Over the objections of locals, the controversial cast of MTV’s latest hit reality series is said to be gearing up to bring their Cheetos tans and fist-bumping guido ‘tude to Miami, reports the Miami Herald.
Shooting on the second season of the series is said to begin next week, which accounts for the immediate need to move taping to a warmer climate. The new season is expected to begin airing in early summer.
Hotels and clubs in the area, including Mynt Lounge, have already started rejecting the advances of location scouts, wary of negative associations from accommodating the trashy cast
The first season of “Jersey Shore” was shot in a beach house in Seaside Heights, NJ. After its December premiere, the show came under fire from Italian-American groups objecting to the stereotypes fulfilled by the badly behaved eight cast members who called themselves “guidos” and “guidettes.”
In response, Seaside Heights made it clear that they “did not solicit, promote or participate in the filming of this show.”
The controversy surrounding the series drew 5 million viewers to the January season finale, making it one of the music network’s most-watched shows in the last five years.
Over the past 4 years “The Hills” revolutionized reality television and became a pop culture phenomenon. MTV will now redefine how the reality drama all ends in Season 6. The last 12 episodes EVER of “The Hills” will conclude like no other show before. How will it end? What will be revealed? Who will return? How will they say goodbye? The drama begins on Tuesday, April 27th as “The Hills: Final Season” premieres at 10pm ET/PT followed by “The City” at 10:30pm ET/PT on MTV.
“We are lucky and honored to have worked with this cast and tell their stories for this long, and we are grateful to the many dedicated fans who have stuck with us over the years. We owe it to those fans, the cast and the show to go out on a high note. And this season will deliver on that goal in terms of drama, story, real emotion and an organic culmination of this saga,” said Tony DiSanto, President of Programming, MTV.
Fans can relive Kristin’s highly anticipated return to television when The Hills: Season Five, Part Two comes to DVD on April 27th, the same day as the Season 6 premiere. From MTV Home Entertainment and Paramount Home Entertainment, this 2-disc DVD set has a suggested retail price of $26.99 and features every headline-making scene from all 10 dramatic episodes and is filled with deleted scenes, remixed versions of the after shows and much more.

When The Hills returns to MTV on April 27, it will kick off it’s sixth — and final — season.
After four years of catfights, backstabbing and Speidi, the reality show is calling it quits and Kristin Cavallari, Audrina Patridge, Lo Bosworth, Brody Jenner, Heidi Montag, Spencer Pratt and their pals will go their separate ways.
“We are lucky and honored to have worked with this cast and tell their stories for this long, and we are grateful to the many dedicated fans who have stuck with us over the years,” MTV’s President of Programming Tony DiSanto said in a statement.
The Hills has struggled since Lauren Conrad left the show last June, but the final season promises lots of drama.
The stars of MTV’s “A Double Shot at Love” were involved in a major car crash yesterday that left one girl in a medically induced coma.
We’re told Erica “Rikki” Mongeon and Victoria “Vikki” Mongeon were passengers in a VW Jetta traveling through Bakersfield, CA at around 12:20 AM Tuesday when their car collided with a semi-truck.
We’re told Vikki and the Jetta driver were not seriously injured — but Rikki was rushed to the intensive care unit at a local hospital.
According to girls’ manager, Rikki is now in a medically induced coma — but we’re told doctors are optimistic about Rikki’s recovery.
Debra Danielson — the mother of 18-year-old “Teen Mom” Farrah Abraham — struck a plea deal after she was accused of choking her daughter … and as part of the deal, she wants her knives back.
Danielson agreed to a deferred prosecution at Pottawattamie County court in Iowa today — meaning if she has no other legal issues and complies with her probation, the case will be dropped.
She also pled guilty to a lesser charge and got a suspended sentence of 30 days in jail. As part of the plea deal, the prosecution had to return two kitchen knives that were seized as evidence.
Danielson was arrested last month after she allegedly choked her daughter Farrah, who appeared on the MTV show “Teen Mom.”
Are Jersey Shore’s Sammi “Sweetheart” Giancola and Ronnie Magro on the rocks?
On Thursday’s reunion show (which was taped last week), never-before-seen footage of Sammi and Mike “The Situaion” Sorrentino was shown.
As the host teased the clip, Sammi looked like she was going to cry and quickly stormed off stage, much to the shock of her castmates.
Ronnie chased after her. “Sammi, stop” he pleaded.
“I’m just very embarrassed right now,” she was overheard saying as the show cut to commercial break.
When the show returned, Sammi appeared back on stage and explained, “I just think it was an emotional breakdown. I’m good.”
But things got more awkward when the clip aired.
It showed Sammi in bed with The Situation. At one point, she admitted to Mike that she gave her number to another guy (while dating Ronnie) and also gave The Situation a kiss on the cheek.
Naturally, Ronnie was livid.
“I didn’t know about that,” Ronnie said after seeing the clip. “I cut girls quicker than barbers do. She can be right on the list. I really don’t care.”
