"JERSEY SHORE" CHEAPSKATES

After calling the MTV hit reality show, the "Jersey Shore" a guilty pleasure of mine for the last few years, I have to admit that I'm a bit disappointed in these kids who reached fame and much fortune from having their lives chronicled in a town that seems to no longer exist because of Hurricane Sandy. Why am I disappointed? Well, it's almost been a week since the storm hit and these kids haven't really done anything to help the efforts. Okay, Jennifer "J-Wow" Farley was on Leno this past Tuesday calling the destruction "devastating" and asked people to donate to the American Red Cross, while her co-stars Pauly "D" DelVecchio, Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi and Vinny Guadagnino asked their Twitter followers to donate $10 to the American Red Cross by texting REDCROSS to 90999. Really? First of all, anyone who's anyone knows that the Red Cross has become one of the biggest scams on the face of this earth. Back when 9/11 happened, how much of the 9/11 relief donated to the Red Cross was actually used? In fact, I remember a news story stating that the Red Cross's volunteers were stealing money from the organization. So, that is the last place I would donate my money to. 

Second, these kids from the Jersey Shore have become international celebrities, who get paid a lot of money from their hit show and the many appearances they do throughout the year. I haven't read one news story yet that said one of these kids reached into their own pockets to help pay or donate towards reconstructing the destructed town of Seaside Heights, NJ, the town that has virtually made them overnight sensations. Am I being too hard on these kids? Maybe, but now is 'their' time to give back! You have to give props to people like Jon Bon Jovi, Bruce Springsteen, Christina Aguilera and Sting, who will be performing a benefit concert tonight in Rockefeller Center to benefit the victims of Hurricane Sandy. Back in the 80s, Bon Jovi filmed his "In And Out of Love" video right on the same boardwalk that got washed away in the storm, and Springsteen, well he's The Boss of New Jersey! You can bet each one of these celebs donated their money to help their home states, but yes, they too are asking for donations to the American Red Cross, unfortunately! The point that I'm trying to make is that they are donating their time to the places they grew up in.

 Are the Jersey Shore kids donating any money? I guess who knows? Should they be? YES! Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino, Deena Cortese, and Sammi "Sweetheart" Giancola are all Jersey residents, and not a peep out of them wanting to help out this 'situation'. Then again, they might not have power! What about Danny Merk, who actually owns the house that the kids lived in for the past four summers and the Shore Store? This guy's lost it all, but he's got his plywood ready to get back into Seaside to fix up the iconic house. I think the Jersey Shore kids should be right next to him helping him rebuild. That would make me feel better about them donating their time! Forgetting about asking The Real Housewives of New Jersey for a donation! We all know how that story goes already! At least, these Jersey Shore kids are making an effort in asking for donations. I would just like to see them do the donating as well. I know that I'll catch some flack for writing this blog today, but again, it's my opinion and as for my feelings about the Red Cross, it's because of a past experience with them that left a bad taste in my mouth, but that's a whole other blog!

A HURRICANE NAMED SANDY

Seaside Heights, NJ--Wow!

 

 

I have no words for what we just witnessed. I, for one, took this storm lightly because I always felt that these weather forecasters over-exaggerate everything. Well, it seems, this time they had it right. I was fortunate enough to have power all night and no leaks in my house. My house had no gigantic trees next to it or around it, so I knew we were safe, but looking at the devastation on the Jersey shores and in NYC, my heart goes out to those who were affected. Today, I will not blog to be funny. Today, I will blog photos of some of the devastation that I found online to show those who don't live in the area what happened here. It was pretty bad.

SMOOSH THIS, SNOOKI!

I thought this entire phone hacking stuff was over! Apparently, it isn't as Jersey Shore star Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi, and I use the 'star' word loosely, has become the latest victim of cell phone hacking. Oh, may I add, just into time for the premiere of Snooki and J-Wow! Could this possibly be a publicity stunt to promote her new reality show with fellow Jersey Shore castmate, Jennifer "J-Wow" Farley? Trust me, I hate having to write about that dumb show that portrays us Jersey-ites as a state full of guidos, who like to start fights, go tanning, and are gym obsessed because I am neither of any of those, but this whole publicity stunt on Snooki's part kind of annoys me because of the timing and is so obvious that it was done to promote her new TV show that airs next week. Besides, who the hell wants to see an Oompa Loompa naked anyway?

Snooki wasn't the only one who's made headlines this week! Her fellow 'meatball' Deena Cortese was arrested this weekend for disorderly conduct at a bar in Seaside Heights, NJ. Snooki, not to be outdone, is making headlines today with these full-frontal nude pictures of herself in front of a mirror, making seductive faces as she shows off her tanned physique and her 'kookah', as they like to call it, in several cell phone pictures that were hacked from her cell phone. The photos were clearly older and were probably meant for her fiancée Jionni LaValle, and not the public eye. 

Snooki's rep confirmed that the photos were taken before her pregnancy, hence no baby bump in the pictures, but they were mixed in with a few nude snaps of former Jersey Shore castmate, Angela Pivarnick. Ew! Why couldn't these pics be of J-Wow? Now, that would be something to look at and be interested in. Who would be interested in seeing two naked trolls? At least Scarlett Johansson's leaked photos were hot!

Snooki's been relatively scandal-free in the past few months, as she's moved out of the Jersey Shore house into a house next door with her fiancée, Jionni. The couple is expecting their first child together this summer.

On another note, a couple of days ago, castmates J-Wow, Pauly D, and The Situation got into a bar brawl in Seaside that left J-Wow in crutches. Why couldn't that last sentence end with: "a bar brawl in Seaside that left J-Wow topless"? That would've been another great way to promote their new show rather than naked pictures of Snooki!

