May 3, 2013 Ryan Berenz

Univision’s NASCAR-themed telenovela Arranque de Pasion, La Historia de Ela makes its prime-time TV debut with a special edited version on Sunday, May 5, at 10:15pm ET/PT. This original webnovela is about a talented NASCAR driver who has been playing second fiddle to her longtime boyfriend.

So here’s the translated series description (may contain spoilers) from Univision.com: “This story takes place between wheels of chariots of speed, where the competition and love intertwine. In the center of […]

Is it some sort of weird art experiment? Do Kermit […]

With no studio or audience, celebrity guests enjoy hospitality with Guadagnino’s family and Italian cuisine prepared by his mother.

We’ve already been subjected to spinoffs Snooki & JWOWW and The Pauly D Project, neither of which garnered the same following as Jersey Shore, and MTV seems to be clutching at this […]
