The first season of “Jersey Shore” will also be available — completely uncensored, BTW — on DVD, the same day the soundtrack hits stores: July 20. And, of course, the second season of the show , which follows Snooki, the Situation, JWoww, DJ Pauly D and the gang down to Miami’s South Beach before returning to their now-famous house in Seaside Heights, will premiere on Thursday, July 29 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on MTV. Don’t miss the ‘Jersey Shore’ Soundtrack, available July 20. Season two of “Jersey Shore” premieres Thursday, July 29, at 10 p.m. ET/PT on MTV. Be there! Related Artists Enrique Iglesias Pitbull

Rapper J-Kwon Is Alive And Well

‘Tipsy’ rapper hadn’t been heard from in a month, prompting his record label to search for him. By Shaheem Reid J-Kwon Photo: Scott Gries/ Getty Images J-Kwon is alive and well, according to his manager and publicist. On Wednesday, we reported that his friends, family and business associates were highly concerned because no one had been able to reach the St. Louis-born rapper for about a month. His record label, Gracie Productions, even set up the Twitter page @WhereIsJKwon so fans could write in with any info they had. A few of Kwon’s business associates were even going door to door Wednesday in hopes of locating their missing friend. The 24-year-old must have seen the news, because he reached out to his loved ones. According to his rep, the rapper sent his apologies to anyone he worried. Kwon’s manager and co-CEO of Gracie, Dorian Washington, issued a statement Thursday afternoon (March 4): “I am very happy to let everyone know that I personally spoke with J-Kwon today, and he is OK. He’d like to send a sincere apology to his friends and everyone who showed concern this week. He was taking some time to himself as he sometimes does, not realizing that people would start to worry after a while. A few days out of touch versus a month is quite a difference. Right now, he just wants to keep doing what he’s doing and will be more available for those who care about him. We thank you again for your outreach, and we are relieved to know he’ll be all right.” J-Kwon rocketed into the rap game in 2004 with the club hit “Tipsy.” He is scheduled to release a self-titled album at the end of the month.
