Et tu, Situation? Just days after Vinny's departure from the Jersey Shore, Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino has allegedly left the Seaside Heights house after he "got into a quarrel during filming... ripped off his microphone, and stormed off the set."

Did The Situation Peace Out Of The Jersey Shore House?
Italy Will Give Jersey Shore Cast The Boot On June 20th
There's about a two month window before we'll probably all, as Americans, be banned from Italy: Jersey Shore season four will premiere on August 4th, and then everyone will see the horrors that Italy was subjected to. The season will include the troupe's tour of the country, where they're still filming; the cast will be kicked out soon enough though, as they're already starting production back in New Jersey for season five, starting this month.
More Cast Announced For The Dark Knight Rises, Filming Starts In June
It's been three years since The Dark Knight hit the big screen just after one of it's stars, Heath Ledger, was found dead inside his real life Gotham apartment. Now the final piece to Christopher Nolan's trilogy (before the franchise is rebooted) is shaping up and right on track to be your IMAX fix in 2012.
Who Should Be Cast In Gatsby 3-D?
Word is that Ben Affleck may be a shoe-in for the role of Tom Buchanan in Baz Luhrmann's (possibly 3-D) remake of The Great Gatsby, which last saw the big screen in 2000, though the one you remember was probably the 1974 classic starring Robert Redford. Currently the IMDB page lists the following actors as being attached to the latest redux, though some are only rumored: Leonardo DiCaprio as Jay Gatsby, Carey Mulligan as Daisy Buchanan, Tobey Maguire as Nick Carraway, and Hayley Atwell as Jordan Baker. But who should really play the parts of F. Scott's famous characters? Click through for possible contenders, and below is the trailer for the 1974 version:
Jersey Gov Still Trying To Evict Jersey Shore Cast
New Jersey Governor Chris Christie is still complaining about the Jersey Shore cast giving his state a bad name—at a recent town hall meeting he declared, "we don't want them," and he allegedly plans to ask New York Governor Andrew Cuomo to reclaim the reality stars. But the show was never a New York thing, and cast members come from Rhode Island, New York and New Jersey.
Jersey Shore Cast On Strike!
Shouldn't the cast of Jersey Shore just be happy enough with the fact that they are making a living off fist pumping and posturing for cameras? Snooki & Co. will be back on the small screen with season 2 at the end of the month, but now TMZ reports that they've gone on strike just as they're set to film spots for season 3 (yes, season 3).
Jersey Shore Cast Seeks One More
Think you have what it takes to fist pump with Snooki & Co.? MTV's Jersey Shore—which is filming in both South Beach and Jersey for the second season—is looking for another cast member. Head over to Jersey Shore Casting to get all the details for the April 26th and 27th casting call (being held at The Crazy Donkey in Farmingdale... which makes total sense). The casting site leaves out the "G" word, but makes note of "killer shades, awesome hair, bandanas and bling," and says you must be 21 years old to stand a chance. (Oh and, um, don't appear to be older than 30.) Ready to creep and beat up the beat? Find your inner-guido—if Michael Cera can do it, so can you.
Video: Mad Drunk Men Sing "Bye Bye Birdie"
With the return of Mad Men not happening for at least four months (they're not even in production yet), we'll take any shred of the Sterling-Cooper troupe we can get... even if it comes in the form of a drunken, out-of-tune, cast and crew sing-a-long of "Bye Bye Birdie" (a song featured last season). Sadly, as NYMag points out, Christina Hendricks and Bryan Batt don't make an appearance... which is possibly made up for by Elisabeth Moss texting in her Peggy Olson wardrobe.
New Sex Shop Will Cast Your...
There's a newish sex toy shop in Williamsburg called Shag, and the Brooklyn Paper has the scoop. The proprietors, artists from the neighborhood, say it's not your typical sex shop storefront. There are vibrating necklaces, hand-made lingerie, and yadda yadda yadda "workers will happily make a silicone dildo that’s an exact replica of a customer’s penis." They say "it may sound like a gag gift" (hey that's not what they're used for!) "but when a husband has to leave town on business there’s no reason why a wife can’t still have a little pleasure." What is this the '50s... what about when women leave on a business trip? According to this gallery of photos from the store, all they can leave behind is a doorknob cast from a stranger's vagina.
Original Jersey Shore Cast Returns... Just Not To NJ
At 1:33 a.m., MTV announced via a press release that the original cast of Jersey Shore will be returning for a second season. Yay?
No word on how much money they're all getting, but as of a few days ago at least two cast members agreed to $10K per episode, with the rest holding out for more. It seems once they were reminded they could easily be replaced with new guidos and guidettes, however, the negotiation process gained speed.
Fame Cast Fills Up, Begins Production
The Fame remake will be hitting big screens in the Fall of 2009, and the cast has just been finalized. Reports are coming in that Megan Mullally, Kelsey Grammer, Charles S. Dutton, Bebe Neuwirth and Debbie Allen have all been enlisted "to fill out the administrative and teaching roles" at New York City High School of Performing Arts. MGM says "This picture is a celebration, a testament to people pursuing their dreams, so we set out to find talented actors who could both convincingly instruct onscreen and also inspire audiences." The student cast members are mostly unknowns, and can be checked out on IMDB. Incidentally, Debbie Allen played dance teach Lydia Grant in the 1980 film, and will be coming back as Principal Simms. Check out the original "Hot Lunch Jam" below.
NYC Comedian Goes From UCB to SNL
Saturday Night Live has a new cast member--Season 34's new addition is longtime UCB Theater performer Bobby Moynihan. (Many had expected the pick to be a female, due to Amy Poehler's departure.) The Huffington Post reports that Moynihan worked on "The Line," which has SNL cast members involved (watch episodes here), and with others from the SNL troupe at UCB. Also noted is that "one of Moynihan's best-known talents within the UCB community is his repertoire of black impressions- which, if they make it on air, may revive some old complaints about SNL." (Last season the show ended up using Fred Armisen, who is of Caucasian and Asian descent, to play Barack Obama.)
