Your Complete Guide To “Jersey Shore” Knockoff Shows
Why didn’t anyone think of this brilliant idea sooner?! Infiltrate a group of youngsters with similar lineages, ply them with alcohol, and sit back while they exploit the worst stereotypes of their ethnicity/social class/cultural group. Can you blame producers for looking at the success of “Jersey Shore” and seeing dollar signs? (Well, yes, you can. But that’s another post entirely.)
It seems like there are new “Jersey Shore” knockoff shows appearing every week—so many that we can’t keep ‘em all straight. After the jump, we fill you in on next year’s crop of D-list celebs. Keep reading »

Holler! “Jersey Shore” Season 2 Begins Filming
- Get ready for some serious GTL, party people. The cast of “Jersey Shore” is in Miami for the filming of season two and their presence is hardly going unnoticed in South Beach. Yesterday, a full-scale mob gathered outside of the crew’s hotel. This season, the cast will have a security detail with them, which should mean—fewer fights? [NY Post]
- Angelina Pivarnick peaced out of the first season by episode three, but she is back for season two. Just like the other castmates, she signed off Twitter earlier this week since MTV doesn’t allow the roommates to use cell phones or computers while filming. “This is my last tweet,” she wrote. “I just wanna say THANK U for all your love & support, ‘JS2′ is possible because of u. I’m gonna miss ….Lots of love.” Oh dear. The sound of her voice is annoying me already. [Zap 2 It]
Are Asian-Americans Headed To “Jersey Shore”?
A casting call was recently posted to Craigslist in L.A. asking for “interesting, attractive, colorful Asian-Americans to cast in a reality show similar to ‘Jersey Shore,’ ‘The Real World,’ ‘The Hills,’ etc.” An unidentified production company and network are looking to capitalize off the unexpected success of “Jersey Shore,” which debuted last year. This new show will no doubt have bigger-than-life personalities with weird nicknames and unique grooming habits. L.A.’s Koreatown might be the locale for this reality show since the production company is especially interested in individuals who know about or have experienced that neighborhood. This show could be the third “Jersey Shore”-like spinoff in the works — there’s “Brighton Beach,” which focuses on Russian-Americans, and “Sunset Daze,” starring nursing home residents.

“Sunset Daze” Proves Old People Do Still Get It On
As evidenced by the amazingness that was “Jersey Shore,” when you take a group of semi-attractive, outgoing people, put them in a sun-drenched environment and add in loads of alcohol, crazy things happen—mainly lots of hook-ups, oodles of fights, and a seriously questionable hot tub. Apparently, the same is true whether we’re talking about a group of 20-something guidos or a gang of senior citizens. WeTV’s new show, “Sunset Daze,” follows a group of 60-plusers living in Surprise, Arizona—one of the biggest retirement communities in the country. And the cast of the show looks every bit as scandal-tastic as J-Woww, Pauly D and crew. There’s Gail, a 70-something former actress from New York with big hair that would make Snooki jealous. There’s Ann, an Irish ex-nun who talks about her sexual exploits and goes skydiving. There’s Jack, who goes by the nickname “Mr. Romeo” (take that, The Situation) because he’s single and ready to mingle. And there’s Sandy, a member of the Blue Thong Society—whatever that is—who has a matching tattoo with her daughter and always orders a “double Pinot Grigio.” I know I’ll be watching the premiere on Apr. 28. How about you? [NY Daily News, WE TV] Keep reading »
Ugh. Snooki Charged In Friend’s Drunk Driving Death In ’04
Even the deaf and blind know Snooki likes her booze. But yesterday RadarOnline.com revealed exclusively that my favorite “Jersey Shore” guidette was criminally charged in the 2004 drunk driving death of one of her classmates. Ugh! According to Radar, Snooks (neé Nicole Polizzi) hosted a drinking party in her mom’s basement the night before Thanksgiving in 2004 and she sold alcohol to minors. Sadly, one of her guests, Marlboro High School senior Michael Truncali, died early Thanksgiving morning after leaving her house and was found to have a blood alcohol level over twice the legal limit.

MTV Wants The “Jersey Shore” Cast Sober
MTV is continuing its efforts to rein in the cast of “Jersey Shore.” Last month, it was rumored that MTV was limiting the Seaside Heightsers to two appearances a week. Now, they’ve apparently whittled that number to one. And … they’ve asked the cast not to drink at said appearances, which is kind of like asking a fish not to get wet in the water. But, apparently, it’s working. In Boston over the weekend, J-Woww stayed sober at a party, saying, “MTV doesn’t want [the cast] to drink.” But she’s not playing by all the rules, of course. “She is booking some stuff ‘under the radar’ and has seven appearances next week,” said a source. “North Carolina, Florida, Buffalo and Cancun were a few of the places she mentioned.”
Wait, I still can’t get over the no alcohol part. MTV did see the show, right? Without booze, it would be boring as all get out. Let’s just say that “gym, tan, laundry” minus the partying is far less interesting. Keep reading »
“Jersey Shore” Brings More Guido Flair To The Best Picture Nominees
As you may have heard through The Frisky grapevine, the cast of “Jersey Shore” is doing a series of Best Picture nominee spoofs in the days leading up to the Oscars. Well, now we have three more videos—let us consider it a gift from the guido gods. Check out Snooki doing her best Brad Pitt in “Inglourious Basterds” impression, only this time, instead of killing Nazis the crew is dedicated to killing brain cells. So true, Snooki, so true. [TBS]
Check out the other two videos after the jump, and see how these supposed Italian-Americans take on “Avatar.” Keep reading »
