‘Jersey Shore’ Season-Two Preview Teases The Gang’s Miami Road Trip

New season premieres July 29 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on MTV. By Todd Gilchrist Snooki in season two of “Jersey Shore” Photo: MTV News Can’t wait till July 29 for the “Jersey Shore” season-two premiere? Well, MTV News debuted an exclusive 13-minute clip from the new season during the MTV Movie Awards pre-show. Starting with a short recap of some of season one’s juiciest moments, fans can take a look at the setup of the new season and check in and see where the Shore-mates have been since the end of the last one. As an epic snowstorm descends on the Eastern Seaboard, the castmembers decide to head South to Miami, where they intend to bring their fist-pumping action to the topless beaches. Snooki reveals that “when she was done Snookin’ for love, she found an amazing gorilla juicehead,” with whom she’s enjoyed a two-month romance. But she says she’s open to getting in trouble, as long as the drinks are flowing down in Miami. “I feel like I’m going to be like a tornado — going from place to place destroying things.” After Snooki’s juicehead helps cover her in self-tanner — which she astutely points out that President Obama has raised taxes on — she and JWoww depart in a black SUV to make the trek down to Florida for season-two fun. Meanwhile, “brothers from another mother” Pauly D and “The Situation” hope to arrive in time to enjoy their pick of the plush Miami digs, but the duo make a detour in Myrtle Beach, where they load up on fireworks. Unfortunately, Pauly’s SUV gets stuck in the mud, and although they pass the time launching bottle rockets into the sky as an SOS for AAA, it ultimately takes two tow trucks and a new pair of Nikes to get Pauly and Sitch back on the road again. In another vehicle, Sammi “Sweetheart” announces unceremoniously that she and her season-one fella, Ronnie, have parted ways, and the two mutually agreed to be single. (We look forward to seeing how well that works out.) Ronnie in particular seems ready to be unfettered by long-term female companionship, although one of his well-wishing buddies warns him about “double-baggers,” girls whose attractiveness is so questionable that they require the guy to wear a bag over his head “in case hers falls off.” Finally, there’s Angelina, the self-professed “Kim Kardashian of Staten Island.” She announces that she’s looking forward to season two because she’s hoping it will give her a chance to “show everybody the real Angelina — not just the bitchy side.” That said, she freely admits that “the bitch of Staten Island is back and f—ing ready to party!” While Pauly and Sitch struggle to free themselves from the South Carolina mud, Snooki and JWoww arrive at a bar in Savannah, Georgia, where they try out local delicacies and turn down romantic advances. As they dine on fried pickles, a guy approaches with a pair of shot glasses and joins them for a drink. Snooki suggests that the guy “f—s his sister for a living,” but JWoww is a little kinder, saying he does not know how to hit on girls. If their opinions seem a little cruel, take comfort in the fact that the guy eventually offers his own version of iconic Jersey fist-pumping, which more or less earns all the criticisms that they volunteer about him. Check out the full clip online at midnight ET. Relive the wildest, funniest and most-jaw-dropping moments of the 2010 MTV Movie Awards, watch revealing red-carpet interviews and get exclusive movie clips after the show at MovieAwards.MTV.com . Season two of “Jersey Shore” premieres Thursday, July 29, at 10 p.m. ET/PT on MTV. Be there!

Woman Finds Her Kidnapped Kids 15 Years Later Using Facebook

15 years ago, a California woman's husband kidnapped their three-year-old daughter and two-year-old son. Six years ago Facebook launched. A few months ago, the woman tracked down her kids on the social networking site. From the sounds of it, the woman just happened to search for her daughter's name on Facebook and found her profile. After exchanging messages with the girl, the mother contacted the office of San Bernardino Deputy District Attorney Kurt Rowley. The folks there were able to establish that the children were in Florida and move them into the custody of the Department of Children and Families after arresting the father. The children have since then been put into the custody of their Facebook-savvy mother. [Wesh] added by: cclark_productions

