Get ready for a second season packed with house music, fist-pumping, trash bags, fighting with strangers on the boardwalk, and hilarious Jersey Shore quotes.

MTV’s only newest hit show is coming back for Season 2!

The network, which had been engaged in some heated negotiations with the Jersey Shore cast, will run it back this summer with all the original stars on hand.

We can’t wait for a new dose of DJ Pauly D, The Situation, Snooki, J-WOWW, Sammi, Ronnie and Vinny, although it looks like they’ll be in a different setting.

That’s right, Seaside Heights lucked out. The gang will “escape the cold Northeast and find themselves in a new destination,” MTV said in a Friday statement.

Warm weather locales, consider yourself forewarned.

FIST-PUMP! All seven of these guidos and guidettes will be back on MTV.

MTV continued: “Our audience fell in love with Jersey Shore and its amazing cast who have really grown together as a family. That bond gives the show its heart.”

“We’re thrilled to reunite these friends to bring fans what they love - laughs, love, drama and of course, GTL,” the network’s president said in the announcement.

That would be gym, tanning and laundry - the daily routine of The Situation.

In case you didn’t get your fix throughout December/January, MTV will broadcast the Jersey Bowl, a February 7 marathon of Season 1, on Super Bowl Sunday.

The investigation into the death of Brittany Murphy has taken an unexpected turn as the L.A. County Coroner’s Office tries to fill in key gaps in her medical history.

The actress, who died December 20 at the age of 32, was suffering from severe anemia and other conditions and was under a physician’s care, according to TMZ.

The Coroner’s Office received medical files from Murphy’s doctor, but they show her last visit was months before her death. But someone else was treating her.

The pathologist assigned to the case has been told by Brittany Murphy’s friends and family members that other doctors treated Murphy during her final months.

Officials believe these other doctors could help determine her medical condition leading up to her death, and shed light on what, if any, medications she was on.

Brittany Murphy (1977-2009) with husband Simon Monjack.

The toxicology report is not completed, but when it is, the coroner will determine if the medications in Murphy’s system were prescribed to her or someone else.

Investigators found numerous medications in Murphy’s home after her death.

The mystery comes because those medications were prescribed to Murphy, her husband Simon Monjack, her mom Sharon, and “unidentified third party names.”

Monjack has said, in several of his many interviews since Murphy’s death, that the meds were his. But it doesn’t appear to be case, at least not exclusively.

Dude’s also suing Warner Brothers for wrongful her death. What a nut job.

In any case, the Coroner’s Office is not expected to release the official cause of Brittany’s death for weeks, with these various loose ends needing to be tied.

It looks like Maddox Jolie-Pitt has something in common with… millions of other penis-based human beings.

The eight-year old son of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie has developed feelings for Kim Kardashian, as he attended last week’s New Orleans Saints game with his father and was more interested in shots of Kim on the big screen than he was in shots on Brett Favre by defensive ends.

It sounds like Maddox wants to defend Kim’s end, if you know what sources mean!

That’s now how I suck on lollipops, daddy…

“He has a huge crush on Kim,” a family insider told OK! Weekly. “He thinks she is the most beautiful girl he’s ever seen. Well, he used the words ‘hottest girl’ to be exact.”

That’s saying a lot for a guy that has likely seen Angelina Jolie in her underwear. It’s also saying a lot of likely BS from a magazine that claims Pitt has reunited with ex-wife Jennifer Aniston.

Still, friends claim Kardashian is flattered by Maddox’s affection. This is just what the Saints don’t need: a reason for Reggue Bush to be distracted in the week leading up to the Super Bowl.
