Martin Short Impersonates the Entire Cast of 'Jersey Shore' on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live'
From: http://www.tvsquad.com/
Hey, MTV! There's no need to pay all those 'Jersey Shore' cast members all that money. Not when you can just pay one guy. Martin Short proved he knows what the kids are watching on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' (Weeknights, 12AM on ABC).
He put together a movie trailer for a 'Jersey Shore' film in which he plays every member of the cast, including the newest: Snooki's pickle baby. Yes, it's really a pickle.
The absurd short had Short dressed as each cast member, and he was surprisingly believable as most of them. He seemed to especially have a grasp on Snooki's personality and character.
Watch the full interview here:

Snooki from 'Jersey Shore' hits cops with expletive-filled rant during her arrest
Nicole 'Snooki' Polizzi gave Seaside Heights cops a piece of her mind.
Snooki is her own No. 1 fan.
"Jersey Shore" star Nicole (Snooki) Polizzi reckons Seaside Heights residents should feel lucky to have her parading around their turf wearing skimpy outfits, downing shots and causing a scene.
"I'm the best thing in this town," she arrogantly declared after cops busted her for being a drunk nuisance Friday, according to an insider.
"She was bad-mouthing everyone who walked by her [in the police stationhouse]. She was saying 'I'm a star, you can't do this to me.'"
Snooki unleashed a boozed-up, expletive-filled rant after being arrested for disorderly conduct, and attempted to use her new-found fame as a "get-out-of-jail-free" card.
"You can't tell me what to do - I'm Snooki," she yelled at officers, according to witnesses. "Do you know who I am? I'm f------ Snooki. You can't do this to me. I'm f------ Snooki. You guys are going to be sorry for this. Release me!"
Not surprisingly, her harsh language didn't do the trick.
The pint-sized reality TV star was hauled away from the Jersey shore boardwalk in cuffs Friday as her oversized shades slid down her nose. A photo of her looking dishevelled with mascara running down her face while in custody also surfaced yesterday, as locals took stock of her unruly behavior and lashed out at the reality show cast.
"It's embarrassing," said Peter Smith, 39. "I've seen them every day and night for the last two weeks, and they've been terrible. They were even trying to charge $100 to have a photo with them the other night."
"They've no class," said John Ciallella, 54. "As an Italian-American, it's offensive. I guess it's drumming business up, but is it the kind of business we want here?"
Saturday night, Snooki headed to a sex toy store with new cast member Dina Nicole. Inside the Love Shack - which sells adult videos and DVDs, candles, oils, adult novelties and sexy lingerie - Snooki and Nicole giggled and playfully spanked each other with some of the items before leaving with X-rated popsicles.
"They were very, very nice," a clerk who identified herself as Brandie said. "They bought a lot of stuff."
"They were all-American girls," said Kim, another clerk, adding that the pair was accompanied by a security guard who looked like A-Rod.
On Friday, Snooki had been boozing with pals in bars along the beach and was spotted drinking tequila shots and Long Island iced teas by lunchtime.
Wearing a red and black T-shirt with the word "SLUT" across the chest, she fell off a bicycle, crawled drunkenly on the beach and tried to shove a man showering by the boardwalk before she was arrested.
She headed back to the boardwalk Saturday night, cutting to the front of the line to get on an amusement ride.
People waiting in line yelled "Hurry up, Snooki! Hurry up!" as an MTV camera crew filmed it all.

Americas Got Talent: Fighting Gravity Lights up a Room
by Emily Exton
from: http://popwatch.ew.com/
It’s been a long journey, but we’ve finally made it to the live auditions of America’s Got Talent. While there may be some questionable acts still in contention, Fighting Gravity is one that certainly deserves a shot at the $1 million prize. They’re a mix of the ABDC champion JabbaWockeeZ and Kanye West circa his Glow in the Dark Tour (blame it on the hidden faces and neon sunglasses), and even after watching their performance multiple times, I’m still surprised at how many of them are actually on stage when the lights come up:
We learned a little bit about these fraternity brothers at their New York audition. Nick lauded them as an act that “HAS NEVER BEEN SEEN BEFORE IN THE HISTORY OF America’s Got Talent,” and warned audience members that every light in the building was about to go out (so they can kidnap you and take you back to their planet…eh, or something). They’re a bunch of engineers and business majors with no previous dance experience, who just want to headline a show on the Vegas strip (though doesn’t everyone on this show?). Even if a close camera shot revealed a bit of the mystery during their New York audition, they are still pretty cool and refreshingly different. Add a few songs that I could sing along to, and I’d be hooked watching these guys for hours. If forced to chose between Fighting Gravity and basically any other act in the competition? I’d pick these guys every time.