Howard Stern’s sidekick Artie Lange hospitalized after suicide attempt

Stand-up comic, published author and co-star of The Howard Stern radio show Artie Lange was quietly rushed to the hospital Sunday night . At that time, there was no further explanation and Stern remained tight-lipped about it on his show. But now, Page Six is reporting that the troubled comedian, who has a long history of drug and alcohol abuse, gambling addiction and depression, tried to commit suicide by cutting himself nine times. Troubled comic Artie Lange landed in the hospital after stabbing himself nine times in an apparent suicide attempt, sources told The Post. Lange’s frantic mom called 911 Saturday morning after she entered his Hoboken apartment and found the bloodied funnyman, a law-enforcement source said. Lange sustained six “hesitation wounds” and three deep plunges. A source close to Lange’s management team confirmed that the Howard Stern sidekick stabbed himself, adding that his mother had come to visit him that day to drop off food. Surgeons managed to save Lange despite heavy bleeding. “We all have our demons,” Stern said on-air this week, referring to Lange’s past battles with addiction. “Artie has given this show tremendous moments of great comedy. He’s a tremendous contributor. He is a good man. Don’t forget how great he is.” [From Page Six] Lange is a textbook example of a “Crying on the inside” comedian. Love him or hate him, this is pretty darn sad. Stabbing yourself is a desperate act, indicative of someone at the end of their rope. Anyone who listens to the show knows that Artie has been in a bad way for quite some time, but hasn’t been ready to do the work needed to stay off drugs, treat his depression and take better care of himself. At least, not for more than a couple of weeks at a time. I hope he takes some time off and focuses on his mental and physical health.

Florida and the Olive Garden

Here are pics from our most recent swing through Florida and our dinner at the Olive Garden in Orlando. Later this week, we’ll have more from Florida and New Mexico . Also, we will be at our cabin in Sedona for a few days (this time without reporters) and promise to share some pics of the family! Song of the Day: “Nightmares + Lullabies” by Six Red Carpets (Their self-produced album is awesome and they have a wonderfully independent sound. Be sure to visit their site and give a listen!)

Against Me!’s White Crosses Looks Back To The Future

‘Writing this record, I spent a lot of time reflecting,’ frontman Tom Gabel tells MTV News. By James Montgomery Against Me! Photo: MTV News With 2007’s New Wave, Against Me! detonated the very notion of what it meant to be a “punk” act. Released on a very major label (Reprise Records) and produced by a very famous name (Butch Vig), the album featured big hooks, even bigger studio sheen and a boy/girl duet thrown in for good measure. For all the polish, frontman Tom Gabel’s snarl remained just as gruff as ever, and the targets AM! set their sights on — the impotence of the music industry, the ineffectiveness of the government, the embarrassment of peace-ified protest songs in an increasingly violent time — very much encompassed the scope of “the man’s” wrongs, circa the last days of the Bush administration. Which is to say that, no matter what AM!’s (many) detractors liked to say about it, Wave was still very much a punk album — and quite the forward-thinking one, at that. But when it came time to record the follow-up, Gabel didn’t find himself looking toward the future once again. Quite the opposite, in fact. “Writing this record, I spent a lot of time reflecting,” he told MTV News. “I spent a lot of time thinking about people I used to know, places I used to hang out, things I used to do — I grew up in the anarcho-punk scene, and I had many experiences in that — so that almost couldn’t help but show up on this record.” And the result of all that reflecting is White Crosses (due June 8), an album that matches the bombast of New Wave but, rather than pushing the envelope forward, is resigned to be a rather curdled love letter to Gabel’s punk-rock past. Songs like the title track, “I Was a Teenage Anarchist” and “Because of the Shame” detail his time spent kicking around suburban Florida as a knotty crust punk, and none of them are exactly what you’d call “fond remembrances.” It’s as if, by looking back, Gabel is even more disgusted by the punk scene. And when coupled with the fact that AM! wrap his barbs in a musical m
