This week on Jerseylicious was a doozie but before I get to the meat & potatoes of what went down, let’s sum up a couple of other boring plot lines. Olivia tells Jackie she broke things off with Nick because she needs to find herself and wants to expand her career. She tells Jackie how she wants to become a fashion “Jesus,” er, she means guru. They also discuss Gigi supposedly trash talking Jackie as a mother. Olivia is very upset about this, and decides to go confront Gigi about it.

When Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi started out on Jersey Shore, she said her "ultimate dream is to move to Jersey, find a nice, juiced hot tan guy and live my life" - and as the show's seasons have gone on, she has been able to do just that. But it wasn't until August 2010 that she met Jionni Lavalle, the guy who stood out from the others, and the one who has stuck around the longest. "I'm like, 'I want to marry you!'

Former "Jerseylicious" star Alexa Prisco has a lot to say when it comes to fellow Jersey girls representing the Garden State. Prisco is dishing out some harsh words for everyone from Snooki to the New Jersey "Housewives."

"They need an education," the star of the Style Network's forthcoming "Glam Fairy Show" says of the "Jersey Shore" cast. "They need to learn grammar. They need some fundamental understanding of the English language."

Making the point that it isn't politically correct to perpetuate stereotypes, Alexa says that when it comes to Jersey, TV executives didn't get that memo.

"It's unfair because me and Snooki have nothing in common, nothing," Alexa tells me on my HDNet show, "Naughty But Nice With Rob."

However, she saves her harshest criticisms for the ladies on the Jersey edition of "Real Housewives."

"I can't even with the Housewives of New Jersey," Alexa vents. "This is the thing,...

The cast members of "Glam Fairy," the Style Network spin-off of "Jerseylicious" that debuted last month, along with a few "Jerseylicious" alums, have some harsh words for their fellow New Jerseyans on reality TV.

"I find the 'Jersey Shore' so silly and insulting," said Alexa Prisco, the star of "Glam Fairy" and former star of "Jerseylicious." "They're not reflective of hardworking individuals like we are. Our show has hardworking people on it who want to be successful, not waste their lives."

"Glam Fairy" is the Style Network's latest reality series set in the spray-tan-friendly state. The makeover show takes viewers inside the glittery, high-energy world of makeup artist Prisco, who left Gatsby Salon -- featured on the second season of "Jerseylicious"-- to establish The Glam Factory.

Prisco's former "Jerseylicious" buddy, Tracy Dimarco, may no longer be working with her but agrees with Prisco's views on "Jersey Shore." She...

The fighting between Jerseylicious stars Tracy Dimarco and Olivia Blois Sharpe has gone way past the verbal and gotten majorly physical. So much mayhem erupted during a bar fight between the two gals and their beefed-up beaus (airing during Sunday's new episode of the reality series) that Dimarco wasn't even aware it was actually Sharpe who violently kicked her in the head during the brawl. "It is really hard to watch," Dimaro exclusively told us yesterday as she viewed footage of the kick for the first time. Uh-oh! Now that she knows who the culprit is, could Dimarco be planning revenge with some ass-whooping of her own? Read on to find out... "I thought that I had...

Let’s face it, New Jersey is hotter than a tanning bed right now. Shows like MTV's " Jersey Shore ," Bravo's “ Real Housewives of New Jersey ” and Style's “ Jerseylicious ” have put the state -- and some of it's biggest personalities -- on the map. TooFab talked to one of these big personalities -- "Jerseylicious" hairstylist Tracy Dimarco of the Great Gatsby salon. Dimarco dished on the real New Jersey, how the show has changed her life, and her thoughts on the infamous Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi. TooFab: Out of all the cast members, who would you like to get stranded on a deserted island with and why? Dimarco: GiGi because it doesn’t matter where we are, we always have the best time. Whether we’re out at a club or hanging out in a car, we always have fun and she’s the only person who could give me sanity on a deserted island!

The third season of Jerseylicious kicked off last night, with the Gatsby Salon's Glam Fairy Tracy Dimarco and make-up artist Olivia Blois Sharpe fighting even more than usual. The duo sat down with Hollywood Dailies co-host Viviana Vigil to talk about the latest source of their rivalry (Olivia dating Gayle's ex-boyfriend).

They also talked tans. Given that Olivia "wouldn't wish pale on her worst enemy," it's probably not too surprising that Twilight's Kristen Stewart was the movie star they'd most like to give a Jerseylicious makeover to — and they made it quite clear that they're not fans of Edward's sparkly look.

‘Jerseylicious’ may not be the greatest reality show on the air — it is very, very far from it — but something about the amazing cast makes it a phenomenal escape for one hour!

The reality show conundrum still wages, almost ten years since reportedly unscripted programs took over the airwaves — is it better to have a show that is completely organic or should producers seek to encourage and recreate dramatic situations? While the latter seems to be the far less ethical approach, it is employed in perfect measure on Jerseylicious.

The third season premiere of The Future Auditionees of ‘Real Housewives of New Jersey’ is, sadly, a complete let down. Whereas the first two seasons gave us Olivia and Tracy fighting nonstop (somewhat believably), this season seems to be shifting the focus to the other ladies — and Anthony — in the salon, and fostering false relationships.

Let’s start with Gigi and Olivia.

Jerseylicious is back—and nastier than ever. The drama between Gatsby salon stylist Tracy Dimarco and Olivia Blois Sharpe has gotten downright ugly. "Our relationship is worse than it ever has been," Dimarco tells us about the third season of the Style Network series, premiereing tonight at 8 p.m. Et/Pt. That's putting it lightly! In fact... We would so not be surprised to hear one day that the two gals acutally have a real physical fight, as in hair pulling and fists flying. "Our producers are always like, 'Tracy, Olivia, we use our words, not our fists,' " Dimarco says. "So nothing can ever be guaranteed... But if she pushes me the wrong way I will knock her...

