DJ Pauly D -- Rollin' On Really Expensive Dubs Too
The "Jersey Shore" kids are single-handedly saving the luxury car industry -- TMZ has learned DJ Pauly D just dropped a frickin' fortune on a brand spankin' new 2011 Mercedez-Benz S550.
Our car sources tell TMZ ... the fully-loaded ride cost the blowout baron upwards of $120,000 ... his first major purchase after wrapping up the third season of "Jersey Shore."
We're told the car is so sick it has seats that massage you while you drive ... which, when we think about it, sounds like a terrible idea.
As TMZ first reported, The Situation recently bought a ridiculously expensive Bentley.
Your move, Snooks.

Snooki's Community Service -- Scoopin' Poop
TMZ now knows how Snooki spent day 1 of her community service last Sunday -- turns out the "Jersey Shore" star didn't just take care of neglected animals ... she spent most of the day picking up their crap.
According to the general manager of Popcorn Park Zoo in New Jersey -- the animal shelter where Snooks volunteered on Sunday -- the world famous guidette spent her time cleaning out animal pens ... a task that involved a whole lot of poop removal.
As we previously reported, Snooks was in court today -- where she pled guilty to a crime following her sloppy arrest in Seaside Heights back in July -- and the judge sentenced her to two days of community service ... on top of a $533 fine.
She already got credit for her day at Popcorn Park -- and according to the judge, she'll spend her second day with animal control on the Shore.

Judge to Snooki: You're a Lindsay Wannabe
"Jersey Shore's" Snooki just got schooled by a New Jersey judge, who called her a "Lindsay Lohan wannabe" ... after she pled guilty to a crime after a drunken escapade on a Seaside Heights beach.
As we first reported, Snooki was arrested in Seaside Heights, NJ on July 30 ... after she was spotted using a beer bong and falling off a bicycle.
Judge Damian Murray scoffed at Snooki in court, saying he didn't know if her antics were scripted, adding, if it was scripted Snooki needed to decide "if it was worth trading your dignity for a paycheck."
But that wasn't the end ... The judge called Snooki's actions "rude and self-indulgent."
Snooki pled guilty to disturbing the quiet enjoyment of the beach but the disorderly conduct charge and another count were dismissed.
Snooki could have been thrown in the slammer for 90 days, but the judge let her skate with 2 days community service and a $533 fine.
Snooki addressed the court and said she was "very
embarrassed" and says she was never in this kind
of situation before.

Lindsay Lohan's Mom 'Disappointed' in Snooki's Judge
Dina Lohan didn't find it funny "ha ha" -- or funny at all -- when the judge called Snooki a "Lindsay Lohan wannabe" -- and now she's chastising him as if he was her own kid.
Dina tells TMZ, "The family is very disappointed that a judge would say that in a court of law."
Judge Damian Murray ripped into Snooks today during her court appearance for basically being sloppy drunk on the beach.
Lindsay's atttorney Stephanie Ovadia added, "The comments were very unprofessional."
Of course, compared to Lindsay's recent history with judges -- Murray's exchange with Snooki seems pretty lighthearted.

'Jersey Shore' -- Farewell for Now
Snooki and the rest of the "Jersey Shore" cast moved out of their house in Seaside Heights, NJ yesterday -- they've wrapped shooting on Season 3.

But Sitch isn't rollin' alone ... his brother, Marc Sorrentino, got a slightly less-expensive 2008 Bentley.
Our Sitch sources say both cars were paid for through the brothers' company -- MPS Entertainment ... brokered by Andy Eminger from Celebrity Rental.
We're told the boys are getting the cars suped up with custom rims and sweet sound systems.
Only in America.

The Situation's Gonna Be Late to the 'Dance'
The Situation's "Dancing with the Stars" career has already hit a major setback -- TMZ has learned dude will get significantly less time to practice for the show ... all thanks to "Jersey Shore."
Sources connected to The Situation tell us the "stars" are scheduled to begin rehearsing on Monday -- but since Sitch still has serious "Jersey Shore" obligations (taping, appearances, etc) that dude won't be able to slip on his Capezios until at least September 8.
... and since it'll probably take a couple more days to shake that nasty "Jersey Shore" hangover ... who knows when Sitch could be ready to begin practicing for the September 20 premiere.
Bottom line -- Sitch will get almost half the prep time as Bristol Palin, Kurt Warner, David Hasselhoff and Audrina Patridge ... then again, he's the only one with a job.

Snooki -- Carefully Preserved in Alcohol
Snooki has officially been immortalized on the "Jersey Shore" -- according to the owner of her favorite bar, the famous guidette's drink of choice has been permanently renamed in her honor.
Beachcomber Bar & Grill owner Michael Carbone tells TMZ, Snooki comes into the bar every other day and orders the same thing -- a cocktail called the "Scooby Snack" -- which contains coconut rum, creme de bananes, melon liqueur, pineapple juice and whipped cream.
Because of her loyalty to the Seaside Heights establishment -- and all the business she attracts -- the bar has officially decided to rename the drink "Snooki Snack" ... effective immediately.
For those who can't remember which drinking hole this is -- it's the same place Snooks got punched in the face last season.

The Situation Wants You to Drink His Protein ... Vodka
If you have ever thought to yourself, "Man, I want to drink whatever vodka The Situation drinks. And I wish it had protein in it too. But nah, that will never happen" -- boy, do we have a surprise for you!
Sources tell TMZ the "Jersey Shore" money machine scored a $400,000 signing bonus to be the spokesman for a vodka company called Devotion.
But this ain't no ordinary booze -- Devotion contains a clear protein called Casein ... which can support an increase in lean body mass and a decrease in body fat if the user is also on some sort of weight training program.
We're told The Sitch's brother, Marc Sorrentino, brokered the deal through the company they run together, MPS Entertainment.
As we previously reported, Sitch is expected to rake in $5 million this year -- we're guessin' he'll drink to that.

The Situation Makes More Money Than He Should
In news that is sure to make you re-evaluate all your life choices -- The Situation is estimated to make more than $5 million in 2010, this according to the Hollywood Reporter.
The Sitch takes in roughly $60,000 an episode -- after bonus incentives, a source tells HR. Dude is also expected to rake in $1 million this year in appearance fees.
And there's more -- Situation is also getting paid for "developing" several products -- including an ab-centric workout video and a line of chewable supplements.
The HR also claims Sitch scored a six-figure deal to promote a line of vodka -- plus he'll get partial ownership in the company. He's also released a rap song on iTunes and has signed endorsement deals with Vitamin Water, Reebok and a clothing company.
And get this -- The Situation got a six-figure advance on his autobiography. The book on tape will probably be fascinating.

Snooki's Ex -- I Should Have Made a Sex Tape!
Spencer Pratt's guido protégé Emilio isn't quite on his level yet ... because he didn't shoot a sex tape with Snooki like Spencer did with Heidi -- but he wishes he had!
Emilio shot a dating show pilot for Spencer's production company called "Fist Pumping 4 Love." He tells us he thinks the Speidi sex tape is "an amazing idea" and he envies Spencer for it.
But rest easy -- there is no sex tape with Emilio and ex-GF Snooki. Emilio says, "Wish I did that with Snooki. But I'm still learning and wasn't as smart as him."
It's probably a good thing -- the world isn't ready for a Snooki sex tape.
