As “Jersey Shore” continues filming in Italy, the cast members spend part of their time working at a pizza parlor. On Thursday, May 26, Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi, Jenni “JWoww” Farley and Ronnie Ortiz-Magro were spotted serving their duty at O’Vesuvio pizzeria.
Wearing a blue shirt, denim shorts, sneakers and colorful socks, Snooki was seen holding a pizza outside the eatery. She was joined by Ronnie who donned a white shirt paired with black training trousers, and brought some fliers to be distributed to passerby.
JWoww, meanwhile, was in charge behind the counter. She showed off her skill in making pizza dough, but at another point she was spotted sneaking a bite of pasta. Putting an apron on top of her red shirt, she reportedly cranked out Neapolitan pies for the dinner crowd.
“Jersey Shore” cast arrived in Florence, Italy on May 14 to shoot the fourth season of the reality show. As of late, Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino was caught sporting a bruise on the left part of his face which reportedly resulted from a fist fight with Ronnie.

Cops: Dude Looked Like a Lady, Ran Off From IHOP
May 25, 2011 :: Posted by - admin :: Category - jersey cloth
This one takes the (pan)cake.
(You’ll groan at the joke after reading below … if you haven’t already.)
Police say two men dined and dashed from an IHOP in Fair Lawn, striking a restaurant manager with their car as they fled. At least, technically, it was two men, police say.
The driver of the car, police said, was dressed as a woman. He (or, if he prefers, she) was reportedly in a T-shirt, a black-hooded sweatshirt, and, we swear the police account says this … “stretchy pants.”
This is, of course, unacceptable for two reasons. For one, it’s wrong to steal and to assault people. But more than that: Have you seen the calorie counts at IHOP? No one should consider wearing stretchy pants after a meal there.
If you see anything, do a double-take, then call call Fair Lawn police at 201-796-1400.
Each week, Patch takes a peek at some of the more surprising, shocking, stunning and occasionally silly police-related incidents reported throughout New Jersey for “OMGs from NJ PDs.” Some of the other reports:
If At First You Don’t Succeed: Toms River police say their most recently apprehended bank robber didn’t like to travel much. He allegedly entered a Provident Bank, but left after a bank employee asked him to remove his hat. Then, police say, he headed to a Sovereign bank across the street … just as the Provident employees on the other side of the road were reporting a suspicious person to Toms River dispatchers. Police say the robber handed a note to a Sovereign teller that secured him the $600 in her drawer, and an arrest not long after.
Yet Again, You Don’t Tug on Superman’s Cape: You know what’s never good? Getting so drunk your family feels the need to call the cops. You know what’s worse? Threatening to kill the officer when he shows up. Washington Township, Morris County police say one woman did both.
Sorry, Not Here: A Fanwood resident stumbled upon an uninvited guest earlier this month. In the mid-afternoon, the resident was home when he heard a noise coming from downstairs, police said. When he went to investigate, he discovered another Fanwood resident in his living room, police said. The unexpected visitor said he was looking for his son, then left, according to police; he was ultimately arrested on a trespassing charge.

The Situation (Mike Sorrentino) and the rest of the Jersey Shore stars seem to be loving their time in Florence, Italy. The guidos and guidettes touched down just under a week ago, and they’ve been exploring and dining and shopping in style since!
There doesn’t seem to be much GTL in Florence, but these stars are keeping themselves busy with plenty of other things. The Situation even found a girl to smooch a few days ago, and, of course, the makeout session was caught on camera.
Just yesterday the cast was out filming season 4 of the hit reality show when he was spotted sipping on a juice box of all things. We love it! Take a look at the latest pics of the Shore crew out and about in Italia.

Could FC Barcelona’s New Shirt Be the Worst Soccer Jersey Ever?
May 19, 2011 :: Posted by - admin :: Category - jersey cloth
F.C. Barcelona and Nike (NKE), which provides the club’s uniforms, seem certain to trigger a firestorm when they unveil the new 2011/12 season team shirt, expected today, after accepting $225 million from the Qatar Foundation to move the Unicef logo to the back of the shirt. Now the Unicef name will grace the butt of every Barca player, and that symbolism tells you all you need to know about the dominance of sponsor money in football.
A football shirt design can seem trivial, but this is Barcelona, one of the biggest sport brands on the planet. The club will sell hundreds of thousands of its shirts to fans; it generates €122.2 million in revenues from its commercial operations alone.
Previously Barcelona donated $1.9 million a year to the children’s charity and played without sponsors. Barcelona will still donate the money, but next season Unicef will take a literal back seat to the Qatar Foundation, which has funded Hamas, supported a Muslim cleric who has called for the death of all Jews, and is run by Qatar’s royal family.
Not helping matters are the recent allegations that Qatar bribed some of the FIFA judges to get the 2022 World Cup; and that Qatar will likely lose money by hosting the tournament.
It’s all anathema to Barcelona, a club that is owned by its fans and has a leftist tradition dating back to the Spanish Civil War. Barcelona has literally and metaphorically sold out because the club has the same economic problems everyone else does — crushing debt caused by spiraling player acquisition costs. The club’s marketing director, Laurent Colette, recently told the French media that Barca may have had to do the unthinkable — sell Lionel Messi, the best football player in the world — if it had not taken the Qatari money:
“It’s exciting work but we must respect the institution while being pragmatic,” Colette told Le Parisien newspaper ahead of Barcelona’s Copa del Rey defeat to bitter rivals Real Madrid.
“For example, the arrival of Qatar Foundation on the jersey was necessary but did not please the romantics. But if we did not have this sponsorship, we would have had to sell.”
“We have become vulgar”
Resentment is already simmering among the faithful. Johan Cruyff, a Barcelona legend who played for the club between 1973 and 1978, has repeatedly condemned the Qatar sponsorship, most recently in the Spanish press:
We have sold this uniqueness for about six per cent of our budget. I understand that we are currently losing more than we are earning. However, by selling the shirt it shows me that we are not being creative, and that we have become vulgar.
Commercial revenues, from shirt sales and such, are becoming a bigger part of football economics, but shirt sales are not guaranteed. At Manchester United, shirt sales slipped 10 percent when fans launched a boycott protest over the club’s indebted American ownership.
When photos of the new Barcelona shirt leaked, fan bulletin boards filled up with complaints.
No wonder the Qatar Foundation is currently searching for a new PR agency to handle its £3 million account. May I suggest that contenders offer the client their experience in crisis communications?
