Now the Italian-American cast of the surprise hit reality show, which is currently airing in the UK on MTV, has descended on Florida to start filming season two.
Self-styled 'guidettes' Jenni 'JWoww' Farley and Nicole 'Snooki' Polizzi were spotted topping up their tans on Miami Beach yesterday.
Angelina 'Jolie' Pivarnick, who describes herself 'the Kim Kardashian of Staten Island', joined in too despite quitting the first season after only three episodes.
