Ciao Florence, Italy! The cast of Jersey Shore have returned to their homeland of Seaside Heights, New Jersey for season five of the reality show, and are up to their usual shenanigans. 

“I look like a Jersey Shore skank,” Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi says while looking in the mirror. “I love it!”

From Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino and Snooki’s arguments, to Vinny Guadagnino declaring that he’s moving out, this season isn’t void of drama either! From the looks of the season five promo, will you be tuning in? Let us know in the comments!

The guidos and guidettes return to TV (and the Shore) January 5 on MTV.  

As their final Florence, Italy shenanigans were being broadcast on televisions across the country, DJ Pauly D and his Jersey Shore housemate Ronnie Ortiz Magro were fist pumping at Perez Hilton’s party in NYC Thursday night!

Pauly D got the party poppin’ as he DJ’ed the event and pumped up the crowd to a remixed version of Nicki Minaj’s “Super Bass”. He also showed some love for Justin Bieber, wearing a purple T-shirt with the teen heartthrob’s face on it. In Shore fashion, the reality star was spotted sipping on a UV Vodka drink and snacking on popchips. Meanwhile, Ronnie was all smiles as he posed in a rather preppy argyle sweater! Other celebs at the action packed event included Boyz II Men and Real Housewives of New York City star Sonja Morgan. 

OpenSky presents Perez Hilton’s One Night in New York City party isn’t the first time we’ve seen Pauly D showing love to the Biebs!

Amid rumors of his breakup with Shore star Sammi Sweetheart, Ronnie was solo all night. But when he ran into Miss Universe backstage, he immediately stopped and said, “Wow, you’re beautiful,” and posed for a picture with her.

All the money raised from the event’s ticket sales will go to GLSEN, the Gay Lesbian & Straight Education Network. Pauly D seemed excited to raise awareness for the cause, telling Celebuzz: “Using my popularity to make a difference is really important to me, so I’m glad that I got the chance to come here and support such an important cause.”

This past Halloween, the Shore star dressed up as the “Baby” singer! Check out those pics and other Shore costumes below!

The stars came out in full force to Thursday’s event and enjoyed products from the slew of sponsors including Music Choice’s SWRV TV, OpenSky, Brita FilterForGood Music Project, SOUL by Ludacris, popchips, ZICO: Pure Coconut Water, TY KU, UV Vodka, Asahi Beer, and BlogAds!

Did you watch the season finale of the hit MTV reality show Thursday night? If not, here’s what you missed out on!

Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino, Vinny Guadagino, Ronnie Ortiz-Magro and Paul “DJ Pauly D” DelVecchio return to TV Thursday, August 4, in what looks to be another party-packed season of Jersey Shore!

In anticipation of the upcoming season of the Shore overseas, Celebuzz wants to know which Shore boy you think is the hottest! Is it the spikey-haired jokster Pauly? The six-packed Sitch? The big teddy bear Ronnie, or the lovable Vinnie? Cast your vote in the poll and be sure to let us know what you think of the premiere show!

Celebuzz has been tracking the reality stars via pics during their time in Florence, Italy when they were filming season four. Check out the gallery above of the boys enjoying an authentic Italian meal! 

As we saw in pictures earlier this summer, The Situation and Ronnie got into a fight that left Mike with a bruised face, and police and paramedics at the house. 

However, some of our favorite pics from Florence had to be of Vinny and his ripped shirt, flirting with ladies of all sizes and wrestling with his roommates. Click the pics and be sure to follow Celebuzz on Twitter, Facebook and Tumblr for more Shore news and photos.

The Jersey Shore cast shlepped on the makeup and hair gel for their MTV Florence photo shoot! The girls of the house, of course, showed some leg with super short mini dresses, while the boys were a little shady.

These silly pics are nothing in comparison to the wild pics we saw this summer of the cast in Florence!

Deena Nicole Cortese nearly fell of a bridge during her time in Italy, and Mike “The Situation” and Ronnie got into a fight with each other in May as well.

