Jersey Shore

Son of Snooki was officially unleashed on Planet Earth today ... and TMZ has the very first pics of lil' Lorenzo LaValle and his mommy being carted out of the a New Jersey hospital.

You can't see much of Lorenzo's face ... only the top of his head ... which appears prime for gobs of gel and grease.

Mama Snooks was clutching her little boy with both arms ... holding him tighter than a cup of Ron-Ron Juice at Karma nightclub.

Snooki gave birth on Sunday ... but it appears she's already back to normal ... rocking a pair of platform wedges as she was wheeled back into reality ... TV ... as an MTV camera crew documented the entire thing.

We now live in a world where Snooki is someone's mother.

The "Jersey Shore" store popped out a baby boy at around 3:00 AM Sunday at Saint Barnabas Medical Center in Livingston, NJ.

A rep for Snooki released a statement, saying, "The world just got another Guido!!! Lorenzo Dominic LaValle has entered the world weighing 6lbs, 5oz. Nicole, Jionni & Enzo are doing great!"

6:00 AM PT -- Snooki gave birth early this morning to a baby boy.

Get ready for gym, tan, LABOR!!!!!

Sources close to Snooki tell TMZ the reality star has gone into labor. We're told she is at a hospital in New Jersey now and is expected to deliver her little meatball to the world some time in the near future.

The "Jersey Shore" star announced her pregnancy back in March and also announced that she is engaged to the baby daddy, Jionni LaVelle.

Good news if you're one of Snooki and Jwoww's unlucky new neighbors -- you can now pass the time while the girls shoot their annoying reality show ... by playing BRAIN TEASERS ... courtesy of MTV.

Several people living next to Snooki and Jwoww's new house in Manchester, NJ tell TMZ, reps from 495 productions and MTV made house calls around the neighborhood this week ... dropping off goodie bags as a thank-you for being so patient and understanding during production.

But here's the thing -- the goodie bags kinda suck.

The bags include Starbucks coffee, a mug, candy, a puzzle book (brain teasers), and a card.

Admittedly, the card is handwritten and nice -- but still ... there are only 4 other houses on Snooki and Jwoww's block.

Jersey refugees Snooki and Jwoww finally have a new home for their reality show -- smack dab in a quiet suburb which neighbors fear is about to become a loud, boozy nightmare ... TMZ has learned.

If you didn't know ... 495 Productions -- the company that produces "Snooki & JWoww" -- had trouble finding a location to film Season Two ... until the small town of Manchester stepped up to the plate.

TMZ spoke to some of S&J's new neighbors who say they had no warning the 3 ring circus was rolling in -- and when they called the town to complain ... they were told the mayor already signed off, so too bad.

They were also told 495 would go door-to-door to address the situation, but several neighbors tell us that hasn't happened ... even though they've already seen crew members setting up equipment.

Calls to 495 have not been returned.

(NOT SO) FUN FACT: Manchester Township is also where the Hindenburg disaster went down in 1937.

Now that "Jersey Shore" star Pauly D's an $11 million man ... he's got some investment advice for every Joe Schmoe looking to make fast cash -- BUY GOLD FOOL ... it's only going up up up.

Pauly was out in NYC Thursday when we asked about his recent placement on the Forbes list for highest-paid DJs -- which said Pauly raked in $11 million in the last year -- and he said, "Crazy, right?"

Pretty funny ... considering gold is a terrible investment (if you ask us) ... but hey, it's your money.

The Situation and his former manager struck a deal outside the courtroom and mutually decided to dismiss a $1,000,000 lawsuit, TMZ has learned.

As TMZ first reported, The Sitch was sued in 2011 by his ex-management company, Gotham NYC Entertainment, after they claimed they were wrongfully fired by the "Jersey Shore" star. The company alleged they took Sitch from "relative obscurity to become an international celebrity" and were seeking a million dollars in damages.

Sitch wasn't having any of it and filed his own countersuit ... claiming Gotham NYC did squat for him as his manager, failed to properly advise his career, and never returned his phone calls in a timely manner.

Now that's all behind them ... according to court docs, the two parties came to an agreement last month and dismissed both suits. They even agreed to pay their own legal fees.

You probably think Pauly D is just a stupid guy on a stupid reality show with a stupid haircut ... but over the last 12 months, he's made $11 million. Who's the stupid one now?

Pauly ranked 7th on a list of the highest-paid DJs put out by Forbes magazine. He's just $500k behind his adversary DeadMau5. The top guy on the list, Tiësto, made a whopping $22 million.

