Pauly D

Despite the fact that she has not yet appeared on Jersey Shore Family Vacation -- and it looks more and more like she never will -- Sammi Giancola is still close friends with several of her former castmates.

Others ... not so much.

Death. Taxes. DJ Pauly D rocking the exact same oil-slick black, blow-out hairstyle until he either dies or goes bald.

We might not particularly like any of these things, but we used to be able to take a certain comfort in how reliable they were.

Gym. Tanning. Laundry.

And just so much making out!

Are you ready to spend the holidays with the fam?

So asks MTV in the first promo for Jersey Shore; Family Vacation Season 4, which is set to return this fall with new episodes.

MTV's A Double Shot at Love With Vinny and Pauly D never quite transformed into the Bachelor-esque ratings senation that network execs were expecting.

And that's not just because of the confusing, unwieldy title.

Even following a season that featured a prison release, an arrest for domestic violence and the most controversial wedding reception speech in reality TV history, many thought this was it for Jersey Shore.

Well, another episode of Jersey Shore has come and gone, and we still haven't seen the infamous Angelina wedding roast.

(Remember when this show was famous for how much drama and insanity it would to cram into a single episode? Now it's got so much filler it should be called Jersey More.)

Given the fact that they never actually smushed, you would think the morning after the alleged JWoww and Psuly D hookup would be pretty chill.

But because all of their roommates wanted them to smush, and the principle players themselves were a little hazy on the events of the previous night, the following day was about as chill as a crime scene investigation.

Did it really happen on Thursday night?!?

After weeks of build-up, speculation and hype, did JWoww and Pauly D really take their relationship to the next level?

In a sense, the lives our favorite guidos are more fascinating than ever before.

In recent years, the Jersey Shore gang has gotten married and divorced; some of them have had kids; and some are devoutly sober, while others continue to party like they're on a never-ending spring break.

None of us has ever experienced anything like the coronavirus pandemic before, and we're all dealing with it in different ways.

Baking and growing facial hair seem to be two of the most popular coping mechanisms, and it seems that Jersey Shore star Pauly D has decided to jump on at least half of the bread and beards bandwagon.

The trailer for the current season of Jersey Shore promises a lot of memoranle moments in the lives in the lives of the Seaside crew.

We'll see Mike Sorrentino's release from prison, the infamous roast at Angelina's wedding, and of course, a long overdue hookup ten years in the making.

It's a hookup eleven years in the making!

Pauly D and Jenni Farley began flirting with one another in the very first episode of Jersey Shore way back in 2009.

There was one troubling sight on Jersey Shore: Family Vacation this week...

... along with many signs of serious trouble on the horizon.

It's been over four months since Mike Sorrentino turned over himself over to authorities and began serving an 8-month sentence on tax fraud charges.

During that time, Mike has been hitting the gym and doing his laundry (probably not a whole lot of tanning going on) within the confines of the Otisville Correctional Facility in Upstate New York.

These days, Jersey Shore fanatics are forced to rely on the surprisingly entertaining Double Shot at Love in order to get their guido fix.

But fear not, fist-pumpers and tanning bed enthusiasts -- Jersey Shore: Family Vacation Season 3 is headed your way!

Thus far, 2019 has been a tough year for America's favorite band of guidos.

The cast of Jersey Shore has been hit hard by a number of misfortunes, the most notable of which was Mike Sorrentino going to jail for tax fraud.

The stars of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation are older and (marginally) wiser than they once were.

But does that make them marriage material? Pauly D and Vinny think so -- and so does MTV.

For most of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation Season 2, fans have been watching Ronnie get pounded on by girlfriend Jen Harley.

The two have a very unhealthy relationship.
