The premiere begins with the cast discussing what the summer’s roommate situation will be. Snooki announces to the cast that since she peed in her bed last year, she should get the same bed. No one argues with her.

Describing her love of pickles as an “overwhelming feeling that she cannot explain,” Snooki wastes no time and heads straight to the fridge.

Pauly D is worried that he is becoming as white as his teeth, so what is the first thing he must do? GTL of course.

After a GTL run and a visit to the barber shop, “Vinny’s a juicehead!”.

The crew returns from a night out and Deena is not too happy that Pauly D is flirting with Snooki’s friend Ryder.

This was just… awkward.

“Got your metrocard? Why, so everybody can ‘Ryder’ just like a bus route?”

Guido Bingo: noun, Origin: Jersey Shore Season 5

1. A game in which players sleep with the male cast of Jersey Shore. The winner being the first person to bed Vinny, Pauly D, Mike, and Ronnie. ex: Ryder has not won Guido Bingo because she has not slept with Ronnie.

If you can’t travel all the time, thank goodness you can flip on your TV and set a course for adventure by watching more fab travel TV than ever.

Are you into wild and woolly Anthony Bourdain? Smart and salty Joanna Lumley? Or maybe it’s all about eating your way around the planet? Or just watching goofball Americans sweat it out on The Amazing Race…

And then there’s Snooki. Italy may never be the same.

VOTE!

THE AMAZING RACE, CBS Why does NNN Travel Awards Academy member Duane Wells love The Amazing Race? “Seeing the world through the personal drama of others as their relationships deteriorate and they ruthlessly compete to enrich themselves? Um, what’s not to love?” Gay travel guru Ed Salvato keeps it simple: “The show’s just a lot of fun and really digs into a destination.” (Vote via Twitter using #NNNTA_AmazingRace.)

ANTHONY BOURDAIN: NO RESERVATIONS, TRAVEL CHANNEL TripOut’s John Polly is a big Bourdain booster: “Chef-turned-author turned TV-badass, Anthony Bourdain may be the first to make travel shows both riveting, ribald and often emotional and educational. From war zones to bayou hog roasts, Bourdain drinks hard and travels harder!” (Vote via Twitter using #NNNTA_Bourdain.)

THE BEST THING I EVER ATE, FOOD NETWORK Foodie and upscale travel guru Duane Wells chimes in on this tasty nominee: “It’s like a guide to the best, most interesting dishes in every category from around the country by some of the country‘s best chef‘s and biggest foodies. I feverishly take notes on the places these experts recommend and visit as many of the places as I can when I’m in those cities.” (Vote via Twitter using #NNNTA_BestAte.)

JERSEY SHORE SEASON 4 – ITALY, MTV Ok, bear with us on this one, as Sherman Travel’s Darren Frei explains this nominee’s merits: “Because watching Snooki and her crew confirm the absolute worst stereotypes about Americans abroad is both fascinating and deeply disturbing, in a high-speed train wreck kind of way.” (Vote via Twitter using #NNNTA_JerseyShore.)

JOANNA LUMLEY’S NILE, ITV Freelancer travel-meister Adam Graham explains Ms. Lumley’s river-running charms: “Lumley’s much smarter and more compassionate than her Ab-Fab alterego Patsy, but just as funny.”  (Vote via Twitter using #NNNTA_LumleysNile.)

…HASN’T BEEN MADE YET Concierge.com contributing editor Emma Sloley nails this nominee: “Sorry… Still waiting.” (Vote via Twitter using #NNNTA_HasntMade.)

VOTE FOR FAVORITE TV TRAVEL SHOW!

These eager art-lovers really want to be first in line to view “David” at the Accademia Galleries.

A summer holiday to visit old Italy is a rite of passage for many an American. You don’t even have to be Italian to appreciate the masterpieces of Florence with its Duomo, the Uffizi galleries, Michelangelo’s David, the rustic beauty of the ancient houses perched on the Ponte Vecchio over the Arno… And Snooki’s poof.

Yup. Jersey Shore Season 4 premieres tonight. Expect a car wreck (literally, Snooki runs into an Italian cop car) and just the usual train wreck that comes with you mix Ronnie, Sammi, J-WOWW, Pauly D, Vinny, The Situation and the rest with a few drinks and the world at large.

Watch the extended trailer. It’s like being stuck on a bus tour with the worst/best fellow travelers you can imagine.

