When Ronnie Magro isn’t doling out beatings to The Situation in Italy, he and the rest of the cast have been dishing out pizzas at a parlor in Florence. Apparently a rival pizza place in town – along with a majority of the locals in the European country – has already taken great offense to the idea. “Munaciello Pizzeria has placed a bright green sign in their window that says, ‘Tamarri Americans: Jersey Shore ‘ …. no thank you,” says a source. Tamarri is Italian slang that can be roughly translated as yokel or uncultured idiot. Yup, that pretty much sums it up nicely. But they look happy: No fellow cast members were beaten during the making of this pizza . [Photo: WENN.com]
Some supporters claim he was ambushed Tuesday on Good Morning America, but the questions by Robin Roberts that preceded Chris Brown’s meltdown were approved by the singer before the interview, according to reports. Brown FLIPPED afterward, allegedly smashing a dressing room window. Roberts insists GMA asked in advance of she could pose “a few questions” about Rihanna, and Chris approved. She adds, “I’m pulling for the guy.”
We hate to wonder what Victoria Jackson thinks about this… Gwyneth Paltrow, who has appeared twice on Glee and is scheduled to return next month, will lend her voice to a duet on Matthew Morrison’s upcoming solo CD. The classic track these two will sing together? “Over the Rainbow.” Morrison sang an acoustic version of this Wizard of Oz single on the Glee season finale last May. “People kind of know me for that song now,” he says. “I wanted to do a duet with a female. I thought that was a good song to do, and we really did a different arrangement of it. It’s a lot of strings, and it’s beautiful.” No release date has been set yet for the CD.
Will Ronnie Magro be allowed to film Jersey Shore’s fourth season in Italy despite the pending litigation against him? His lawyer is trying to make it happen. Joseph A. Raia told a judge that the reality star will submit an application for a pretrial intervention program in connection with a pending assault charge . The charge is in connection with an 18-month-old incident in which Ron cold cocked Stephen Izzo with one punch after an exchange at a Seaside Heights. The incident was broadcast in an episode titled, fittingly, “One Shot.” The court application would allow Ronnie to tape the show’s fourth season in Italy. While not admitting guilt, the applicant (Ron-Ron) just has to stay out of trouble for a defined time period (at least a year) to avoid a criminal record. Magro’s next court date is June 6. It’s unknown if his bid will be accepted, but hard to see him being denied the right to film abroad for a few weeks. Follow the jump to see the fight … Jersey Shore – One Shot Fight

Lee DeWyze returned to the stage that made him famous last night. The season nine American Idol champion, whose album sales have been less than stellar , performed a new single (“Beautiful Like You”) and offered advice to the remaining finalists: “Just remember why you tried out in the first place. You guys are fine, no matter what happens.” Inspiring words… and an impressive performance? You tell us: Lee DeWyze Performs on American Idol
“This song is about love and strength and is dedicated to our friends in Japan.” That’s how Will.I.am introduced his group’s rendition of “Just Can’t Get Enough” last night, as The Black Eyed Peas followed Lee DeWyze and performed on the American Idol results show. Toned down a bit from their Super Bowl spectacle, the single featured Will.I.am on the piano and Fergie in a white dress with St. Patrick’s Day-themed nail polish. A nice touch. Check out their performance now: The Black Eyed Peas – Just Can’t Get Enough (American Idol)
Abraham Lincoln famously said that “A house divided against itself cannot stand.” Yet a Jersey Shore house divided against itself only stands to be more entertaining. In this week’s installment, friction between Ronnie and Sammi forces peeps to choose sides, while a stalker returns, Deena wears all denim and so much more. As always, THG breaks down some of the top Jersey Shore quotes and scenes from the episode in our official, patented +/- recap below. Let’s get it ON! Comment rendered unnecessary. Vinny and Snooki grow closer on a lunch date. Cute, but Minus 10 for the profound words emblazoned on her pants, advice guidos often take literally, deeply. Later, Vinny decides to get his ears pierced at the Shore Store. First it was the spray tan , now this. At least he’s going all out in pursuit of Tool-dom. Plus 7 . Pauly D’s hookup is thwarted when Erin’s brother shows up. This seems to happen a lot on Jersey Shore. Minus 5 , ’cause celebrities are easy to track down. Deena: “Let’s be real. You didn’t come here for pastries and like, coffee, you came here to do sex with Pauly and Vinny. You embarrassed yourself.” Plus 9 . Snooki is totally Vin’s backup hookup. Minus 6 for him making this so obvious, but let’s be real. It’s Snooki. How is she going to be somebody’s Option A? At Aztec, crazy stalker Danielle shows up once again. “You want me to punch you?” she asks Pauly D. “Do whatever you gotta do,” he responds. Plus 11 . Pauly D on a potential cougar hookup: “This woman is not a grenade. This woman is an atomic bomb about to blow.” Eh, they’ve done worse, so Minus 3 . Situation: “It just so happens Deena defies the laws of intelligence. I never thought someone would make Snooki look like a rocket scientist.” Plus 4 . When Ronnie’s mom drunk-dials you … this is the reaction. JWoww intercepts a duck phone call from Ronnie’s intoxicated mom. Plus 6 . That’s not awkward at all. It also indirectly explains a lot about you-know-who. Connie, Ron’s mom, also talks to Deena, hilariously, before Ron gets on the duck and tells her to knock if off because SHE’S embarrassing herself. Minus 5 . Sitch: “Wow. Ronnie’s mom’s gangsta.” Plus 4 . The Situation takes a nap in the dressing room during his shift at the Shore Store. Minus 3 , because they should at least pretend they care about working. Deena’s cleavage-baring all-denim outfit is an all-timer, even for this show. It’s like she’s an early ’90s prostitute that could only shop at thrift stores. Plus 4 . Apparently if a girl BREAKS UP WITH A GUY, she’s still not allowed to talk or text any other guys. Even if said guy cheated on her and is abusive. Minus 10 . These two really need to just neutral it out. JWoww: “Can you guys like, maybe neutral it? Because, like, you hit up a girl in Miami?” They may have to negative it at this point, but good point. Minus 5 . Pauly: “They already neutraled that … I say they start with a zero-zero, because he admitted his wrongs to that. This girl is still never admitting.” Plus 6 . Sammi now insists that she never told Arvin she wanted to hang out with him, even though this contradicts what she told Ronnie earlier. SHADY. Minus 7 . Pauly is suspicious that Sammi has never mentioned Arvin, even though she now says they are good friends. Moreover … what kinda name is Arvin? Plus 3 . The Situation actually gets Arvin on the phone and starts to interrogate him about Sammi. Man, this guy doesn’t know when to butt out … ever. Minus 4 . Ron confronts Sammi: “You’re the biggest liar I ever met in my life.” Eh, maybe so, but what she did was 10 times more innocent than his antics. Plus 8 . Minus 5 , though, Sam. Because who voluntarily dates this clown? TOTAL: -1. SEASON TOTAL: +232.