Meanwhile, after supposedly putting two police offers in the hospital following a car crash in Florence, Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi emerged  in a neck brace. The Jersey Shore star wasn’t arrested, but was simply brought in for questioning because of the alcohol-free incident. The reality starlet seemed in perfectly good spirits, despite having a potential lawsuit on her hands, as she walked around the city … even tossing her neck brace off while MTV cameras followed her around.

Also while filming in Florence, Vinny Guadagino was out of sorts as he roamed the streets with his roommates. The reality star was snapped holding a bouquet of flowers and, for some reason, in the bulk of the pics, is wearing a completely ripped shirt!

Mike “The Situation”Sorrentino and his boys Ronnie Ortiz-Magro and Vinny Guadagino were showing some love to the ladies in Seaside Heights!

The Jersey Shore boys hit the beach and though they kept their tank-tops on, girls of all ages couldn’t resist stealing some smooches and hugs from the MTV stars. What we want to know is, where is Paul “DJ Pauly D” DelVecchio?!?

The guys were riding solo for their beach day, without their other girl roommates Sammi “Sweetheart” Giancola, Deena Nicole Cortese, Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi and Jenni ”JWoWW” Farley. However earlier this week, the Jersey Shore babes hit up the tanning salon in Seaside Heights, with JWoWW in nothing but a sports-bra and tight workout pants.

Did Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino and Ronnie Ortiz-Magro get into a tussle while filming Jersey Shore in Italy? It sure seems that way!

The guys were snapped looking pretty beat up, Ronnie with a bandage on his face (which he took off when he got out of car) and The Situation looking bumped and bruised. The Situation wasn’t even wearing shoes! Paul “DJ Pauly D” Delvecchio was also out with the boys on Monday night, but looked untouched. Meanwhile, The Situation and Ronnie didn’t head home until the following afternoon. 

If there was an argument that ensued, this certainly wouldn’t be the first time!

Ronnie is notorious on the show for getting into brawls. In fact last year, the reality star was arrested for aggravated assault after he attacked a stranger in the street following a night of clubbing.  The fight and arrest later aired on Jersey Shore. 

However, the boys don’t seem to tussle as much as the women on the hit MTV reality series. Since the show has started, there’s been two hair-pulling fights between Jenni “JWoww” Farley and Sammi “Sweetheart” Giancola, and another brawl between Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi and former cast member Angelina Pivarnick. There was also the slap heard round the world in the first season of the show when a man hit Snooki across the face. 

Do you think there is too much physical violence on Jersey Shore? Let Celebuzz know in the comments section below. 

However, when Ronni isn’t fighting or crying, he’s loving up on Sammi. Check out these new pics of the on-again, off-again couple holding hands in Florence. 

They just can’t quit each other. After watching the tumultuous season three of Jersey Shore where Sammi “Sweetheart” Giancola and Ronnie Ortiz-Magro fought constantly, it looks like the romantic city of Florence, Italy has brought them back together again. 

The two were snapped holding hands strolling down the cobble stoned streets, and even stopped off for a meal at pizzeria and wine bar Vincanto. Ronnie and Sammi were smiling and hugging up on one another which is very different than how they left things last season. 

Following the second season of the Jersey Shore where it was revealed (on camera) that Ronnie had cheated on Sammi, the two decided to tough it out and stay together … but that didn’t last long. Things got ugly and a little violent when alcohol and parties came into the picture. It got so bad that Sammi left the show for a few episodes. She later returned and they attempted to rekindle their romance but broke up again when a man from Sammi’s past came into the picture. 

What do you think about this couple? Will they stay together this time? Get in on the conversation @celebuzz and leave us some comments below. 

While Sammi and Ronnie are having a date night, the other castmmates are having some fun of their own. Click the pics below to see the cast partying it up in Italy.

Snooki, JWoWW and Deena Nicole have a message to their haters: they are “not w***es.”

The three Jersey Shore divas made a lipdub video to LMFAO’s “I Am Not a W***e” (yes, that’s an actual song) while showing off their club-honed dance skills in what looks like a fancy hotel room.

The gals have fun drinking red wine out of a bottle and making faces for the camera while jumping around the room.

Later in the video, Ronnie pops his head into the video to lip sync with the girls and jump on a nearby bed.

Ron’s appearance might come as a surprise to Jersey Shore fans since the beefy star got into a shouting match with Deena in the season premiere episode of the reality series last Thursday.

