The fourth season of Jersey Shore was supposed to be a rollicking fun-time adventure, with the gang returning to their ancestral Italian homeland. Instead, the Florentine misadventure slowly devolved — over 12 memorably event-free episodes — into a relentlessly miserable experiment in Buñuelian anxiety, with the Shore gang trapped in a glorious villa with no one to keep them company except for the people they hate most in the world.

'Jersey Shore'-naments: Which pop culture holiday decorations would you like to see?
In case you missed HSN’s “A Very Snooki Holiday Gift Special,” well… shame on you! You may have missed the fact that yet another holiday has been guido-fied. That’s right, GTL now stands for ‘Glitter, Trees, Lights.’ For the Nov. 10 special, Snooki partnered with Kurt S. Adler to create an exclusive collection of holiday ornaments (close-up after the jump) inspired by the Jersey Shore kids. Snooki’s collection is sold out, but it got us thinking. What other pop culture phenomena would you like to see trimming your tree this holiday season? See our suggestions and chip in your own ideas below.

Snooki's guidette beauty regimen is even grosser than you'd think...
We may live in a world where people put nightingale dung on their faces and let flesh-eating fish nip at their toes, but it still sounded like the Internet was playing a trick on Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi when she revealed her latest beauty secret on Conan last night. In her new book, Jersey Shore‘s favorite guidette mentioned that she likes to save money on her beauty regimen by Googling DIY treatments.
The latest and greatest, Snooki said, was putting cat litter (“Clean cat litter!” just in case you wondered) on her face. “It’s got exfoliates, they’ve got rocks in there,” she insisted, “It makes your skin really smooth,” and later added, “I haven’t broken out yet!” A ringing endorsement if there ever was one. See her describe the home remedy, plus advise Conan on how to become a guido, below. READ FULL STORY »

The Situation is suing Abercrombie & Fitch for $4 million
Image Credit: MTV
Remember back in August, when Abercrombie & Fitch declared that they would pay The Situation money to not wear its clothing on Jersey Shore? We all had a good laugh about it. Then Abercrombie’s stock dropped 9 percent, a fact which made The Situation giggle with malicious glee. But Sitch is not satisfied with seeing his enemies merely defeated. He will not rest until he crushes Abercrombie, and he sees the board of directors driven before him, and he hears the lamentations of their women. Thus, on behalf of MPS Entertainment — a company founded by The Situation and his brother, Marc — lawyers have filed a Florida lawsuit against Abercrombie & Fitch for $4 million. READ FULL STORY »

When Beavis and Butt-Head met Snooki: Watch the trifecta converge on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live'
As promised, Beavis and Butt-Head paid a visit to Jimmy Kimmel on his show last night. But before the animated duo made their Jimmy Kimmel debut, MTV’s other animated success, Jersey Shore‘s Snooki, was on first to discuss how Italy is different (“The roads… and the cobblestones… and the language”) and her arrests (“I’m a badass.”) When asked by Kimmel what her favorite TV shows are, Snooks replied she’s a fervent watcher of The Real Housewives of New Jersey and Mob Wives.
In what could only be described as pure coincidence, Snooki also announced she was excited for the return of Beavis and Butt-Head. Which was convenient considering the duo were watching — and judging — the show from the comfort of their famous tattered couch. (“This is a horrible interview!”) Sick of the taunting from Beavis and Butt-Head (“This a whole other show.” “You said, ‘A hole’!”), Kimmel offers up his show to the pair. (Huh-huh, pair.)
Watch Butt-Head, host of Butt-Head Live!, attempt to interview Snooki (who they have already mocked on their own show), while Beavis holds up helpful cue cards. (“Talk About Boobs”) below. Come on, you don’t want to be the only one at your Mensa meeting to have missed this! READ FULL STORY »

Why 'Jersey Shore' is better than 'Boardwalk Empire'
Image Credit: Ian Spanier/MTV; Abbot Genser/HBO
Boardwalk Empire is the absolute Platonic Ideal of the modern television drama: Lavishly expensive, produced by HBO, created by a writer of The Sopranos, stamped with artistic goodwill by a cinematic icon (Martin Scorsese), featuring elliptical storylines filled with meaningless-and-yet-so-meaningful tangents and just-for-the-hell-of-it soliloquies and brutally sexy violence, all brought to life by a massive cast of theater veterans and big-screen character actors and other generally creative people who don’t mind nudity clauses.
So Boardwalk Empire is the exact polar opposite of Jersey Shore, a show which represents something like the absolute sewer-rat debasement of what used to be called “the documentary art.” READ FULL STORY »

