VIDEO: Behind The Scenes Of Jersey Shore Cast In Italy

ABC’s Chris Connelly “took one for the team” and dared to go where no one has gone before: Behind the scenes of Jersey Shore filming in Italy.

The Jersey Shore Season 4 premiere last week earned record ratings, so, we might as well take an inside look to better understand this phenomenon of clubbers, tanners, hooker uppers, and fighters who have invaded our homes via MTV and who do not seem to be going away anytime soon.

Watch their Italian antics for yourself:

VIDEO CLIP OF THE DAY: ‘Jersey Shore’ Season 4 Trailer

VIDEO CLIP OF THE DAY.

I am fully expecting to become a bit more dumb come August because by the looks of the newly released trailer for Jersey Shore season 4, which I will admittedly be watching, my and possibly your favorite fist pumpers go from bad…to way way worse than ever….and by spending my precious time watching these guys and gals’ insane antics, I am preparing to also watch a few of my own brain cells waste away…

The cast recently completed filming in Florence, Italy and the trailer shows a season full of fights, hookups, binge drinking, hospital visits, and car accidents. There is some video footage of the infamous fight between Ronnie and The Situation; Snooki running into a police car, and Snooki breaking up with her boyfriend Jionni from what appears to be related to something The Situation does or says.
Watch the video clip below and prepare to have a few of your brain cells waste away while doing so:

Bad Day For The Situation: Sued By Managers For $1 Million

Jersey Shore‘s Mike ‘The Situation’ Sorrentino is having the worst day, ever.

First, we got reports that he abruptly left the show that made him famous. 
Now, we hear that his old management team is suing him in excess of $1 million dollars in damages for breach of contract.

Gotham NYC Entertainment filed suit today against the Sitch, alleging that he dropped them like a hot potato in May “due to lack of performance,” but did so without giving  them the 30-day notice and chance to correct issues as required by their contract.

Gotham NYC Entertainment claim that they “discovered” The Situation and managed and transformed “his career from relative obscurity to become an international celebrity,” since the 2009 premiere of Jersey Shore. And now, they feel left high and dry. We will keep you posted of developments.

Has The Situation Quit ‘Jersey Shore’ Too?

MTV’s Jersey Shore is falling apart. First, Vinny Guadagnino inexplicably and abruptly left the Jersey Shore house July 1 while filming season 5 of the reality show.

Now, US Weekly reports that Mike ‘The Situation’ Sorrentino has also bid a premature farewell to the infamous house in Seaside while filming is set to continue.

An insider told the mag, “Mike walked off the show. He’s so over the whole thing, I don’t think he’s coming back. Everyone in the house is so unhappy.”

Perhaps the pressure of nonstop filming and living together is getting to the guidos in the house. The cast had just returned from their six-week trip to Italy after filming season 4 wrapped up there to immediately begin filming their fifth season in Seaside Heights, NJ. 

The Situation Drops Lawsuit Against His Father

Jersey Shore star Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino recently sued his father Frank Sorrentino because Sorrentino, Sr. had started a website to humiliate his reality show son.


But it seems like all is finally well in the Sorrentino household. TMZ reports that The situation has dropped his suit against his papa and his papa has in turn agreed to stop using his son’s name, image and likeness to make some extra dough.

Frank Sorrentino says in the court papers that he is actually a victim because he was exploited by a “con artist” named Robert Fletcher, his former publishing agent, who planned to make money off of the family fight. 

Frank states in court papers, “I regret getting involved with Robert Fletcher and I am sorry that I participated, to the detriment of my son Michael.”
Ah, that just gives me the warm fuzzy feelings…

Jersey Shore Cast Back At Seaside To Film Season 5

Seaside Heights, New Jersey welcomed back its most famous part-time residents this weekend as the cast of  Jersey Shore returned to the their reality TV home base.

Snooki, Pauly D, The Situation, JWoWW, and the rest of the cast recently returned to the US after filming in Italy and the girls were spotted Monday doing what they do most, getting a tan!

A rumor hit the internet Friday that MTV wants to replace the high-priced cast with cheaper unknowns. But MTV was quick to squash the rumors: “We love the present cast and their summer adventures have just begun. We currently have no plans to recast the show.”
Pauly D went a step further to back up his bros and Jersey girls. He told PEOPLE: “I don’t think they could replace us. They’d just be people trying to be like us, anyway.”

MTV Will Recast Jersey Shore?

What happens when you push your boss for one outrageous raise after another when you’re already making a crap load of money to begin with? You lose your job that’s what.

MTV is reportedly planning on recasting Jersey Shore after the original crew films one final season in Seaside Heights this summer to bring in much cheaper and less famous people.
With each passing season, this cast has held out contract negotiations, pushing for bigger and bigger salaries because they argue that the show that made them famous prevents them from having time to take part in more sponsorship deals and club appearances.
The “core group” which we can assume consists of Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi, Jenni “JWoww” Farley, Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino and Paul “Pauly D” Delvecchio reportedly made about $100,000 per episode to film Season 4 in Florence, Italy, this spring. WHICH IS JUST PLAIN INSANE! They were paid $100,000 to basically party in paradise.

“After this group comes back from Italy and shoots season 5 this summer, that will be the end for them,” a Jersey Shore producer told Us Weekly.

The source added: “They will leave on a high note!” I guess that means they will continue with their spin off shows.

Jersey Shore’s Ronnie And The Situation Come To Blows In Italy

It was bound to happen: A brawl between Jersey Shore‘s Ronnie Margo and The Situation. And apparently, the fist fight may have started after another blowup between Ronnie and Sammi Giancola.

This all went down while the cast is filming in Italy, giving the locals even more reason to hate the show and probably all of America as a default. Looking at this trailer for season 4, we can see who won and who lost the fight…

The two came back to their apartment separately. This altercation should make things even more interesting moving forward. And by interesting, I mean awkward and volatile…

UPDATE: HERE IS THE FIGHT VIDEO!

Jersey Shore’s The Situation Sues Own Father Over Defamatory Website

Ladies and gents, we have a situation on our hands. Jersey Shore star Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino is suing his papa, Frank Sorrentino because Sorrentino, Sr. has started a website to humiliate his reality show son.

Per TMZ, Mike Sorrentino filed a lawsuit yesterday in a federal Miami court claiming that his father illegally used his name and image to promote TheConfrontationSite.com and is asking the court to put a stop on this ASAP and to get unspecified damages.

Sad day in JerseyLand. But you know what a suit like this does? Other than cause a greater rift in a family? It brings TONS OF attention to a website which may not have garnered much on its own….Bad move Sitch.

“Jersey Shore” Will Relocate To Italy

The entire cast of MTV’s Jersey Shore has been deported out of the U.S.!

OK, not really, but Snooki, The Situation, JWoww and the rest of the cast are in fact leaving the eastern seaboard for the motherland of Italy to tape their fourth season.

MTV confirmed this report, and is already scouting locations in Italy for the cast’s new digs.

This dramatic change of location just can’t be good for the U.S./European diplomatic relations. One just has to wonder how much more the Europeans will hate us after the most infamous American guido and guidette crew infiltrate their beloved land with their binge drinking, fist-pumping, hair-teasing, bar brawling ways.
