The Situation Skips Party to Practice Dance Moves

Believe it or not, The Situation is choosing to practice instead of party.

Jersey Shore star Mike Sorrentino was expected to host Rehab, a poolside party at the Hard Rock in Vegas last Sunday, but canceled the trip to work on his quickstep for Dancing With the Stars.

And while a Hard Rock rep said “We were told he was ill,” his booking manager confirms he bailed on the bash to rehearse…

“Yes, he is taking DWTS very seriously. [He] understands that everyone else has a two-week jump on him as far as rehearsals and wants to give this his full attention,” he tells me.

So did his extra practice time pay off last night?

Well, he didn’t receive the lowest score from the judges Monday, but only time will tell. The booted contestant will be announced on tonight’s show.

Fingers crossed it’s not Mike, since he skipped out on fist-pumping in Vegas to work on his ballroom moves!

‘Jersey Shore’ Just Part Of ‘I Like It’ Success

It seems like “I Like It” owes a lot of its success to a little television phenomenon known as “Jersey Shore.” The Enrique Iglesias jam, which features the cast of the MTV reality show in its video, had many a club-goer jamming to the beat at their local Karma outpost. But the song’s producer, RedOne, thinks that being linked to the show is only one of the puzzle pieces that created the song’s overwhelming success.

“No, I’m not tied to the ‘Jersey Shore,’ ” he told MTV News when he stopped by our office last week. “If your song is good, it’s going to survive all the way. It started with ‘Jersey Shore,’ and then radio.”

He explains that Iglesias was looking to reinvent himself, and this was just the right tune.

“People were calling radio like crazy because radio wouldn’t play Enrique,” RedOne said. “Thanks to Enrique, because he delivered an incredible performance. Pitbull was a really important factor to that song too. Everybody’s energies helped, made it go all the way. ‘Jersey Shore’ was just one piece out of the whole thing.”

RedOne said that in addition to working with Lady Gaga — and not working with Lindsay Lohan — he is back in the studio with Iglesias, trying to cook up some more magic.

“We’re still working and doing songs,” he explained. “If you love music and you have your passion and you know what you’re doing, you just focus and do it well and with the quality.

“We’re gonna make people dance,” he continued. “We’re gonna make people happy. That’s what we did with ‘I Like It.’ … We’re just gonna get together and do what we do.”

Pauly D Gets a ‘Jersey Shore’ Spin-off

Jersey Shore star, reliable wingman, blowout poster boy and current king of quips Pauly DelVecchio, known as DJ Pauly D to his fans, has secured his own spin-off, Radar Online reports.

What makes Pauly worthy of becoming the Frasier to his Cheers, the Joey to his Friends? Perhaps it’s that, of the seven main residents of the Jersey Shore house, he’s the only one with a real job. (Shilling gelato and making club appearances doesn’t really count. Nor does spinning Karina Smirnoff on Dancing with the Stars. Sorry, Sitch.)

The spin-off will center on Pauly’s spinning career as a club DJ, starting with its name (still TBA): “They have already chosen a name and of course it will be deejay-related,” reports Radar.

Jersey Shore just wrapped filming season 3 back in its namesake state, and has already been renewed for season 4 (which, judging by the underwhelming drama on season 2 thus far, sounds a lot like counting one’s chickens before they get drunk and bite off the heads of the other chickens, if you ask me), but Radar’s source says Pauly’s Jersey Shore obligations won’t get in the way:

“It’s another MTV reality show and he’ll be DJ-ing and of course doing things his fans love to watch,” the source laughed, referring to Pauly’s way with the ladies. So, by “doing things,” they mean “doing random girls”? Got it.

What will Pauly’s new spinning spin-off be called? As usual, I’ve got some ideas. How about … DJ Tannest? (FULL HOUSE JOKE!) Spin Sh*tty? Pauly Shore? (That last one may be a little too confusing, but would definitely tap directly into the highly coveted Biodome fan demographic.)

