Vinny Gaudagnino and The Situation returned to their Jersey Shore SUV to find that SOMEONE had taped a sign on the back that said “Gay Men On Board.” They look flabbergasted, but they’re not laughing. Who did it? They removed the sign but Jenni thought it was funny and when they weren’t looking she put it back on.

Jenni JWoww and The Situation stopped for a quick breakfast on their way to the gym this morning. Snooki must be sleeping late. For the third week in a row, Jersey Shore has been the MOST WATCHED TV show in New York- beating out all the top ten regulars like “60 Minutes.” According to Nielsen, the show had an astounding audience of 800,000 viewers. Keep in mind, New Yorkers consider themselves the most sophisticated people in the world.
We’re not certain that the phrase “the cream is rising to the top” is appropriate in this case, but the most popular of the Jersey Shore gang are making out like bandits in their new contract negotiations. The whole gang refused to work on the show last weekend until they have signed contracts. MTV wants the incredibly successful show to continue into a 3rd season and they are arguing that if the stars are wealthy they won’t be so likeable or appealing. That doesn’t fly with the Jersey kids who want to cash in while they can. Snooki, The Situation, and Pauly D are the most popular of the group. (Note they are seated dead center in The View photo above) They are expected to at least triple their current $10,000 per episode salaries. Snooki and The Situation have already settled on deals they like and Pauly D will soon follow. If the “less important” members of the Jersey cast ask for too much, they might not be invited to return. And if there is a big difference in salaries, how will it affect their relationships? MTV has a lot to consider.
Rivalry is starting to rear it’s ugly bobble head and it’s dividing up the Jersey Shore kids. Only three of the eight reality stars have been chosen to be made into bobble headed talking dolls. It’s clear that The Situation, Snooki, and Pauly D are the break-out stars of the show and those left out – Vinny, Sammi Sweetheart, Jenni JWoWW, Ronnie, and Angelina – are not happy. The dolls, by Funko, are now on sale for 11.99.
The Situation (Mike Sorrentino) says he refuses to stoop to the level of Joy Behar. Joy has frequently ripped the Jersey Shore clan as “reflecting badly on Italian-Americans” and when the crew guested on “The View,” she bluntly advised them to “Save your money.” The Situation made an appearance in Minneapolis at Bootleggers bar and our inquisitive colleague in gossip, CJ from the Star-Tribune, asked him about Behar’s frequent negative comments. Mike responded with guido tact “If you don’t like somebody’s show – change the channel and shut your mouth!” He added that he IS saving his money.

It’s nice to see the Jersey Shore kids out of their element and smack in the middle of Hollywood at Voyeur. Despite complaints about the show from SOME Italian-Americans, the paparazzi – and other clubgoers- greeted them with flashes and open arms. That’s Pauly D (he’s hoping Playgirl will call him for a layout) with The Situation, Snookie, who got punched, and Jenni JWoww. The Situation couldn’t resist flaunting his muscles in a wife-beater even on a chilly night.
