Popping culture: The Situation? No homo

In a recent interview with the Huffington Post, Jersey Shore stars Snooki and JWoww* divulged their feelings about Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino. Namely, that they think he’s a closet case:

What about Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino? What’s the deal? Gay? Not gay?

Snooki: Do you think he’s gay?

It wouldn’t shock me. Whenever he brings a girl home, something always seems to go awry and they don’t end up hooking up.

Snooki: And he gives them men’s clothing to wear.

JWoww: And his posture and the way he holds his cigarettes . . . everything. Listen, I know I keep talking about my best friend Joey, but his husband was closeted for 27 years of his life. And I knew him before he came out. So because of that I know . . . the signs.

Snooki: Did you know the whole time that he was gay?

JWoww: Yeah! And it drove me nuts! I’m like, “Be happy with yourself!”

Actually, it should be Vinnie up there with Pauly D, not Mike.

Sorrentino felt the need to defend himself against the rumours. At least, that’s what HuffPo and Gawker say.

All of this makes me think of a few things:

1) Methinks my lady doth protest too much.

2) The show is losing viewers. Desperate times call for desperate measures.

3) Snook and J are looking for a new audience for their upcoming spinoff.

4) Leave him alone. Please. I don’t want to read about anything Jersey Shore-related anymore. (Unless it’s Ellen making the cast fall down a hole in hell.)

*On a side note, I noticed that my gym sells Jwoww branded tanning lotion. This is why we as North Americans can’t have nice things.
