    'Jersey Shore' cast not angry with NJ city's snub

    HOBOKEN, N.J. (AP) — The women of MTV's "Jersey Shore" say they're not angry that Hoboken officials won't allow a spinoff of the reality show to be filmed in the city of Frank Sinatra's birth.

    But Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi and Jenni "JWoww" Farley tell The Associated Press the city would have benefited from the proposed show. They say officials likely based their decision on "stereotypes" about the show and its cast.

    "The thing is we don't go to a town to damage it. ... We go to a town to help it out," Farley said Wednesday. "We wanted to help out Hoboken, we wanted to give them more revenue, we wanted to give (to) their stores."

    Mayor Dawn Zimmer says the local Film Commission's decision was based on safety and quality of life concerns for residents of the city along the Hudson River. Hoboken officials say 495 Productions was seeking a 24-hour filming permit to follow two "well-known reality television celebrities" who would live in the city.

    The production company, which has filmed "Jersey Shore" in Seaside Heights, Miami and Italy, can appeal the decision to the city council.

    Farley and Polizzi questioned Zimmer's role in the film commission's decision and said she eventually would "regret" not having the spinoff filmed in her town.

    "I wish she would have met us first and maybe talked about what the show was gonna be about before just being like 'You're not allowed in Hoboken.' I think that's really rude, to be honest," Polizzi said. "She was 24 once, she's from Jersey, she was at the shore and she was doing the same exact thing we're doing. She just wasn't taped."

      Dear Snooki, even though it may be comforting to think that the mayor of Hoboken was once throwing up on the boardwalk, falling down drunk, trying to mate with anything that moved, and generally doing anything possible to debase inherent human dignity; it doesn't mean it actually happened.

        Also, it's not like every girl from New Jersey does that. I don't. I believe I'm in the majority.

        NO JAY- you are a minority if you aren't screwing everything that moves, fighting other Jersey trash girls because they looked at you the wrong way, or throwing up and/or urinating on yourself, ect.Do you really think you are in the MAJORITY considering the reputation NEW JERSEY HAS? You can't be that dumb, but then again you are from Jersey. No offense intended, but Jerseys reputation is just factual information.

      im confused.. they say they wanted to help out but yet they are extremely trashy and are very loud and obnoxious so how does it help the town by showing their private areas and cursing and getting horribly drunk?

        Makes the scene known and makes the younger public want to go. Same reason them being at the shore promoted the Jersey Shore to top 5 America vacation spots. Fact.

      The cast should have there next location set in Mogadishu, Somalia. That would be excellent television.

      I'm from jersey and spent time at the shore and I still know alot of people there and I promise you THEY DID NOT AND DO NOT ACT like them.
      Being from jersey doesn't mean your trashy.
