Snooki Begins Shooting New Reality Show
The new Snooki/Jwoww reality show began filming yesterday -- and instead of shooting on the Jersey Shore or sunny Miami ... they shot in a snowy New York suburb 75 miles outside of NYC. Gym, shovel, laundry!
Snooks shot scenes for her new show at her parents' house in Marlborough, NY. In the clip, she's riding in a Marlborough Fire Department car with her dad -- who's a fireman -- as they pull into the home and walk inside.
Of course, by the time MTV is done editing it ... she'll have fallen in the snow three times and pulled her father down with her ... while doing shots of tequila with three juiceheads.

When Snooki Met Kim K
For a brief moment, the Earth stopped rotating on its axis and every voice ceased to be heard ... when Snooki and Kim Kardashian came face-to-face at last night's Mavericks/Nets game in New Jersey.
And soon after, all was right with the world again.

The Situation Wrangles Himself Another New Ride
Another week, another new car for The Situation.
This time it's a 2011 Jeep Wrangler Sahara -- two of 'em, actually ... one for himself and one for his brother Marc. The cars were purchased through the boys' company MPS Entertainment and we're told Unique Autosports Miami did the customization -- which included brand new leather interiors, a sound system complete with subwoofers, and 22" rims. Total value ... about $75,000 each.
According to our source, The Sitch was inspired by Diddy who recently got a Jeep just like it.
Apparently they share a love of cars ... and nicknames.

Snooki and Jwoww Pilot The Empire Grows
Snooki and Jwoww from "Jersey Shore" fame are shooting a pilot this weekend for a "Jersey Shore" spin-off show ... TMZ has learned.
Sources connected with the production tell us ... the pilot will be shot in Long Island over the weekend. There's no special hook -- it's just Jwoww and Snooki being themselves.
What's really interesting .... MTV wants a pilot. Considering "Jersey Shore" beat "Grey's Anatomy" in the ratings -- plus the fact you kinda know who these chicks are -- a pilot would seem unnecessary.
A word of caution -- Dina Lohan lives near the shoot, so hide the cameras!

The Sitch's Expensive Ride Gets an Expensive Ride
Dear The Situation -- in case you were wondering where you parked your car ... we found it ... heading northbound on the New Jersey Turnpike about 30 minutes ago.
Thankfully, we're told The Sitch's badass black Bentley wasn't towed -- it's just getting a quick tune-up in Manhattan. Keep on trucking.
Thanks to our pals at GOOM Radio for the pic.

Jwoww BLOCKS Nude Photo Release
Several naked photos of Jwoww will remain under lock and key -- at least temporarily -- after a judge ruled that her ex-boyfriend has no legal right to distribute the images ... TMZ has learned.
A NY judge made the decision after Jwoww argued the nude pics were taken by her ex-BF Thomas Lippolis without her permission "while she was under the effects of pre-surgical and post-surgical anesthesia" back in February 2010.
Lippolis argued that Jwoww was "always a willing participant and always gave consent." He also claimed that releasing the photos wouldn't harm Jwoww's reputation because she had previously "expressed her desires to pose in Playboy."
But for now, the judge sided with Jwoww -- which means the pics must stay off the market ... for the time being.
The case is scheduled for arbitration -- where a final decision on the pics will be made.

Snooki's Drunken Arrest -- 'I'm a F-ing Good Person!'
Snooki dropped the F-bomb all over a couple of Seaside Heights police officers on the day she was arrested last year ... she was also REALLY wasted.
"Jersey Shore" finally aired the disastrous footage last night -- when Snooki was arrested for disorderly conduct on July 30, 2010 after Snooks drunkenly rolled around on the beach.
During the arrest, Snooki tells cops "Get the f**k off" ... and "I'm a f**king good person."

Snooki Sorry, I'm Not Dead
Snooki's Facebook page is flooded with messages from people who think she just died from a massive drug overdose ... problem is, it just ain't true.
Some people with a morbid sense of humor flooded the Internet this weekend with false reports that the "Jersey Shore" star kicked the bucket. But according to a rep -- who spoke to Snooki this morning -- she's alive and probably drinking somewhere right now.
Snook's FB page is now swamped with condolence messages ... mixed in with a few notes from people who can spot a fake story when they see one.
The poof lives on.

