PHOTOS Jersey Shore’s Mike Sorrentino ‘The Situation’ Myspace and high school yearbook pictures

Clearly the American television viewing audience was completely unprepared for the rawness of MTV’s Jersey Shore. Guido fever has swept through the media and the nation and though everything from rationality and moral decency have been tried as a vaccine, nothing seems to be working.

Spearheading the Giuseppidemic is self-proclaimed Guidette Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi, whose wild antics and audacious personality led to the infamous “Snooki punch” cleverly used by MTV in commercials for the show, and then censored from the actual episode before airing.

Running a close second to Snooki is the Guidoest of the Guidos, the abtastic Italian Stallion known simply as “The Situation.” I’ve dug up some older photos of Mike, including a photo from his high school yearbook! (Yes, he always had those abs.)

PHOTOS Brittany Murphy Picture Gallery

Actress Brittany Murphy passed away earlier today at the early age of 32. There are lots of wonderful things that can be said about Murphy’s acting career, but in addition to her charismatic on-screen talents she was also one of the most photogenic celebrities on the planet. Not only was she a very beautiful woman, but she had that Drew Barrymorish way of always being able to look like she was having a great time, and for someone that flips through hundreds of these photos a day, it was always refreshing when Brittany’s smile popped up.

I gathered some pictures of her from over the last few years and I think you will see right away exactly what I am talking about.

SNL VIDEO Watch Snookie on Saturday Night Live Weekend Update

Overnight Jersey Shore sensation Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi is taking over television! She’s like an accomplishmentless Sarah Palin who doesn’t dodge questions! And just like Sarah Palin, there is way more demand for Snooki than there is supply so shows are having to clone the hot commodity.

Here’s the hilarious video from last night’s episode of Saturday Night Live’s Weekend Update:

VIDEO Watch both 2010 Valentine’s Day trailers starring Taylor Lautner, Taylor Swift, Julia Roberts and every other actor in Hollywood!

There was a time when I thought this movie was an urban myth. Every day I would see a new group of photos from the set of some movie called Valentine’s Day but they always had completely different actors – and not Kathy Griffin “actors” but Bradley Cooper, Anne Hathaway and Kathy Bates actors! Being too lazy to actually do any research, I came to the conclusion that there must be three movies currently under production with the same title.

NOPE! It’s just one movie with a HUGE ensemble cast! Here are both of the trailers to come out so far, the second of which was just released today!

Details are sketchy at this point, but according to TMZ Lil’ Wayne’s entourage were part of a random search by Border Patrol agents that resulted in pot being found on two of the vehicles. It seems pot was not found on any of the persons, and contrary to the misleading headline of this post, no arrests have been made.
