I can’t decide which element of this-just-in ridiculata is the worst: 1) Jersey Shore‘s Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino was Access Hollywood‘s red carpet correspondent at last night’s Grammys 2) The Situation’s new fragrance will be called Sitch, or 3) The Situation’s suit in this picture. (Bunching, or just happy to see us? Discuss.) I can never go back to a purer state of not knowing any of these things, and since I’m a miserable excuse for a human being who sometimes refuses to suffer in silence, now neither can you.
In other horrifying-but-hypnotic news, the entire Jersey Shore cast appeared on the Today Show this morning to talk about moving somewhere warm for season 2 and thoroughly confuse Meredith Viera about what the hell is going on in pop culture — even after a lengthy video recap during which the voiceover said, incredulously, “that’s Nicole Polizzi, nicknamed Snooki. She was even punched in the face this season!”
Certainly vote below. I’m interested in The Situation’s staying power. And I hate myself for typing this, but my relationship with the name “Sitch” for a fragrance is so love/hate that it may as well be love.

“Sitch”. When you desperately need to smell like hair gel, tanning bed oil and Tide…NOW!
I think his name would be better served on a deodorant. To help keep the pit stains under control when your fist pumping at the club.
What a tool.
WOW!!!! Annie when did this mag become teen beat I thought this was EW the E for entertainment? The whatever he’s called will remain around as long as reporter’s masquerading as female teenage idiots continue to spend time on him.
I’m pretty sure you weren’t forced to click on this particular Popwatch article….
They’re all like this.
Why all the Haters? I was a fellow docotral candidate of Michael’s at Brandeis. One of his advisors took a strong dislike toward him, exacerbated by his frequent stomach reveals, and the result was the loss of a beautiful mind. Ah Situation! Ah humanity!
Please learn how to spell “doctoral.”
Oh, please. It’s obviously a typo, which I consider to be different from not knowing how to spell something. They know how to spell “doctoral”; their fingers simply mistyped it. I’m sure a brilliant self-appointed internet editor like you never makes any typos, but us lesser mortals occasionally commit such grievous crimes; we will try to do better in the future.
I love “Jersey Shore”! Beats any of that Hills crap. And the Situation is far more entertaing than people like Speidi or Lauren Conrad. Deal with it, Annie!
*entertaining, sorry.
You’re luck this time girl.
Grammar Nazis, I take it you meant “lucky” not luck. If it was your intention to sound like a poorly translated Asian food menu, then please accept my apology.
This is a pointless article that ends with a pointless question. People can say they despise him all they want, but those are the same people that tune in night after night to watch this stupid crapfest. Jersey Shore is entertaining because it doesn’t pretend to be anything other than dumb entertainment, complete with dumb characters. So really, who actually cares? (Besides Annie Barrett, of course)
Those last weeks, some EW reviewers are really crossing the line…Are you trying to compete Perez Hilton’s blog or something? If not, WTF is that title? And I can bet those guidos will grace your cover in few months.
It’s a well known fact “mishka,” that Mike developed hemorrhoids from spirited waxing. It was known at the Shore as “The Inflammation in the Situation.”
They won’t go away if you continue to write about them.
I love the Jersey Shore. Hope it’s Vegas for Season 2.
Little known fact, Mike’s third cousin twice removed from Singapore is known as “The Situasian.”
His fourth cousin on his step mother’s side is a minor league lefthander for the Cubs. They call him “The Pitchuation”.
His great Aunt Constance was dehydrated a while back, everyone in the family called her “The ConnieStipation.”
His best friend from high school now works as a trash collector. They call him The Sanitation.
When Mike was getting his Masters Degree in Human Sexuality, he was known as “The Masterbation.”
During his rebellious teen years, Mike abstained from showering. He was known as “The Fermentation.”
Situations siblings = Stacy, Steve and Stan and altogether they are known as “Alliteration”
B Ro = total win.
Between the hours of 7am and 2pm, Mike is known as “The Hibernation.”
What his nickname should be: “The Abomination” (and no, don’t emphasize that “ab” syllable).
He had or has a PHD from Brandeis? What the hell happened to this guy?! Plus I hate to say it but Vince is right, that if we do not watch it they will not get ratings. If we watch it, they get them. J.S. Is like Jackass except Jackass did stupid stunts on purpose to get a laugh. With J.S., if Mike’s choosing not to use his brain, he’s a f-ing great actor.
Did you know that the word “gullible” is not in the dictionary? Go ahead and look it up.
Mike was friends with this guy Uli, who believed in nothing. They called him “The Annihilation.”
I hear Mike has an easily excitable pomeranian he calls “The Exclamation.”
When the best thing you can say about a show is that it is better than “The Hills”, it’s time to drop the remote and read a book. Or at least switch over to TCM. Don’t worry, they’ll all go away soon. How much of the Osbornes do we see these days?
Love the show jersey shore. But only because its rediculous and funny to laugh at these idiots. I myself am from the jersey shore. Funny how none of the cast is. So whats the point of a 2nd season if its anywhere else but here? Why call it that. We call people like the cast in this show “Benny’s.” Not a nice term. MTV has invaded our beaches since 1998. Enough already!!!
Mike’s sister has a friend who is very stubborn and rude and she like to set up dates with guys and then not show up. She is more commonly known as “The Ditchuation”
That’s true. Do you know about his uncle’s step-son that got beat in the head by Ronnie with brass knuckles? Today, he goes by the nickname “The Stitchuation”
I did not know that but I am very familiar with his brother Rich who simply calls himself … “The Richuation”
pauly D = hahaha –> needs “The Medication.”
