Despite the cast being pulled in a myriad of directions (“The Pauly D Project” and “Snooki and JWOWW vs. the World,” to name two spin-off shows), apparently all of the cast members have time for the OG — that’s “Original Guido” — “Jersey Shore.”

It was announced yesterday that production for the sixth season of the show is set to begin this summer in Seaside Heights, N.J.

“America’s favorite housemates will all return to their home-away-from-home, and the house dynamic is headed into unchartered territory … as their lives outside the ‘Shore’ take off in exciting new directions,” MTV said in a press release. “While things will definitely be a little different this time when they hit the boardwalk, their trademark hilarity and family dysfunction will remain the same.”

A sixth season? Talk about beating a dead meatball, MTV. But I’m sure they’ll still get the audience, if only rubberneckers who are tuning in to see what kind of maternity swimsuit the knocked-up Snooki is going to wear.

Brown is engaged to her ‘brother’

A little more than a month since her mom, Whitney Houston, passed away, Bobbi Kristina Brown is reportedly engaged to Nick Gordon, the man raised as a son by Houston, according to People magazine. “Yes, they are engaged, but the family is trying to coax her away from it,” a source says, while a second source confirms that “Nick asked Krissi about a week ago to marry him.” Brown has been spotted sporting a diamond ring that is thought to have been Whitney’s.

Ah, being engaged to her “brother.” I think we can all agree that this is going to end very well for everyone involved..
