The Jersey Shore kids will be shooting season four in their motherland (most of their motherland’s, anyway). Yep, they’re going to Italy.

According to MTV.com, while Jersey Shore is a popular program internationally, there are bound to be plenty of people oblivious to “The Situation” and his colorful cronies, as well as the circus of debauchery they bring with them to every locale. Who knows how the OGs of Italy will react to our self-proclaimed guidos and guidettes?
By the way, Vinny’s first generation family is down for the ride. They will be nearby to offer comfort food and some guidance on the cultural ways of “the beautiful country.”

Let’s just hope they don’t get into real trouble that may be handled differently overseas than in America (i.e. Snooki’s public drunkeness arrest).

In case you’re wondering, the Italian word for “grenade” is “granata.” Lastly, “gorilla juice head” in Italian is “gorilla di succo di testa.” (My google translator game for Android is on smash!)

The show begins filming in Spring of 2011 and will air later on this year.

Who’s excited? (*Raises hand)

As you know, there were several Italian Americans who wanted Jersey Shore to be banned from TV because a lot of the people in the cast refer to themselves as “guidos” and “guidettes,” which are offensive terms. Well, Vinny Guadagnino from the show is probably going to piss off even more people because he recently released a remake to Wiz Khalifa’s hit single ” Black & Yellow.” Vinny’s version is entitled, “Black & Guido.”

“Uh huh…you know what it is. I met a Black girl and her booty big. Uh huh…now I’m taken. When you see us on the block honey, stop hatin’.”

I guess he’s trying to flex more than just his fist pumping skills these days. (*Side eye*) Check out the whole song below:

In an interview with USA Today, which we posted below, Snooki told the reporter, “I like to read books where I know the background of the story because I get confused when I read a lot.” This is who America gives book deals (she once said she’s only read two books in her life), but I digress.

Snooki’s novel (which was written with a collaborator), A Shore Thing has been released today and she can now add author to her resume. The book is a fictionalized account of two girls’ naughty summertime adventures at the Jersey Shore. Two girls are “coincidentally” reminiscent of Snooki and her partner in crime, Jenni “JWoww” Farley. Check out this video clip below where Snooki goes into more detail.

By the way, Jersey Shore Season 3 premieres on Thursday at 10pm on MTV.

Another day, another reality television star behind bars. Yes, you’re shocked. I’m shocked. Don’t fret, though: The sky is still blue.

This time, it’s one of the Jersey Shore kids getting the metal cuffs.

Via the Hollywood Reporter:

Jersey Shore cast member Ronald “Ronnie” Ortiz-Magro has been indicted on one count of assault for knocking a man out during the show’s first season of filming. The New Jersey grand jury indictment alleges that Ortiz “did purposely or knowingly cause significant bodily injury to Stephen Izzo by striking him in the face with a closed fist, causing him to lose consciousness.”

The punch was not broadcast on Jersey Shore but the events leading up to it, and the aftermath — Izzo lying facedown on the ground — were.

Izzo’s attorney Eugene Laverne told the Asbury Park Press, “It’s about time. It’s perplexing to me as to why it would have taken 16 months to indict this guy when the crime was committed on film and at this point has been viewed by millions of witnesses.”

The third-degree assault charge is punishable by up to five years in state prison, notes APP. Ortiz-Magro has previously been arrested for outstanding warrants and disorderly conduct.

One thing we can look forward to in January is more Jersey Shore shenanigans. Season three will return to MTV on January 6 sans Angelina. The new girl is Snooki’s childhood friend Deena. Besides the new chick everything else is still the same. The boys will be on a never ending quest for hook ups but this time they have a grenade whistle to keep them away from women they feel aren’t attractive. The girls will continue to fight–drama, drama, drama. Season two left of with Sammi having tension with Snooki and JWoww and now Deena is on in the action, siding with the latter two. Check out the video below:

You read the title correctly, which probably also means that the world is officially ending soon. Yes. Snooki has a book deal with Gallery  Books, an imprint on Simon and Schuster, despite the fact that she told The New York Times in July that she had only read two books in her life (Twilight and Dear John), which isn’t hard to believe.

The Jersey Shore star will write a novel titled, A Shore Thing, Gallery Books announced Wednesday.

“The book will tell the tale of a girl looking for love on the boardwalk,(one full of big hair, dark tans and fights galore),” said Gallery Books, an imprint of Simon & Schuster.

Snooki said she’s been working on the novel for a while (like when they gave her the advance–side eye).

“This book will have you falling in love at the shore. It’s a sure thing!” she said in a statement.

Only in America can menial people become rich and famous for having obnoxious personalities and get perks like book, TV and movie deals. Only in America, smh. I admit, I do watch that nonsense on TV. But a book deal? And on Simon and Schuster? Really? That’s just criminal. (But I wonder who the ghost writer will be).

Will you read Snooki’s book?

Of course you thought it was either Snooki or The Situation! Nope. It’s DJ Pauly D.

