From TMZ:

As if having 9 booze-filled, fight-prone tenants wasn’t punishment enough … TMZ has learned the beach pad featured on “Jersey Shore” is now being violated on the outside … by vandals.

The realtor for the infamous house in Seaside Heights tell us … hoards of people keep tagging the outside walls (above) with their names and random comments like, “We love you Snooki.”

We’re told the damage is so profuse … the realtor is forced to repaint  the guido-smush den on a WEEKLY basis.

Not only that … people are stealing roof shingles and constantly caught messing with the front door when the house is vacant.

In light of the problems … we’re told security has been beefed up and local cops are on the look-out for nefarious fans.

The good news … it’s only the realtor’s problem when the show is NOT in production … otherwise the clean-up nightmare is in the hands of “Shore” producers.

As if they don’t have enough to deal with.

TMZ even got a picture of the vandalized house:

I was going to do a whole “poor house” thing, but really, I’m surprised that it’s taken this long for this kind of story to come out. Isn’t that weird, how the fact that Snooki, The Situation, and the rest of those lovable scamps are insanely famous isn’t really part of the show? I would have expected creepers by the truckload after the first season. I would have thought that we’d see girls with self esteem problems coming by the house at all hours of the day and night and dudes coming on over to bro it up, but not so much, right? I know it’s alluded to sometimes, but I think it’d be interesting if we got to see that aspect of everything.

Like, can you imagine little Snooki trying to run off some teenage hoodlums with spray paint and bad attitudes? I would love that scene. Or some awkward, unaware 15-year-old hitting on J-Woww at the boardwalk? That would be such amazing television, wouldn’t it?

Sadly, I think this time around MTV will have their hands full, what with a pregnant Snooki and a sober The Situation. Maybe season seven, you guys!

Oh, now. How hot is Deena looking, guys? Hot, right? Between the injections, the diet pills, and the chemical peels, I thought she had this “alluring” thing on lockdown, but with these fancy new teeth? Man. If hotness could be gauged and charted, well. Deena Nicole Cortese would be off the charts. Thing is, though, Deena claims that she hasn’t had any plastic surgery. Nope, she chalks her brand-new look up to eyebrow sculpting and eyeshadow. All about the eyes, folks. From Deena’s Twitter:

just to let ya know, I have not got any plastic surgery..yes in the past i have had a nose job..and i am not against plastic surgery at all..i have thought about getting it redone to round the tip but haven’t yet..and don’t know if I am..I am not afraid to ADMIT i got plastic surgery so if I do.. I’ll let u know.. I thinned my eyebrows..and lost weight thanks to the [shill diet].. and learned how to do my makeup..lighter eye shadow brings out my eyes..and highlight under my eyes gives an effect of higher cheek bones.. the end. If I get the nose job I’ll let ya know =]

Also, she claims that she got Lumineers, not to be confused with veneers, through which your teeth need to be shaved. Shaved. No, Lumineers are snap-on teeth, and what better, longer-lasting thing to have than actual teeth?

SNAP-ON TEETH.

From TMZ:

With Snooki pregnant and The Situation getting sober, the people behind “Jersey Shore” are FREAKED the show will lose its sex-crazed alcohol-fueled edge — so they’re looking to phase the two out … in favor of newer, wilder castmates.

MTV released a statement earlier this week — following news Sitch was seeking substance abuse treatment — claiming the network expects the entire cast to return for Season 6 … but sources close to 495 Productions tell TMZ, the production company is currently looking for new talent.

According to sources, 495 desperately wants to keep things fresh — and folding in new castmates will help transition the show into a new generation … while still keeping old fans hooked.

We’re told 495 plans to limit Snooki and The Situation’s roles on the new season — giving new cast members more screen time instead.

The show is set to begin filming this summer. 495 had no comment.

Well that’s good news, isn’t it? Especially in light of my recent concerns that MTV would be glamorizing The Situation’s imminent relapse and stressing Snooki out during her pregnancy? Good news, right? Well, it’s a double-edged sword, really. It’s great that MTV won’t be contributing to the inevitable in both cases, but it’s frankly f-cking scary that they’re seeking out a “new generation” of guidos and guidettes, because seriously, these people need to be stopped. I mean honestly, how many lives need to be ruined by bad decisions influenced by drugs and alcohol and music you can fist-pump to? Whether or not Snooki and The Situation would have ended up in their situations if Jersey Shore had never been a thing is neither here nor there – they are in their situations as a direct result of the hype around their reality show, and this is how things turned out. How many people really need to be brought into the fold for the sake of ratings? How many more weak-minded and weak-willed people in desperate need of attention need to be exploited for public consumption and entertainment?

Moreover, what’s going to happen to Snooki and The Situation now? Their careers have been more important to them than anything else in their lives for the past few years, and now that it’s being taken away … I don’t know, guys. I just don’t see this playing out very well on anybody’s end, no matter what stance you take.

I know, I gagged a little writing that headline, so I can imagine how it must feel to have that bomb dropped on you with no prior warning.

MTV reports that the entire cast of Jersey Shore is returning for a sixth season (… I know, what the hell, right?), and that ‘entire cast’ thing includes the pregnant Nicole Polizzi. When asked about the whole pregnancy thing, MTV had this to say:

“Being a baby mama doesn’t mean you can’t have some fun in the sun. While things will definitely be a little different this time when they hit the boardwalk, their trademark hilarity and family dysfunction will remain the same.”

