Posted on August 8, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Watch out, Seaside Heights. And call the police in advance. Why? There’s a new Guidette in town: Deena Nicole Cortese. MTV has confirmed that Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi’s real-life BFF, who has also been referred to as simply Deena Nicole , will join the Jersey Shore cast in Season 3. The new cast member has been all but confirmed in recent weeks, but the network has not acknowledged bringing her on board until now. What can we expect? Cortese describes herself as “class in a glass and party in a body,” so you know it’s going to be good. She’s already started filming and partying with the crew. Deena and Snook are totes BFFs . Deena has been seen shooting scenes with her girl Snooki , as well as the classy likes of co-stars Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino and Jenni “J-Woww” Farley. “Deena Cortese embodies the quintessential Jersey Shore archetype,” Jersey Shore casting director Doron Ofir recently told The Examiner of his new star. The new star, who is single, “is a Jersey native, proud to live, play, love at the shore. I hope America loves her as much as I do. Get ready for ‘Rockstar’!” Live, Play, Love. In other words, Scream, Fight, Bone .

‘Jersey Shore’ Newbie Deena Fits In With Castmates, Snooki Says

Posted on August 7, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

‘Not [just] anybody can survive in this house,’ Snooks says of her pal. By Mawuse Ziegbe, with reporting by Audrey Kim Deena Nicole Cortese Photo: MTV News Deena Nicole Cortese is looking to make a splash as the newest addition to the “Jersey Shore” house. The New Jersey native, who originally auditioned for season one of the guido-fest, has been pals with Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi, for two years. When the chance to party on the boardwalk with her rowdy bestie presented itself, Cortese said she jumped at the opportunity. “When [Snooki] invited me down I was just like, ‘I’m down the shore anyway. This is what I do for a good time always,'” Cortese reasoned, adding that she has tons of experience living it up in Seaside Heights. “I lose jobs because I’m down the shore so much,” she said. “So, I was like, ‘You know what. I’m packing my bags, let’s go.’ ” She may be ready to party like her friend but unlike Snooki, Cortese isn’t combing beachside bashes for a relationship. “I snook for love and she snooks for a good time,” Snooki said. Cortese concurred, adding that she’s not looking for a gorilla to call her own anytime soon. “We’re two peas in a pod but a little bit different,” she said. Cortese plans to help her girl in her quest for seaside romance but insisted viewers won’t catch the two scrapping over the same juicehead. “We won’t step on each other’s toes,” Cortese said. The 23-year-old is stepping into a house packed with colorful personalities including Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino, Jenni “JWoww” Farley and Paul “DJ Pauly D” Del Vecchio. Cortese said her chill nature sets her apart from the crew. “I’m different because I’m just a personable person. I don’t take things to heart. People can make fun of me ’til the day I die and I will just take it in and be like, ‘Yeah, you know what? Whatever,’ ” Cortese laughed. “I just don’t care what people think and I think that’s what everybody in the house loves about me. They can bust on me all the time and the next day I’ll just be like, ‘Alright, get real.’ ” Snooki said that Cortese fits right in with the “Shore” collective and that her transition into the cast has been drama-free. “Not [just] anybody can survive in this house and the fact that the first 24 hours that I brought her in … everything was cool I was like, ‘Alright, this is gonna be a good summer,’ ” Snooki said. What are you looking forward to seeing from “Jersey Shore” castmember Deena? Let us know in the comments below! Don’t miss “Jersey Shore” every Thursday at 10 p.m. ET/PT on MTV.

Posted on August 6, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

New Jersey native is a longtime friend of Snooki’s. By Kelley L. Carter Deena Nicole Cortese There’s a new guidette in the house, and she’s ready to party. On Friday (August 6), MTV announced that New Jersey native Deena Nicole Cortese has joined the cast of “Jersey Shore.” A longtime friend of show favorite Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi, Cortese is currently shooting with the rest of the crew in Seaside Heights, New Jersey. She joins the original castmembers, which includes Snooki, Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino, Jenni “JWoww” Farley, Ronnie Magro, Sammi “Sweetheart” Giancola, Pauly “DJ Pauly D” Del Vecchio and Vinny Guadagnino. The Cortese news was revealed at the Friday meeting of the Television Critics Association. Cortese, 23, describes herself as “class in a glass and party in a body.” (There’s no word on whether she, too, has a Snooki-esque nickname.) If possible, she plans to bring even more partying to the hit series. “I bring a lot of energy into the house,” she told The Associated Press. “I party.” The second season of the reality series premiered last week to a record-breaking 5.3 million viewers. The eight housemates are currently in Miami, heating up the Florida club scene and creating at-home drama. Are you excited to get some fresh blood in the “Jersey Shore” house?