TANNING OBSESSED MOM TANS HER 5-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER

So, I took my cat to the vet this morning and as I sat in the waiting room, this horrible story came on the news. It was one of those stories that make you shake your head in disbelief and make you wonder what the hell is wrong with our society. Is there a brain cell missing in some us to make us act the way that we do?

This story was about a woman from Nutley, New Jersey, who was arrested after police said that she brought her 5-year-old daughter into a tanning booth, causing the little girl to suffer burns. 44-year-old Patricia Krentcil, who was charged with second degree child endangerment, claimed that her daughter was never exposed to the tanning booth's UV rays and instead got slightly burned while playing outside on a warm day. Yeah, right! According to the child's father, the little girl told her classmates at school that she "went tanning with mommy," and a teacher overheard the commentary inaccurately connecting the girls sunburn to the tanning salon trip and contacted police immediately.

Rich Krentcil, the child's father who is blown away by the publicity they're getting for all of this, still claims, "It was 85 degrees outside, she got sunburned. That's it! That's all that happened!" While his wife Patricia says that she treats her tanning salon trips as an errand in which she brings along her daughter, but insists the booth lights were never exposed to the little girl. Tanning salon trips an errand? What? It sounds like someone watches a little too much "Jersey Shore"! Does she go to the Gym before that and the Laundry after Tanning for a little GTL action? Seriously?

The Nutley, or shall I say Nutty, NJ mom, who was released on $25,000 bail, stated that it was like taking your daughter to go food shopping, and that tons of moms bring their children to the tanning salon. She went on to say that she's been frequenting her local salon for 10 years, and doesn't know why her visits there with her daughter have suddenly been called into question. She tans while her daughter waits in the room.

In the state of New Jersey, children under 14 are not allowed to tan at indoor salons, while those 14 to 17 years old may do so with a signed parent consent form. Patricia is expected to appear in court Wednesday and hopes to convince the judge it was all a misunderstanding. Personally, I think the only misunderstanding here is the color of her skin now! If you see the video footage of Patricia or even look at her pictures, she looks like a burnt Oompa Loompa! She should really be rethinking the whole tanning thing because her skin looks like leather and she just looks absolutely ridiculous! And if she did indeed put her child in harm's way by putting her in a tanning booth, she deserves any punishment coming to her! What a freaking monster!

Too Sexy For His Dog?

After reading this post, you might want to cause physical harm to the man in the photo above. Yes, I'm talking about the idiot who thinks he's "The Situation" from the MTV hit reality show, The Jersey Shore, who I'm sure doesn't speak a lick of English and is complete Eurotrash! I know this because I too lived in Astoria, NY for over a year, and the popular Queens area is full of Eurotrash, whom are probably illegal!

Anyway, the man, or shall I say dimwit, in the picture above, his name is Milan Rysa. He's a 30-year-old Astoria, Queens resident who recently tossed this (also pictured above) adorable 50-pound Chinese Shar-Pei, Brooklyn, out of his third story Steinway Street apartment building window to it's death. That's right! According to witnesses, there was dance music pumping, and I'm sure there was fist pumping, from the third floor window of the apartment building when all of a sudden a flying object flew out of the window with a yelp and hit the ground almost hitting a woman walking by. Another witness claimed that after the Shar-Pei hit the ground, the music was suddenly turned off and so were the lights in the apartment. Just writing this is making me sick to my stomach right now.



Finally, arriving on the scene, cops weren't sure what to expect as they armed themselves with a battering ram and bulletproof shields upon entering the apartment complex. Apparently, Rysa opened the door without any resistence, pretending that he just woke up and claiming that he was trying to catch up on some sleep. Is this guy a jackass or what? Did he really think that in a city like New York, no one was going to notice apartment lights and loud music suddenly going off after a dog was tossed out of your window and almost hitting pedestrians?

Rysa was immediately arrested for aggrevated animal cruelty and reckless endangerment, though he played dumb the entire time the cops questioned him. He was taken to Elmhurst Hospital Center for psychiatric evaluation. I'm thinking he's going to need more than that!

According to the New York Daily News (nydailynews.com/news/ny_crime/2011/09/14/2011-09-14_cruel_lunkhead_tosses_dog_plays_dumb__cops.html), Rysa's Facebook pages mainly contained shirtless beefcake pictures of himself, typical of self-indulged Eurotrash, but one photo album was titled 'My Lil Bad Boy' with pictures of Brooklyn as an adorable little puppy. According to Rysa's neighbors, the psycho has a history of abusing poor Brooklyn. For instance, he would leave the pup out in the public hallway fenced in by toddler gates right outside his apartment door. He would also let Brooklyn relieve himself on the roof of the building and would fling the feces on other apartment bulding rooftops, then he would leave Brooklyn on the hot rooftop during the day unattended for hours. Now, my question is if neighbors saw this going on, why wouldn't you call the ASPCA on this guy?  What is wrong with people? I know that people in New York tend to mind their own business, but when a life is being tortured like this, isn't it only human nature to try to save a life? In my eyes, Milan Rysa is no better than Michael Vick. This man needs to be put in prison for murder. A dog is a living being just like a human, and the crime should be treated accordingly. Better yet, maybe someone should make this imbicile crap on his own rooftop and stand on the hot rooftop barefooted for hours at a time! Or maybe someone should throw him out of a three story building window, and see how he likes it? Reading this story made me sick, and animal lovers worldwide should somehow get back at this guy, though I can't condone something like that publicly. You can read the story in the link above, and in case, you were wondering, yes, that is Brooklyn's body underneath the little body bag on the sidewalk. So, do you want to cause physical harm to this guy now?