Pauly also has his own clothing line, a spin-off reality show, his own tanning lotion, his own line of cocktails, and a set of headphones with 50 Cent.

"Jersey Shore" star The Unit just caught a hell of a break in his drug case -- TMZ has learned, he struck a sweet deal with prosecutors to keep his ass out of jail.

Mr. Unit -- real name John Manfre -- was arrested last summer outside the "Jersey Shore" house for felony drug possession, when cops say they found Special K on his person ... the street name for Ketamine ... a drug often used as a horse tranquilizer.

But today, Manfre got off with a slap on the wrist -- agreeing to plead guilty to a "disorderly persons offense" if prosecutors dropped the drug charge, which they did.

Manfre was ordered to pay $125 in fine ... that's it.

The Situation was supposed to be the face of some anti-fat cream, but instead he ended up in rehab and never did a thing ... so says the company who hired him ... and now they want their $$$ back, this according to a new lawsuit.

A company in FL called Performance Brands claims they signed a deal with the "Jersey Shore" star back in September 2011 to endorse their fat metabolizing cream ... a job Sitch is perfect for thanks to his six-pack.

According to legal docs, PB claims they paid Sitch and his people a $75,000 advance. His job was to provide promotional material, give shout-outs on social media and make personal appearances ... which PB claims NEVER happened.

Not only that, PB says right after they sent the $$$ ... Sitch checked into rehab for a prescription drug addiction ... which they claim his PR team lied to them about, before later copping to the truth.

They say his failure to disclose his drug addiction is a breach of contract and they want all their money back.

Sitch fired back at the company with his own counter-suit -- claiming PB failed to give him a marketing plan on-time, advertise in national magazines, or give him free product. PB denies all these claims.

Fun Fact -- Snooki has been invited to attend the wedding of former U.S. Olympic wrestling champ Kurt Angle, which will take place in Pittsburgh this weekend.

Not So Fun Fact -- Snooki respectfully declined due to prior obligations.

Fun Fact -- She sent a gift anyway ... it was pot.

Not So Fun Fact -- Not pot as in weed, pot as in coffee pot.

Fun Fact -- Snooki knows Kurt through her baby daddy Jionni ... who wanted to train with Angle earlier this year.

Not So Fun Fact --They never actually trained together.

It was a totally different Situation in Las Vegas last night ... where the "Jersey Shore" star celebrated his birthday without any of trademarks making an appearance.

Sitch turned 30 back on July 4 and finally got around to celebrating in Sin City at Señor Frogs, located inside the Treasure Island hotel. The night was very low key -- not only did Sitch not gel up his air or flaunt his abs ... but our spies say he didn't touch a drop of alcohol.

Change is good.

Snooki did NOT secretly get married to her baby daddy Jionni LaValle ... and she did NOT secretly take the guy's name either -- despite what her ultrasound says -- sources tell TMZ.

In case you missed Thursday night's episode of "Snooki & Jwoww" -- the Snookster unveiled her highly-anticipated ultrasound ... and Snooki's name is listed as "Nicole LaValle."

But Snooki sources tell TMZ, the ultrasound is WRONG -- because Snooki's real name is still legally "Nicole Polizzi." The doctor's office simply entered the wrong name by accident.

And for all you conspiracy theorists -- the source adds, "Snooki is 100% not married ... yet."

"Jersey Shore" star Deena Cortese won't face criminal charges after her disorderly conduct arrest last month -- but she WAS slapped with a hilarious fine ... for "failing to use the sidewalk."

TMZ broke the story ... Deena was busted last month in Seaside Heights for dancing like an idiot in the streets. Deena's PARENTS bailed her out of jail later that day.

Lucky for Deena, the disorderly conduct charge was dropped today in court -- but the "Jersey" girl didn't get off scot-free ... prosecutors charged her with what's called "title 39" instead ... or "failing to keep your crazy ass off the street."

With her unborn baby due in a couple of months, "Jersey Shore" former party girl Snooki used a stroller to transport a case of Coors Light in Seaside Heights on Monday.

Just because she's carrying an unborn baby inside her and not downing tequila shots doesn't mean anything has changed for Snooki ... as the pint-sized mother-to-be once again stumbled to the ground in Seaside Heights on Thursday.

Rockin' a pair of maternity platform sandals, the unmarried "Jersey Shore" star lost her footing and took a sober tumble on to the sidewalk yesterday. Luckily, she was uninjured, quickly got up and went on her non-alcoholic merry way.
