Snooki and 'Jersey Shore' Cast to Shoot New Season in Italy

By Simone Hilliard

What will Italians think of Snooki and her crew's fist-pumping G.T.L., D.T.F. and T-shirt time ways? There's only one to find out — by tuning into the fourth season of Jersey Shore. The higher-ups here at MTV announced that Jersey Shore will begin shooting the next season in Italy!

"While the stateside Jersey Shore locales have become iconic for our audience, it’s really the constantly evolving dynamic amongst the cast that keeps them coming back each season, and Europe is a fresh spin on a show that continues to reach new heights for us," said Chris Linn, executive vice president of programming and head of production for MTV. "The cast is headed to the birthplace of the culture they love and live by. We can’t wait to see what erupts as a result."

"Culture they love and live by?" Does that include the grenade horn and smush room? The shore mates must be taking their talents to Southern Rome because the North seems too cultured for our MVP-approved party-goers.

But the cast won't be alone. Luckily our favorite guidos and guidettes will get a little guidance from Vinny's family, who will undoubtedly provide a Sunday dinner or two, and hopefully help our Seaside pals find a little class.

We can't wait to see the drama unfold when these Italian-Americans go back to where it all began!
