Jersey Shore

Law enforcement in Montlcair, NJ tells TMZ the event at the 501 Lounge got waaaaaay overcrowded, so the fire department shut the whole club down.

A source inside the club tells us J-WOWW and Vinny were there for the event and they actually had to be hidden away in a closet while the club was cleared out.

They escaped unscathed.

Anthony Pisciotto Jr., owner of OnCampusDrama.com, shot these pics of Ronnie oozing his Ron Ron Juice all over a couple of non-Sammi guidettes on Long Island.

TMZ spoke with a rep from the bar -- the Dublin Down Tavern -- who confirmed Ronnie was there on Tuesday hosting an event ... but his GF was nowhere to be found. No word on who the mystery woman is.

FYI -- Ronnie's Facebook profile still says that he's in a relationship. Check back tomorrow.

Never fall in love on the "Jersey Shore."

It's all over an incident featured on the MTV reality show -- where Ronnie was arrested after bragging about knocking out some guy in "one shot." Yesterday, Ronnie and GF Sammi "Sweetheart" were on B100 in Davenport, Iowa, where they said, "The case is dismissed, all the charges were dropped."

But according to the Ocean County Prosecutor's office, the investigation is ongoing -- and the fist pumping reality star still faces a charge of 3rd degree aggravated assault.

Despite the victim -- a guy named Stephen Izzo -- telling TMZ he's going to show up to Ronnie's court date in a couple weeks, we're told no date has actually been set.

Stephen Izzo -- the guy who got his ass kicked -- took to the Internet after the episode aired ... and typed the following disgusting tirade:

"lets get something straight what u didnt see is i never fought ronnie i was fighting...those N**GER bouncers when that bitch ran over and snuck me..then got stomped out by those 3 n**gers as he ran away."

Izzo also uses several other slurs in various updates to his profile, including the word "mulian" ... which is a misspelled racist Italian-American term for Black people.

UPDATE: Izzo tells TMZ, "First of all these guys pushed my female friend on the ground. But I was on a show that uses the derogatory slang word for Italians, 'guido.' I am not a racist, I was using a slang word just the same as the way guido is used on the show."

Stephen Izzo tells TMZ he was trying to fight MTV security after they broke up his group's expletive-filled tussle with the "Jersey" cast -- when Ronnie came out of nowhere and delivered a haymaker to the back of his head. Izzo says the cuts on his face were caused by his sudden headfirst fall into the unforgiving brick ground below.

Izzo now wants a rematch with Ronnie ... and this time he wants it to be a fair fight.

Snooks likes to take a bite out of the, er, Big Apple.

UPDATE: In a message straight to TMZ, Snookers just Tweeted "it was not a random brajole it was VINNYS COUSIN thanks. i keep it in the jerz shore fam no creepers allowed."

The 23-year-old ingenue showed off her awards on last night's amazing episode of the fist-pumping reality show.

J-WOWW would like to thank the person that made this all possible ... her doctor.

Frank Pallone, Jr. (D-NJ) put the Snooki Gang on blast yesterday in D.C., saying the "Shore" kids give the notoriously clean Garden State "a bad image."

PS -- We asked him to fist pump for us ... didn't go so well.

Whether it's against drunk gym teachers or a couple of charging "hippos," Sammi's sweetheart says the group's throwdowns are "almost self defense ... we can't walk away, we gotta do what we have to do"

The guy who punched Snooki in the face on "Jersey Shore" won't even be punching the clock anymore -- TMZ has learned he's being fired from his job as a gym teacher at a high school in New York.

NY City Department of Education says they are drafting Brad Ferro's termination letter right now -- and once he gets it, he'll have 30 days to pack up his stuff and split from North Queens Community High School.

Dude had already been banished to a teacher reassignment center in the wake of the punch -- but now, because he was found guilty of simple assault for the Snooki attack -- school officials tell us, "the termination process is underway."

Talk about a black eye on your permanent record ...

The 21-year-old "guidette" got $10K to get crunk, shake and fist pump her orange skin/poof at the Seminole Hard Rock ... the same place where Anna Nicole Smith died.

To think just a month ago Snooks was doing all this for free.

Being a guidette is a full time job -- and for "Jersey Shore's" Snooki, it pays five figures.

TMZ has learned the Princess of Poughkeepsie is getting paid $10,000 to show up tonight to Anna Nicole Smith's death site, the Seminole Hard Rock in Florida -- where she'll be hosting a "Fist Pumping Competition" at a club called Opium.

Snookers and her poof aren't the only ones making big bucks though -- we're told The Situation and Pauly D make at least $7,500 an appearance ... and the ab-tastic wonder is booked every weekend for the next two months!

FYI -- When the crew came to TMZ Live, they made zero dollars.

The self-described "guidette" partied at an Upstate New York bar near her hometown Monday night and gave an over-gelled patron/fan/victim a taste of her down home hospitality.

Snooki is a shore thing!

Question is ...
