When I first read that headline I panicked a little, thinking that MTV was foisting three new shows on the public featuring the Jersey Shore tools. They’re really just putting out two new shows, and we’ve had advance notice about them for some time but I’d pushed it out of my mind. J-Woww and Snooki are going to be sharing a house together, where they will inevitably fail to properly cook or clean and will spend their time getting drunk and hooking up with guys. Pauly D is some kind of spiky-haired DJ and he’ll be hanging out with his friends, getting drunk and hooking up with women. It’s just the Jersey Shore formula with some familiar faces and new players. If Sammi and Ronni could manage to stay together more than a hot second we’d probably be seeing a reality show about their relationship too.
MTV announced Thursday that Jersey Shore stars Snooki, JWoww and Pauly D will be featured on two spin-off shows next year.
Before the announcement, Snooki and JWoww told MTV News what viewers can expect on their show.The two will be living in a yet-announced location, said Snooki.
“It’s pretty much just the concept of me and Jenni being on our own without our roommates,” she explained.
JWoww said the concept was developed before the show was green-lit. “We legitimately just wanted to buy a house together,” she said. “She wanted to get out of her dad’s, and I wanted to move out of the home that everyone could see on TV, so they were like, ‘Let’s shoot it!’ ”
As for Pauly D, his show will track his journey of becoming a successful DJ in the music business.
“I used to be this DJ in Rhode Island, DJing two sets a week, hustling, promoting,” he told MTV News earlier this year, “and all of a sudden, I’m on this show, and now they’re sending private jets for me to DJ for these huge crowds, yet I’m still the same guy that was DJing for 200 people, just loving life.”
Chris Linn, MTV’s executive vice president of programming and head of production, told The Hollywood Reporter Thursday he doesn’t think the shows will dilute the popular franchise.

Well I guess it was inevitable. Snooki is so popular that she got paid $2,000 more than Toni Morrison to speak at Rutgers. She banked $32,000 for just 2 hours of question and answer sessions in which she judged a men’s ab contest and revealed such deep thoughts as “When you’re tan, you feel better about yourself.” She also demands that her man be tan and that his name “ends with a vowel.” I’m not making this up.
So Snooki, J-Woww and Pauly D are moving on to new shows, but we won’t be rid of The Situation or the rest of the cast anytime soon. Jersey Shore is of course continuing on for yet another season, and will air well into 2012.
Ah, yes, just what this world needs. The fact that MTV or whoever keeps turning out these shows makes me sick. I truly hate this crap, and the fact that the people on them are held up as something to aspire to. God help us all.
Disgusting!
This further proves the blind items about The Situation, or you know he’d have a show. I love Pauly, but where’s Vinny?? Oh, his dong got it’s own spinoff. Ha
Why is that taller one about to nurse the smaller one?
Why does that boy look like a cartoon character?
Sorry, but I think this is great news. The Situation is a creep show and @Jacq is totally right about the BIs. And Sammi and Ronnie have a disgusting, abusive relationship. Snooki, JWoww and Pauly are the actually interesting cast members, so now we’ll get them minus the douche patrol. Personally, I find the 18 versions of CSI and NCIS to be the harbinger of doom and decay of TV in the US, not these guys.
This post made me throw up in my mouth a little…What happened to you MTV?? WHAT happened to you??
Reality shows are a good way too measure the art of dumbing down an entire society.
I would be angry if I were a student at that college. The colleges here won’t quit raising tuition every six months, to the point where it is becoming difficult to continue on with my education and to know that Snooki gets 32,000 to answer asinine questions, especially since 32 k could pay for an entire BA at a lot of schools, it is just depressing.
So JIdiot wants to leave the house that “everyone can see on TV”, for another home that will be on TV, because of her new show.
Makes a lot of sense. NOT.
they are just nasty.
Stephy I think the question is what justifies the existence of MTV anymore to anyone that has an interest in music; hotpockets to amplify your post, why isn’t the org that invited her to rutgers, the students that attended this shitfest, the profs that would go apoplectic if this were glen beck,etc., also being criticized. Why are the students that partook of this dumbassfest being left off the hook. THis is why anyone that says college students need to be more politically aware should pause – poliitics is dumbed down enough, do we really want people that apparently believe snooki is culture to be involved in politics?
i cant even read the article, just have one question running through my head, WHY AMERICA? WHY?????????????????????????
What blind items about the situation? I haven’t heard those.
This story makes me glad I traded in cable for netflix
I’m surprised they didn’t include Vinnie in Paulie’s spin off.
And here I was, thinking that the Kardashians were the harbinger of the apocolypse.
I too am curious as to the ‘blind item’ someone mentioned.
I love how Snooki states, ” I wanted to move out of the home that everyone could see on TV, so they were like, ‘Let’s shoot it! ”
..So she legitimized leaving her home because too many people knew where she lived, to move into another house to shoot a reality show where everyone can see where she lives….Her logic never fails to amuse me.
Because they never use the people’s real residences for these shows – they have to be fitted out for the cameras.
What’s the blind item about the Bitchuation?
I have had reason to believe, through seeing interviews and such, that Jwoww is a relatively well-adjusted person of at least average intelligence. Moreover, I now have an outlet for my deeply shameful but burning-hot crush on her. That she has a show more focused on her shouldn’t be good news to me, but it is.
I’ll watch them. Not going to lie.
These are just partying 20-somethings acting like partying 20-somethings, and it’s no more offensive than the Real World, no matter how tacky we may find their hair/nails/orangeness.
It’s hardly the collapse of society. The freakshow is not a new concept. It’s a passtime as old as complaining that society is going downhill…
Also, Toni Morrison’s usual fee–she claims–is $60,000 and she halved it to speak at Rutgers. So that’s a bit of a relief.