Maybe lipdubs have the power to bring people together? Check out the video below.

It seems like every member of Jersey Shore is intent with having their brush with the law.

TMZ reports that Shore guido Ronnie Ortiz has been indicted by a grand jury in Ocean County, New Jersey, stemming from a fight that occurred on the first season of the show.

Oritz is accused of laying the smackdown on Stephen Izzo during a September 4, 2009, incident in Seaside Heights, New Jersey. The two parties had reportedly been trying to come to a plea agreement up until now, but have failed to do so.

A rep for Ortiz said of the indictment,

“This comes as a complete shock to us, as far as we know, our attorneys have been in contact with the prosecutors office and we are waiting to see the documents.”

Izzo currently has a lawuit pending against Ortiz, MTV and Jersey Shore‘s producers. Ortiz, who was charged with one count of first-degree assault, faces up to five years in state prison.

Maybe he should stick to the celebratory variety of fist-pumping from now on…

It was a spooky Halloween show on MTV’s The Seven — not so much because people were dressed as ghouls or zombies, but because it featured Jersey Shore stars Vinny and Ronnie as, well, creepy versions of their housemates.

Vinny rocked a ridiculous-yet-awesome Snooki costume (which co-host Julie Alexandra was also sporting), while Ronnie donned a fake blow-out and fake tats to put on his best Pauly D. As they entered, co-host Kevin Manno gasped at the sight, blurting out: “Oh my God, hideous.” He then astutely pointed out that Vinny has “smooshed” his own costume.

Alexandra told Celebuzz initially wanted to rock a superhero costume, but when she decided to go Snooki, “it was all or nothing.”

Like a trooper, Vinny showed his pouf and nails off a la Snooks, and even shared a Halloween treat (a pickle) Lady and the Tramp-style with Julie/Snooki. Watch it all go down in the video below, and catch The Seven every weekday at 5pm EST.

While everyone in America was dressing up as Snooki or The Situation for Halloween, the cast of Jersey Shore was spotted sporting their own Halloween creations over the ghoulish weekend.

The cast of the Jersey Shore took New York this week, stepping out of the swanky Dream Hotel to make appearances across the Big Apple.

One report even says Barbara Walters will feature the Shore guidos and guidettes on her Most Fascinating People of 2010 special.

Check out these fascinating shots of JWoww, Snooki and the rest of the cast strolling the city sidewalk in style. Who looked best in the Big Apple? Shout it out in the comments.

Jersey Shore‘s Sammi and Ronnie are back on cuddling terms once again, apparently.

The pair were spotted hugging and snuggling as they went on a private lunch date in Seaside Heights, NJ. Fans of the show know that they’ve had a tumultuous relationship, but the pair seem to have put their rocky past behind them as they finish filming the third season of their show.

Do you think Ronnie and Sammi should get back together? Click here for more photos and let us know what you think in the comments below. Check out Celebuzz’s Paparazzi-Razzi for more pics of celebs being awesome.

The boys of Jersey Shore were targeted by some pranksters in Seaside Heights.

Someone taped a sign that read “Gay-Men [sic] on Board, Gay Rights that’s ALL We ASK” on the cast’s black SUV. When Ronnie removed the sign, J-WoWW snuck back up and put the sign back on the car. Hm, was she the prankster behind the sign?

Sammi Sweetheart has reportedly walked off the set of Jersey Shore in Seaside Heights, NJ.

According to RadarOnline, Sammi left the show last week after she watched last week’s episode of the Jersey Shore and saw her ex-boyfriend (and co-star) Ronnie cheating on her at a club.

The second season of Jersey Shore was taped earlier this year in Miami and is currently airing on MTV. The cast is now taping the third season.

Sammi and Ronnie met on the first season of Jersey Shore and quickly began dating. The two eventually called things off after filming but rekindled their romance (sort of) while filming the second season in Miami.

Sammi reportedly left the Seaside Heights house after discovering that Ronnie had cheated on her during their renewed romance in Miami:

She just couldn’t stay living with the person who did this to her, so she moved out. She had to find out in front of everyone that her boyfriend was lying to her and treating her like hell.

