Even better, the entire cast, including a pregnant Snooki, are all set to return.

“America’s favorite housemates will all return to their home-away-from-home, and the house dynamic is headed into unchartered territory… as their lives outside the “Shore” take off in exciting new directions,” said MTV in a press release. “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.”

Filming on the new season is set to begin this summer in Seaside Heights, NJ, when the Snooks will be in her third trimester.

This news is a bit surprising, as Snooki, 24, recently stated she did not want to live in the shore house while pregnant. “I’m not living in that house being pregnant. I don’t want to be one of those moms who’s pregnant in a club. It’s disgusting,” said Snooki to UsWeekly earlier this month.

It will definitely be interesting to see how MTV decides to handle Snooki’s pregnancy.

TELL US – HAPPY THAT JERSEY SHORE IS COMING BACK FOR A NEW SEASON? SHOULD MTV HIRE A NEW CAST? SHOULD A PREGNANT SNOOKI BE LIVING IN THE SHORE HOUSE?

The HuffingtonPost.com recently discussed an interview with Good Day New York in which Ronnie opened up about his on-and-off “situation’ with cast mate and sometimes love Sammi Sweetheart, revealing, “[In] Italy, me and Sammi did really well, Jersey we did really well. You put us in a bubble for four months, and then you put us back in a world where I go from seeing my girlfriend every day to seeing her once a week.”

The gym loving guido continues, “[T]o me, that’s not fair for myself and for her… we’re holding each other into a relationship that’s really not working right now. Right now me and Sam are just friends.” Hmmm… didn’t the dynamic duo see each other every day when they were in Miami?

That season had the greatest effect on the couple’s (and the viewers’) nerves. Ronnie shares, “The stuff that happened in Miami… they were showing in Jersey while we were filming. So all those fights that happened, she was watching what I did to her in Miami. Hearing it and seeing it, I think, just made it a lot worse.” Really, do you think?

Die hard viewers recall that the residual effects of Miami came to a boiling point in Seaside Heights when Ronnie trashed Sam’s room and belongings in a fit of roid rage. Ron is quick to admit that he regretted his horrendous behavior — especially after watching it play out on the small screen. However, despite the couple’s many throw downs, the only casualties were eyeglasses, Caboodles, bottles of hair gel, and cases of Xenadrine things. Ronnie is adamant that the pair never got physical with one another, stating, “I would never hit Sam.”

While Ronnie claims the pair are just friends, Sammi concurs… with a caveat. The Jersey girl tells HollywoodLife.com that she’s more than open to a reconciliation. She tells the site, “I am single [and] Ronnie is one of my great friends.”  She cryptically reveals, “We still love each other. Just things happen and right now I am single.”

Of course, when pressed about a possible reconciliation, Sammi coyly says, “You never know what tomorrow can bring.”

In the meantime, Sammi may have something to bide her time (and perhaps gain the attention of her Shore love) while waiting to get back together with romantic Rawn. And that something would make Hugh Hefner very, very proud. Wetpaint.com is reporting that Miss Sammi is considering shedding a layer of Wet Seal lycra and shame her clothes for the popular men’s magazine.

While her co-star Jenni J-WOWW Farley reportedly politely declined to pose in the buff for the magazine, Sammi isn’t totally opposed to the idea. Her only concern? “My boobs are real,” she says. “They would like, sag to the floor.”

Even though she maintains, “I’d feel weird about my boobs,” Sammi isn’t dismissing the notion altogether. She cites her favorite mantra of the minute, “You never know what tomorrow could bring.” Perhaps a pictorial shot at the Shore Store?

Apparently, Sam isn’t the only one of her Jersey friends who is thinking less is more. Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi recently tweeted a picture of herself on her self-proclaimed “no make-up day.” That picture is below. Honestly, I think Snooki looks amazing, and dare I say very pretty without all the face paint. She may want to make “no make-up day” the norm while only celebrating “enough lipstick, spray on tan, and eyeliner to sink a ship day” on Halloween.

Not bad no?

They’re back! Fresh off the cast’s European excursion to Florence, Italy — MTV has announced it will be kicking off the new year with an all new season of Jersey Shore!

