HIAM video is going to be incredible to say the least. More to come,” he tweeted Wednesday. Also on Wednesday, Britney Spears thanked fans for all the support they’ve been showing the lead single from Brit’s March album. “Couldn’t of asked for a better 1/11/11..thanks to all my fans and all of the radio stations for playing HIAM!” she wrote . “I am truly blessed…” On Tuesday, the same day the song was up for purchase on iTunes, it launched straight to #1 on the site and quickly broke all previous radio records for the most spins in the first day of release. “Top 40 outlets across the country immediately put ‘Hold It Against Me’ in rotation and received instant-reaction airplay at America’s most-influential stations, including Z100 and WXRK in New York and KIIS and KAMP in Los Angeles,” radio-industry analyst Kevin McCabe said in a statement.

‘Jersey Shore’ Rookie Deena Cortese: ‘I’m Not Going Anywhere’

Posted on January 13, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Spitfire Jersey girl makes a big impression on the reality-TV show, landing on MTV News’ 11 for ’11. By Jocelyn Vena Deena Nicole Cortese Photo: Josh Kessler Deena Cortese came into the “Jersey Shore” house like a self-proclaimed “Energizer Bunny.” She’s left an impression after only one episode, so it looks like we’ll be seeing a lot of Deena in 2011 — but hopefully not quite as much as the Situation saw on the Jersey girl’s first day in the house. “You never know what you’re going to get. It’s great,” Deena told MTV News about her addition to the house. “I’m very kindhearted, and I’m like a kid at heart. That’s just me. I love life, and I show how much I love life. I’m just being myself.” Deena seemed like a welcome addition to the house after the many ups and downs the cast had with former housemate Angelina. “Me and Angelina have no similarities at all,” Cortese explained. “We’re very different. We’re completely opposite, like oil and vinegar. I’m very positive. There are ups and downs in the house, but I don’t provoke things. I just like everything to be a good time. Positive energy is a blast.” Then again, she did have that run-in with Sammi right off the bat that proves that Deena is the kind of reality-TV spitfire that 2011 needs. “I felt like, ‘You know, what? I’m not going anywhere, I’m not leaving early. I’m here to stay — get out of here!’ ” Deena recalled of the Sammi confrontation. “So that’s what I did. I just put my foot down and was like, ‘Don’t laugh at me. Get real!’ ” At the end of the day, the “walking holiday,” as she likes to call herself, just wants everyone to get along. “We’re like brothers and sisters. You fight and then the next day you’re like, ‘Wait, what happened?’ ” she said. “We’re really like family.” Check out MTV News’ 11 for ’11 — actors, musicians and TV stars who are about to have a huge year — all week long. Don’t miss “Jersey Shore,” airing Thursday nights at 10 p.m. ET on MTV. Related Videos MTV News’ 11 for ’11 Related Photos Jersey Shore | Back To Jersey | Cast Photos

Angelina Pivarnick Fight: Caught on Tape!

Posted on January 12, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

We love the smart phone era. Everybody’s got a camera on hand at all times, leaving the door open for someone to capture impromptu fights breaking out. Specifically, we’re referring to ex- Jersey Shore star Angelina Pivarnick’s expletive laden, cell phone-heaving scuffle at the Trump Taj Mahal in Atlantic City. The footage picks up after Pivarnick and Melissa Mayne, who is suing Angelina over the melee, exchanged blows. Here, they mostly trade vulgar insults. A phone is hilariously sent flying at one point, though. Enjoy … Angelina Pivarnick-Melissa Mayne Fight

Sammi Giancola and Ronnie Magro: It’s Over!

Posted on January 11, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Brace yourselves for stunning news. Jersey Shore stars Sammi “Sweetheart” Giancola and Ronnie “Meathead” Magro are over. You got that? They are DONE! “It is over,” a source close to the couple says, noting that there was “major tension” throughout the show’s third season … who would have guessed. Another insider noted that the toxic tandem was “barely speaking to each other” by the end, and things were icy recently on Good Morning America . THE HORROR FROM HAZLET: Sammi’s smiling, bit likely cackling inside . The couple’s romance blossomed in season one, and survived many bumps in the road … some of which comprised Ron bumping and grinding on other girls. “I’m embarrassed about what I did,” Ronnie Magro said of his antics in Miami, which were admittedly bad, although dating Sammi would drive anyone insane. As the Jersey Shore Season 3 premiere made clearer than ever, her nickname is a total misnomer, as she is probably THE biggest b!tch in reality TV history. So who’s to blame for the recent split? Eh, who the hell cares. All we know is that he’s already Tweeting about “Single Ronnie.” Let the Ron-Ron Juice flow.

