It's time for a little pre-holiday "Ladies of the Jersey Shore" roundup, so you'll have something to talk about with your 14-year-old cousin this weekend. First up, Snooki: she's being sued for $7 million by a licensing company that claims she didn't hold up her end of an agreement to pimp out everything from school supplies to lingerie. The suit is technically a counterclaim to the lawsuit Snooki filed in October, in which she claimed the licensing company didn't fulfill their obligation to "secure enough money and develop sufficient branding partnerships." Got that? Good. Just tell your cousin it's important to always follow through if you agree to sell what's left of your spray-tanned soul. more ›

God bless Beavis & Butt-head, the "best TV critics ever," who returned to MTV last night for the first time in 14 years. The mouth-breathing duo sniggered their way through all sorts of modern masterpieces horrors, including 16 and Pregnant and the Twilight movies with their trademark mixture of stupid-smart awe, but perhaps the best ribbing was reserved for a show so one-dimensional it makes Beavis and Butt-head look like fully-fleshed MENSA members: The Jersey Shore. more ›

While we never expected that our efforts to showcase the awesomeness of Staten Island would seep through the stubborn skulls of New Yorkers overnight, it appears that we underestimated the city's prejudice. According to yet another super scientific dating website survey, only 8 percent of 1,000 Match.com users from Manhattan, the Bronx and Queens are willing to cross the water to Staten Island for a date. But a story in the Staten Island Advance may hold the key to understanding why the borough is given so little respect: the people who live there don't like it either. more ›

After the extensive damage Irene levied on New Jersey, 850,000 customers were left without power and 15,000 residents were in shelters. Now, with only 40,000 customers without power and 450 people in shelters, Governor Chris Christie rescinded last week's directive to "Get the hell off the beach" with an appropriate rejoinder at a press conference yesterday: "Get the hell back on the beach!" Damn! Hell! Bastard! Casual swearing doesn't have to mean casual governing. more ›

When Hurricane Irene was baring down on the the tri-state area, NJ Gov. Chris Christie sternly chided his constituents to "get the hell off the beach." Now that he's dealt with the flooding, power outages, and road collapses, Christie is turning his attention to the melanoma-deprived skin tones of residents, urging them to head back to the Jersey Shore quick: “Be an opportunist. You’ll probably get a good price.” more ›

After telling residents and visitors of the Jersey shore yesterday to "get the hell off the beach" because they've already "maximized [their] tan," New Jersey Governor Chris Christie took to the podium earlier today to detail efforts to evacuate seniors and those who remain in the path of Hurricane Irene but refuse to leave. However, the Governor may be unintentionally on to something with his zen-like solution to the state's PR problem: "The best way to preserve human life on the Jersey shore, is for there to be no human beings on the Jersey shore, given what's to come." We couldn't have said it better ourselves. more ›

Fringe Fest, the annual opportunity for ridiculous ideas to find an audience, is in full swing this month, and one of the more...creative productions is the Jersey Shoresical: A Frickin' Rock Opera. As they put it: "It's a musical parody, bitch!" more ›

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. more ›

You may be fist-pumping in excitement over the upcoming return of Jersey Shore, but will you be saying da or nyet to Russian Dolls? Russian Dolls is Lifetime's new reality show about Russian women (and men) living in Brooklyn. Sheepshead Bites got a hold of the trailer, and it does seem to live up to the producer's promise, "There will be plenty of vodka, techno music and guys wearing Adidas pants, leather jackets and gold chains, and driving souped-up cars. There will also be a lot of hot, decked-out Russian girls." Added bonus: Cocktail weiners in puff pastry! more ›

Listen up Chris Christie: Jersey Shore isn't ruining New Jersey's rep, and in fact, it may be helping it. According to a study just released by Fairleigh Dickinson University, there is "no statistical difference between those who have seen the show and those who haven’t." More shockingly, the poll showed that 41% of Americans have a favorable view of New Jersey, while 18% have an unfavorable view. The remaining are simply unsure of their feelings on the Garden State. Here are some more numbers!: more ›