Angelina's Girl-on-Girl Smackdown -- The Footage!!!
Angelina Pivarnick's foulmouthed cell phone-flying brawl that went down at the Trump Taj Mahal in Atlantic City last month was all caught on tape -- and you seriously have to watch it ... it's INSANE.
Angelina and the other girl -- named Melissa Mayne -- exchange some unbelievably nasty insults during the clip ... and on top of the violent threats, Angie even calls Mayne the dreaded C-word ... right after grabbing the girl's cell phone and throwing it across the room.
As we first reported, Mayne is currently suing the "Jersey Shore" star over the "violent attack" -- claiming Angelina also punched her in the face and threw a glass at her.
Angelina -- who was on her way to a celebrity boxing match when the fight broke out -- has told us she feels she was the victim of a "set up" that night ... and was "provoked, taunted, and harassed into a fight."

Pauly D, Ronnie, Vinny -- Never Before Seen Face-Off
TMZ has obtained the only video known to exist where you can see Miley Cyrus' voice coming from the mouths of Pauly D, Vinny, and Ronnie from "Jersey Shore" ... without the use of hallucinogenics.
The video was shot last July at a booth on the boardwalk at Seaside Heights. The guys stood in front of a green screen and bopped along to Miley's "Party in the U.S.A." and the Taio Cruz song "Dynamite."

Oy Vey! 'Jersey Shore' Duo Rips Joy Behar
Snooki Polizziwitz and Jwoww Farleyberg -- the Jewish alter egos of the "Jersey Shore" ladies -- have had enough of Joy Behar's constant insults, so they're mercilessly mocking the co-host of "The View."
Joy has poked fun on both of her shows about the fact Snooki has "written" a book. So in some form of revenge, Snooki and Jwoww conjured up a pair of Jewish accents and made fun of Joy -- calling her an "Italian wannabe" who hates the "Jersey Shore" kids because kids like them ruined her childhood ... back during the Great Depression.

'Jersey' Angelina Wrestling with Unemployment
Now that Angelina Pivarnick's days of fighting on "Jersey Shore" are over -- TMZ has learned she's already found another place to let out her aggression ... the wrestling ring.
Sources close to Angelina tell us she's been locked in discussions with TNA Wrestling officials for the past week -- trying to hammer out a deal to get her in the squared circle ASAP.
But unlike Jwoww's "don't-blink-or-you'll-miss-it" style fight back in October -- Angelina wants to brawl in a legitimate, regulation match.
We're told the two sides have yet to make it official -- but TNA honchos are already into the idea of pitting Angelina against the resident Snooki-wannabe -- "Cookie" -- in a TNA Pay-Per-View match.

'Jersey Shore' Cast Gym, Tan ... Brand New Car!
The only thing remotely new (besides that chick Deena) on last night's third season premiere of the "Jersey Shore" ... every cast member showed up to the beach house in an expensive new ride.
While Jwoww, Snooki and Ronnie (who drove up with a very sour Sammi) fist pumped their fame into new BMWs, Vinny cruised up in a sleek Mercedes, Pauly D gelled well with his Cadillac and The Situation flashed his jacked up Range Rover.
Drunken partying, bar fights and fake tans definitely have their perks.

Jersey Shore's Ronnie -- My KO Victim Wanted a Fight
Ronnie from "Jersey Shore" is convinced the guy he coldcocked last summer on Season One was just a fame whore who picked a fight to get on TV ... and now, the "Jersey" star says he can prove it.
Ronnie's manager Matt Cohen tells TMZ ... Stephen Izzo had encountered "Jersey" producers three weeks before the fight and signed a release form to appear on the show -- a form obtained by TMZ.
Cohen claims Izzo realized he needed conflict to score screen time -- so he went home and concocted a plan to provoke Ronnie into a fight on camera ... and we all know how that went.
Ronnie's manager believes the release form proves Izzo "obviously wanted to be on the show" -- and was willing to do whatever it took to make that happen.
Izzo's currently suing Ronnie and MTV over the punch -- claiming, among other things, invasion of privacy and unauthorized use of his image.
Ronnie was indicted by a grand jury in New Jersey last month over the scuffle -- charged with one count of third-degree assault ... and he could face up to five years in prison if convicted.
We contacted Izzo -- but he refused to comment.
