Follow-Up: Angelina vs. Snooki?

Looks like we could have a good old fashioned CAT FIGHT on our hands here.

After Snooki's AWESOME performance at WWE WrestleMania on Sunday night, Jersey Shore co-star Angelia has spoken out and accused Snooki of copying her by jumping into the "squared circle".

For those who don't know, Angelina has been trying to make a name for herself in the wrasslin' biz with the WWE's rival company TNA Wrestling.

Angelina even went as far as to call Snooki "a fat troll who should never wear those shorts...or be in a wrestling ring."

As an interesting little side-note: Angelina's last appearance on "TNA Impact Wrestling" also happened to be the LOWEST RATED SEGMENT of that episode.

We all know there's only one way to settle this...right?

Snooki...A Wrestling Star?

As much as I hate to admit it, I'm a bit of a fan of WWE Wrestling. And when I heard that Snooki from Jersey Shore had been signed for a match at yesterday's Wrestlemania 27 (alongside Trish Stratus & John Morrison - who are ACTUAL WWE Superstars) I was skeptical and expected it to be total crap.

Again, I hate admitting I was wrong...but I was wrong. Snooki actually managed to hold her own in the ring, even scoring the "victory" by pinning opponent Michelle McCool after an impressive series of somersaults & flips. Check it out:



Snooki's athletic ability really shouldn't come as a surprise though: She did participate in gymnastics until she was 13 and was the captain of her high school cheerleading squad.

Who knew?

Jersey Shore...Off To Italy?

I'm no expert, but THIS has "International Incident" written all over it.

Seems the cast of Jersey Shore is headed to their homeland; MTV has revealed that the guidos and guidettes who're famous for fist-pumping, heavy drinking, hard partying and GTL-ing are headed overseas to Italy to shoot a few episodes of the show.

MTV programming Vice President Chris Linn said that sending the cast to Europe "is a fresh spin on a show that continues to reach new heights for us."

Fans are thrilled but several Italian/American groups are concerned that the guys and gals of the Jersey Shore might not put their best foot forward. These same groups are already upset about the show and have launched a boycott claiming the show exploits Italian/American heritage.

Season 4 of MTV's Jersey Shore is set to air later in 2011.

Introducing "The Mini-Guidos"

Apparently someone decided it would be a good idea to dress their kids up as the cast of "Jersey Shore" for Halloween this year. They then posted a picture of the kids to Twitter and sent the tweet to JWoww - which she decided to re-tweet to the entire world.

Do you think this counts as child abuse?

If You Buy This I Will Slap You. Seriously.

I was going to try to make a joke about this. But seriously, why bother.

If you - or anyone you know - actually buys this, I will track you down and slap you right in the mouth.

I'm not kidding.

Maybe They're Not TOTAL Attention Whores?

Oh, who are we kidding...of course they are.

There's a story circulating that (allegedly) Jenni "JWoww" Farley has turned down an offer to pose for Playboy Magazine. According to an article in The Huffington Post, JWoww declined $400,000 to pose nude for the magazine.

There's also a rumor that Snooki & JWoww have moved in together and there's the possibilty of a spin-off of "The Jersey Shore".

Lord have mercy on us all.

It's Called A "Snooki"...And It's Quite Famous

You have NO idea how long I've been waiting for this: South Park FINALLY decided to take a shot at "Jersey Shore" this week...and it was absolutely BRILLIANT!!!

XXX Snooki? Another Sign Of The Apocolypse?

Don't worry...it's not what you think. Thank God.

Jersey Shore "star" Snooki has been offered $100,000 to be the spokesperson for porn provider FleshDrive:

According to a letter sent to her agent Sept. 23, FleshDrive wants Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi, 22, to perform a non-sexual role as the “face” of the company.

“Our company image is that we pack a big punch in a little package,” Vice President of Sales Michael Gruosso wrote in the letter. “Who better to endorse our product than the woman who does exactly that? 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. By merging Snooki with the FleshDrive, we know Snooki will make a great amount of money by doing very little

What's awesome about this is that they go out of their way to say she WON'T be appearing in any films AND that they point out she'll make a ton of money for doing nothing.

Go with what you know, I guess...ha ha!

Be A Guidette...Make $2200?

Those morons from MTV's "Jersey Shore" are EVERYWHERE these days. But that didn't translate into big bucks for them right off the bat.

"Parade" magazine dropped its annual "What People Earn" edition yesterday . . . and they say the show's breakout star, NICOLE "SNOOKI" POLIZZI, only banked $2,200 in 2009. That's $200 per episode for the first season of "Jersey Shore" . . . which shot last year and aired from December of '09 through this past January. There were 11 episodes in all.

It's not clear if that's ALL the money Snooki made in '09, or if that's all she made from the show. Either way, she'll earn a lot more this year. Shooting on Season Two is currently underway, and cast members are now being paid a reported $10,000 per episode.

Plus, ever since "Jersey Shore" blew up, she and other members of the cast have been able to make big bucks from personal appearances.

A New Cast Of Fist Pumpers?

Representatives for two members of the "Jersey Shore" cast say that contract negotiations with MTV are going, quote, "smoothly" . . . and are denying a rumor that MTV has threatened to replace anyone who holds out for more money.

Earlier yesterday, "sources" told TMZ that the cast was playing hardball, and attempting to negotiate as a group . . . in order to squeeze more money out of MTV. But MTV told them that their last offer . . . of $10,000 per episode each, plus a $10,000 signing bonus . . . was their FINAL offer. And they had until last night to agree to the terms. Anyone who agreed could stay. Anyone who didn't was GONE.

The entire cast is actually contractually obligated to do a second season, so MTV doesn't have to give them a raise at all. But in situations like this, when a show becomes a runaway hit, the network usually does something to reward the cast.

DJ PAULY D'S manager says the cast is in negotiations with the network, but that he isn't aware of any deadline. And SNOOKI'S manager says that the cast has, quote, "worked closely with each other throughout this," but he's unaware of a, quote, "all for one, one for all" situation.

That being said, would it really be hard to find a new bunch of "Guido's" and "Guidette's"? Not likely.
