As Vinny Guadagnino deals with the fallout from his recent foray into the world of rap, the AP reports that his fellow 'Jersey Shore' guido, Pauly D (yes, the one with that hair) has hooked up with rapper 50 Cent.

The reality star and DJ said months ago that the pair were working together, and now he has officially signed to 50 Cent's dance and pop music label, G-Note.

Calling Pauly D smart and creative, 50 Cent said he's a "great addition to G-Note and [the] G-Unit family."

Lately, an entire cottage industry has sprung up to teach men how to be as dudely as possible. Somewhere along the line, modern masculinity was declared to be in shambles, and thus were born dozens of guidebooks and classes teaching the basic principles of coolness.

By now, many men have chosen to tune out the guidance being offered by everyone from self-proclaimed "pick-up artists" to Axe Body Spray, but it's worth tossing your skepticism aside to welcome a new show called 'Guy Code' (premieres Tues., Nov. 15 at 11PM ET on MTV2). This genuinely funny show offers dude-vice on topics like manscaping, sexting, talking to the cops and partying at the club ... you know, the fundamental issues of our time. Using animated scenes and commentary from comedians, shot-girls and Vinnie from 'Jersey Shore,' 'Guy Code' avoids preaching and goes for laughs rather than promising to change your life.

Vinny Guadagnino was a continent away from 'Jersey Shore,' when he guest-starred as a representative of all the sin that Sin City has to offer on '90210' (Tue., 8PM ET on The CW). While he manages to lure Liam into a very intense game of poker. In fact, Liam quickly loses nearly all of his money.

But then he takes a big gamble by going all in on one hand. Vinny backs down and we never even get to see if Liam was bluffing or not, but the bottom line was that he won back the money he'd lost and was smart enough to walk away before he was down again.

Vinny Guadagnino makes the fist pump look easy on 'Jersey Shore,' perhaps deceptively so. Guadagnino stopped by 'Good Day New York' (weekdays, 9AM ET on Fox) to talk about how he became a 'Jersey Shore' star, and to teach anchors Rosanna Scotto and Greg Kelly his signature dance move.

Guadagnino, who's actually a Staten Island native, decided to pass up law school to enjoy the show's success. "I want the degree, yes," he said, "but right now, I think I'm doing well." Scotto asked if Guadagnino was aware of his fifteen minutes of fame fading. "My fifteen minutes started an hour ago," he said. "This was a phenomenon and it was more than I think fifteen minutes. It took off to five seasons."

Is fame proving too much for the 'Jersey Shore' guidos and guidettes?

Snooki's been dancing with potted plants. Vinny Guadagnino quit the show. Now comes news that Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino has also packed his bags and gone.

A source told 'Us Weekly' that "Mike walked off the show. He's so over the whole thing. I don't think he's coming back. Everyone in the house is so unhappy."

The macaroni rascals returned to their native soil after a tumultuous few weeks filming Season 4 of the hit MTV reality show in Italy.