OK. Now please go watch A Room with a View, for a decidedly more romantic/prissy-fabulous take on a visit to Florence. (Maggie Smith = Snooki; and Judi Dench = J-WOWW.) Of course, both ARWAV & Jersey Shore feature short precocious heroines, fights, overwrought costuming, gossiping travelers, slutty make-out sessions and wet nudity, so it’s a win-win either way. Merchant Ivory, MTV – same difference!

They’re, like… Totally the same, right?

Fresh from the pages of today’s Star Magazine (via the fab folks at Jezebel), it’s this little Double Take showcase of RuPaul’s Drag Race‘s Shangela and Snooki in the same damn dress!

Snooki wore hers to MTV’s European Music Awards; Shangela rocked her version at the RuPaul’s Drag Race Premiere Party in L.A. And clearly, you don’t want to end up wearing the same frock as Shangie. She rocked it!!!

Sorry, Snooks.

• Internet music video premiere of the week: Rihanna’s “Only Girl”

Oh I get it; Rihanna’s hopping around fields and other wide open, nature-y spaces alone because she’s the only girl in the world. How clever. Now somebody explain that red hair to me. I guess since Katy Perry decided to don a blue wig, Rihanna has chosen Sharon Osbourne red? At least she looks hot. And I’m glad they finally released a video; I’ve been playing this song on loop all week long!

Sexy beach photos, Joisey accents and bad weave upkeep after the jump!

I tried to pick the photo that was least offensive to the eyes. This is the best I could do.

• Zach Galifianakis does his best Heidi Klum

You know, not everybody can rock a one piece, and that’s ok. Zach Galifianakis clearly knows this and clearly doesn’t care as you can see in these pictures from his upcoming Vanity Fair photo shoot. Anything for his art I guess. I will say, he is giving great face. Look at him smiling with his eyes! Tyra would be so proud.

Sorry, while trying to come up with a witty caption, I was distracted. And entranced. For five minutes.

• Tom Hardy to get the Batman treatment?

So Joseph Gordon-Levitt isn’t the only Inception actor that’s rumored to be in the next Batman installment. The insanely dreamy Tom Hardy is now rumored to play a lead part in the next Nolan directed Bat film. Now, everybody is assuming that he’s going to play a villain, which I wouldn’t mind. I’d love to see him play an evil criminal who hypnotizes his enemies by pouting his lips. As long as tights are involved, I’ll be happy.

Is it just me or do they sound like Amy Poehler and Mya Rudolph in Bronx Beat?

• Introducing: Flow and Nancy

Snooki and JWoww at least have a good sense of humor about themselves. At least, they think their mockery of themselves is hilarious, as you can see in this new video. Basically, they giggle a lot and go crazy on the Jersey accents. Ok, so it’s a little funny. And the real joke is on all of us, because these ladies are laughing all the way to the bank.

Oh Britney. It’s like her hair is  constant reminder of…those years.

• Weaves,  baldness and greasiness: the true Brit Brit hair true Hollywood story

Ah, Britney Spears and her hair. Who hasn’t had the urge to track her down and wash that mop she carries around? I think Tyra Banks should run in and teach her the basics of good weave upkeep (she’s been doing it for years with the Top Model girls). One day, Brit Brit, you’ll learn. I’ll leave you guys with this: Bossip has collected a bunch of images of Britney’s bad hair throughout the years. It’s pretty scary; you’ve been warned. Check them out here, if you’re up for it.

You say gelato, I say mango daquiri. Both are spirit-lifting.

“I want to go somewhere where I can marvel at something. Language, gelato, spaghetti… Something!!!”

Is that Julia Roberts in Eat Pray Love or… SNOOKI? The similarities are there kids.

In Eat Pray Love, Julia is fiending to devour Italian culture. Maybe instead of a quest for love and spirituality, she just needs some hot-tub time at the Jersey Shore/Miami with Vinny and the Sitch??? Aren’t they all just really on a traveling quest of self-discovery?

Hey Julia — Want gelato? The Shore kids’ got it.

Anyway — I think the similarities are obvious. Snooki’s a savvy traveler, too. Fist pumping on Ocean Drive or cycling thru rice paddies in Bali… Escape comes in many shades of orange tan, thanks.

