Jerseylicious Season 5, Episode 4 recap: “Two Faced to Face”

February 19, 2013 Karen Ruud Comments Off

Welcome back, Jerseylicious fans. In the latest installment, we learn that Anthony is all about starting a book to celebrate the history of hairstyles and fashion in New Jersey for the state’s 225-year anniversary. Now at first I’m thinking that’s a cool idea: they can re-create the looks of what was big during that time period. WRONG! They will re-create events in Jersey’s past, using modern hair and fashion. Sounds kind of lame to me, but whatevs. Tracy offers up her friend Sammy to help out, since she has experience dealing with publishers, so Sammy sits down with Anthony and […]

2012 Kentucky Derby TV schedule

May 3, 2012 Ryan Berenz Comments Off

The 138th Kentucky Derby takes place Saturday, May 5, from Churchill Downs in Louisville, for the first leg of horse racing’s elusive Triple Crown (sweeping the Kentucky Derby, Preakness Stakes and Belmont Stakes). Bodemeister, Creative Cause, Hansen, Take Charge Indy, Union Rags, Gemologist and Dullahan are among the top horses in the starting gate. Long shot Animal Kingdom (pictured) won last year’s Run for the Roses. NBC has coverage of the Derby beginning at 4pm ET on Saturday, but since this is one of those “Big Event” things that NBCUniversal thinks appeals to more than just horse-racing fans, you’ll get […]
