The Situation XXX Material
The Situation can always count on the porn industry -- because a day after Abercrombie & Fitch publicly dissed him ... Hustler came to the rescue, offering the "Jersey Shore" star cash to wear its clothing line.
As we previously reported, A&F fired off a press release yesterday -- offering Sitch and other "Jersey" cast members money NOT to wear its clothes ... claiming, Sitch goes against the "aspirational nature of its brand."
But Hustler sees things differently -- and according to a rep for the adult company, it has offered to "pay Mr. Sorrentino to wear their clothing so that he can stay well dressed."
Larry Flynt tells TMZ, “The Sitch may not be good enough for Abercrombie & Fitch, but he’s good enough for us."
Be careful what you wish for.

Abercrombie & Fitch Stock PLUMMETS After Dissing 'Jersey Shore'
The Situation could have more market power than anyone imagined -- because a day after Abercrombie & Fitch offered him and the other "Jersey Shore" cast members cash NOT to wear its clothes ... the company's stock plummeted 9%.
Abercrombie's stock hit the new low today -- the first trading session since the company offered Sitch and the cast substantial $$$ to stop wearing A&F-branded products.
Abercrombie fired off a press release yesterday, offering the cast "a substantial payment" in return for not wearing its threads, claiming The Situation goes against the "aspirational nature of its brand."
A source directly connected with The Situation tells TMZ ... Abercrombie never personally contacted them, or in any way made a financial offer to stay away from A&F clothing.
Translation -- this stunt backfired big time.

The Kardashians Threatened They're Old Bags!
Kim, Kourtney, and Khloe Kardashian are a bunch of purse-stealing fakers -- at least according to a handbag designer, who claims the new Kardashian Kollection knocked off one of her signature bags.
Designer Monica Botkier fired off a cease and desist letter on Thursday to Sears -- the retailer currently hocking the Kardashian line -- insisting the $94 faux leather bag inarguably resembles her $600 Trigger Clyde Satchel.
According to Women's Wear Daily, Sears promptly pulled the KK bag from its website.
You see the wares, so we gotta ask ...

Cheating Website to Arnold Have We Got a T-Shirt For You!
Arnold Schwarzenegger's "I Survived Maria" t-shirt caused quite a stir this week -- but it's also earned the former Governator a chance to help out his former constituents ... if he's willing to sign a deal with a website for cheating spouses.
AshleyMadison.com wants Arnold to wear a t-shirt of their own design (see below). For his trouble, and if he's photographed just one time, they'll fork over $100,000 -- but not to Arnold. The company would make the check out to "the State of California to assist with its current deficit."
They've sent Arnold's lawyer a letter with the offer. We don't think they'll hear back.

Arnold Schwarzenegger I Survived Maria! The Ultimate Dis?
On the surface it's the unkindest cut of all ... Arnold Schwarzenegger out bike riding Sunday in Santa Monica, wearing a shirt that says, "I survived Maria" -- the woman whom he betrayed so badly.
But there's more to this story. We found out ... Arnold got the shirt last November, during a farewell party for the Governator's staff. The shirts were actually designed by Maria's staff, as a joke. The shirt they presented to Arnold had 2007 crossed out and 1977 scribbled above -- that's the year Arnold and Maria started dating.
And, we're told, Arnold and Maria are not at war. They're well along in the process of settling their divorce, and they speak frequently.
But all of this begs the question. Given the events of the last few months, should Arnold have worn the shirt in public?
