Rent the 'Jersey Shore' House for $2,500, Since the Cast Isn't Coming Back

October 25, 2011 at 10:05 AM | by | Comments (0)

You won't find it on AirBnb, but you will stumble upon it on the same block it's been on since before the MTV Jersey Shore came in and GTL-ed all over its six bedrooms and roofdeck. Naturally we're talking about the Jersey Shore house—the very one featured in Seasons 1 and 3 of the popular reality show. It's up for rent to regular folks for a whopping $2,500 a day, according to the AP.

Checking out the official listing on Seaside Realty, we can see that the place comes complete with six bedrooms, three bathrooms, three parking spaces and the option of catering or getting a rental DJ. We're going to go ahead and assume that the place is booked up for New Year's already, but now would be the time to begin scooping up summer 2012 dates.

Alas, the cast of the Jersey Shore will not return to film a fifth season at the house, as two spin-off shows are already in the works. The first will follow the further adventures of Snooki and J-Woww as they become roommates, while the second trails DJ Pauly D around the world, making various music and celebrity appearances. Filming on both will commence this late autumn, with the series to hit the air in 2012.

The Cast of 'Jersey Shore' Finally Says Ciao to Filming in Florence

Where: Florence, Italy
June 20, 2011 at 8:35 AM | by | Comments (0)


We hope the cast reviewed our guide to interacting with human statues

It is again safe to travel to Florence without unwittingly ending up an extra on Jersey Shore. That was fast. Just as it still seems like the eight-strong cast of the MTV show were settling into their Italian digs, they're already out. The eight weeks of filming for the fourth season wrapped this weekend and Snooki, J-Woww, The Situation and assorted other characters have already left the (historical) building, flying out of Florence and back to New Jersey.

That's right; while the Italy season debuts on MTV on August 4, the cast will be in the midst of the fifth season, to be shot back in their old stomping grounds of Seaside Heights, NJ. Their pay-per-episode estimate? Definitely over six figures, says Daily Mail. With that you think they could afford some nicer luggage (see their bags here).

America Has Successfully Shipped the 'Jersey Shore' to Florence...For Now

Where: Florence, Italy
May 16, 2011 at 9:53 AM | by | Comments (0)

Somehow—no doubt thanks to MTV's greasing the cogs—the Jersey Shore gang has made it overseas to their temporary new home in Florence, Italy. After some logistical hiccups that delayed their arrival for filming their fourth season, Snooki, Vinnie, J-Woww, Sammi, Mike, Ronnie, Deena and Pauly D all dropped their luggage and picked up the Dirty Italian phrasebooks this weekend at their townhouse in centro.

Of course the Daily Mail is practically stalking the cast, breathlessly reporting on every store they stop in and every cobblestoned corner they turn, followed as they are are curious crowds.

Thus far they haven't done anything particularly interesting or culture-offending, but they are using paper maps. Like, umm, MTV couldn't get them smartphones with an international plan for this, where they could just bring up Google Maps? Perhaps seeing them attempt to fold a big paper map is part of the fourth season's humor? Whatever, we're bored now and unless J-Woww starts sleeping with Berlusconi, we're about to tune out.

Will 'Jersey Shore' Season Four in Florence Be Finito Before It's Even Begun?

Where: Florence, Italy
May 9, 2011 at 9:25 AM | by | Comments (0)

Far be it for us to leave you without the latest Jersey Shore news, which this week involves some international conflict. It seems that the city of Florence has revoked some of the filming permits required for MTV to follow the Guidos and Guidettes for their fourth season of hijinks. The shooting was due to begin and Snooki has already packed her hair straightener and Paul D his hair gel, but this holdup could mean something more than a delay.

Already Florence's mayor is against Jersey Shore's coming to town, and with the Palazzo Vecchio and Uffizi Gallery specifically turning away the crew, we wonder if MTV's smooth talkers will able to iron this all out and make the Italy season happen at all. Summer is, after all, the busiest tourist season in Florence and we're sure the city isn't keen on having these American brats garnering more attention (and crowds) than Italy's own ancient masterpieces and landmarks.

Snooks On A Plane!

March 17, 2011 at 4:41 PM | by | Comment (1)

Yes, that is Snooki from MTV's Jersey Shore sitting in First Class(!) onboard an Virgin America plane. And yes, she is doing more than making use of the in-flight WiFi; she's plugged in her carry-on hair straightener to the seat's outlet and is freshening up before arriving back to New York from a jaunt to LAX.

This is something of a follow-up to our story on Monday, where we reported that Ronnie—Snooki's co-star—was flying Virgin America while Snooki stuck with Southwest Airlines. But ahhhh...not so! It seems as though Snooki gets around, and just might have more frequent flyer miles than business travelers, the way her guest appearances have her flying all over the country.

Soon she'll have to choose an international airline however, as season four of Jersey Shore is set to film in—wait for it—Italy! Lord help us all.

