Beatin’ the Beat: CP Style

So here is The Situation. If you don’t know The Situation, we are about to tell you The Situation. Cuz that’s The Situation.

Though Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino of the hit reality series The Jersey Shore may be off gallivanting the country showing the ladies his trademark abs and hosting hot tub parties (We’re making a reasonable assumption), another cast member also near and dear to our hearts could be more close by.

The one and only DJ Pauly “D” DelVecchio, a.k.a. Pauly D is coming to — and spinning at — The Thirsty Turtle March 1st, according to a Facebook event.

Jersey Shore star Pauly D is coming to Turtle.

So, Jersey Shore fans, get out your favorite Ed Hardy shirt, find some gravity-defying hair gel, spray on your fake tan and get ready for the shameless reality show star to spin some sweet beats and pump some fists at Turtle next month.

What should you expect? More tan, less clothes and even less dignity. Maybe not a recipe for success, but certainly for an awesome night. From the mouth of Pauly D himself :

We’re beatin’-up-the-beat, that’s what we say when we’re doing our fist pump. First, we start off by banging the ground, we’re banging it as the beat builds ‘cause that beat’s hittin’ us so we’re fightin’ back, it’s like we beat up that beat.

The show about eight very tan, very single self-identified guidos and guidettes (only one is actually from New Jersey) who spend a summer living in Seaside Heights, a Jersey Shore town, has literally become a pop culture sensation. The crew has made the late-night talk show rounds and inspired countless spoofs and paraodies that are sweeping the Internet.

And cast members have apparently been raking in the dough. According to CNN Interational, the cast appears on behalf of MTV, but are also keeping busy making individual appearances. The article says that Pauly D and Sorrentino have reportedly been paid $10,000 individually to appear at events.

And that’s not all. Jenni “JWoww” Farley has apparently been selling some of her signature clothing off of her website so quickly, that she has not been able to keep up with demand.

The show has caused its fair share of controversy as well. Italian Americans felt that the show was ruining their ethnic group’s reputation, because The Sopranos and The Godfather movies hadn’t done that already. And domestic violence groups were upset MTV’s plan to air an episode in which Nicole “Snookie” Polizzi was punched in the face by a man at a Seaside Heights bar. But all of it turned out to be a recipe for success with 3.6 million viewers tuning in.

So get ready College Park, because according to Facebook, tickets go on sale some time this week. So buy your tickets, get into your “G.T.L.” (gym, tanning, laundry) routine and be ready for March 1st.

Other things to look forward to in the meantime? The show will officially be getting a second season, though not in New Jersey, a decision that has led to a whirl of speculation as to the crew’s next stop. Check out TV.com’s best predictions. And Snookie may even get her own show similar to Tila Tequila’s Shot of Love in which Snooks would look for the bronzed, muscular man of her guidette dreams.

And for right, right now, enjoy this:
