Best of the Week: Horsemaning in Jersey with Georgie and Ernie!
Basher of the Week: Georgina Wilson
MANILA, Philippines - We’re not sure exactly where Paris Hilton lost her two iPhones, but we’re certain Georgina Wilson didn’t take them. The pretty model was obviously irked by the idea of Paris Hilton paying a courtesy call to P-Noy. Georgina tweeted that it was “so shameful that he doesn’t have better things to do,” referring to P-Noy’s meeting with the international star.

Situation of the Week: Abercrombie & Fitch v. Jersey Shore
This week, after 50 Cent’s taste got questioned when he signed DJ Pauly D for a three-album deal to his label, news about American retailer Abercrombie & Fitch expressing its hesitation to have its brand associated with Jersey Shore spread like wildfire. The company stated that it is willing to offer a “substantial payment” so that Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino and other members of the cast will stop wearing the brand. A reply from MTV producers is yet to reach the A&F shoreline, but several jokes have been made about the situation. The best one? “The Fitchuation” shirt!
