Lifestyles of the Rich and the Famous – NJ Reality TV Hotspots
Live the life of a celebrity without leaving New Jersey!
What used to be known as the beloved “Garden State” has now become home to the bronzed, the bouffant, and the “boss” (and we’re not talking about Springsteen). Whether you’re a housewife, a hairdresser, a baker, or a beachgoer, you’ve definitely tuned into America’s favorite reality shows at least once – OK, maybe twice! Even though you hate to admit it, these animated characters have stolen a place in your heart, along with a solid three hours of your week. Almost three years since the premiers of Jersey Shore, Real Housewives of New Jersey, Jerseylicious, and Cake Boss and these stars are bigger than ever – and they’re taking the tourist rate with them.
Whether you prefer spinning the wheels of steel with Pauly D, maxing out your credit cards with Teresa, creating a masterpiece with the king of cakes, or teasing hair (and Olivia) with Tracy at the Gatsby Salon, the inner Jersey in you has made you fall victim to an infatuation with these TV stars. There’s no need to be ashamed, we’re all guilty of getting our GTL on! That’s why health & life magazine brings you all the best places for fashion, feasting, and fist-pumping like a Jers-lebrity! Who knows, maybe you’ll even get to see one of these unique creatures in person! So buckle up and get ready because THE CAB’S ARE HEAH!
