The Bailiwick of Jersey (Jèrriais: Jèrri) is a British Crown dependency off the coast of Normandy, France. As well as the island of Jersey itself, the Bailiwick includes the uninhabited islands of the Minquiers, Écréhous, the Pierres de Lecq and other rocks and reefs. Together with the Bailiwick of Guernsey it forms the grouping known as the Channel Islands. The defence of all these islands is the responsibility of the United Kingdom. However, Jersey is not part of the UK, nor the European Union, but is rather a separate possession of the Crown, comparable to the Isle of Man. Jersey belongs to the Common Travel Area.

o after being kicked off (finally, thank GOD) AI last week, Antonella went on Ryan Seacrest's radio show to talk about how she's going to stick around L.A. for a couple of weeks to see if she gets any offers before heading back to Good 'Ol New Jersey. Now, she'll get some offers, that's probably for sure.