Yes, America’s favorite drunken hotmesses housemates will return to Seaside Heights, NJ, when season five of the MTV hit series premieres on Thursday, January 5, 2012 (10/9c).

Back on their home turf and excited to be in their natural habitat, “the cast hits the ground running to get their “G.T.L” regimen back on schedule while also dealing with their evolving group dynamic amidst the tensions and hookup rumors left over from their time in Florence.”

To mark the special occasion, MTV also released a preview clip for the new season which features DJ Pauly D recovering from a tanning accident after burning his face when trying to get his skin tanned. He was trying to correct the paleness he suffered while in Italy. The rest of the cast is also shown as they prepare to hit their favorite club Karma.

As we reported, the cast began filming season 5 immediately following their return from filming season 4 in Italy. They did not get a break which in turn led to some more drama, such as Vinny Guadagnino quitting the show, only to return days later.

The preview clip is below!

TELL US – ARE YOU EXCITED ABOUT THE NEW SEASON OR OVER THE SERIES? THOUGHTS ON THE PREVIEW?

Jersey Shore fans were not shocked to hear that on-again off-again couple Ronnie Magro and Sammi Giancola broke up again recently, but they might however be surprised at the reason for the break up!

According to TheDirty.com, the same site that broke the recent Ashton Kutcher cheating scandal, Ronnie not only cheated on Sammi but he did it with another reality star!

The site is reporting that Ronnie hooked up with Bad Girls Club season 5 alum Morgan Brittany Osman! If you recall, Morgan made her mark on BGC by getting kicked off during the first episode of her season.

As for what happened between Ronnie and Morgan, “model” Arian Marie, a friend of Morgan’s, tells TheDirty site that Ronnie and Morgan first had sex in Florida in mid September. The two then met up again a week later at a club in Las Vegas. Arian says Ronnie disrespected her by not letting her sit at his table with him and Morgan so she decided to put him on blast on twitter.

Arian tweeted to Sammi on September 25: “So @MTVsammi I thought u should kno that @mtvronnie was f***ing my girl @Morganbritt724 last weekend n now they r at wet. Sorry.”

Ronnie then blew his fuse, like any normal guy would after just being outed to his girlfriend as a scumbag cheater, by making a series of nasty tweets about Arian, all of which he later deleted.

Next thing we know, Sammi stopped following Ronnie on twitter and Ronnie was announcing the two had broken up last week. Here’s to hoping it’s for good this time!

While Sammi has yet to officially comment on the break up, she did tweet – “Thank u to all my fans and supporters u all are amazing! Love u! Xoxo”

As for Morgan, she is keeping mum on the issue though theDirty sites states she “is not proud of her actions.” More photos of Morgan below!

TELL US – THOUGHTS ON THE LATEST? SURPRISED RONNIE CHEATED? DO YOU THINK THEY’RE DONE FOR GOOD THIS TIME?

In today’s shocking news, it turns out Jersey Shore’s resident dysfunctional couple Ronnie and Sammi are still going strong months after getting back together, you know, for the umpteenth time!

If you recall, the two called it quits back in January only to reunite while MTV filmed the 4th season in Italy back in May. Fast forward to today and Sammi reveals all is still well between the two.

“We’re going strong,” Sammi told the HollywoodLife blog at the Bebe runway show on Sept. 12. She also adds that now that she and Ronnie are back home from Seaside and working on their relationship away from the cameras, she is open to doing more seasons of the Jersey Shore! The cast just finished filming season 5 a few weeks ago.

“I’d love for as many ‘Jersey Shores’ that come, I would love to continue to do it, ” said Sammi also admitting she wouldn’t mind going overseas again to film because she “loves to travel.”

In other news, just days after her fellow meatball Snooki showed off her new tats, Deena Cortese is now doing the same! The show’s resident hot mess blast in a glass reveals she spent the weekend of August 20 getting a very personal saying inked on both of her feet: “Tell me I can’t and I’ll show you I can.”

“I did it because I like the saying,” Deena, 24, told Us Weekly. “I like proving people wrong.” She adds that the tats took over two hours to complete.