In the aftermath of Sammi’s exit from Jersey Shore last week, Ronnie was down in the dumps. The rest of the gang seemed focused more on absurd pranks. Despite the title, “The Great Depression” was lighter fare than more recent episodes, with fewer epic meltdowns and more bathroom humor – quite literally. As always, THG has broken down some of the top Jersey Shore quotes and scenes from the episode in our trademark +/- recap below. Let’s get to it: THAT’S JUST WRONG: Pauly’s discover was dirty even by JS standards. Right off the bat for using the show to pitch Britney Spears’ new music video . Videos, on MTV? What a concept! Plus 5 in hopes that this pattern continues. Despite being enraged every second she’s around, Ronnie mopes now that Sammi’s gone, whining non-stop in an all-out effort to grow a vagina. Minus 19 . Seriously, Jenni could take Ronnie. You can see the disgust on her face. Plus 4 . Sammi breaks down at home. Minus 10 for not making this a Sammi-free week, ’cause she’ll be back wearing her one white skirt/black top outfit in no time. The Situation attempts to give Ron-Ron a pep talk. On relationships. Minus only 2 , because it was nice of him to reach out, but talk about useless advice. Deena slams cake in Vinny’s face, then hides under a bed, only to struggle to get her ass, emblazoned with the words GO HARD on it, underneath. Plus 8. The prank war gets a nasty when droppings from the dog end up in Deena’s and Pauly’s beds. Practical jokes are awesome, but … fecal waste. Minus 10 . Vinny hijacks Snooki’s favorite stuffed animal, Crocodilly, dangling it from the deck in a stressful hostage situation. That’s how to mess with a girl! Plus 7 . Is it just us or is Snooki resembling Snarf from Thundercats? Minus 6 , because at least you never had to worry about Snarf getting naked every week. JERSEY SHORE UNCLOGGED : Vinny attempts to navigate the brown river. Ron totally is a girl. He’s eating himself silly amid all this grief, when he’s not crying of course. How else can one clog so many toilets? Minus 3 , or one point per. Which backed-up plumbing event was more unpleasant? The toilet, as pictured above, or what was going on inside Deena’s body? Forget it, let’s move on. Wash . Minus 4 because I spit out my coffee as Snooki prescribed it to Deena, saying it will so help her issue by causing a rainstorm for the butthole. My mind is blown. Pauly finds some ladies’ underwear in the can. “How are you supposed to get fresh in the bathroom with these dirty-ass drawers?” he muses. Seriously. Plus 9 . Plus 5 more for this line by Vinny, absolving himself of any possible tie to said dirty-ass drawers: “The girls I bring home wear no underwear.” Like a true PSA. Ronnie: “I’m glad I’ve got a penis.” Dude … no. Minus 3 . WHAT UP, GUYS! The gang raids the Smush Room to Snooki’s chagrin. Snook bags a “Mario Brother” named Jionni LaValle ! Plus 8 . But … Having been c*ck-blocked by none other than Jionni a few weeks back, Vinny sees an opportunity for revenge, excavating Snooki from the Smush Room. Plus 11 . Later, The Situation interrupts Vinny’s late-night activities by feeding him a burger. You know one of these days, someone’s going to try to pull The Rodeo . Plus 8 . Deena feels drunk and homesick after a night out at Karma. The Situation refers to her as a Sloppopatumus, which was funny but poorly-timed, so Plus only 4 . Ronnie somehow talks Deena down, and it’s actually sweet. Plus 7 . Minus 2 for me just getting emotional over this utter nonsense. TOTAL: +17. SEASON TOTAL: +194.
It was the breakup to end all breakups. In this corner, the horror of Hazlet, N.J., one of the most b!tchy, grating, stuck up, painfully annoying and unpleasant girls ever, Sammi “Sweetheart” Giancola! In the other corner, hailing from the Bronx, the worst boyfriend in human history, an idiotic, abusive, alcoholic meathead with rage issues, Ronnie Magro! These two fight every waking hour, but on Thursday night (see our Jersey Shore recap for the full rundown), things finally reached the point of no return. No woman deserves to be treated like Sam did, ever. Yet she remains a bratty button-pusher who’s very hard to sympathize with for a litany of reasons. What did you think? Did Ron go too far? Did she PUSH him too far and does she share some of the blame? Are they both just gluttons for punishment? Vote below and tell us: Whose side are you on here?
