Situation: ‘Jersey Shore 2’ is best series ever

Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino is confident that “Jersey Shore’s” second season won’t disappoint fans of the hit MTV reality show.

“Season 1 was the best reality show in history,” he told the Chicago Tribune. “Season 2 may be the best series ever. It’s going to be legendary.”

And The Situation, whose catchphrases helped make the MTV show a household name, said he’s not preparing any material in advance for the upcoming season.

“I don’t save material,” he said. “That’s called being on the spot.”

As for what the future holds for the cast, he wasn’t sure if Ronnie Magro and Sammi “Sweetheart” Giancola were still dating.

“I think they broke up — I have no clue,” he said.

According to a previous report from TMZ, the volatile couple split after the taping of the series’ reunion show on January 21, but just days later, co-star Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi told Us Weekly that the pair had gotten back together. “You never know with them,” Snooki said at the time.

But The Situation told the Tribune that he would be front and center when the show returned no matter what’s going on with his castmates.

“I run that house,” he said. “[Ronnie and Sammi] are the cartoon section. I’m the front page.”

Avatar: 'Avatar' leads Oscar discussions online

Hollywood-With the Academy Awards just days away, fans online are increasingly discussing the nominees for best picture, a category that has expanded to include 10 films this year, along with the actors and actresses nominated in a lead role, according to analysis undertaken by The Nielsen Company using Nielsen Online BuzzMetrics.

Mirroring its global box office success, Avatar dominates online discussion of films in the movie category, grabbing more than a quarter of all buzz globally surrounding the 10 Oscar-nominated films.

In India too Avatar is the most discussed movie online and has a majority share of buzz, followed by Up in the Air which is the second most discussed movie in India.

"It is not surprising to see discussions revolve around the movie Avatar so much, as it was one of the most awaited movies of the year 2009 and the fact that it came from the James Cameron stable, who had previously wowed everyone with Titanic, the wait was only justified. On the other hand following AR Rahman's double Oscars for his music in the film Slumdog Millionaire last year, the buzz online in India is quite palpable," said Karthik Nagarajan, Associate Director - Nielsen Online, The Nielsen Company.

In the main acting categories, Golden Globe winners Jeff Bridges (for Crazy Heart) and Sandra Bullock (for The Blind Side) take the global buzz lead against their competition, with each capturing more than a quarter of buzz globally.
