Outspoken N.J. Gov. Chris Christie got into a heated altercation with a heckler on a Jersey Shore boardwalk Thursday night, and it was all caught on tape. The popular but controversial Republican was hanging with his family in Seaside Heights when some guy made snide comments about education policy. Christie, 49, was far from pleased, walking toward the heckler and saying, “You’re a real big shot … you’re a real big shot shootin’ your mouth off.” If nothing else, it’s worth watching Christie in a short-sleeve shirt eating ice cream on the same boardwalk the Jersey Shore gang hangs out on …
‘They’re starting to take those next steps into adulthood,’ an MTV executive said of Snooki’s new next-door digs. By Gil Kaufman Snooki Photo: Getty Images The Smush Room is no place to raise a baby. That might explain why pregnant Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi has moved out of the “Jersey Shore” house and into an adjacent space where she can focus on impending mommyhood. “It’s not a prison,” MTV’s executive VP of programming and head of production, Chris Linn told Entertainment Weekly about the legendary “Shore” house. “I know she’s concerned about the perception of her being a pregnant woman in a party house. I think that’s a common experience among a group of friends when somebody gets pregnant. This is an opportunity to see how she deals with it and how the rest of the house deals with it. The show has always been about following what’s really happening in their lives.” That move is just one of the changes Linn said viewers will see when the sixth season of “Shore” hits the air. As Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino told MTV News in an exclusive interview , he’s hitting the shore clean and sober for the first time and plans on making it out to the usual hotspots like Karma while keeping the partying to a minimum. Jenni “JWoww” Farley is in a committed relationship with her beloved tattooed gorilla, Roger and Snooki’s sidekick, Deena Cortese is spoken for as well. “They’re starting to take those next steps into adulthood,” said Linn. “What’s going to be different this season is how much their lives had changed.” The “Shore” kids made their Seaside Heights home-away-from-home last week after an 11-month hiatus, the longest in the show’s history. And, after just a few days in the house, as promised, Snooki packed up her fuzzy slippers and beloved Crocodilly and moved next door. Though it’s the fighting, drinking and hook-ups that have made “Shore” an international sensation, Linn said producers are not worried about the big life changes their cast has gone through over the past year. “I don’t think anybody expected Snooki to be the one to blaze that trail, but she is, and it’s going to change the dynamic with everybody else,” Linn said. “She’s just as funny, if not funnier, than she’s ever been.” Among the other changes: a planned skydiving excursion had to be scrapped due to Snooki’s pregnancy, but executive producer SallyAnn Salsano said that doesn’t mean we’ll suddenly be watching Vinnie and Pauly D sitting around reading Proust and discussing the European financial crisis. She said the upcoming season will be “a different kind of entertaining,” with lots of jokes about Snooki’s pregnancy and Mike’s sobriety. “It’s like a high school sex-ed video gone insane,” she said.

Despite occasional criticism, protests and terrorist threats across Asia , Lady Gaga remains one of the world’s most popular celebs and the undisputed Queen of Twitter. With 25 million followers, she retains the top spot over Justin Bieber. The 22.5 million Beliebers have a ways to go if they want to catch up to the Little Monsters. The 26-year-old star reached the milestone last night. “#25milliontweetymonsters wow! I’m officially feeling like the luckiest girl in the world today,” she tweeted. “Last sold out show in Singapore in 2 hrs!” Bieber, 18, is not far behind Gaga, and his growth rate nearly matches hers. Months ago, the pop sensations were at 20 and 18 million followers, respectively. A whopping 20.4 million follow Katy Perry, Rihanna has around 19.5 million devotees and Britney Spears has 17.2 million, meaning pop stars own spots 1-5. President Obama, with 16 million, is ahead of Kim Kardashian, whose management team spouts off vapid nonsense and plugs useless crap to 14.8 million “fans.” [Photo: WENN.com]
The cast of Jersey Shore – pregnant Snooki included – was spotted Thursday by celebrity gossip photographers moving back into the Seaside Cesspool. Does this mean she’s having a change of heart about getting her own place? The baby-bumpin’ poof-head says she has no plans to stay in the house, but reports and pics from the scene say otherwise. So what’s the deal? “You know how they have to make it look for editing,” a source said. “What they will probably do is have her there for a day or two. But then she’ll move into the new place. Trust me, she will not be living in that house.” A source told us not even two weeks ago that Snooki will likely live in a nearby house in Seaside Heights, N.J. Close enough to hang out, but away from the epicenter. She has repeatedly said that the house is no place for a pregnant woman. Or anyone who values their health or brain cells even a little bit. Smart. Snooki, who’s pregnant with a boy , is due in September. [Photo: WENN.com]

With their undeniable chemistry, Maria Menounos and Derek Hough sure know how to heat up Dancing With the Stars … and the celebrity gossip rumor circuit. The subject of much did-they-or-didn’t-they-kiss speculation a couple of weeks ago and the continued target of dating rumors, there was no doubt this week. Maria and Derek full-on locked lips during their salsa: Maria Menounos & Derek Hough – Salsa (DWTS Week 5) Although Bruno Tonioli asked if they needed a room and if he could join in (would you expect anything less?) Carrie Ann Inaba thought the kiss was too much. “Dance is all about the illusion of passion,” she chided the pair, who earned 27 out of a possible 30 points for the routine. “Don’t go at it in front of everyone!” Or do. Really, no one is complaining here at THG. And we thought Allure ‘s pic of Maria Menounos nude would be her hottest moment of the week …