Jersey Shore Fresh-to-Death Report Card: Grades N’ Grenades

Posted on August 6, 2010 by | Leave a comment

After last week’s inaugural Fresh-to-Death Report Card, I realized something about Jersey Shore : It is unfair to rank the Guidos. You can’t place Snooki’s talking-Chicken-McNugget antics ahead of Pauly D’s ones-and-twos-mixing-thereupon. It’s not right. This week we’re assigning marks based on the Guido Credos of GTL, BPB, IFF (new this episode), and dramatic excellence. Who gets an A? An F? Grades are posted after the break.

‘Jersey Shore’ Etiquette On Tank Tops, Body Spray And Protecting Your Roomies

Posted on August 6, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Lessons learned from new season of ‘Jersey Shore.’ By Rochell Thomas Snooki and J-Woww on “Jersey Shore” on Thursday Photo: MTV You can learn a lot from a juicehead. At least Jim Cantiello can. Last night our intrepid pop-culture reporter — who was inspired by Snookie and company to visit the Panhandle state — took copious notes on the “Jersey Shore” rules of etiquette. Chief among his lessons learned: Wife beaters are strictly pre-club attire. Got that? According to the Situation, the T-shirt of choice of the brah set is round-the-house wear only. “We wear them before we go out,” Sitch explained. “Right before we go out, we take off the tanks and put on our fresh shirts.” The second lesson of the night came courtesy of Pauly D, who made it very clear that a real Jersey Shore man doesn’t need water to bathe. Apparently, an aerosol can of an Axe-like body spray will suffice. Before their night on the town, Pauly did his personal best to fist-pump the hole in the ozone layer over Florida by spritzing his entire body with the stuff. (Ecosystem? What ecosystem?). Now we know Pauly D is that guy — you know, the one you smell a few seconds before you see him. Greaaat. The third note of the night? Not everyone gets the Situation — especially in Miami. When Mike tries to order pizza, the delivery man thought he was joking when he gave his name. Welcome to Miami, Sitch. Also good to know: Blaming it on the al, al-al-alco, alchohol never gets old. After last week’s brazen three-way kiss in the club, slut puppy Ronnie went home and bragged that he was going to “smush” his ex. “Are you asleep?” he asked an obviously snoozing Sammie before climbing into her bed. When confronted about his free-loving behavior the next day, Ron-Ron used the too-much-booze excuse for his behavior, claiming he blacked out. But the biggest lesson learned from last night’s episode comes courtesy of Angelina, who found out that mack-squashing and jaw-smacking are no way to build a friendship. After having one or two (or 10) too many, the most hated roomie on South Beach (JWoww told her to sleep with one eye open) decided she would watch out for her boy Pauly by thwarting his attempts to hook up with women. She called it “warning” him. He said she was “co–blocking.” She responded by saying that she loved him and wanted to marry him. Then she slapped him for emphasis. Oh, Ang … violence never solves anything. What did you think of last night’s episode of “Jersey Shore”? Let us know in the comments! Watch “Jersey Shore” Thursdays at 10 p.m. ET on MTV.

Jersey Shore Recap: It’s T-Shirt Time!

