Jersey Shore’s Pauly D Says Season 4 Will Be Dramatic, Plus Snooki Back With Boyfriend!

by Reality Tea on June 30th, 2011

Less than two weeks after departing Florence, Italy, the cast of Jersey Shore has returned to New Jersey to begin filming season 5! In fact the above photo of the cast was taken this week back in Seaside Heights.

And while the cast was kept in seclusion in between filming (MTV reportedly wanted them to keep their chemistry in tact) DJ Pauly D, 30, (he’s 30 years old???) was allowed to fulfill a hosting gig over the weekend in Las Vegas.

PEOPLE magazine caught up with him during which he dished about the upcoming 4th season of the show. “It’s more of the guys getting into the drama,” said Pauly D. “We’re used to it with the girls, but this season it’s a lot of the guys … I think it was as much drama as there was in Miami. Yeah, we got ourselves into some crap. Somehow we always end up OK. There was some serious stuff going on there.” And that drama will include The Situation and Ronnie getting into a fist fight.

When asked about the news that MTV plans to replace the cast after their 5th season, Pauly feels the new cast will have some big shoes to fill. “I think we’re irreplaceable,” he said. “I don’t think they could replace us. They’d just be people trying to be like us, anyway.”

Meanwhile following a widely reported break up in Italy, it appears Snooki and her ex-boyfriend Jionni LaValle are back together. The couple was photographed holding hands and kissing this week as the cast reunited with their loved ones, whom they hadn’t seen since leaving for Italy.

Jersey Shore Cast Will Be Replaced By MTV After Season 5!

by Reality Tea on June 24th, 2011

All “good” things must come to an end.

According to a new report, that will soon be the case with the Jersey Shore cast. In the latest issue of UsWeekly magazine, an insider reveals MTV is planning to replace the entire cast once the fifth season is over.

“After this group comes back from Italy and shoots season 5 this summer, that will be the end for them,” says an insider. The reason? It all comes down to money… of course.

See while the show is a mega hit for the MTV network, they are having to fork over millions to the cast members. A report that came out earlier this year revealed the core four of the group (Snooki, The Situation, JWoww and DJ Pauly D) were each earning $100,000 per episode for the fourth season. That amounts to over $1 mil each for the entire season.

Quite frankly, MTV feels the new stars will be “a lot cheaper” plus it also frees up the current gang to pursue their spinoffs. MTV has confirmed Snooki and JWoww have one in the works, as well as Pauly D and The Situation.

The source however promises the cast “will leave on a high note!” The cast departed Italy last Saturday as filming for season 4 ended and season 5 is scheduled to begin filming any day now in Seaside Heights, New Jersey.

Jersey Shore Season 4 To Premiere August 4! Season 5 To Film Soon

by Reality Tea on June 4th, 2011

It’s official, the fourth season of the Jersey Shore will premiere on August 4!

While the cast continues to film in the city of Florence, Italy, MTV made the official announcement this weekend. The press release promises the cast will “bring their trademark hilarity, fist-pumping and family dysfunction to the beautiful country” of Italy.

It gets even better as MTV has also green-lighted a fifth season. Yes, the network also announced that Season five will begin production in June. Once filming ends in Italy, the entire cast will return to the surf and sand of Seaside Heights, New Jersey right away to begin filming.

TMZ is however reporting that the cast is currently unaware of MTV’s plans to start filming season five right away. The cast was under the impression they would get a one month break and start filming in August. In fact, most of them are booked for club appearances all through July.

Sources say the cast will NOT be happy once they hear the news as they would rather get a break from filming ~~and make money doing club appearances~~. The sources also add that the cast could decide to band together and stage a revolt. Oh the horror.

What is certain is that the 4th season will be filled with drama. As we reported, the poster couple for dysfunctional relationships, Ronnie and Sammi, are once again back together and fighting. Ronnie and The Situation also got into a fist fight which left Ronnie with bleeding knuckles and The Sitch with a shiner on his face. Plus Snooki crashed into a cop car though she was left unhurt. Should be a fun season!

Jersey Shore Cast Signs On For Season 4, Gets Six-figure Raise! MTV Orders Two Spin-Offs

by Reality Tea on April 11th, 2011

After the widely reported contract hold outs, all of the Jersey Shore cast members have signed on to return for season 4!

