MTV has "made some adjustments" to their editing of Jersey Shore 2: The Sickening to "de-Italianize" the proceedings. Meaning fewer shots of the Italian flag and less usage of the term guido. Snooki's home planet will continue to be represented.

One of MTV's favorite guidettes, Sammi Giancola, won't face charges for punching a girl in a Miami club. Prosecutors said they don't go after perps once they have left the county. Finally, someone is safe after fleeing to New Jersey.

We figured DJ Paulie Disco would be the first of MTV's guidos to land a recording contract, but TMZ got their hands on a snippet of The Situation's single. It's sort of like a Snooki punch to your eardrums.

Summer's here! Are you fretting that there's nothing on television? Well, stop living in the past! We don't live in a school-year-dictated world anymore. Here are some shows you should consider watching to help pass the hot months, safely indoors.

Apparently one of America's favorite guidos was doing a bunch of blow while filming in Miami, but RadarOnline won't say who. Which one is it? Snooki? JWOWW? Vinny? The first person to say "all of them" gets shot.

If you want to join MTV's ongoing reality madness, you're in luck: Open casting calls for Jersey Shore are scheduled for Sunday in Las Vegas and Atlantic City. Getting on the show won't be easy though. Here are some tips.

Thanks to MTV's guido drama Jersey Shore, business in the town of Seaside Heights, NJ is gearing up for a record-breaking summer. All that talk about how bad the show is for the shore's image? Fuggedaboutit.

This week Jersey nightlife magazine Steppin' Out features Michelle Bombshell in a Sicilian widow costume that came from a plastic bag at a Halloween store. This isn't even its best work. A walk down memory lane with America's trashiest publication.

Michelle Bombshell: May 19, 2010
Bombshell covers more parts of her body than have ever before been covered at the same time, but ends up looking a streetwalker version of Elvira. Here is a quote from the accompanying article:

Jersey Shore turned out to be a major cash cow for MTV, club promoters, photo agencies, and any innocent bystander who a cast member happened to attack. But now that everyone wants a piece, will they bleed it dry?

One of the many takeaways from this awesome profile of Doron Ofir, the casting director behind Jersey Shore and countless others, is that he's looking for a whole new cast for the show's third season. First they came for Snooki...

Someone must have finally taught Snooki how to fight: She threw a punch at a girl in a Miami club. JWOWW got Snooki's back, but was floored by friends of the victim. And you thought tanks couldn't take ShamWOWW down.

Jersey Shore has always been guilty of being a guilty pleasure, but now the producers of the MTV show are being sued for supposedly running a "criminal enterprise," because they're "profiting" off of castmembers' fights.
