The second season of of the annoyingly ubiquitous MTV hit Jersey Shore – which the network had considered relocating to a hipper beach town, like Miami — is staying in the Dirty Jerz after all. Snooki, the Situation, JWoww, and the rest of the gang will head down south to Miami for a few fun-filled days before decamping back to their Seaside Heights, NJ, beach house. All new episodes begin airing July 29 on MTV.
Which means another season’s worth of har-de-har-har “I can’t believe you’re from there” jokes for this …

Tweet WHO WILL BE THE NEXT FOOD NETWORK STAR?
Happy to report that season five of the Next Food Network Star kicks off June 7th.
With four contestants from LaLaland, it would seem California cuisine is in this season.
Sadly, there isn’t much diversity in this bunch — the majority are white, though we’ve got a Korean-American celeb caterer and an African-American personal chef whose specialty is Caribbean cuisine.
Oddly, it seems the network is hoping to cash in on the popularity of last season’s quirky-cute runner-up Adam Gertler — two of the All-American …

With a new memoir on parenting, the TV scion turned reality star dishes on her feud with her mother, Candy, her kids’ love of paparazzi, and her return to 90210.
Tori Spelling has survived a lot longer than most people thought she would. After a decade on her father’s young-adult juggernaut, Beverly Hills, 90210, she, like the rest of the teen-idol cast, spent a decade in relative oblivion.