Photos of Deena’s dumb tattoo below!

TELL US – SURPRISED RONNIE & SAMMI ARE STILL TOGETHER? THOUGHTS ON DEENA’S NEW TAT: YAY? NAY?

It’s like Christmas, Jersey Shore style with two new episodes airing within 72 hours of one another. And of course, MTV needs to capitalize on the VMAs by finishing the Rawn/Mike smackdown right before the awards show airs. Brilliant.

The show begins with Sammi stupidly placing herself between a roided Rawn and a flipping out crazy insane Situation. Mike loses it and slams his head into the concrete wall before crumbling to the ground. Intelligence just abounds on this show. JWoww attempts to get some sort of reaction from a dazed and confused Mike, while the ever gentlemanly Rawn mocks Sammi’s tears and blames her for not telling him about Mike’s gossip sooner. “Stawp Rawn!” Poor Sammi is able to get out the way before being manhandled by her sensitive (ex) boyfriend.

Mike is alive and well, jumping up to punch the wall and call out Ronnie. The two start cage fighting and Sammi is shoved around in the middle before the pair is tackled by some Mtv payrolled muscle who have quite a time separating the douches dudes. Once apart, they continuing talk to crap to one another before Rawn switches gears and starts cussing out Sam. Sam won’t have any of it, and goes toe to toe with her unstable beau while the crying female housemates beg her to walk away from him for her own safety. It’s all very healthy. Rawn tells Sam that she means nothing to him and he’s been calling girls since he’s been in Italy. Meanwhile, the peanut gallery, Vinny and Pauly are making jokes about the Situation’s situation.

Rightfully fearful that Mike has a concussion, Snooki and JWoww call an ambulance to take him to the hospital. Mike is taken out on a backboard by the Italian EMS, while Sam seethes about Jenni’s attempts to calm Rawn. Sam thinks that is her job, although he flies back into a rage at the sight of her. Once Sammi puts herself to bed, Rawn begins to feel badly about what happened with Mike. Crying, he tells Jenni he just did his best. Give me a break, you freak. Vinny notes the most obvious of situations…Mike’s injuries are not a result of the fight, but rather of him getting so enraged that he rams his head into a wall. Who does that? No, seriously, who else does that?

Pauly stays with Mike in the hospital while Rawn goes to apologize to a bawling Sammi. He’ll be in the smush room when she’s composed enough to talk to him. Of course he will. On his way there, Rawn tries to hug it out and apologize to Vinny who tells Rawn he’s a scary person. Truer words, Vin, truer words. Once in the smush room, Rawn tells Sam that while he loves her more than he loves himself (self-hatred much?), he thinks they are toxic as a couple. Sammi’s jealousy rears its head again when all she wants to know about are the girls he’s been calling since in Italy. Sam determines that she wants nothing to do with Rawn and he gets pissed she won’t let him speak his mind. How does she expect him to clear his conscience? Geez.

Ronnie decides it’s time to go home, so he’s packing up his Ed Hardy gear and handcuff jewelry to head back to the States. Sammi’s been playing with his mind, and that is not okay. Yeah, that is totally how I perceived it as well. Vinny tries to reason with Ronnie, telling him he needs to stay so he can grow as a person. He’s so Dr. Phil (Rawn’s words, not mine). Vinny takes a call from an Italian florist which he quickly nips in the bud (flower pun intended. Boom!). As much as Rawn hates Mike, he decides to reassemble his bed so he has a place to sleep in the event he’s allowed to come home. He’s such a softie. Mike comes back home wearing a dead sexy neck brace. Rawn gives Mike a feeble apology, and something tells me round two will happen shortly.

Ronnie needs to take some time to hang out with the person who means the most to him….Rawn. Ronnie and Rawn enjoy working out together. Snooki is excited about flowers from Jionni. Vinny thinks the house is back together since Mike’s head trauma wasn’t as bad as once thought. The roommates are beyond over the drama created by the Rawn/Sam dynamic. They meet Ronnie for lunch and express their concern. Rawn, a true romantic, opines that you can’t help who you love. So deep, Ronnie.