The Style Network's No. 1 series, "Jerseylicious" is returning full throttle on Sunday (May 15) with all the glitz, glam and Jersey drama fans have come to love.

Zap2it caught up with stylist and New Jersey's self proclaimed Queen of Mean, Tracy Dimarco about what we can expect from the coming season, which the girls are still in the midst of filming.

Coming back from the electric two part reunion special hosted by Vivica A. Fox (the second half airs May 15th), we meet Christy's new baby girl and get caught up on the breakup between Gigi and Frankie, as well as Tracy and Jay. Next, we witness Mikey and Olivia's very first "I Love You" exchange, and the rivalry between Gayle and Alexa comes to a head. It's going to be a long season.

Jersey Shore star Angelina Pivarnick has been accused of faking her pregnancy. The reality star announced last Wednesday that she was expecting her first child but declined to reveal further details about the happy occasion, including the identity of the father. Speaking to E! Online, Pivarnick's friend and fellow reality star Tracy Dimarco questioned the 22-year-old's decision to remain tight-lipped and argued that her pregnancy could simply be a "crazy" plot. The Jerseylicious star stated: "I don't think she's really pregnant. I think it's all fake, but I mean, I don't know anymore. Especially with her, she's crazy. I love her but she's really crazy. You never know what goes on with her. "I just can't see Ang getting pregnant right now. She has all these plans of doing her wrestling (more)...

While we know for sure that Angelina Pivarnick and ex fiancé David Kovacs are dunzo, another thing is still in question. Is the former Jersey Shore star really pregnant?! One of Pivarnick's Jersey gal pals is telling us that, not only would she make a bad mother, but that the whole thing is probably a hoax anyway... "I don't think she's really pregnant," Jerseylicious star Tracy Dimarco told us while promoting the show's third season (premiering May 15). "I think it's all fake, but I mean, I don't know anymore.

We first told you about Style’s Jerseylicious spin-off project Glam Fairy back in January when the network gave the show a one-off special.

Seems Style was happy enough with the results to give the show a series order. The Endemol program follows Jersey makeup artist Alexa Prisco and her team as she uses her signature style to transform women. The new makeover show debuts in October.

The Style Network today held its first upfront presentation since the channel was put under the purview of NBCU's Lauren Zalaznick following the NBCU-Comcast merger. Style announced it has picked up Big Rich Texas with a 10-episode order. The docu-series, set to premiere in July, explores the ultra-exclusive world at the top of the Dallas social scene. It is produced by Fly on the Wall, with Allison Grodner and Rich Meehan exec producing. Two years ago, the network shot a similar series, Divas and Daughters, about Dallas socialite mothers and daughters. Also announced today are How Do I Look?, a search for the country’s worst fashion offenders hosted by Jeannie Mai, which will premiere in September; and makeover series Glam Fairy, a spinoff of Style's flagship series Jerseylicious. The Endemol USA show, which follows New Jersey makeup artist Alexa Prisco, will premiere in October. Style also announced a development slate of 10 unscripted series.

Love Style network’s Jerseylicious? On Sunday the network airs a one-hour special that’s basically a spin-off of the show called Glam Fairy starring stylist Alexa Prisco. The concept: A group of plain-Jane sorority girls go to Prisco’s Glam Factory in Hoboken for some makeover magic. If it show does well in the ratings, who knows? A new series may be born. Here’s an exclusive clip from the Endemol-produced show:...

If 'Jersey Shore' is your biggest guilty pleasure, then you should also be well-aware of the Style Network's reality series, 'Jerseylicious.'

The show follows the daily lives of the owners, hair stylists and make-up artists at Gatsby Salon in Green Brook, N.J. While it's more about work than drunken play, it has just as much crazy-New-Jersey-Italian-absurdness as MTV's most popular show.

'Jerseylicious' releases cast member confessionals as web exclusives, and the most recently uploaded features Frankie Buglione's heart-wrenching disclosure that he's an animal lover.

"Jerseylicious" Star Nabs New Boyfriend

"Jerseylicious" star Tracy Dimarco has got herself a new boyfriend -- and it's causing some serious tension with her ex.

TooFab has learned Dimarco, who was seen dating Lorenzo Gangala on the Style Network show, has moved on -- and is now seeing a 23-year-old NYC bartender named Jonathon Padilla. We're told it's "starting to get serious."

The problem: Lorenzo isn't a fan of her new beau and the relationship has led to fights between the two men.

Dimarco tells TooFab "Jonathon is very supportive and accepting of my career, unlike with my ex where he was always trying to bring me down... It is a small world in Jersey and Johnathon and Lorenzo have run into each other numerous times and end up fighting over me, which I think is pointless because clearly I'm happy now and it's time for Lorenzo to move on.

Babies are a big deal, and they can be a game-changer for a relationship. That's why it's best to get all your emotional baggage on the table before that little bundle of joy comes along. On 'Jerseylicious' (Sun. 8Pm on Style), Gigi reached her breaking point during her baby shower at the lack of interest Frankie showed in the whole thing, and lost it completely when he prepared to leave before it was over.

"I con't care [that] you're busy," she said, following him to his car. "You do it for me!"

"I did do it for you," he insisted. But Gigi sees a pattern with Frankie that she's had enough of.

The show takes place in The Gatsby Salon, a Green Brook, New Jersey hair salon that had just taken on a major renovation and several new colorful employees.