Whatever the name, the more important question is whether the usually level-headed (but high-haired) Pauly will be able to sustain enough interest when he goes from ensemble cast member to main star. How will he dish out his words of wisdom (we’re grading on a curve here) without his housemates around to make all those mistakes? Will The Situation need make a guest appearance to add excitement, a la Jennifer Aniston on Cougar Town?

Sammi Explains Reaction To Snooki, JWoww Note

It’s possibly the most famous letter in reality-show history: the anonymous, all-caps note informing “Jersey Shore” star Sammi that Ronnie had been eagerly messing around behind her back.

Eventually, the truth came out — in hair-pulling, vocal-cord-shredding fashion. What else have we come to expect from the endlessly entertaining “Shore” kids? Sammi ended up repairing her relationship with Ron, though we can’t say the same for her rapport with the letter-writing Snooki and JWoww. The past few episodes, Sammi and Ron have been snuggling and first-pumping as if they just got married on the Seaside Heights boardwalk. Meanwhile, things between Sammi and her two roommates have remained icy at best and vicious at worst.

Now finished filming in Miami, Sammi opened up to MTV News about her reaction to both the note and Ronnie’s less-than-honorable behavior and why the note seemed to bother her more than her boo’s deception.

“Why am I really upset more at the girls than Ron?” she said. “Well, Ron was a douche bag. He kind of screwed me over, messed me up, but these are my girls. The people that I lived in the room with, that probably should have came and told me personally.

“I’m there crying to my friends — who I think are my friends — and they’re staring at me lying to my face. I understand they didn’t know what to do. I understand they were in a hard pickle,” Sammi added. “I’m not mad at them for writing the note. Thank you — I wish people would understand this — thank you for writing the note. I’m more mad that you guys are supposed to be my friends and you were more worried about losing Ron as a friend than me.”

Back in Jersey, Sammi said, her friends would have told her the truth. But in Miami, she found herself not only facing the difficulty of living with her then-ex-boyfriend, but doing so without a group of trustworthy peeps on her side. Once she began to suspect that Ronnie was smooching girls behind her back, she began to feel truly alone.

“I’m in this house now, everybody knows something but me,” Sammi explained. “Ron was a douche bag, the house, everybody’s fake, and I’m on my own. So now I’m coming into this, I’m losing my mind, I’m so insecure, I don’t know who’s my friend in the house, because not one person can come up to me and tell me what’s really going on.”

Of course, none of that explains why Sammi chose to forgive Ronnie for his behavior but not Snooki and JWoww for theirs. Sammi does point out that she helped Snooki through a difficult time with her then-boyfriend, Emilio, and was upset that Snooki didn’t support her in return. Ultimately, Sammi came to lean on Ronnie once again, if only because she had nowhere else to turn.

“For them to just look at me and just lie to me every single day — knowing that they know something’s going on — to me is not OK,” she said of her roomies. “I felt really backstabbed when those girls just thought, ‘Oh, let’s write a note,’ and then think it’s funny when I asked them about it.”

Snooki offered $100,000 to shill for FleshDrive

Jersey Shore star Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi has been offered $100,000 to appear in commercials for FleshDrive.

They sell USB drives that come pre-loaded with porn, in case you were wondering. A company spokesperson said, “We know that Snooki makes a big impression wherever she goes, and that is why her tiny figure and incredible attitude will fit perfectly within the FleshDrive world.”

Page Six reports: “According to the letter sent by FleshDrive, Polizzi’s deal is for three years, and she will have to shoot three commercials and appear at three events per year to promote the technology.”

Should she do it? Sounds like easy money to me. But for three years and only $100,000. She would only have to walk five red carpets to make that kind of money and she could probably do that within a year’s time. What do you think?

Ron-Ron Juice Recipe (Secret Ingredient Revealed!)

The infamous “Ron-Ron Juice” is a cocktail that a shirtless Ronnie always preps for the Jersey Shore gang before a night of fist-pumping and smooshing. But what exactly is in that “root of all evil”?

We were introduced to the joooce in Season 1, being a fruity blend of watermelon, cherries, cranberry juice, vodka, and ice.

