Pauly D gets first 'Jersey Shore' spinoff show [poll]

Pauly D -- a.k.a. Paul "DJ Pauly D" DelVecchio -- is the first "Jersey Shore" cast member to spin off into his own reality show, MTV announced Wednesday.

Wait, the joys of "Jersey Shore," entering its third season, aren't enough for fans of the self-declared "guido"? Apparently not. MTV programming exec Chris Linn says viewers are "curious about his life away from the shore."

Wait, these folks have a life away from the shore?

"We look forward to exploring new possibilities around that," Linn said.

The show has the working title "Pauly's World," Radar Online reported Thursday -- invoking memories of the short-lived Pauly Shore sitcom "Pauly," in which Shore played the going-nowhere, freeloader son of a wealthy businessman, and the sketch and films "Wayne's World," in which Mike Myers and Dana Carvey play two slackers with a public-access TV show.

Pauly D, in contrast, will be sharing with viewers what it's like to hang out with him, his manager, his buddy and his bodyguard as the 30-year-old Rhode Island DJ hones his skills and works his career, Radar's source said.

At least, we think that's "in contrast"? At any rate, a pilot was shot in September, and the new season of "Jersey Shore" starts Jan. 6 -- for those who can't wait for a fresh Pauly D fix. 

He'll also DJ MTV's New Year's Eve bash, which will feature Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi being stuffed into some sort of ball and dropped at midnight in Times Square.

While I love the Jersey Shore- I do not think enought fans will watch his show. I wish him much success, but when pull him away from the group it's kinda blah! #jussayin

This is the only evidence I need that civilization is in decline. Im glad I dont have children.

WOW- I am shocked at how moronic people have become. Paying attention to a 30+ year old "DJ". Im ashamed to be an american when this is the crap that interests people. If you listen closely enough you can hear our society swirling the toilet bowl. Jersey Shore WTH!!!!!!

[jeez]

Whatever, I actually like Pauly D. He's one of the few cast members on "Jersey Shore" who doesn't take himself that seriously. One of the more likeable characters... glad he's getting his own show.

Manager, Buddy, Bodyguard ... couldn't that all be the same guy? I mean, how much work is it to "manage" Pauly D's career?

[korteney]

i love u a lot Pauly u are awesome

[deb]

A BODYGUARD!!! WHAT!!!! not even AL PACINO had a bodyguard when he was at the top..... entertainment is dead!!! no one out there smart enough to write a good show.... what happened to shows like all in the family, mash, twilight zone, honeymooners.... what happened to music like bee gees, henry mancini, eagles...... the stuff on tv and radio today is a joke...... who would be dumb enough to like this stufff.....

[Angel]

Cool!! I love Pauly D!

[felix r nungaray]

Ok everyone that doesn't like Pauly D or the Shore needs to relax. Its just a show. The guy is a smart man to milk this cash cow. we can't sit her and lie, If we had the fame we would milk it till the tit no long gave milk. i would so why hate on the guy for wanting to make it big. he was given the golden ticket, so why not take it and then some? i know i would!!!