Julia + Elephant = Sammi + Ronnie

See!?? Don’t act like it ain’t the same thing…

More Jersey Shore comes to you every Thursday at 10pm on MTV. And check out Jim Cantiello’s killer Top 5 recaps! Who needs James Franco or Javier Bardem when ya got Jim???

Italy is Italy is Italy. Aiiight?

This guy is NOT taking the “Peacock” bait. Not for a minute!!!!

Italians do it better! And so do peacocks!

Alert the media: Will Pulos is again running about Gotham with a mic and a nose for news… This week in “Pop Culture Detective” he’s getting to the bottom of Snooki’s boozy incarceration, Katy Perry’s bird fetish and something about Justin Bieber, grilled cheese sandwiches and book deals.

And to keep it legit and classy, look out for the references to Ernest Hemingway and Alice Walker. Yup, that’s how we roll.

Now, who wants a Vitamin Water???

When these two were among the more reserved party attendees, you know it was a good night.

Perhaps you missed last night’s fruit-loopy NewNowNext Awards on Logo. That means you missed Cheyenne Jackson and Niecy Nash hosting a veritable carnival ride of celebs, kookiness, draggy sass, music performances and antics by the likes of Paula Abdul, Perez Hilton, hottie Jesus Luz, Janice Dickinson, Snooki, The Situation, and a busload of drag divas.

But fear not, here’s a quick parade of some of my favorite moments from the night. (And I think there are more than seven, but whatevs…) Consider it a tasting menu of NewNowNext morsels. And you’ll still not be so full that you can’t hammer down your usual Friday evening assortment of beverages.

The Chatroulette Sketch featuring Adam Lambert, George Takei & Cloris Leachman

Cheyenne Jackson & Alec Mapa grind it, find it & tongue it to death.

Paula Abdul accepts the “Always Next, Forever Now” Icon Award

The House of “CAUSE YOU’RE HOT”ness! Oh kids… The stories I could tell about what went on behind this door… Well, they’d be very short. The stories, I mean.

So you came, you watched, you gasped — and you heard all of Janice Dickinson‘s heckling too, eh? Yes, this year’s NewNowNext Awards are now a blur. But just because — SPOILER ALERT — you saw Cheyenne singing, Paula thanking, Jujubee and Johnny Weir walking it off, and Agnes’ dancers rocking those gay light sabers and you even saw Adam Lambert and Cloris Leachman‘s dirty ChatRoulette.com action… It doesn’t mean you saw everything.

I’ve got a few more behind the scenes pics to dish with you….

In the alley backstage, Ongina (with Jujubee) was all like, “Hello — could you take a picture for ME for a change, bitch?”

A lot more of Paula, Cheyenne and more after the jump.

Celebs: They’re just like us. They eat dinner in their trailers!!! Bon app, Cheyenne.

Drag Race’s Morgan McMichaels on the shoot backlot. Looking fiiiiine!

I love this one of Brad Goreski from The Rachel Zoe Project getting chatted up by drag-a-licious Damiana Garcia. His look is priceless.

Cute British pop-lad Dan Black gets stumped. In the quizzical sense…

Agnes’ backup dancers backstage. GOD, I love dancers… Wait, did I say that out loud?

You gotta love it when you tell a drag queen, “Hey make that funny face again…” And she will! Go Raven!!

Folks take their seats. I love that Perez and Tatianna (way back there) are totally into the camera… And Snooki could give a sh*t.

Paula Abdul was totally the nicest lady. And then Jujubee, for no reason, just snapped her neck in half like a twig. Poor Paula never saw it coming…

I posted this one before, but this shot really blows me away. Ms. Weir is serving major face. And she knows how to find her lighting, right? This is very Olivia deHavilland in the prime of her “Rebecca”-era beatific beauty. I’m dying.

Hey Mr. DJ, put a record on… Then take your shirt off. And then bend ov… Oh wait. Sorry. But damn — he is FINE!

And the party just isn’t over until Johnny Weir’s ass has been woman-handled repeatedly. Heavenly…

And then you REALLY didn’t need to see this one. But I’m serving it to you anyway… Funny part is, I had no idea her tongue was even out like that til I saw the photo later. Attagirl, Mystique. Maybe this can be the new NO H8 promo image?

Still need more photos?? Check out all the NewNowNext Awards Flipbooks full of show moments, hot celebs and more madness. Click ’til you’re sore!!!
