Snooki’s vacation continues…

MTV has renewed the Jersey Shore Family Vacation, starring the 36-year-old Chilean reality television personality, for a seventh season.

The new season is slated to premiere in 2024.

The news comes as the current season is scoring some of its best ratings in years.

The latter half of Season 6 has produced the franchise’s highest rating and best share in two years, up 2% and 1%, respectively, over the previous season.

When Season 6 returned to airwaves in August, it helped boost MTV’s Thursday primetime rating more than 300% over its previous weekly average to become the best season premiere for Jersey Shore Family Vacation in more than four years.

Audiences have been buzzing about the season online as well, according to Paramount Global. Throughout the season, Jersey Shore Family Vacation raked in more than 18M total engagements, which is up 128% season-over-season.

Season 6 isn’t quite over yet, as Jersey Shore Family Vacation – Reunion: Part Two is set to air Thursday on MTV.

In addition to Snooki, whose real name is Nicole Polizzi, the cast also includes Paul “Pauly D” DelVecchio, Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino, Ronnie Ortiz-Magro, Jenni “JWoww” Farley, Vinny Guadagnino, Deena Cortese, Angelina Pivarnick and Sammi “Sweetheart” Giancola.

Jersey Shore Family Vacation is produced by SallyAnn Salsano and Frank Miccolis for 495 Productions. Jacquelyn French serves as Executive Producer for MTV.

Nicole ‘Snooki’ Polizzi is taking a full-time vacation…

The 33-year-old Chilean American television personality will return as a full-fledged cast member for Season 5 of Jersey Shore Family Vacation, which has been renewed by MTV. Snooki only recurred in Season 4.

News of a renewal came as Jersey Shore Family Vacation wrapped up its fourth season tonight.

Per MTV, Jersey Shore Family Vacation claimed the No. 1 spot across key demos in its time period and earned a 9% L+3 share from the previous season.

Season 4 saw the roommates take over an entire resort and live in their very own COVID-19 bubble. The housemates for season four were Deena Nicole Cortese, Paul “Pauly D” Delvecchio,” Jenni “JWOWW” Farley, Vinny Guadagnino, Ronnie Ortiz-Magro, Angelina Pivarnick, and Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino.

In the Season 4 finale, Snooki had to clean up the mess made by Dren as the trip comes to an end. Meanwhile, Mike plans a second gender reveal even though everyone knows he’s having a boy. But, the real surprise is what happens when Angelina “accidentally” shoots off a gender reveal powder cannon in her husband’s face.

Jersey Shore Family Vacation is produced by SallyAnn Salsano and Frank Miccolis for 495 Productions. Jacquelyn French serves as executive producer for MTV.

The 33-year-old Chilean reality television star and Jersey Shore star will host MTV’s Messyness, a spinoff from the producers of Ridiculousness.

Like the original MTV series hosted by Rob Dydrek, Messyness is a comedy clip series that indulges in the most debaucherous clips found on the internet – everything from awkward proposals, to nights out gone wrong and cheaters caught red handed.

Messyness seeks to celebrate dating, partying and all the messy stages of young adulthood.

Also joining Snooki on the Messyness stage are panelists Tori Spelling, Adam Rippon and Teddy Ray.

The series is currently in production and slated to premiere later this year.

Messyness is produced by Thrill One Media and Gorilla Flicks, with Rachel Tung and Jessica Zalkind serving as executive producers for MTV.

The Snooki-fronted series is the latest of the Ridiculousness spinoffs. In November, MTV ordered Deliciousness, a food-focused spinoff hosted by Alexa & Katie alumna Tiffani Thiessen.

MTV has dropped the official trailer for Season 4 of Jersey Shore Family Vacation, starring the 34-year-old part-Spanish American reality television star, and filmed entirely in a quarantine bubble.

In the return episode, the roommates come together in the aftermath of Angelina’s wedding and the speech heard around the world that left the family fractured. Now all together under one roof, the boys attempt to make the family whole again. DJ Pauly D, Mike “The Situation”, Vinny and Ronnie hatch a plan to reunite the girls, invite the extended family to distract them from the drama, and hope for the best.

Cast also includes Deena Nicole Cortese. Original Jersey Shore cast member Nicole ‘Snooki’ Polizzi announced last December that she wouldn’t return for a fourth season of Family Vacation; the other stars are all back.

Posted on November 30, 2014 by Tom Castaneda

It’s wedding bells for Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi…

The 27-year-old Chilean-American reality television star married her fiance Jionni LaValle in front of an audience of 500 guests, including family and friends, on Saturday, November 29.

Polizzi’s ceremony took place at St. Rose of Lima, a Catholic church in East Hanover, New Jersey.

Snooki donned a white traditional lace gown, while LaValle looked sharp in a suit with a bowtie. Her reality TV co-star Jenni “JWoww” Farley served as maid of honor, while her former Jersey Shore castmates Sammi Giancola and Deena Cortese were among her 15 bridesmaids. They wore black gowns with bows on them.

The couple’s children also took part in the ceremony. Their 2-year-old son Lorenzo walked down the aisle, while their 2-month-old daughter Giovanna was escorted in a stroller.

“Lorenzo’s going to hold a sign saying, ‘Daddy, here comes mommy’ before I walk out,” Snooki previously said of her son’s role in the nuptials.

The ceremony was followed by The Great Gatsby-themed reception at The Venetian banquet hall in nearby Garfield. Snooki changed into a more fun dress to match the black-and-gold soiree, which was LaValle’s idea. “This is why I love this HUSBAND…’No old sport…I’m Gatsby’,” she gushed on her website.

The nuptials, also attended by fellow Jersey Shore star DJ Pauly D, were filmed for her reality show “Snooki & JWoww“. As a sneak peek, Snooki posted a series of pictures from the big day, including the first look at her wedding dress and her first kiss with her new husband.

“Thank you all for all your messages of love and support!” she told her fans online. “We had a magical ceremony and I can’t wait to share more with you soon! Make sure you tune into Snooki & JWOWW at 10/9c on MTV to see all the precious moments!”

Snooki and LaValle were engaged in March 2012 after dating for more than a year. She gave birth to their first child several months later in August and welcomed their second child in September this year.