TMZ reports Snooki, The Situation, JWoww and the rest of the gang will be heading to Italy in May to start filming. While TMZ doesn’t state the exact amount the cast will be earning, it does add that everyone is “very pleased with the outcome.”

Meanwhile, Entertainment Weekly is reporting that the cast got a HUGE raise! Just how huge? Let’s try over $100,000 per episode! Yes, you read that right. Sources close to the negotiations tell EW members of the “core group” are now pulling down at least $100,000 per episode.

With each season producing an average of 14 episodes, this means a number of the Jersey Shore cast will earn over $1 million each for season 4 ~~to simply drink, party & fight~~. Wowzers! The cast reportedly earned $30,000 per episode for season 3.

And finally, MTV announced last week it has picked up two Jersey Shore spin-off shows. The first show will focus on DJ Pauly D and his life on the road as “one of the country’s most in-demand DJs.” While the second show will follow BFFs Snooki and JWoww, chronicling their experiences as roommates after their lives on “Jersey Shore.”

MTV has ordered 12 episodes of each spin-off, and plans to debut both shows sometime in 2012.

Jersey Shore Cast Not Welcome In Italy, Plus Season 4 Contract Disputes

by Reality Tea on March 31st, 2011

Those wild and crazy kids of the Jersey Shore are already stirring up some controversy in Italy though they have yet to arrive for the filming of their 4th season.

See while MTV confirmed earlier this year that season four of the super mega hit show will be filmed in Italy, the show had yet to actually air in the country. That all changed this week when the show made its debut on Italian television, and let’s just say the Italians are no fans. In fact, the cast is now on the receiving end of some major backlash.

“They embody the worst stereotypes of Italians, multiplied by thousands and Americanized,” wrote columnist Roberto Del Bove in Rome newspaper New Notzie.

It only gets worse as a preview of the show posted on an MTV Italia website drew some nastier comments.”When I see this, I wonder whether [Osama] Bin Laden had a point,” lamented one poster, going a bit overboard perhaps.

“Slicked hair, exaggerated narcissism, boundless love for the family and outlandish eccentricity” is what was written about the show in another popular Rome newspaper, Corriere della Sera.

The Italians might be happy to know that only part of the fourth season will be filmed in Italy. This isn’t the first time the Jersey Shore clan has been criticized for their shenanigans as the show also drew major ire from Italian-American groups during their first season, leading to some boycotts by advertisers.

Love them or hate them, the show is definitely here to stay as the season 3 finale last week drew record ratings for MTV, with over 7.6 million viewers tuning in.

Speaking of season 4, RadarOnline is now reporting that there is a contract dispute brewing with some of the cast members. Apparently, cast members “Snooki, The Situation, JWoww and Pauly D have not finalized their contracts because they can’t agree on the amount.”

“As of last week Deena hadn’t signed her contract either but Ronnie, Sammi, and Vinny were done,” reveals a source~~, um does Deena not realize she’s very expendable?~~. “Time is short, everyone is getting concerned because they’re supposed to leave for Italy soon, I just hope they can settle it,” the source adds.

The cast also went through contract disputes last year as they went on a short strike before season three; eventually negotiating a 200% raise from $10,000 to $30,000 per episode.

And finally, the reunion show airs tonight on MTV at 10/9c. We will revisit the top moments of the show with the cast and also find out why Sammi and Ronnie broke up again for the 2000th time back in January.

PHOTOS – Jersey Shore’s Snooki Shows Off Bikini Body! Plus Ronnie & Sammi Talk Break Up

by Reality Tea on March 24th, 2011

It seems following their most recent break up in January, the poster couple for on-again off-again relationships, Ronnie Magro and Sammi Giancola, continue to remain broken up.

In the latest issue of Life & Style magazine, the Jersey Shore stars open up about their break up and the reason they might be done for good this time.

According to Ronnie, he has now realized he and Sam are just better off apart. “Some people are just toxic to each other,” says Ronnie, adding that Sammie’s lie about hooking up with a friend on the show was also a breaking point. “Cheating is where I draw the line,” states Single Ronnie, 25, adding that he’s too young for a relationship.

Sammi, 24, reveals the guy Arvin was just a friend, but now she says she’ll never speak to him again. “I was given a bad-luck streak, and it was like everything at once came tumbling down,” Sammi tells Life & Style.

“We’re better off career- and health-wise figuring out what we need for ourselves,” adds Ronnie.