Snooks takes a call from Jionni and she tries to bring him out of his shell a bit. He’s sheltered and doesn’t like talking having phone sex knowing that her roommates and a camera crew are listening. What a prude. Because she can’t let sleeping dogs lie is the bigger person, Sammi selflessly returns all the gifts Rawn has gotten her while in Italy. She places them all in a pile in his bed so he won’t overlook them. Mike feels alienated because no one is showing him enough attention, and the roommates feel like they are in plaintiffs’ lawyer commercial when they see his stellar neck brace. Rawn finds Sammi’s loot and proceeds to throw it violently into a trash can. Sam can’t believe he’s acting so stupidly when she was trying to be mature by returning the stuff. But, if Rawn’s going to throw it away, she isn’t above fishing it out of the garbage and reclaiming it. Don’t judge.

Rawn awkwardly acts like nothing really happened towards Mike, which sends the Situation into a fit of giggles. Mike explains that he headbutted the wall to 1) avoid Rawn beating the crap out of him; and 2) to look crazy enough that Rawn wouldn’t want to continue fighting him. Mission accomplished. Snooks is thrilled to hear laughter coming from the guys’ room. The girls head out to dinner pre-clerb, and reflect on how strong the female bonds are this season as opposed to previous seasons. Jenni, Snooki, and Deena try to advise Sam on how to deal with the guys’ sh*t stirring. Mike is under strict doctor’s orders to stay home for a week, but the rest of the gentlemen head out to the clerb, excited to be partying with Single Rawn.

In the clerb Pauly D‘s hair offends a local who isn’t too thrilled his lady friend is grinding up on the DJ. Pauly can’t just continue dancing, he must follow the guy who looked at him funny and incite a riot in the clerb. Egos. Pfffttt. Vinny is able to block Pauly and later reveals he was “white-boy wasted.” Exactly what kind of wasted is that? Snooki finds a soft spot for Mike. While she can’t forgive him for the gossip he’s spread, she doesn’t want to have anger between them. Mike takes this as they are in love and Jionni’s toast. Tomatoes, tom-mah-toes. Rawn contemplates bringing home a grenade just to get a rise out of Sammi (last season, anyone?), but thinks better of it because he’s “an adult.” Instead, he brings home a dozen roses for his ex. Her first question is, where is the other girl and why are you being weird? They are taking the fun out of dysfunction. Doing what they do best, Rawn trashes the flowers and Sam rescues them…if she’d only said thank you right off the bat. Good gracious.

No previews for Thursday, so until then we’re on pins and needles!

WHAT DID YOU THINK ABOUT THE EPISODE AND THE RECAP? WILL SAMMI AND RAWN RECONCILE? WILL THE NECK BRACE COMPANY PULL AN ABERCROMBIE AND FITCH AND PAY MIKE NOT TO WEAR THE APPARATUS?

Weeks after the rumor mill stated Jersey Shore star Snooki was actually in talks to do Dancing With The Stars, the self proclaimed guidette is now speaking out on the rumors.

And as it turns out, the Snooks is actually interested in putting on her dancing shoes! “I didn’t get asked [to be on 'Dancing'], but if I do, dude, I’m bringing the fist pump to the floor,” Snooki told Access Hollywood Live on Wednesday. She added, “If they ask me I’ll do it!”

Meanwhile, Snooki, 23, appeared on Good Morning America yesterday during which she actually talked marriage and making “guido babies” with her beau Jionni LaValle.

“I’ve calmed down already. I don’t hook up anymore,” the Snooks told GMA. “I’ll always be this crazy, fun person, but when it’s time to get married, I’m going to be an amazing wife.”

“Jionni is a great guy so I’m so down to making Guido babies with him,” Snooki stated though adding the guido babies will have to wait a bit. “I’m only 23, but eventually I would love to get married.”

Moving on to tonight’s all new episode of the Jersey Shore which has castmates JWoww and Sammi butting heads. In the preview below, Ronnie and Sammi’s volatile relationship appears to take a toll on their roommates while in Italy.

