Mamma Mia! The Jersey Shore Cast Heads to Italy

How do you say "gym, tan, laundry" in Italian?

The cast of Jersey Shore is heading to Italy for season 4 of MTV's hit show, the network announced Tuesday.

"While the stateside Jersey Shore locales have become iconic for our audience ... Europe is a fresh spin on a show that continues to reach new heights for us," MTV's Chris Linn said in a statement. "The cast is headed to the birthplace of the culture they love and live by. We can't wait to see what erupts as a result."

Amid their inevitable shenanigans, the gang – which in season 3 includes Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi, Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino, Paul "DJ Pauly D" Delvecchio, Jenni "JWOWW" Farley, Vinnie Guadagnino, Ronnie Magro, Sammi "Sweetheart" Giancola – will leave "the boardwalk behind for the piazzas," "trade gorillas for Italian stallions" and, according to the statement, drop in on Vinny's Italian relatives for a famous Guadagnino family dinner.

"Ohh I Love Italy This Time A Yeahhh," Pauly D Tweeted Tuesday.

Adds Snooki: "Just heard the most amazing news!"

With a whole new country before them where they can create embarrassing moments, one thing we'd love to see is how The Situation's abs stack up compared to the classic competition of Michelangelo's statue of David, on display in Florence.

The next season is set to begin production in the spring in Europe and will air later this year, MTV says.

The Situation's Book Cover

Reality star, dancer, and now author – is there anything Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino can't do? (Or anywhere he won't flash his abs?)

The Jersey Shore star and former Dancing with the Stars contestant has a new book coming out. Titled Here's the Situation: A Guide to Creeping on Chicks, Avoiding Grenades, and Getting in Your GTL on the Jersey Shore, the cover features, shockingly, a photo of a grinning Sorrentino flashing his famous abs.

The book is published by Gotham and will released on November 2nd.

The Situation may be the first author to come out of Jersey Shore, but his costar, Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi, is following in his footsteps, with plans to write a book of her own.

SoFLa Local: Where Has the Jersey Shore Cast Been Hanging out in South Beach?

Pump your fists, Jersey Shore fans!

The cast of MTV’s reality hit is on the loose in South Beach — and filming is underway on their follow-up season.

After arriving in town Saturday, stars of the show have worked out in a local gym, hung at the beach and mixed with locals on Miami’s famed Ocean Drive.

Dressed in their Jersey Shore finest, Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino, Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi, Jenni “JWOWW” Farley and their costars partied at Ocean’s 10, an American-style sports bar that stretches between two hotels, the Edison and the Breakwater. There, they ate and drank colorful frozen drinks, laughing up a storm, according to an onlooker.

“They were here twice yesterday, for lunch and dinner, while shooting a segment of their reality show,” a source at the restaurant tells PEOPLE. “They loved the venue and all had a great time.”
Still, they may be only warming up in Miami, according to another source, who said they so far seemed to keep to themselves.

“They sat at a rectangle table and seemed to be in a bubble all of their own,” the source says. “They were nice and chatty but definitely did not get out of their own comfort zone. They need to get used to South Beach where people of all different backgrounds converge and chill. Time will tell.”
