'Jersey Shore' News Roundup: Judge Labels Snooki a "Lohan Wannabe", MTV Orders Two New Specials, and More ...
A judge on Wednesday compared 'Jersey Shore' star Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi to Lindsay Lohan, and not in a good way.
Sentencing her to two days' communitiy service and a $500 fine, Judge Damian Murray said: "Rude, profane, obnoxious and self-indulgent is not the way to live your life. It appears your recent celebrity has affected your judgment. ... You seem to be acting like a Lindsay Lohan wannabe."
As reported by the Associated Press, Snooki's day in court came after she plead guilty to disorderly conduct in August. She was arrested in Seaside Heights, New Jersey while filming for the popular MTV series, and police said she was bothering patrons on the beach.
Snooki's lawyer admitted the reality star had been drinking, telling the judge that she "was under the influence of some alcohol, and stumbled and tripped into people on the beach. She used loud language on the beach and interfered with the public's right to quiet enjoyment of the beach."
After sentencing Snooki seemed contrite: "I would definitely like to apologize to the Seaside cops. ... This is not like me. I've never been in this situation before. I'd definitely like to apologize to anybody I hurt."
And in other 'Jersey Shore' news, The Hollywood Reporter has said that MTV has ordered two new specials to be shown after the current series wraps up on Oct. 21. The first will be a cast reunion show, which will air Oct. 28. The second is a behind-the-scenes special, for which a premiere date has not been determined.
It's also been reported that several of the show's stars have ben trying to trademark their names or nicknames, but aren't having much luck doing so. Tvguide.com relates how Paul "DJ Pauly D" DelVecchio failed to trademark his DJ company because of the similarly named DJ Paulie. And apparently Snooki's also had trouble securing her nickname because of a 2003 children's book titled 'Adventures of Snooky: Under the Sea.'
However, Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino is faring a little better than the others. Although he couldn't trademark "The Situation," as it's already the name of a clothing store, he had better luck with the term "Situation Nation." He's also applied to trademark the terms "fresh to death," (meaning "dressed to the nines"), "grenade-free America" (in the show's slang, a "grenade" is an ugly girl a friend throws himself on) and "GTL": Gym, Tan, Laundry.
'Jersey Shore' airs Thurs., 9PM ET on MTV.