And sad news for fans of the show as the season 3 finale airs tonight on MTV at 10/9c. On the 13th and final episode of the season, “summer comes to an end in the Season 2 finale, which finds one couple reaching a crossroads in their relationship, while another couple makes theirs official.”

In other Shore news, Snooki continues to enjoy the good life as she was photographed in her bathing suit not once, but twice in the past week. First, the Snooks hosted a pool party at Wet Republic in Vegas wearing a bikini and a cover up, and then days later she was photographed in Hawaii in a one piece. More photos of the Snooks below!

Jersey Shore’s JWoww Regrets Fighting with Sammi, Plus Sammi Reveals Why She Broke Up With Ronnie!

by Reality Tea on February 22nd, 2011

While the world recently saw Jersey Shore stars Jenni “JWoww” Farley and Sammi “Sweetheart” Giancola make up on the third season of the show, which was actually filmed months ago, it seems all is still well between the two castmates.

In a recent interview, JWoww reveals her biggest regret on the show, and no, it’s not that whole peeing publicly on the floor in a club thingy.

“I actually regret the fights that I did get in with Sam because I was in the same position she was a few years ago,” said JWoww on Sirus radio’s The Morning Mash Up!, referring to Sammi’s up-and-down relationship with Ronnie Magro. “I had a boyfriend lie and cheat, and I did not believe my girlfriends when they told me.”

And when it comes to her friendship with Snooki, JWoww states it is the real deal. “We talk every day,” she says of her friendship with the Snooks. “I spent Christmas Eve with her and her family, and that’s how we do. If I could take one thing out of the show, that would be a life-long friend.”

In other news, Sammi is now revealing the real reason she broke up with Ronnie on the show. Sammi pretty much confirms what we reported a while back, which is that she and her castmates were watching the Miami season 2 footage while filming season 3 back in Jersey.

“Yes, I was watching the Miami season,” Sammi reveals to the HollywoodLife. “It was the first time. So it was a little bit difficult going through that and actually seeing what happened.”

And despite making an early exit on season 3, Sammi says she will definitely be a part of the 4th season, set to film in Italy. “I am half Italian. I studied Italy in high school and in college,” she says. “The country is amazing!”

So is Sammi ready for another man in her life following her most recent January break up with Ronnie? “You never know!” is Sammi’s coy reply, though our bets are hedged on these two crazy kids getting back together by the time filming starts for season 4!

Jersey Shore’s Angelina Gets Engaged! Plus JWoww Talks Playboy & Season 4

by Reality Tea on February 17th, 2011

Former Jersey Shore star Angelina Pivarnick is now engaged!

Yes, E! News confirms that Angelina’s boyfriend of two months David Kovacs, popped the question at STYLE360 Sachika’s fashion show on Wednesday. And she said “yes” of course.

“It was so surreal,” she told E! of the big moment. “The ring is huge. So big.” David proposed with a with a 2.5 carat ring while other media outlets report that two have known each other for a few years. A picture of Angelina and David is below.

In other Shore news, JWoww told E! News Wednesday that the yet to be filmed season 4 will shoot a few weeks in Italy and then return to film the remainder of the season back in Jersey.

JWoww also revealed that season 4 should probably be the last. “If it ends, it has to end at the Jersey Shore,” said JWoww. “I think we would have done it all by then. What else could we do?…I just feel like after Italy and going back to Jersey one more time we probably accomplished it all.”

And what about her relationship status with Roger? JWoww revealed they are still together after 7 months of dating. “I’d love for him to come to Italy two or three times,” she said. “That’ll make us or break us, because if we can make it through Italy and not seeing each other so much, then we’re cool to move in and stuff like that.”

She also stated she is still considering posing for Playboy magazine once the show ends. See, JWoww’s contract with MTV reportedly bans her from posing nude for the men’s mag. “I do feel like it’s a strong thing for women to do. And as long as they cover up certain parts, I’m good,” she laughed. “We have to cover up the vajajay cooka. And then it’s like, Why not? You see my boobs out half the time anyway.”

Moving on to tonight following last week’s drama filled episode which showed Sammi and Ronnie breaking up for the umpteenth time. On the 8th episode this season, Ronnie is an emotional wreck following Sammi’s departure, and when the girls take her side, Ronnie feels like he has no friends left in the house. And believe it or not, Ronnie will also spend tonight’s episode trying to win Sammi back, you know, after destroying all of her things last week.

The new episode airs at 10/9c on MTV.
