We are FASCINATED by the news that the Gotti boys, John, Frank, and Carmine, are returning to TV for one night on A&E’s “Growing Up Gotti: Ten Years Later.” (Nov 10) Hard to believe it’s been ten years since we watched those Long Island teenagers arguing about their hair gel and eating like wild animals. Their accents were so thick that the series had subtitles to translate. The Gotti mansion was lost in a bank foreclosure so maybe we’ll find out where Victoria lives now. Two of the brothers have girlfriends and one is engaged. Can’t WAIT to find out what they do for a living!

THE “GROWING UP GOTTI” BOYS ARE RETURNING TO TV AS MEN!

Yes, the Gottis are making a major TV comeback. Victoria Gotti is a contestant on “Celebrity Apprentice,” and her three sons have a new reality series tentatively titled “Made Men.” You might remember the boys from “Growing Up Gotti” which aired on A&E from 2004 to 5. At that time they were noted for their garish home, hair products use, and accents so thick that subtitles were mandatory. Carmine, John, and Frank are now 25, 24, and 22, respectively, and after assorted aborted career attempts, they are now running a metal recycling business in Queens and STILL LIVING WITH THEIR MOTHER Victoria. We wonder if the boys will be as appealing now that they’re older and hairier (except for the eyebrows………)

MTV’S “JERSEY SHORE” SEEMS LIKE A SPIN-OFF OF “GROWING UP GOTTI”

We needed something to fill the gap when “Growing Up Gotti” went off the air and now we have it: “Jersey Shore.” MTV put eight twentysomething Italians (four guys and four girls) from the New York area into a summer share at the Jersey shore, equipped with a hot tub and other amenities. It’s walking distance from the beach and bars, so these self-described “guidos” and “guidettes” just party all the time. One of the guys, Pauly D, even LOOKS like a Gotti with his gelled hair, fake tan, and gold jewelry. Like “Growing Up Gotti,” this show also has subtitles because there’s a lot of sloppy diction, but it’s fun to see how this subculture carries on.

WHO DIDN'T LOVE GROWING UP GOTTI?

Seeing this photo of Victoria Gotti’s son Carmine and his fancy car brought back a rush of memories of “Growing Up Gotti.” We realize how much we MISS that show! Why did it ever go off the air, anyway? Can’t we get those boys on other reality shows as bachelors or chefs or whatever? We were most fascinated by all the yelling (not to mention the much-needed subtitles) that went on in their house and when they had those big “homemade” Italian dinners they were served out of huge aluminum foil catering trays on the table. Not to mention the eyebrows. Now that the house has been foreclosed upon, maybe they’ll be motivated to get another show.

CARMINE GOTTI AGNELLO IS SERIOUS ABOUT RAPPING

carminecutgotti.jpgWe were surprised to her that that Growing Up Gotti kid Carmine Gotti Agnello, who just turned 21, is coming out with a rap album. His rap alias is C. Gotti and he already has a deal with Ruff Ryders (DMX, Jadakiss and Cassidy.) Music insiders say it’s not a bad venture for Ruff Ryders because Carmine will pull in a whole new group of potential music buyers. Maybe. But we bet that Dapper Don John Gotti is spinning in his grave.