Jersey Shore Jetting: Ronnie Flies Virgin America While Snooki Sticks with Southwest

March 14, 2011 at 2:16 PM | by | Comments (0)

We know it might be hard to believe that anyone still cares enough about the Jersey Shore to cause them to travel around the country, doing appearances. But it's true. Everyone from "The Situation" to Vinnie are out there, flying around, hosting club nights and endorsing weird diet and beauty products. Recently, Ronnie and Snooki separately tweeted about how much fun they were having flying on a couple low-cost carriers:

@MTVRonnie: Virgin American Airlines is Dopppppeee... Like a kid in a toy store lol

Ignore for a moment all the things wrong in that tweet and just imagine the wonder on Ronnie's face as the cabin mood lighting came on, and he discovered the WiFi. Yea, it's no wonder MC Hammer loves VX too.

The Magic of Taiwanese CGI Gives a Preview of 'Jersey Shore' in Italy

Where: Italy
January 27, 2011 at 2:21 PM | by | Comments (0)

Just in case you simply can't wait to see what kind of cultural blunders the Jersey Shore crew makes when they film their fourth season in Italy in the spring, the masters of Taiwanese CGI have thankfully created a preview.

We love how MTV execs ship Snooki and gang off in a shipping container, and how they head straight to an Olive Garden. We won't spoil the whole thing for you, but do keep watch what happens in the canals of Venice. If only Venice wasn't so strict about such things, we could definitely see it actually happening (with "the Situation" at the wheel).

Will 'Jersey Shore' ruin Italy? Probably not. Will 'Jersey Shore' inspire many summer trips to the country? It's very likely. In fact, we bet they do more for Italian tourism than Oprah did for Australia. And that is kinda sad.

'Jersey Shore' Finds a Way to Get People Watching Again: They're Going to Italy!

Where: Italy
January 25, 2011 at 3:32 PM | by | Comments (0)

The motley Jersey Shore gang is already gearing up to film their fourth season. Jeez that makes us feel old, also ashamed that we know that. What was once a show that exploited stereotypes, and relishes in pointless violence and binge drinking is now becoming a show that exploits stereotypes, relishes in pointless violence and binge drinking...in Italy! That's right; Jersey Shore is leaving these shores for a springtime of filming their antics overseas, in the country they so glorify.

MTV spilled the beans earlier today, and they hint that the show will see Vinny visiting his first generation relatives in the homeland. Who wants to meet Vinny's family? No one! We want to see them embarrassing themselves by mispronouncing Italian in front of actual Italians and then likely spilling gelato down their shirts.

Jersey Shore Tourists Get a Bad New Nickname: 'FOOTs'

September 14, 2010 at 9:34 AM | by | Comments (0)

Have you been watching this second, Miami-based season of MTV's hit reality show Jersey Shore? Yea, us neither; the group just doesn't work as well when removed from their Seaside Heights, NJ element. Luckily, they've returned back there to film the third season, which should air this winter.

The show originally began building popularity during its first season thanks in part to all of the controversy it stirred up. The State of New Jersey was angry, Italian-Americans were angry, other "Guidos" were angry...the ire just didn't end and thus, "Jersey Shore" didn't either. Now the negativity has spread to include Jersey Shore locals, who are lashing out against the fresh hordes of Snooki-inspired tourists with new nicknames and even bumper stickers.

Will HBO's 'Boardwalk Empire' Have Tourists Flocking to Atlantic City?

August 30, 2010 at 1:41 PM | by | Comments (0)

September 19. That's the date which could turn the New Jersey town of Atlantic City into a star, and bring back the bling-happy, moneyed tourists chased out by Snooki and her Jersey Shore crew.

On that date, the HBO show Boardwalk Empire debuts, and it's already got a recipe for big-time success. First off, it's directed by Martin Scorsese, and it's based on a book about the Prohibition-era corruption of the gambling town adapted by the screenwriter behind The Sopranos. Throw in $50 million dollars spent on just the pilot episode to make it the most expensive single show ever done by HBO, and you've got a lot of hype that needs to deliver.

'Jersey Shore' Returns Home to Seaside Heights for Season Three

July 28, 2010 at 12:36 PM | by | Comments (0)

Last week we asked where the guidos and guidettes of Jersey Shore should plant their overtanned selves for season three of the MTV show. Looks like the crew is returning to its roots, since the fist-pumpers have been spotted filming on the Jersey Shore.

Not only is the cast spending the summer GTL-ing in Seaside Heights, but a new guidette has joined the group. According to Radar, the new roomie is named Deena Nicole Cortese, and her BFF Snooki reportedly helped her get cast.

Where Will 'Jersey Shore' Film Season 3?

July 20, 2010 at 9:06 AM | by | Comments (0)

The third season hasn't even aired on Mtv yet and already the fist-pumping cast of The Jersey Shore is talking about a third season. Since they've already taken over Miami Beach and of course, Jersey Shore proper, where would they go this time?

Well, we may never get to know since the gang of gelled-up friends is "on strike," demanding more than the $10,000 per episode that they're getting paid now for the second season, and even that amount took some negotiating. The issue here is that the members of the cast can earn more by making club appearances and endorsing products than they can actually doing the show. And now that Mike "The Situation" has a book coming and DJ Pauly D is becoming an in-demand party DJ, we can see how this is happening.
