New Jersey Governor Chris Christie is still complaining about the Jersey Shore cast giving his state a bad name—at a recent town hall meeting he declared, "we don't want them," and he allegedly plans to ask New York Governor Andrew Cuomo to reclaim the reality stars. But the show was never a New York thing, and cast members come from Rhode Island, New York and New Jersey.
When Christie brought this up to Paterson last year, the former Governor told him it was probably New Jersey that was making the cast so... what's the word for it? Anyway, this is a problem for Italy now.
Following the fourth season being filmed overseas, Christie may get his wish after all—Snooki and JWoww may have just found their new spin-off show crash pad in East Setauket, New York. But doesn't it look a little too quaint for those two?
