Yesterday Jersey Shore’s The Situation admitted that he was in rehab receiving help for a problem with prescription pills. Some reports have also cited his drinking as a problem, something that wouldn’t be too much of a surprise since we’ve all seem the footage.

Even so his drinking seemed to be on par with the rest of the crew, but there were other things going on that made The Situation’s behavior erratic even when everyone else was sober (or made his behavior seem more extreme even when everyone else was wasted, remember when he slammed his own head in the wall in Italy?)

Jersey Shore calls Florence’s bluff, exposes big time party town?

Florence, Italy may well be the cultural capital of Europe. With art and architectural treasure comparable to Rome or Paris and a walkable central district smaller than some American mega-malls, Florence packs a serious cultural wallop. Add some of the best food and wine in the world and an ethereally beautiful countryside, and you have an unstoppable combination of attractions for practically anyone willing to apply for a passport and board a plane.

But, Florence is also a mecca for good-timing young folks from around the globe – a place where they can tell their parents about soaking in the likes of Brunelleschi, Michelangelo and da Vinci while actually spending all day and night soaking in the spirits of Brunello (wine) and house music at the disco. It’s a side of Florence vital to their economy, but not something the want to publicize – especially on, say, one of the most popular reality series in the world! Keep reading for our in-depth report from Ruby Turpin, our resident academic currently vacationing in Florence!

The surreal confluence of Jersey Shore meets Italy continues as the cast gets acclimated to their new Tuscan digs – or perhaps it would be more accurate to say “as their new Tuscan digs get acclimated to them.”

One thing America’s favorite Guidos and Guidettes will not allow is for a trip to Florence, Italy to interfere with their acronympho mantra, GTL! The boys and gals were photographed earlier on their way to a tanning salon – and from the looks of them and their attire it seems the G and the L are safe as well! (For those of you in Florence or other remote regions of the world not yet familiar with the Guidocabulary, GTL stands for Gym, Tan, Laundry.)
