I had this trouble with "Glee" over the break, where I couldn't seem to contain within my brain that Quinn got T-boned and Rachel almost got married at the same time, and thus kept forgetting one or the other. So I was extra confused when Quinn showed up all blonde and perky and wheelchair-bound. And it was only partly because that's NOT how spinal injuries work. Which … have you ever had that troubling thing happen where your real life interferes with guilty pleasure TV life? I have that a lot with medical dramas where I'm all, “For love of all that is holy, why is your long, flowing hair LOOSE while you are doing SURGERY?

This Sunday's WrestleMania promises to be a memorable one. The card is stacked from top to bottom with a variety of matches featuring superstars of the past, present and future battling it out on the grandest stage of all. Amidst the promotion and hype of the two top matches - John Cena vs. The Rock and Triple H vs. The Undertaker in Hell in a Cell with Shawn Michaels as the guest referee - WWE has been building the next generation of...

Turn 1, a sharp right from Pratt Street onto Light Street, was the scene of numerous wipe-outs during practice runs, and as the inaugural Baltimore Grand Prix got started yesterday it was a scene that Chris Clifford captured with his cellphone, which he held aloft to relay the thundering noise to a friend who had the misfortune of being elsewhere. "Hear anything?" Clifford shouted over the roars and squeals of the racecars a few feet away. Then Clifford, from Salisbury, summed up the crowd's collective enthusiasm this way: "To have a grand prix so close to us is terrific," he said.

Jimmie Johnson and Kurt Busch have just been downgraded to the undercard in NASCAR's contentious Summer Slam Series. Make way for Greg Biffle and Boris Said. Their post-race road rage at Watkins Glen on Monday had all the feisty elements necessary for a full-blown rivalry. It doesn't get any better than Said calling Biffle a "scaredy cat" and asking people to text him Biffle's address so he can make an unexpected house call and show him a little vigilante justice. NASCAR officials are investigating the incident because punches were thrown.

Farm Fair week has arrived in Harford County. Although the 2011 Harford County Farm Fair doesn't officially open until Thursday morning, there is plenty being done in preparation for the event, which runs through Sunday evening at the Harford County Equestrian Center, 608 N. Tollgate Road in Bel Air. This past Sunday, the fair committee held its first ever pre-fair events at the fairgrounds on the Harford County Equestrian Center, a 5K...

Darvin Moon hasn't been a poker player for very long, but there has always been a part of him that understood the basic principles of risk. The 45-year-old Oakland resident, who will sit down at the final table of the World Series of Poker today as the overall chip leader, has been a logger his entire life. And as any good logger can tell you, those who don't understand which risks to take, and which not to take, when cutting down trees don't get many second chances. Even the good ones get battered and banged up. Moon has had his arm crushed, his leg broken, his knee busted, and he has dodged death more times than he can really recall.

The Prime Rib is a restaurant living in the past. It's a restaurant Donald Draper of Mad Men, the cable TV show set in Manhattan in the '60s, would enjoy - a place where wheeler-dealers took their beautiful wives, ate prime steaks and drank chilled martinis. The service, by tuxedoed waiters, is top-notch. That goes almost without saying. Since it opened in 1965, the Prime Rib has been Baltimore's answer to the New York supper club. Reviewers - including me - have swooned over the leopard-print carpeting, the black walls, the sensuous, gilt-framed paintings, the baby grand.

After nearly two years of disruptive road construction that deterred customers and thwarted shop keepers, Main Street in Bel Air is tossing a party and hoping crowds will come. About a half-mile of the street billed as the "heart of Harford County" will be closed one more time tomorrow - not for drilling, digging or paving; but for the Main Event, a celebration marking the end of the nearly $9 million face-lift that began in January last year and closed the road and sidewalks, eliminated parking and brought noise, dust and, at times, tar to the doors of restaurants, office buildings and shops.

Talk about your TV timeouts. The World Series of Poker Main Event, the biggest poker tournament of the year, will suspend play when it gets down to the final table (nine players) in mid-July and then resume nearly four months later Nov. 9. ESPN will broadcast the conclusion Nov. 11 at 9 p.m. ESPN is tentatively set to begin televising pre-Main Event tournaments July 22 (all telecasts are on Tuesdays) and Main Event coverage begins Sept. 2. A preview show of the final nine players is scheduled for Nov. 4. Final table survivors will pick up where they left off in the summer on Nov. 9 and play down to two. The one-on-one match is set to begin at about midnight Nov. 10. The timing means that the final two-hour show will air only a half day or so after a new champion wins millions of dollars, thereby giving the telecast more immediacy than normal.