After weeks of record-setting ratings for Jersey Shore, MTV is now working on a possible spinoff for Pauly DelVecchio. According to The LA Times, the premise of the project has yet to be decided. However, rumor has it that the series would follow the 28-year-old DJ on gigs around the country (insert fist pump here). It hasn’t been greenlit yet but there’s a strong possibility considering Jersey Shore’s success this season.

According to TV Guide, the most recent episode of Jersey Shore drew 5.9 million viewers on Thursday and beat new broadcast programming like NBC’s The Apprentice, with a 3.1 rating in the adults 18-49 demographic, which is a big deal to TV big wigs.

If the Pauly D show gets picked up it will probably do just well for MTV as he is seen as a second favorite out of the men in the cast (The Situation is number one). In fact, they’re probably going to drain this gravy train until the food runs out. The Situation is busy taping Dancing With The Stars but we surely haven’t seen the last of him and Snooki can’t seem to stay in a relationship so she may get her “Snookin For Love” dating show after all. That could just be my need for a new reality TV fix talking (the more dysfunctional the better) but it’s not a far fetch.

Anywho, what do you think of a Pauly D. spinoff? Would you watch?

Did you know in some states you can face charges for being annoying?

I didn’t, but go figure I would discover this random law in relation to a reality star.

Indeed, Snooki from the TV sensation (I will not roll my eyes, I repeat, I will not roll my eyes), Jersey Shore, went to court yesterday to face the following charges: Disorderly conduct, creating a public nuisance and being criminally annoying.

These charges all stem from a drunken show Snooki put on in Seaside Heights, N.J., in late July.

The 22-year-old born Nicole Polizzi has pleased not guilty to all charges.

After the incident happened, she did acknowledge that she was drinking tequila for several hours. She was so drunk that she doesn’t even remember being picked up by the po-po while wearing a t-shirt with the word “SLUT” splattered over it.

On these charges she said she was “too pretty to be in jail.”

For those of you worried about how this will affect your TV viewing habits, don’t worry; all she got was a $533 fine and two days of community service after her lawyer talked about her academic career prior to joining Jersey Shore and her love of animals.

Judge Damian Murray did throw shade at Snooki, though – calling her actions “rude and self-indulgent,” and said if her antics were scripted that she needed to decide “if it was worth trading your dignity for a paycheck.”

He called her a “Lindsay wannabe.”

See kids, judges read the blogs, too.

Now question for the readers: If you could charge any reality star with being criminally annoying, who would it be and why?

But this time it’s not really their fault.

A woman who claims she was assaulted by the Jersey Shore kids’ bodyguards last fall has filed a claim against the entire cast of the show, according to RadarOnline.com. In addition to naming Snooki n’em, the suit also names MTV and its parent company (Viacom), as well as 495 Productions, as defendants. This isn’t the first lawsuit plaguing the show.

The alleged incident took place in September 2009, on the same night cast member Ronnie Magro was filmed punching a man who ended up unconscious. Magro was arrested for aggravated assault. In March, the couple involved in that brawl sued MTV for broadcasting what they claimed was an inaccurate depiction of a heated altercation they got into with Sammi Giancola and Magro. (The couple that sued clearly started it).

Last month, a Chicago-area woman filed suit against MTV, as well as Snooki and Jenni J-Woww, alleging that she was assaulted on camera when the cast and crew were in a Miami nightclub shooting a season two episode.

Clearly, drama follows these people. But as much as they can sometimes have nasty attitudes, people in general are being greedy. In the case of the most recent woman, why sue the cast if the bodyguards are the ones who attacked her?

One thing I’ve discovered from interviewing reality TV “stars” is that as much as they act a fool on camera, people who aren’t on the show can act just as crazy by shouting things at the cast and crew and trying to invade their space with antagonistic behavior. There’s something about being filmed and seeing people get filmed that brings out some folks’ inner bozo. However, when said idiots reap the consequences of their antics, the easiest thing to do is pretend to be the victim and try to milk the situation (no pun intended) for as much money as possible. Sad.

Brandy and Jersey Shore’s Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino will be joining the cast of Dancing With The Stars 11 according to Reality TV World. Brandy was confirmed by OK! magazine a few days ago but news of The Situation is the latest word.

“We’ll have to see [if he can dance], but we can’t wait to see what he pulls off. He’s going to be hilarious,” an insider told E! News, which reported Sorrentino’s participation is a “done deal.”

So far, other leaked castmembers, according to OK!, include retired NFL quarterback Kurt Warner and Audrina Patridge formerly of The Hills. In addition, former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Troy Aikman and The Bachelorette couple Ali Fedotowsky and Roberto Martinez haven’t been officially confirmed but according to rumors they may also be part of this fall’s line up as well.

ABC will announce Dancing with the Stars’ eleventh-season cast in a live “press conference” that will air on August 30.

I’m excited about Brandy and, dare I say it, The Situation, but since when did reality TV folks get classified as stars.
