Tonight, the third season of The Jersey Shore will return to MTV’s late night spot. The original cast of fan favorites are set to return to their favorite beach-side town, returning from the second season which was set in Miami Beach. According to a trailer released for the season premier we are in for one crazy summer at the shore
But a new face is set to join them – one that fellow castmates describe as a “gremlin lookalike” and a “dirty chihuahua”. Friend of Snooki, and equally travel sized, Deena Nicole Cortese has replaced the “Kim Kardashian of Staten Island” as the eighth housemate to join Pauly D, Snooki, the Situation, Sammi Sweetheart, Ronnie, Vinny, and JWOWW for their summer of shore shenanigans.
The new season, on MTV at 10 p.m. EST, will undoubtedly have its ups and downs. The first episode trailer shows Deena getting off on the wrong foot with Sammie and Ronnie when she calls Sammi a c*nt – after which an overblown fight ensues.
“This is, like, an open door for me,” says Deena, 23, “Right now I’m just fastening my seat belt and going for a ride … If people would learn to love me from the show, I could go on to bigger things.”
You may scoff at her ambition but Deena’s friend Snooki just released her first novel and has a new jewelery line out, DJ Pauly D signed on with MTV for his own spinoff, and The Situation reportedly made over $5million dollars last year from endorsements, personal appearances, a workout video, and his stint on “Dancing With the Stars.” With that in mind, it seems like Deena might be on her way to equal stardom and success.