The battle over the 'Jersey Shore' tax credit proves we are in the declining days of the American empire
Image Credit: MTV
When it comes to the Battle for the Snooki Subsidy – the $420,000 tax credit that the New Jersey government originally granted to Jersey Shore, which has just been vetoed by Governor Chris Christie — there are no heroes. Not MTV, which made untold millions off the Shore franchise in the last year and a half, but still couldn’t resist a tasty government shakedown for a few measly hundred thousands of weak American dollars. Not the grandstanding politicians, whose mock outrage over such an inessential matter proves once again that the modern American political system is incapable of focusing on actual important things, like a Ritalin-starved fifth grader who keeps getting distracted by his own shoelaces. Not the American public, who care more about half a million dollars misspent on popular drunk idiots than about untold trillions misspent on soulless finance kingpins and endless wars.
In fact, the only people who come off well in all this are the cast members of Jersey Shore. We like to pretend that they are the barbarians at the gate, the horsemen of the apocalypse. But the apocalypse is already here; we are the barbarians. At least the Jersey Shore cast is having fun. They’re like the tannest, drunkest, stupidest violinists left on the Titanic, playing string-quartet interpretations of crap house music while the ship sinks away.

New Jersey is paying 'Jersey Shore' almost half a million dollars in tax credits
Politicians are attempting to justify yesterday’s decision to award Jersey Shore a $420,000 tax credit by noting that the show has an economic halo effect. No less an authority than the mayor of Seaside Heights, P. Kenneth Hershey, claims that the series provides an essential boost to the local economy, although to be fair, that “boost” mostly comes in the form of additional shots ordered at Karma and overtime pay for beefy security dudes who have to follow the Jersey Shore cast everywhere.

Breaking: 'Jersey Shore' star J-Woww doesn't know her hair metal

What started out as a simple question on the red carpet of last night’s MTV Video Music Awards — What is your all-time favorite music video and why? — turned into a difficult answer for Jersey Shore‘s Jennifer “J-Woww” Farley. “It would have to be Gun N’ Roses. Maybe ‘Every Rose Has Its Thorn.’ Oh, no, that was Bon Jovi,” she said. Actually, that’s a Poison song, EW stringer Carrie Borzillo corrected her. “That was Poison? No. Where they pass away and the casket? That was Guns N’ Roses. Oh, no, wait. ‘November Rain’ is what I mean. It was original. No CG or anything. It was all about a story.”
Hilarious? Yes. But forgivable?

Abercrombie & Fitch offers The Situation money to stop wearing Abercrombie & Fitch
Image Credit: MTV
In a striking rebuke to the old adage that “There’s no such thing as bad publicity,” clothing brand Abercrombie & Fitch has officially announced that they will pay Mike Sorrentino — a.k.a. “The Situation,” aka “La Situazione,” aka “Mr. Circumstance” — and his castmates to stop wearing their clothes. According to the Wall Street Journal, no less a source than A&F Chief Executive Mike Jeffries told reporters that the company was concerned that the Jersey Shore stars’ preference for their clothing would be detrimental to the brand. It appears that there is concern that the all-important “high school douchebag” demographic might be put off by seeing A&F clothing being worn a guys old enough to be their funny bachelor uncles. Obviously, by making a public announcement about not wanting to be associated with the Situation and his pals, A&F has now inextricably associated themselves with the Situation and his pals. Given that The Situation has leveraged his celebrity into millions of dollars, one suspects he is already plotting an exciting new career of being paid to not do things. Ain’t capitalism grand?
UPDATE: Sorrentino tweeted a link on Wednesday to a story about Abercrombe and Fitch’s stock dropping 9 percent after the Jersey Shore announcement. “Looks like Abercrombie got themself into a Situation!” he wrote. Pauly D (Paul DelVecchio) also responded via Twitter, tweeting a photo of an Abercrombie G.T.L. shirt along with the message, “Hmmm if They Don’t Want Us To Wear Those Clothes Why Make GTL Shirts.”
UPDATE II: MTV has also responded, calling Abercrombie’s public stance a “clever PR stunt.”