Posted on August 6, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

As Jersey Shore goes, Season 2, Episode 2 (“The Hangover”) was not among the greatest. How could it be with the primary focus on Sammi and Ronnie? While Ronnie pretended not to remember what he did the night before, Sammi gave him the cold shoulder … until she came around for the 293rd time. Also heavily featured in this week’s episode? Angelina Pivarnick. Like Sammi and Ronnie, she really needs an intervention, or a just ticket home ASAP. At a certain point it’s just boring and annoying. Meltdowns are supposed to be fun to watch, right? Though we suppose JWoww may still throw down. Anyway, here’s The Hollywood Gossip ‘s scientific plus-minus recap … Ronnie, on hooking up with land mines and grenades in the premiere: “Yo, I was doin’ mad work tonight bro! Mad work!” Yo, you’re a douche, bro! Minus 8 . Vinny says one of Ronnie’s hookups plays tight end for the Giants. Plus 4 . Pauly D coins another gem: “Ronnie’s new nickname is IFF. The I’m F*%ked Foundation. He’s a client and the president!” Plus 7 , because it’s funny and true. For a girl nicknamed Sweetheart, Sammi really isn’t that nice. Minus 16 . We’re just saying. These girls are all catty, but she’s miserable and not even funny. JWoww at the tranny store: “The sex shop is perfect. Perfect … It’s my scene. And when I get into my scene I get into my clothes.” What clothes? Minus 6 . After buying a $395 pair of sunglasses, Snooki walks around blind, seeks pickles, ruins dinner, and does a half-ass job cleaning it up. Standard. Plus 9 . Delivery guy: What’s the name? Mike: Situation. S-i-t-u-a-t-i-o-n. Plus 5 . Snooki and JWoww confront Angelina about smack-talk pertaining to their friends/boyfriends. JWoww threatens violence many, many times. Plus 13 . Give it a rest, you guys. Seriously . Pauly D’s new boss is concerned about his hair. His response: “This hair ain’t movin’ my dude. 150 miles per hour on the highway on a street bike. Doesn’t move. What makes you think it’s gonna move in a gelato shop?” Amen. Plus 14 . The Situation introduces the shirt-before-the-shirt concept: “We have an abundance of wife beaters … we wear before we go out. Then it’s T-shirt time. Right before we go out we take off the tank and then we put on our fresh shirt.” Plus 11 . At the club, The Situation gets bitten while making out with a panty-less drunk girl. Happens to the best of us on Thursday nights. Hang in there. Minus 4 . Pauly D hooks up with a girl who, according to Angelina, is married. She confronts him about this, apparently unaware that 1. She used to date a married guy herself, and 2. Pauly D obviously doesn’t care, girl! Chill! Plus 7 . After professing her love to Pauly D (seriously), Ange proceeds to SLAP HIM. Minus 19 for being generally insane, and Minus 12 more for this being the most pathetic slap ever. Everyone hates you anyway … put your back into it! Plus 3 for next week’s promo. After this week, it should be hilariously awkward. TOTAL: +8 . SEASON: +34 . Follow this link for the night’s Jersey Shore quotes !

‘Jersey Shore’ Fans In Miami Weigh In On Change Of Scenery

Posted on August 5, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

‘They bring a little life to Miami,’ one fan tells MTV News. By Mawuse Ziegbe Cast of “Jersey Shore” Photo: MTV After bar-brawling, club-hopping and GTL-ing their way to pop-culture stardom, the “Jersey Shore” kids had to take things to the next level in season two. So the crew upped the ante by taking the drama to another shore. In the second season of the MTV reality hit, which kicked off last week, the gang fist-pumps its way through Miami, and for the most part, South Beach fans have been enjoying the party. “I love ‘Jersey Shore.’ It’s … crazy,” Francisco Santander told MTV News. Denise Mata concurred: “[There is] always drama there, and it’s fun to watch [the] fights and them getting drunk, and it’s just funny to me.” The “Shore” crew has partied its way into fans’ hearts but has also weathered criticism that the super-tanned, party-startin’ housemates — who proudly champion the term “guidos” — reinforce Italian stereotypes. David Gliottone enjoys the craziness but has issues with their image. “I like the fact that they’re Italian,” Gliottone said. ” I don’t like the way that they act sometimes, [because] I think it kind of brings a negative vibe to the Italian community.” Nora Weinberg said she thinks the “Shore” stars should keep the drama up north, but added that it’s cool they’re branching out beyond the boardwalk. “I think they should be in Jersey, but I think it’s fun that they can go to Miami,” she said. George Ott said the crew’s antics have reached beyond the shores of both Jersey and Miami to score fans Down Under. “[I’m a] huge fan of the show in New Zealand,” Ott said. “[I] love the boys [and] JWoww.” As entertaining as fans find the cast’s beachside escapades, one viewer said the “Jersey Shore” crew may have brought too much heat to Miami. “I think the ‘Jersey Shore’ cast is really crazy and outgoing and they bring a little life to Miami,” Cassandra said. “But they need to stick to Jersey because they’re not supposed to be here doing that stuff. You don’t see that here in Miami.” What do you think about the “Jersey Shore” cast being in Miami? Let us know in the comments below! Don’t miss “Jersey Shore” every Thursday at 10 p.m. ET/PT on MTV.