(Yes, those muscle-heads apparently enjoy their fruity chick cocktails.)

But during a recent appearance on David Letterman, Snooki shared a secret ingredient that has never been revealed …

“Ron Ron Juice, it messes you up,” she shared. “It’s vodka, watermelon, blueberry, cherries, and maybe some Jäger. You have to [get drunk before you go out]. You can’t go to a club sober.”

Jägermeister!!! Well that explains a lot — Jäger would definitely “mess you up.” Ugh. It’s making me sick just thinking about it (I had a not-so-great experience with Jäger in college, now I can’t look at the stuff without my stomach churning).

If you’re willing to give the hardcore juice a try, keep in mind its effects:

• There’s a high chance you’ll go all crazy bitch on everyone in sight.
• You might smush with someone you wouldn’t normally smush with. Like a grenade. Or your roommate.
• Fights will happen. It’s a guarantee.
• You might hook up with someone of the same sex. Even though you’re straight. Whoops, did not see that last night.
• After all that sugar, I’m willing to bet the hangover the next day is the equivalent to feeling like you’re dying.

Also remember that, according to the Snooks, protocol for properly drinking the Ron-Ron Juice is starting at 8 p.m.

Cheers!

The Situation’s iPhone App Rises to Best Seller List

The Situation’s newly -aunched iPhone application, aptly dubbed “The Situation,” has climbed into Apple’s top 10 grossing apps list since its release last Thursday.

The app, which sells for $4.99 on iTunes, functions as a Jersey Shore companion. It provides a “GTL” finder for on-the-go people in need of finding any gym, tanning bed, or laundromat around the globe, and includes a video game called Grenade Dodger, sound bites of his most awesome quotes, and even an ab workout routine crafted by Sitch himself.

“It’s done extremely well, and we believe it will continue to do so,” Apple spokesperson Adam Matuzich told The Hollywood Reporter, although the massive electronics company would not discuss the exact sales numbers.

Perhaps The Situation was too busy counting his Apple money to practice dancing, and consequently, got roasted by the Dancing With the Stars judges.

‘J-Woww’ Playboy Pictures — Final Offer

Jenni ‘J-Woww’ Farley Playboy pictures are the talk of the Internet, but so far, they’re just talk. But that might be about to change, according to Radar Online. According to
the online gossip website, Jersey Shore’s Jenni ‘J-Woww’ Farley just might be ready to ink a deal with Playboy for $400,000 to pose for naked picutres for the popular men’s magazine. The deal isn’t final but sources have told Radar Online that the offer seems to be standing and is looking good for finalization.

Talk of J-Woww appearing in Playboy has been an ongoing topic for quite some time, both on the Internet and by Jenni ‘J-Woww’ Farley herself. There was talk as far back as January of J-Woww Playboy pictures, including perhaps a cover and a centerfold, appearing in an edition of Playboy to coincide with the Season 2 of her hit MTV reality series Jersey Shore. The talks seemed to intensify after some topless photos of the Jersey Shore beauty surfaced online and there has been steady interest in naked pictures of the ambitious “guidette,” who also has, strangely enough, launched her own clothing line.

Radar Online learned that the brunette has been in negotiations for awhile and that the beginning offer was $200,000. Back-and-forth offers have seen the price for posing rise to $400,000 but that price is contingent on full nudity. It is unclear how much lower the amount would be if J-Woww opts for partially clothed or topless photos, but the deal is said that choosing the option would lower her take.

“Final offer is standing,” J-Woww told E! Online. “Hopefully, it will go through.” She also said that, if the deal is finalized soon, pictures will be available come winter.

Just how much nudity will be involved in the Playboy pictures is anyone’s guess at the moment. There seems to be some reason to believe that Jenni ‘J-Woww’ Farley’s contract with MTV may prohibit the amount of nudity allowed in the Playboy photo shoot.

At the same time, she and Jersey Shore cast mate Nicole ‘Snooki’ Polizzi have been turning down offers to appear on other reality shows. She said both shows were on NBC. Both Jersey Shore girls are holding out for a reality show of their own.
