MTV Greenlights Not 1 But 2 Jersey Shore Spin-offs

Now we all know what the M in MTV stands for. There was a time when MTV was the coolest and one of the most influential networks around inspiring music, dance, pop culture, art, fashion, language, style, film - pretty much everything. Please know, MTV was also notoriously segregating and discriminating denying all Black musicians and their videos airplay until Michael Jackson and Prince could no longer be held back. FACT!

Today, David Janollari, MTV Head of Programming, and Chris Linn, MTV Executive Vice President of Programming and Head of Production, announced based upon its record-breaking series “Jersey Shore” the network has given the greenlight to new programming that will feature cast members Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi, Paul “DJ Pauly D” Delvecchio and Jenni “JWoww” Farley. Executive Produced by SallyAnn Salsano of 495 Productions, the two untitled reality projects begin production later this year and are slated to air in 2012.

Both series will chronicle the lives all three lead away from their summer shares and housemates in the their “Jersey Shore” cable series. Linn said, “we’re excited to put the spotlight on their lives away from the shore as they pursue their individual passions, careers and relationships. Both series are fun, fresh ways for us to evolve what is an already successful brand for us."

It's official, MTV is officially becoming the "Jersey Shore" network. Caldo disordine!
