Las Vegas, NV -- April 8, 2003 -- Local web and graphic designer Ivy Shantelle Hover will be appearing in E! Entertainment Network's Emmy-nominated documentary series "E! True Hollywood Story" (http://www.eonline.com/On/Holly/index.html). A new episode focusing on the award-winning HBO series "The Sopranos" is scheduled to air on April 20th, 2003 at 8pm (Pacific). Segments featuring Hover recounting facts about the show and its stars were taped at the historic Battista's Hole In The Wall in February 2003. "We were honored to have E! film in our restaurant since I'm an avid Sopranos fan," says Chef Richard Gibson. "It's the only television show that I'll admit to watching and my favorite character is Artie Bucco since he's also the chef of an Italian restaurant."

After creating her Sopranos fan web site, Sopranoland.com, Hover has become regarded nationally as a Sopranos expert. Sopranoland.com has received mentions in TV Guide, Entertainment Weekly, USA Today, The New York Times, The New York Post and numerous other publications. This media attention also garnered her a five-episode stint as The Sopranos Geek during the first season of Comedy Central's "Beat The Geeks" game show.
