Style Media greenlights a fifth season of its popular docu-soap JERSEYLICIOUS which follows the animal print-loving, big hair, smoky-eyed divas and their outrageous drama. Set to premiere in Q1 2013, the 14-episode new season produced by Endemol USA will pick up after the jaw-dropping announcement that Olivia plans to leave both Anthony and Gayle's salons to be an independent consultant.

The complex, interwoven lives of these sassy stylists will feature new romances, opportunities and plenty of hair-raising drama. For four seasons, JERSEYLICIOUS fans have followed the tan-tastic rivalry between makeup artist Olivia and hair stylist Tracy who have fought over anything and everything from guys to friends, clients and clothes. Now, unusual circumstances have made them frenemies as they are involved in a highly-fueled feud with Gigi, who has shed her "good girl" image to be her own person, speaking her mind no matter who it hurts. Meanwhile, Olivia contemplates returning to Anthony Robert Salon in a new role and using his salon as home base for her new company, which makes Tracy feel threatened – especially since her focus has shifted from her career to planning her new life with fiancé Corey. But her family's disapproval of her relationship with Corey dampens Tracy's enthusiasm for her upcoming wedding. As Gayle adjusts to the loss of Olivia at the Gatsby, Anthony, who is finally settled in his new salon space, looks for innovative ways to expand his business, including producing a book that is a retrospective on great moments in New Jersey history as depicted through hair and makeup styles. Also, salon manager Filippo pursues his dream career as an underwear model which could jeopardize his job with Anthony.

Season four of JERSEYLICIOUS ranked as Style's number one show with Women 18-49, averaging 508,000 total viewers in premiere episodes. Until the fifth season premieres, viewers can check in with the JERSEYLICIOUS cast as they stop by the Glam Factory on the second season of GLAM FAIRY which airs Sundays at 9pm ET/PT on Style. Also, the JERSEYLICIOUS show page on myStyle offers an in-depth look at the most dramatic moments of the past four seasons through exclusive cast blogs, bonus videos and photo galleries, highlighting both the salon stories and the stars' styles.