Ashton Kutcher A ‘Huge Fan’ Of ‘Jersey Shore’

Posted on January 11, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

‘I can fist-pump with the best of ’em,’ the ‘No Strings Attached’ star tells MTV News. By Kara Warner Ashton Kutcher Photo: MTV News By now, it’s pretty clear that “Jersey Shore” is here to stay. In addition to the cast being all over talk shows and the blogosphere, the show’s heavily hyped premiere last week netted a record-breaking 8.45 million viewers, making it the most-watched MTV series ever. Not only that, but Snooki told MTV News that she expects the cast will be game for doing the show for 20 more seasons or their “whole lives.” During our fun sit-down with the Snook-ster, she also mentioned personal highlights in meeting her celebrity fans, like Nicki Minaj and Ashton Kutcher. When we caught up with Kutcher recently as he promoted his upcoming romantic comedy “No Strings Attached,” we asked the former “Punk’d” star for his thoughts on the “Shore.” “I was on the ‘Jersey Shore’ bandwagon really early,” Kutcher said with a proud smile. “I met Mike [‘The Situation’ Sorrentino] and Snooki and Pauly D. I met them right after the first season. A good friend of mine started showing me all these pictures of all these guidos online, and then she was like, ‘Oh my God, you have to see this show,’ and so I started watching,” he explained. “I’m a huge fan of the show. I haven’t missed an episode.” Until we informed him that he had, in fact, missed the premiere the night before. “Did it start already? I was just talking about it yesterday. … I will have it on my Apple TV tonight,” he promised. And although Kutcher doesn’t have a favorite catchphrase from the show, he assured us that he can hang with the crew. “I can fist-pump with the best of ’em,” he said. Don’t miss “Jersey Shore,” airing Thursday nights at 10 p.m. ET on MTV.

Snooki Asserts She Co-Wrote Novel ‘Shore Thing’

Posted on January 11, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

‘Jersey Shore’ star tells ‘Today’ show that the book is ‘all my own language.’ By Jocelyn Vena Snooki Photo: Josh Kessler Snooki is always quick to point out that her book, “A Shore Thing,” is a novel, and that the novel’s two leading ladies are based on herself and her “Jersey Shore” bestie, JWoww. And for the haters who think she had nothing to do with actually writing the book, she says, think again. “I did [write it] because if you read it, you’ll know [by] the first page I wrote it ’cause it’s all my own language,” she said when she stopped by the “Today” show on Tuesday (January 11). “I had a co-writer [Valerie Frankel] help me. … I wanted to do a story about the Jersey Shore. People probably expect it to be a biography, so I wanted to surprise everybody with a novel.” So, how does Snooki boil the book down? “It’s pretty much like the show, but you’re reading it,” she said. “It took me, like, three months just because we had the idea before I went to the season that’s airing now and then I had to write it while [shooting the season]. “I don’t think it’s fair [how people judge me], but then again, that’s what you see on the show. But I’m not like that all the time … yeah on the show, of course [I’m a party girl], but I’m not like that all the time.” Not only is Snooki out promoting her book, she’s also dishing about her show, which is currently airing all new episodes shot at the Jersey Shore. “I would say this is the least amount of [physical] fighting that we’ve done … we try and stay away from that but it’s really hard,” she said. “[My] 15 minutes [of fame] was, like, a year ago so … hopefully my brand [will still be around years from now],” the reality star continued. “I have my Snooki slipper line, my jewelry line and my book, and I’m working on my clothing line. I’m being smart about it.” Watch “Jersey Shore” Thursdays at 10 p.m. ET on MTV. Related Videos MTV News Extended Play: ‘Jersey Shore’ Related Photos Jersey Shore (Season 2) | Snooki

Snooki & JWoww Spoof The View, Bash Joy Behar

Posted on January 10, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Tiring of Joy Behar’s constant insults on The View, Jersey Shore stars Snooki ( Nicole Polizzi ) and JWoww (Jenni Farley) decided to fight back their way. By spoofing the talk show and its host in this awesome video, during which they use horrible Jewish accents and call Joy a bitter “Italian wannabe.” Joy, they say, just hates Jersey Shore because kids like that ruined her childhood … during the Great Depression. Ohhh. Sadly, this is as good as SNL: Jersey Shore’s View on Joy Behar The irony? Joy Behar is actually not Jewish, but an agnostic who was raised Catholic. Behar is also Italian-American. Snooki and JWoww are not. Idiots.
