Remember way back in August, when Abercrombie & Fitch launched a convoluted publicity stunt to pay Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino not to wear their clothes? Well, turns out Sitch didn't think the little joke was too funny, and to prove it, he's suing the mall standby for $4 million.

Abercrombie & Fitch, the store that once made a padded bra for seven-year-olds, apparently has some standards for who they think should be representing the brand. And The Situation is just not cutting it, even if Abercrombie & Sitch seems like the perfect fit.

Last week, we were introduced to Frank "The Confrontation" Sorrentino, Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino's angry, scary dad who's been busy posting angry rants about his son across the internet in advance of his tell-all book.

The Situation's Dad Is A Scary, Angry Man
We've learned a lot about Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino in the past few years: he used to be a stripper, is the proud creator of a very popular "Grenade dodger" app, and he makes an obscene amount of money.

The mayor of Florence has already given the cast a list of strict rules, and now the Istituto Lorenzo de' Medici has warned its students that they should avoid the cast at all costs when they come to film at the school. According to TMZ, a letter to those residing in a student housing building that the cast will use, reads:
Donald Trump Gets Roasted at Hammerstein Ballroom
Future President of the United States and walking Hair Club for Men advertisement Donald Trump was roasted last night at the Hammerstein Ballroom as part of Comedy Central's Roast series. Like its stuffier Friars Club cousin, these events gather top-shelf comedic talent to tastelessly and mercilessly skewer an easy target. Careful guys, he's packing!
Would You Watch The Situation: The Movie?
It seems that Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino has outgrown his tanned cohorts and free trips to Italy. According to E!, he doesn't even want to be a TV star anymore. "Maybe another year or so of reality, and then I'm gonna graduate to movies," he told them. "It's like Michael Jordan. There's only so long you can keep winning them rings." Does this mean The Situation is going to be in a Space Jam remake?!
No "Situation" At The Plaza
In October there was a rumor going around that Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino (of Jersey Shore fame) would be pairing up with The Plaza and possibly becoming a partner and the face of a luxury gym there. But apparently the posh hotel, and national landmark, had enough bad press from the Charlie Sheen incident, and now the NY Post reports that the reality fameball won't be G, T, or L'ing there anytime soon. In fact, he "has been barred from getting involved"!
Five-Year-Olds All About The Situation
MTV, take note: the city's kindergartners are obsessed with the Jersey Shore. Yesterday, Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino was at the Borders book store in Midtown, signing copies of what will surely be a Pulitzer contender, "Here’s the Situation: A Guide To Creeping on Chicks, Avoiding Grenades, and Getting In Your GTL on the Jersey Shore." And among those in line were twin 5-year-olds Amanda and Taylor, whose mother brought them all the way from Middle Village to see the "star." “When the girls woke up for school this morning, they asked if today was the day they were going to see The Situation,” their mother, Jennifer Rup, told the Post. “Taylor thinks he’s sexy, and Amanda likes his stomach.” Five-year-olds know what "sexy" is?

Girl Gives Dirt On Jersey Shore Castmate

There's A Situation At The Plaza
The Plaza hotel, in all its French Renaissance château-style glory, opened in 1907, and since then has become a National Historic Landmark.

The Situation Has Popular App, Awful T-Shirt
Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino of MTV's Jersey Shore has been cashing in on his 15 minutes with a new iPhone app that's among Apple's top 10 highest grossing apps ever. The $4.99 app lets users find GTL locations in their area, play a "Grenade Doger" video game, and a link to email him with questions about any situation you may be encountering. Sadly, it won't tell you how to get the rock hard abs needed to rock the new Situation-inspired tank top. For that you'll need to buy his workout video.
Trick or Treat Jersey Shore Style
Okay, if you had to be a cast member of Jersey Shore for Halloween, which one would it be? Ricky's is offering up a few choices: Snooki, Pauly D, and Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino. As you can tell by looking at these things, there are a few problems! Namely: they are clearly not tan enough, Snooki looks like Teresa Guidice from The Real Housewives of New Jersey, and for some reason The Situation comes in two sizes. Maybe the non-six-pack version is The High School Situation (turtleneck not included)?
The Situation's Financial Situation
Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino stands to earn about $5MM this year, or as we like to think of it: $833K per pack of his six-pack abs. And yes, it's unfair.
A source familiar with the 29-year-old Jersey Shore star's finances told The Hollywood Reporter about his earnings, and his manager told the site, "We are really excited about all the opportunities coming Mike's way..."
The Situation Thinks BP May Have Affected Beach Culture
Last night Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino took a break from the GTL routine and dropped a little BP knowledge for Vulture. That is, after parroting back their question about the oil spill didn't make it go away, he was forced express his deep thoughts on the crisis in the Gulf. This all went down at Marquee, natch.
Video: America's Birthday Is Also The Situation's Birthday
People, today is Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino's 28th birthday. The Star-Ledger caught up with the six-pack specialist at a recent GNC event in NYC and found out that when Jersey Shore is not filming, he binges (Doritos! Oreos!) and that he expects to be in movies by the time he's 30. And he says this about Jersey Shore's upcoming second season, "It's almost like a movie. There's so much drama and action and hookups and break-ups and make-ups."
Brooklyn Has A "Situation"
Even the Brooklyn Cyclones aren't immune to the Jersey Shore cast. The team announced that on July 21 they'll be hosting "Jersey? Sure!" Night, which will include a giveaway of mesh jerseys featuring the team’s mascot, Sandy the Seagull, fist-pumping! And that's not even the best part...
Video: Jersey Shore Cast Shows True Colors
Last night Snooki Twittered "LMAO" with a link... so obviously something hilarious was awaiting us just a click away. And sure enough... it was this Funny or Die skit that she, The Situation and Pauly D recently did. While it may be hilarious to see them try to step outside of their fist-pumping selves for a moment... in all seriousness, this Jersey Shore craze is going to end before they, like, actually get famous, right?
