Jersey Shore’s Snooki was taken into police custody in Florence yesterday after she plowed into the back of a police car while filming the third season of the show in Italy. TMZ says:

Snooki was driving when she struck the cop car, but sources connected with the production [say] “Zero alcohol was involved” [and] no one was injured.

Snooki smacked into the back of the patrol car, wedging her ride between the car and a highway protection wall. Deena was in the passenger seat at the time of the crash — and when she tried to exit the car, she had to go through the window because the door was blocked by the wall.

Although Snooki is in custody … it is not a formal arrest.

Hey, you know who’s NOT fat, disgusting, and waddling around Italy in a neck brace? Jessica Lowndes. And as it happens, she’s in this month’s FHM UK. You’re welcome.

The cast of Jersey Shore is going home to the motherland–only they’re not getting the welcome they would have hoped for. I can’t imagine why. Digital Spy says,

The cast of Jersey Shore have been instructed to comply with a series of guidelines while filming in Florence, Italy.

The city’s mayor, Matteo Renzi, has drafted several restrictions that he has ordered the show’s stars and producers to follow in order to ensure that Florence is portrayed positively.

In a list posted in Italian newspaper Corriere Della Sera, Renzi noted that Nicole ‘Snooki’ Polizzi and her friends are not to be filmed being served alcohol in clubs or drinking alcohol in public places so as not to promote Florence as supportive of excessive alcohol intake.

While conceding that he cannot ban the reality show from filming in his city outright, the politician, who was elected in 2009, indicated he will prevent the stars from being granted access to several of Florence’s historic facilities.

Sammi ‘Sweetheart’ Giancola recently expressed doubts as to whether Mike ‘The Situation’ Sorrentino would be able to attract Italian women, asserting that native Italians are “more reserved and more classy” than the women Sorrentino is used to.

Considering that Florence is known to be one of the best party cities in Europe, one more greasy Italian pissing on some ancient landmark isn’t going to be anything new. That’s what you call “patina”. Sounds to me like Mr. Mayor is just trying to earn some cannoli points.

Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi at a press conference for Wrestlemania last month:

I wonder how long the pap who took this picture of Sofia Vergara waited to get this money shot. You know, if they really wanted pictures of a hot chick eating phallic food, they should just drive over to my place. I sit out on my porch and deep throat hot dogs to try to get the mailman’s attention. Weird, he justs tucks his head down and throws the mail at me from the sidewalk. It’s almost like he doesn’t want to see all glorious 280 pounds of me gagging on hot dogs. I just don’t get it.

On the beach in Italy:

Boy, the last time I saw abs like these, it was this morning and I was looking in a mirror. But I can’t go around looking in a mirror all day, now can I? It’s just not practical. And you wouldn’t believe how hard it makes navigating a school zone. That’s why I’m glad that Mila Jovovich decided to show hers off in Italian Maxim. Involuntary manslaughter and vehicular homicide charges can really cramp a girl with rockin abs’ style.