Oh! OK then. I suppose a baby raised in said hilarity and family dysfunction will turn out completely alright. It’s not as if the kid’ll be surprised by the f-ckery after it knows any better. An expert on the subject (he’s a “pop culture expert” and a professor at Syracuse University) spoke to the Daily News and claimed that the show this year will be extra-interesting, especially when it comes to finding out whether or not Snooki will be engaging in her trademark disgusting behaviors while she’s pregnant:

“It changes the dynamic. There are behaviors I suppose she’s not going to engage in, and if she does, it’sgoing to seem reprehensible. When Lucy got pregnant, the show was called ‘I Love Lucy’. It’s not called ‘Snooki Shore,’ it’s ‘Jersey Shore’, [and] there are some who can take up that narrative slack.”

Seriously speaking, though, how is it OK for this to happen, really? While I’m sure (or at least, I hope, anyway) that Snooki isn’t going to be out ’til all hours of the morning sipping those “non-alcoholic” beverages in shitty clubs on the shore, how is the constant stress and drama going to sit with a lady who’s gestating a fetus? Or does that not matter as much as a regular paycheck or, you know, ratings for a stupid show that no one but its E-list cast is going to remember in ten years?

The thing is, despite her previous protests, Snooki probably won’t lay off the partying, because it’s what she does. She doesn’t know any different. Fox News reported that girlfriend was out into the wee hours of the morning living it up with J Woww in Cancun:

The “Jersey Shore’s” hard-partying meatball hasn’t let a bun in the oven slow her down one bit. Polizzi was spotted heading out for an evening of partying at the wee hour of 1 am on Wednesday night in the only place more depraved than the Jersey Shore—Cancun.

Snooki is in the Mexican party mecca with her “Shore” co-star Jenni “JWoww” Farley, filming episodes for their upcoming spin-off show on MTV.

Reports earlier this week said that the pair were heading south of the border to stay at the Cancun Beach Palace in order for Snooki to get some much needed rest and relaxation after the media whirlwind surrounding her pregnancy bombshell.

Yes, let’s head to Cancun (during SPRING BREAK) for some much-needed rest and relaxation. Sure! Awesome idea. Also, Fox News referred to Snooki as a “hard-partying meatball.” You know, even though I don’t agree with most of the political stuff Fox peddles, I positively LOVE THEM for coining the phrase “hard-partying meatball.” Is there anything more fitting? You know, aside from other things I’ve read online like ‘funk-faced warthog’ or ‘diseased Oompa Loompa’?

The last season of Jersey Shore was so intense, right? There was all that drama with Jionni, we got to see Snooki’s problem with alcohol become painfully obvious and undeniable (as if it wasn’t already, right?) and, possibly the best part of all, we got to see The Situation ram his head into a wall. The fourth season of Jersey Shore was not a joke. It came at us hard and fast, and it didn’t slow down. So the fifth season should be the craziest yet, right?

Well, if you watch the trailer, not so much.

It looks like the highlights this season are going to be Vinny going home for a couple days and Snooki hitting the Situation with a plastic baseball bat. And that’s so disappointing. I mean, if you watch the whole trailer you don’t see one second of Ron and Sam fighting. Not one! It almost makes me not even want to watch it when it premieres on January 5th on MTV.

Almost.

“I read somewhere that Abercrombie & Fitch offered to pay The Situation not to wear their clothes—but who am I to say who should be wearing mine? I do remember someone saying that… what’s Paris Hilton‘s sister called? Isn’t it Nicky or something? Anyway, she apparently talked to someone about my first collection, and was like, ‘I don’t get it.’ I was like, Good! I’m glad she doesn’t get it. It’s not for her. Besides, what’s there to get with clothes? So if Snooki wants to wear my clothes, go for it. I think she’d look a lot better in them.”

—the imperiously icy Chloë Sevigny, who has a new fashion line (via CeleBitchy). No, I know; I promise you’ll have a lot more fun with the quote if you read it to yourself in this voice.

But what is Chloë really trying to say here? Do I detect a barely-veiled attack on Nicky Hilton? Here, let me run that quote through my Mean Girl Translator. Ah, yes: Sevigny said, “I have been obsessed with Nicky Hilton ever since I overheard her complaining about the way I dress. Now I will pretend like I can’t even think of her name. Nicky? I’m sorry, Nicky Who?”

I see, too, that Chloë would be willing to selflessly sacrifice her style credibility if it only meant she could get Snooki out of that awful leopard print. Also, Chloë seems to know an awful lot about the Jersey Shore cast, don’t you think?

What else did Chloë say about Jersey Shore?

“I think it’s really depressing that people are propping these people up as celebrities. The way they behave is embarrassing, and I think it’s kind of diminishing our culture. Most reality TV people behave like pigs, and it’s unfortunate that they get put on pedestals for doing so.”

But! She also said,

“I have to admit, I do find that JWoWW sexy in a really weird way. It’s like that sexy, dirty kind of girl—not dirty, but like a hot mess. We’ve all gotten too drunk and acted crazy at parties, but I don’t maintain that and I’m kind of fascinated by those girls who do.”

Of course! The “Hot Mess” appeal, right. Don’t worry, Chloë, it’s OK to feel conflicted. I actually know exactly how you feel!

For instance, on the wall of my office, I have tacked up a Uniqlo poster* of Chloë—oh, what is she called? Chloë Sevigny or something? Yeah, her. I can’t explain it, but she is bizarrely magnetic. She acts like a total space alien. And I mean, I don’t maintain that, but I’m kind of fascinated by girls who do.

*I am really not kidding. She is posing fiercely with a comparatively complacent Tadanobu Asano, and something about the whole thing really tickles me. Oh, Chloë! So yeah, it’s very much on the wall in the other room.