Girls rescued from fake 'Big Brother'

Nine young women tricked into joining a fake reality show and kept isolated for two months were rescued by the gendarmerie Tuesday.
The women, some as young as 16, were kept confined in a villa in the Beykoz district of Istanbul and videos of them in the house were sold over the Internet.
According to reports, the organizers of the fake show placed advertisements in newspapers that called for “contestants to compete in a reality show akin to ‘Big Brother’ that will be broadcast on FX TV” and interviewed dozens of would-be contenders.
Nine were told they were chosen and made to sign a contract that stipulated that if any of the participants left before two months were up, they would have to pay a fine of 50,000 Turkish Liras. The young women were also told they would have no contact with the outside world, including their families, for the two-month period. Dreaming of becoming television stars, they accepted all the preconditions.
Cameras set up around the villa recorded every moment and naked videos of the participants were sold on the Internet.
Some of the women, realizing the scam, wanted to get out, but were prevented from doing so by the organizers. A person who stayed at the house with them warned that they would have to pay the fine if they left.
Those who tried to leave anyway found they could not because they were locked inside the villa.
A 16-year-old’s parents eventually contacted the gendarmerie, notifying them that they had not seen their daughter for two months and could not reach the organizers.
Once the gendarmerie went to the address the parents provided, they were greeted by cries for help coming from inside.
The gendarmerie staged a raid on the villa, rescuing the young women and detaining the individual who had been staying with them.
In their testimonies to gendarmerie officials, the women said they were also beaten from time to time.
The gendarmerie said the investigation into the matter continued.

STEVEN SEAGAL STARS IN REALITY SHOW 'LAWMAN'
POSTED BY Wookie Johnson
The gods have been kind to us today. Here we have a first look at the new A&E reality series Steven Seagal: Lawman. Now that he's run out of C-Level rappers to co-star with, Seagal has been moonlighting with a New Orleans Sheriff's Department between film roles. And this fall we get to go on a ride along. Although the show is probably heavily staged, it's still more exciting than the alternative idea they were tossing around, Steven Seagal: Catsitter.

ABC to Premier Dancing With The Guards
Reby Sky (on probation for resisting arrest) is an early favorite.
But that’s just not enough to save the network. They needed something else to save them from the poor ratings. Then last week, that something happened. Indy race car driver Helio Castroneves was arrested and indicted for tax fraud. Castroneves, for the uninitiated, is also a former winner of Dancing With The Stars.
Thus was born ABC’s new program, to premier in November, Dancing With The Guards, a dancing reality show which will follow various C-list celebrities, actors, singers and jocks in a jailhouse dancing competition. And thanks to our contacts with ABC, here’s a list of the competitors.
Heather Locklear: The actress and former star of Dynasty and Melrose Place was arrested for DUI last week. If she gets cleaned up, she should provide a little sex appeal.
Ryan O’Neal: Ironically, the former Oscar nominee actor, whose last role was of the prison-bound father of the Temperance Brennan character on Bones, was recently arrested and charged with drug possession. And he just happens to be the father of actress Tatum O’Neal, who besides having her own drug arrest problems, is also a former Dancing With The Stars contestant.
Mindy McCready: The former mistress of Roger Clemens and failed country singer was recently sentenced to 60 days behind bars for violating her probation arising from a 2004 drug possession conviction. She has some experience with swaying behind a microphone and could surprise if she gets the Rocket’s support.
Travis Henry: The former NFL running back was arrested last week for conspiring to distribute cocaine. He must have been trying to find someway to pay the child support for all of his kids. If he can get the votes of his kids, he could be a surprise underdog.
Amy Winehouse: The songstress may not want to go to rehab, I say no, no, no. But she’s been arrested a few times, and there are probably a few more arrests yet to come. There’s no telling what she can do if she’s sober.
Quinton “Rampage” Jackson: The former heavyweight Ultimate Fighting Champ was arrested and charged with several felony counts for fleeing arrest after wrecking into several vehicles. Big men generally don’t do well in this contest, so he’ll probably be an early elimination.
Lisa Nowak: She’s everybody’s all-time favorite astronaut who supposedly attempted to kidnap a woman who was dating the guy who Nowak was having an affair with. And if she’s crazy enough to wear diapers while driving so that she wouldn’t have to stop, then there’s no telling what she will do to win this competition.
O.J. Simpson: Everybody’s favorite Heisman trophy winner was found guilty of kidnapping and armed robbery last week in a bizarre case involving memorabilia which once belonged to Simpson. Simpson was known for his evasive moves on the playing field, and the courthouse, so he should be a favorite in the competition.
Reby Sky: I know you’re asking, but there’s always someone in this competition who nobody knows. Sky is a former Playboy model who is also supposedly an actress and dancer. She’s also the QB for the Lingerie Football League’s Tampa Breeze. And she’s currently on probation for resisting arrest last December. This is the odds-on early favorite among the women.
Helio Castroneves: He’s not in jail, yet. But as a favor to ABC, he’s agreed to compete – besides, he might need the extra cash for the IRS. As a former Dancing With The Stars champion, he’s the easy favorite.