In the clip, Vinny makes it clear he is over Sammi’s erratic behavior when around her then ex-boyfriend Ronnie during a drunken night out. “I’m done with him and you being drunk,” Vinny tells Sammi. “When Ronnie and Sammi are drunk, they turn into different people and there’s no getting through to them,” he later states in the clip.

JWoww then chimes in, agreeing with Vinny. “This needs to stop! You’re not in high school and you need to grow up and find a happy medium,” snaps JWoww (Preach it sister!). Sammi however gets defensive. “I have feelings for Ron and I always will,” she angrily tells the gang. “It’s hard living with your ex-boyfriend and going out. I’m dealing with it the best I can, and I feel like I’ve been doing pretty f–king good!”

The preview clip is below! And as we reported Sammie and Ronnie did indeed get back together in Italy, and it appears they are still going strong today… for the time being.

TELL US – THOUGHTS ON SNOOKI WANTING TO DO DWTS & MAKING GUIDO BABIES? PLUS THOUGHTS ON THE PREVIEW & TONIGHT’S EPISODE?

With less than a week until the season 4 premiere, the Jersey Shore cast is starting to do some press to promote the show while also filming season 5 at the same time.

In a new interview with Extra, Snooki discusses her car crash in Florence, Italy which ultimately led to her license being suspended. “The brakes weren’t really working in our Fiat. They were, like, old. I tried to use the brakes and they didn’t work,” said Snooki of the fender bender. “So to avoid the cops, I ran right into a wall so I didn’t hurt anybody.”

Snooki adds that the cast stayed close to home following the crash. “The only time we [drove was] to the gym, so after that nobody went to the gym — we’d just walk around,” she tells Extra.

Moving on to the on-again off-again poster couple Ronnie and Sammi. As we reported weeks ago, the two once again got back together during filming in Italy.

And surprisingly, they are still going strong today though something tells us they’ve probably had 10 breakups between then and now. While talking to Extra, Sammi admits they are indeed “back together,” adding they are now “moving forward each day in the right direction.” Uh uh. When Ronnie is asked if he thinks fans want to see them back together, he answered – “I think fans want to see us together but not fighting. They want to see us together and happy.” Something tells us fans would rather not see them together at all since that always equals fighting.

In the same interview, Vinny reveals we will have to wait and see if he got to meet his family in Italy. And The Situation’s favorite Italian phrase? It translates into “let’s go back to the house” of course.

The Italian season 4 of Jersey Shore premieres August 4 on MTV at 10/9c.

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!

More drama for the Jersey Shore cast.

The same night Ronnie and Sammi were photographed holdings hands in the streets of Florence, Italy, before getting into a reported fight inside of a club later that night, Ronnie and The Situation also got into a fight, except it was a violent fist fight!

The above photos were taken yesterday (the day after the fight) as both Ronnie and The Situation returned back home. The Sitch returned home after a visit to the hospital, while Ronnie can be seen applying bandages to his fist.

In the pic above, The Sitch can be seen sporting cuts and in another photo by a different photo agency, he can be seen sporting a shiner courtesy of Ronnie. As for Ronnie’s injuries, his fist suffered some cuts and bruises.

According to TMZ, the fight took place Monday night, presumably inside the home the roomates share. While full details about the fight have yet to come out, what is certain is that sources tell TMZ it all began with a blowout between Ronnie and Sammi… of course.

And it seems the roomates are all Team Ronnie as Ronnie has since been photographed with most of them out and about since the incident while The Situation has yet to be seen in public since the above picture was taken.

A close up of Ronnie’s fist is below. You know what they say, you can take the kids out of the Jersey Shore but…

TELL US: THE SITUATION’S ASS KICKING – HE HAD IT COMING? DO YOU FEEL BAD FOR HIM?

UPDATE – TMZ is reporting that Ronnie and The Situation have buried the hatchet and are back to being friends again. The two reportedly had a long talk following their fight.

As for what caused the fight, sources say after a heated argument with Sammi on Monday night, Ronnie returned home and “turned his anger towards Mike.” He started talking smack about The Sitch’s family causing Mike to snap and hence the fight. The two fought briefly before it was “quickly broken up.” Ronnie then decided to blow off some steam by punching a wall, which tore up his knuckles.