In the episodes that have aired of the second season, Ronnie has been shown partying it up at clubs in Miami and making out with various women. One night, Ronnie makes out with different women and then drunkenly crawls into bed with Sammi. Later in the episode, Sammi looks elated when Ronnie refers to her as his girlfriend.

The cast only has a few more weeks left of filming. It isn’t clear if she will return for another season.

Sammi isn’t the first cast member to leave the show: Angelina stormed off the show during the first season but returned for the second. However, Angelina was replaced by a friend of Snooki‘s for the third season.

Do you think Sammi made the right decision? Are you sad to see her go? Let us know what you think in the comments below.

On the heels of Snooki’s disorderly conduct bust, Jersey Shore star Ronnie Ortiz-Magro was arrested in Seaside Heights, New Jersey on Sunday — and it wasn’t because he drank too much of his trademark Ron-Ron Juice.

MTV News confirms the iron-pumping 24-year-old was nabbed for “outstanding warrants related to unpaid parking tickets.” Ronnie was quickly released after paying the overdue fines.

Ronnie’s arrest is just the latest in legal drama for the Shore cast. Last week J-Woww filed a complaint with New York police, accusing her ex-boyfriend of stealing from her.

Despite all of the arrests, business deals and general buffoonery, the Jersey Shore gang still understands that it’s all about the fundamentals.

Reality TV’s favorite guidos and guidettes reinforced their core philosophy of GTL (that’s Gym, Tanning and Laundry for the uninitiated) in Seaside Heights, New Jersey, on Wednesday. Sammi “The Sweetheart” Giancola and his occasional girlfriend Ronnie bronzed their skin while lounging on the beach, while Paul “DJ Pauly D” DelVecchio opted for a cardio workout during his day in the sun.

Recent arrestee Snooki, meanwhile, tossed the laundry bag over her shoulder and headed off to wash her wardrobe. Because all of that activity can cause a person to work up a sweat and, thus, build up a powerful funk in their garments.

Click through the photo gallery to see the Jersey Shore crew get back to basics. And make sure to visit Paparazzi-Razzi for even more pics of famous people being their fabulous selves.

So, after months off and much hoopla, MTV’s Jersey Shore returned to the airwaves last night not-so-gracefully and well-tanned. In the premiere, there’s already serious tension in the house thanks to the return of Angelina as well as the sheer awkwardness of Sammi and Ronnie shacking up once again post-coupledom.

So, while we could go on forever, your opinion is what really matters. What did you think of the premiere? Missed it? Watch the full episode below, and then comment your spray-tan off!

What’s this? Snooki, The Situation and DJ Pauly D looking…artsy?!!? Such is the photographic genius of Terry Richardson.

The renowned celebrity photographer shared several photos that he’d taken of the reality TV sensations on his Web site today, showing us a side of the Jersey Shore gang that the world hasn’t seen before. Well, almost; Snooki still seems to be single-handedly trying to destroy the ozone layer by mega-bombing her head with hairspray.

Check out the pics in our gallery, and don’t forget: Season 2 of Jersey Shore premieres tonight at 10 p.m. on MTV.

Are you already fist-pumping in anticipation? Let us know in the comments section.

After launching a weekend filming strike, the cast of Jersey Shore can look forward to a hefty pay raise as they head into their new season.

According to The Hollywood Reporter the cast will be getting close to $30,000 per episode for the filming of their new season “2.5.” That’s close to a 200% increase from their original salary for season one, which was close to $5,000.

The cast originally announced that they were on strike this weekend when they were preparing for shooting “at home” scenes for the “2.5″ season. The cast was reportedly upset because they wanted to renegotiate their contracts before the shooting of the new season.

Things got complicated when show producers reportedly called the cast “expendable” but MTV didn’t want to lose their magic guido cast.

Not everyone in the cast will be getting paid the same amount: Certain stars like The Situation will get massive bonuses if ratings meet certain requirements. However, we don’t think that anyone in the cast is scoffing over their big pay raise.

As for the pay raise and strike, MTV released the following statement:

We don’t comment on any contractual conversations. Season 2 premieres July 29 and production is on schedule.

We guess that going on strike can sometimes pay off!
