Jersey Shore

NYC police sources tell TMZ ice fell through a glass plate in the lobby area of a restaurant called Solo, sending shards of glass everywhere.

We're told only minor injuries were incurred.

UPDATE: Whew!!! Snooki is OK -- she just tweeted the above photo and this message: "Its okay Vin and I are still alive ... Omg roof just collapsed at the purim event! We thought the dj was beatin the beat hardcore but nope,the roof couldn't handle snooki and vin ..."

UPDATE 2: We're told Noth, Snooki,Vinny and a few others were covered in glass and escorted to a private room -- but the party is still going on strong.

Question is ...

The Situation from "Jersey Shore" was actually allowed to place the hottest woman on the planet, Bar Refaeli, on his shoulders during a recent photo shoot for Interview Magazine ... while they were both wearing next to nothing.

We actually called a rep for the magazine because we didn't believe the photos were real ... unfortunately, they are.

All together now ...

WWWWWWWHHHHHHHHHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?

This is all a part of a civil lawsuit Stephen Izzo filed in Ocean County Superior Court in New Jersey against Ronnie, MTV, Viacom and crew over the throwdown that left Izzo face down on a brick walkway ... and Ronnie with an assault charge.

In the suit, Izzo's lawyer Eugene LaVergne claims everyone involved in "Jersey's" production is profiting off Ronnie's alleged criminal act, which LaVergne says is against the law. Izzo is suing for invasion of privacy and for the unauthorized use of his likeness and image.

As for today's ruling, LaVergne said the judge decided the DVD could be released because Izzo's face is blurred out during the altercation and they were unable to prove the clip caused Izzo harm.

The fight continues on March 5, when they're due back in court.

This is the heartwarming tale of a guido who lost his wallet ... and the celebrity news website that helped him get it back.

Turns out Ronnie from MTV's "Jersey Shore" left his wallet on a US Airways flight on Friday morning. A passenger found it and turned it into a flight attendant. Another passenger saw this and decided to help out ... by contacting TMZ.

One of our producers called Ronnie's people to let him know his wallet was missing (he hadn't realized yet) and he could find it at US Airways help desk at LaGuardia Airport.

The wallet was eventually returned to Ronnie and all is well in the world.

Ronnie from "Jersey Shore" has finally issued a half-ass apology for the homophobic rant he spewed during one of his fights on the show ... blaming the whole ordeal on "the heat of the moment."

The disgusting rant in question was made public earlier this week when never-before-seen footage of his first "Jersey" brawl leaked onto the Internet.

In the video, Ronnie can be heard calling the guy a "f**king f**got" and a "f**king queer" right before he beats the hell out of him.

So yesterday, Ronnie posted the following message on his Twitter:

"I apologize to my fans, In the heat of the moment i said a lot of things i didnt mean and im very sorry."

So we gotta ask ...

Pauly D is now the third "Jersey Shore" star to try and lock down his nickname -- but this time, he wants to use the trademark strictly for the DJ booth.

TMZ has learned Pauly has applied for a trademark on the name "DJ Pauly D" -- strictly for use "in the nature of disc jockey services."

On the application, filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, Pauly points out that he has no intention of trying to exclusively own the rights to the word "DJ" -- apart from "Pauly D."

As we've previously reported, The Situation and Snooki have also applied for trademarks on their nicknames.

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.
