names with “son” are always JEWISH names.”

      Dickinson is not a Slavic surname. It is a Scottish and English surname.

      Your assertion that all surnames with the suffix “son” are Jewish is incorrect. Most of them are Swedish. The rest of them are Northern English and Scottish. There are hardly any Jewish names with that suffix, and Dickinson in particular is of Scottish and Northern English origin. If you had done your research, you would know this. You speak as if you know a lot when you know nothing.

      ” Her father
      is 100% jew”

      No. He is not. Could he have a bit of Jewish ancestry? Sure. Why not? But as far as Janice knows, neither of her parents are Jewish by ethnicity nor religion. That is why she does not claim Jewish heritage, and she would have no problem doing such a thing if she did actually have it. Her best friend was Jewish.

      You declare Janice’s father is 100% Jewish without any sources. Provide them instead of basing this off of his adopted surname . . . which is not even Jewish.

      “her mother maybe polish or jewish too.”

      Her mother, Jenie Pietrzykoski, is Polish. She is not Jewish either.

      ” Ridiculous,
      that persons with 1% jewish blood are called “jews”, and pure jews
      as non-jews”

      When did this happen? There are plenty of Jewish people who are celebrities. They are usually proud of their heritage, and I believe Jewish was the fourth or fifth highest reported ethnicity on this site. It was next to Italian, German, Irish, and English. There is nothing wrong with being Jewish, but Janice Dickinson is not.

      You are only saying that she is Jewish because she has dark features, but all sources say that she is not, and there is not a single one that suggests her parents were Jewish.

      You also denied Mel Gibson’s girlfriend, Oksana Grigorieva, was Russian because of her dark features. You proclaimed she was Jewish as well because she was not blonde. In the same breath, you admitted to never having been to Russia, the Ukraine, Poland, Belarus, Romania, or any Eastern European countries.

      Janice herself attributes her dark features to her Polish mother. She looks a lot like her. So even if her father were Jewish, which he is not, that is not where her “exotic” looks come from.

      http://i1177.photobucket.com/albums/x342/christina_dolphin/candid072.jpg

      Will you deny Olga Kurylenko and Irina Zhuravskaya are Ukrainian because of their dark features? What about Marika Dominczyk? Will you deny she is Polish because of her dark features, too?

      Anyway, none of this matters.

      All you have to do is give a credible source that states Janice Doreen Dickinson is Jewish, and it will be added to her ethnicity immediately.

      But I know that you cannot simply because Janice is not Jewish.

    I recently read her book, and she was quite the character. It is sad, though, that her father was a pedophile, and abused her and her two sisters, Debbie and Alexis.

    Janice was very exotic when she was young.

    It is such a shame that she messed her pretty face up.

    • Dasher says:

      You really cannot tell someone’s ethnicity by simply looking at them. She looks part Asian!

      • Anya says:

        No, she doesn’t at all. She looks like a normal Eastern European. Please visit Poland, Ukraine, Romania, Bulgaria, Serbia, Russia and then tell me what you think because a lot of people look like her and are a 100% Slavic and a 100% European.

        • nnnnn says:

          White Russia is not Bulgaria or Romania. They are NORTH
          Slavic.Opposit to some other east europeans they were
          never raped by turks or tatars. I saw them in TV – the
          blondest people in the world, with blue eyes. Come, she’s
          at least 1/2 jewish, because Dickenson can’t be a slavic name, am I right, you expert for East Europe? maybe her mother is jew, too

          • levangelista36 says:

            Janice Dickinson’s father, Ray Dickinson, emigrated from Belarus. However, his family changed their last name to Dickinson, much like Natalie Wood’s family changed their name from Zakharenko. Dickinson is an English surname. Her mother, Jenie Pietrzykoski, is first generation Polish. Janice is not half Jewish but Belarusian and Polish.

            She’s not Russian.

          • levangelista36 says:

            Dickinson is English surname. Janice is Polish and Belarusian, NOT RUSSIAN. Her dad’s family changed their name to Dickinson when they emigrated from Belarus. Her mom is Jenie Pietrzykoski, and she first generation Polish.

          • nnnnn says:

            “Ray Dickenson” is a slavic name? If you claim, he changed his name, PROVE IT PLEASE. Sources? If you
            mean, her mother is polish catholic, PROVE IT PLEASE.
            As european, I know, how north-european people look
            like. Poland and belaruss were never a part of Osmanic
            Empire. And: why you maintain desperate, that she’s not jewish? You can accept, that your idol has a daughter with some Birnbaum

            I have no problem with someone being Jewish. I am not bigoted and have nothing against people who have Jewish heritage. If Janice was Jewish, I would not have a problem with this.

            But she is not.

            Dickinson is one of the oldest Anglo-Saxon surnames and has no connection to Jewish people. It is English and Scottish in origin. Or are you claiming that Emily Dickinson was Jewish, too?

            http://www.surnamedb.com/Surname/Dickinson

            Quit using her father’s fake name as evidence that she is Jewish, especially considering that Dickinson is an Anglo-Saxon surname and not by any means Jewish. If you had bother to educate herself, you would realize this.

            Every site states that Janice is of Belarusian and Polish descent. Janice is quoted talking about her “Polish big lips,” her mother being an immigrant, and her ancestry quite often. In her book No Lifeguard on Duty, she goes into further detail about her ancestry and explicitly states that her family is Slavic. Her sisters even attest to the fact that they are of Polish and Belarusian descent. Janice even attributes her features to her Polish mother, who she looks very much alike. She had a Jewish best friend when she was a teenager. She was in love with Sylvester Stallone, who has a Jewish mother and Italian father. If she was Jewish, I doubt she would be ashamed and trying to hide that.

            Now where is your proof that Janice is actually Jewish?

            I want sources, quotes, and genealogy references.

            Marika Dominczyk is Polish.

            Is she too dark for you? Is she unacceptable for your standards?

            Her husband is Jewish, by the way.

            And I don’t care if I get thumbed down for refusing to accept such ignorance.

            “levangelista” Bravo! You proved, that you are
            ignorant liar. With your lie “Stallone has a jewish
            mother” made you all, you wrote, incredible.
            HIS MOTHER IS NOT JEWISH: SHE’S CATHOLIC,
            LIKE HER FRENCH MOTHER, her father had jewish
            ancestry and always denied it, like a good old
            mr.Dickinson. The family had never connections to
            judaism and “jewish life”. Prove facts, before you make youself funny.Surely, you never watsched
            Stallone’s pro-christ, pro-italian,anticommunist movies, how can you believe, he’s half-jewish?
