Jersey Shore

Sportin' drag makeup and an Ed Hardy-esque tunic dress, the "Jersey Shore" style icon somehow managed to snag a front row seat at Kim Kardashian's bebe runway show in NYC on Tuesday.

The J-WOWW doesn't wear Prada.

Another "Jersey Shore" star is trying to cash on her nickname -- this time it's Snooki ... and it appears she has her sights set on a BOOK!

The Snookster -- aka Nicole Polizzi -- has filed an application with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to gain the sole right to use her famous nickname.

According to the document, first obtained by TheSmokingGun.com, Snooki wants to use the trademark for "printed matter, namely books."

As we previously reported, The Situation is trying to trademark his nickname too -- but he wants to put his name right in your naughty places ... in the form of underwear.

It all went down minutes before Ronnie's first brawl on the show -- in which he and another bar patron could be seen talking trash to each other and then exchanging blows on the shore in front of their girlfriends.

But in the new never-before-seen footage -- Ronnie can also be seen and heard calling the guy a "f**king f**got" and a "f**king queer."

The footage was never aired on MTV.

A source from the production company behind the show who hasn't seen the clip tells us, "There were several gay staff members that worked on the show and Ronnie always respected them and everyone else."

The 27-year-old did his tired routine at a Suger Factory event in Vegas this weekend.

Time to cancel this Situation comedy?

Season two of "Jersey Shore" might be looking for a new locale, but we know Pauly D will be spending part of his summer in good ol' Boston.

Pauly D's got a new gig spinning at a club in Beantown called Royale. The club opens next month in the space that used to be the Roxy and is said to be the biggest club in all of Boston.

We're told Pauly, who is from nearby Rhode Island, will start up in May with the hope that things go well and the gig will turn into a more permanent (and lucrative one). Famous DJs like Paul Oakenfeld and David Guetta are expected to land gigs there as well.

Dave Ralph, a management consultant for the club, tells TMZ they are looking to bring a Miami feel to Boston -- and apparently a guido feel as well.

A "Jersey Shore" star is at the center of an internal police investigation in New York, this according to law enforcement.

TMZ has learned the Nassau County Police Department is looking into a tip they received regarding access to J-WOWW's personal information.

It's unclear who or what investigators are looking into -- but cops did confirm that the investigation began after someone filed a complaint on J-WOWW's behalf.

So far, no comment from J-WOWW's people.

Another "Jersey Shore" star is asking the cops for help -- claiming a computer hacker may have stolen her secret bank information when the cyber-thief busted into her Facebook and email accounts.

TMZ has learned Angelina Pivarnick filed an incident report with the NYPD yesterday, claiming all of her bank account information was stashed in emails that the bad guy had access to.

Angelina's manager tells us cops instructed Pivarnick to change all of her information as soon as she could -- which she did -- and fortunately for her, not one cent was taken.

In other words, her tanning budget remains as bloated as ever.

"Jersey Shore" quasi-star Angelina Pivarnick has her PR people working overtime to keep her relevant -- they just sent out a press release about her Facebook getting hacked.

The statement reads, and we quote, "Pivarnick has a shroud of chaos since the recent break up of her boyfriend, disagreements with cast mate and now, the reality star has suddenly become the target of a hacker!"

According to the reps, the cyber-jerk -- who also hacked Angie's Yahoo account -- apparently has access to "confidential information" from MTV. Both Yahoo and Facebook are "handling the matter."

Angelina's peeps say the authorities have been notified.

But The Sitch wasn't the only "Jersey Shore" star to go through some extra special security measures -- Pauly D was also pulled aside and inspected.

We're told both guys spent about 20 mins at the checkpoint before they were cleared to fly.

Vinny was supposed to host the "Kiss Away Cancer Date Auction" today but was grounded in Los Angeles due to the snowstorms ripping up the NE ... so he sent a video message instead.

During the clip, Vinny says he's bummed out that he got "detained" but swears that if the Yalies can raise $4,000, he'll do "whatever it takes" to come out to New Haven and party in the next few months.

But when Snook's new BF Emilio wasn't posing down in his man-panties -- dude found other ways to keep himself occupied ... like beer bongs and body paint. GTL.

TMZ has obtained pics of the new tattoo Vinny was branded with last week -- which we're told took the "Jersey" boy and his tattoo artist 10 hours to come up with.

The new tattoo features a symbol based off the Sicilian Trinacria -- a symbol of the Italian island -- and a statue of an angel.

Shockingly, there's no barbed wire anywhere in Vinny's new tat.

"Jersey Shore's" Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi touched down at JFK for some PDA with her new man last night -- and he's exactly the tan, pumped-up, blown-out guy you'd expect.

Snooki apparently regrets flipping the bird at the city of Philadelphia this morning -- and is now apologizing for her fowl finger.

The "Jersey Shore" star just apologized on her Twitter, posting "Sorry philly for the reaction this morning I got caught up in the moment and wing bowl is nuts!"

The whole thing went down at something called the Wing Bowl ... on live TV.

So much for the City of Brotherly Love.

TMZ spoke with the owner of the 3,200 square foot house who tells us ever since the show aired, demand to rent the place went through the roof.

The 6 bedroom, 3 bathroom house is currently going for $3,500 per night until May ... after that, it skyrockets up to $6,500 per night.

According to the owner, the legendary duck phone is still in the house -- as well as most of the couches, beds, tables and artwork that you saw on the show.

FYI -- the owner did mention that the home received a thorough cleaning after Snooki, The Situation and the rest of the gang moved out.
