Verstappen is in it to win it

At just 25 years old, Formula 1 driver Max Verstappen has already made his mark in the racing world, taking home the F1 World Drivers’ Championship two years in a row, in 2021 and 2022. Verstappen shows no sign of slowing down in 2023 as the racing season starts to ramp up.

The son of two racing drivers, many would agree that Verstappen has a “need for speed” in his blood. He began competing at the junior level in 2006 and, by 2014, had risen to the professional level, becoming the youngest driver in history to complete in an F1 racing weekend. By the end of the season the next year, Verstappen had taken the title of F1A Rookie of the Year, cementing his place in the racing world.

In 2016, Verstappen signed with Red Bull Racing, the team he currently drives for. Since signing, Verstappen has clinched several awards and championships and then dominated the 2022 racing season. Verstappen has taken that energy into the 2023 season, as he’s currently ranked the top driver in Formula 1 racing just a few rounds in.

Racing fans and experts noticed that throughout 2022, Verstappen’s style and skill were bumped to the next level compared to previous seasons. Some noted that winning the championship title in 2021 gave Verstappen a boost of confidence that worked its way into his driving. He found a way to be both energetic and relaxed, helping him win 15 races out of 22 and take home his second consecutive drivers’ championship.

Even though the 2023 season just started in March, Verstappen has already won two of the first four, taking the top spot in the Bahrain Grand Prix and the Australia Grand Prix and second in Saudi Arabia and Azerbaijan. Currently, Verstappen has 93 points (six more than teammate Sergio Perez) heading into the coming races. Red Bull Racing has 180 points, leading the Constructor Championship standings ahead of teams Aston Martin (87) and Mercedes (76). Verstappen is slated to race in the Italian Grand Prix, with ESPN2 providing live coverage on Sunday, May 21; and in the Monaco Grand Prix, which will air live on ABC Sunday, May 28.

Verstappen is a fan favorite worldwide — especially with his Dutch countrymen in the Netherlands. He was voted the most popular F1 driver in 2021 and consistently fills dedicated sections of Grand Prix grandstands with excited fans. If the 2023 season is to be anything like Verstappen’s last couple of seasons, fans will surely be in for a heart-racing schedule of races with Max Verstappen leading the way.

Kitchen closing: ‘Rachael Ray’ bids farewell to daytime TV

After 17 seasons of weekday food and fun, the kitchen is closing for “Rachael Ray.”

That’s the program that goes by that name, not the title personality, who is already looking toward new media horizons for herself.

The last episode of her syndicated talk show airs Wednesday, May 24, and it’s sure to celebrate many of the top moments Ray has put forth over the better part of the past two decades — both as a culinary and lifestyle authority, and as someone whose interviewing skills have developed considerably during the show’s run.

“I’m a good cook who learned how to talk to anybody over time,” the ever-lively Ray says in assessing the longevity of her eponymous show, “and that’s because of practice. I have always believed that anybody in America can be successful at anything if they can close their eyes and see themselves trying it. If you’re not ashamed of where you come from, you never have to be ashamed of where you might go.”

When “Rachael Ray” began in 2006, its

bubbly host already was widely known for the cooking shows she made principally for Food Network, including “30 Minute Meals,” a concept the former waitress and pub manager originated while she was a buyer for an upscale food market in Upstate New York. She parlayed that job into classes she taught to customers, which drew the interest of an area television station; the segments she did there paved the way for NBC’s “Today” to feature her regularly, then for Food Network to begin showcasing her.

Recurring spots on “The Oprah Winfrey Show” progressed to the point where Winfrey became an executive producer of Ray’s own talk show from its inception.

Throughout the run of “Rachael Ray,” the host has had a true partner in her husband, musician and lawyer John Cusimano. Besides contributing melodically to the program, he effectively became Ray’s co-host when the coronavirus pandemic forced her to shift production from a Manhattan studio to the couple’s home in Lake Luzerne, New York.

As for what lies ahead for Ray, she intends to work again with many of her “Rachael Ray” colleagues in channeling much of her focus and energy into her new venture, Free Food Studios. It has a commitment for an A&E series tentatively titled “Rachael Ray Meals in Minutes,” the first effort in a new library of programming she intends to build with fellow producers she has worked with before. She also plans to nurture new talent in the food-show space.

“There’s tons of great content out there, now more than ever,” Ray reasons. “We’re going to be working on platforms on multiple levels. The world is constantly changing in that way, and I feel so lucky as an American woman in her 50s to still be relevant. It’s exciting and cool, and it proves the point that you can do anything you want.”

Q: As your “Mayans M.C.” character — biker-group chapter president Ezekiel “EZ” Reyes — nears the end of his journey on the series as the fifth and final season starts, how do you see his arc?

A: Especially when I think about it, when it comes to EZ, it’s in these dark places that there’s a sense like an awakening that happens. It’s like you almost have to go through the fire, and experience the lowest of the lows, to understand who you are and to test it. I think that that’s where you find these characters.

Q: What do you think EZ represents on the broader scale of the human condition?

A: It’s like a lot of times, we use people or situations as excuses and crutches because we are afraid to be who we are. We are afraid to acknowledge who we might be. What I have always loved about “Mayans M.C.,” and it’s a separation from “Sons of Anarchy” and other shows of this nature, is that this isn’t a character that just goes into prison and spends time there and comes out and it’s like, “Oh, it is just another day.” It is the story of this human being who goes to prison and who is transformed by it, who is traumatized by it, who carries that with him every day.

Q: How do you think that manifests itself in who we now see EZ to be?

A: He lost a bit of himself in there. He “died” in there. So, EZ has always been trying to go back to this place to regain who he used to be, when that’s just not the truth anymore.

All things must end, it seems. Friendships, relationships, reality shows … nothing can last forever. But in true “Vanderpump” tradition, all that ends, ends with a bang.

The explosive “Vanderpump Rules Reunion Special” commences for a 10th year – split into two non-stop, drama-filled installments – with “Part 1” premiering Wednesday, May 24, on Bravo.

Each and every season of “Vanderpump” serves hot gossip and jaw-dropping moments, but it’s safe to say that Season 10 truly takes the cake. Avid ‘Vander-lovers’ will know that February and March were show-stopping months for some of the show’s regulars, and as the season wraps up, fans are desperate to know where the Toms (Schwartz and Sandoval), Raquel, Ariana and Katie all stand.

To recap, “Vanderpump” returned with new episodes in February of this year, following the split between Tom Schwartz and Katie Maloney. When Schwartz and “Vanderpump” regular Raquel Leviss engaged in some public flirting, fans were hungry for more details — and as March rolled in, that’s exactly what they got (and then

some). News soon broke that Leviss and “Vanderpump’s” other Tom, Tom Sandoval, had engaged in a months-long affair, resulting in the end of his nine-year relationship with Ariana Madix.

Though Leviss and Sandoval issued public apologies (both to their partners and fans), reactions from the remaining “Vanderpump” cast have been kept mostly under wraps, saved for viewers to witness first hand. That being said, an unidentified source told US Weekly that the cast was “out of control” during the March taping.
