LI teen to be honored by Cannon, hang with Timberlake

Leah Stoltz, a 17-year-old senior at Smithtown High School West, had one big surprise this year when actor Nick Cannon showed up at a school pep rally to announce she was one of four teens nationwide who will be honored in the “TeenNick Halo Awards” to be broadcast on Dec. 11.

Stoltz has scoliosis and, when she was 13, she started a support group for other girls who face the same challenge called “The Curvy Girls.”

Cannon handed her tickets for a second surprise – a jaunt to Las Vegas to golf with Justin Timberlake.

“You go through life and something can either be a handicap or it can be the reason you became stronger,” Timberlake said. “Leah uses her obstacle to help other people, she’s like my hero.”

Stoltz was equally floored: “I’m sitting between Justin Timberlake and Nick Cannon, a completely surreal experience that any girl would love.”
