DJ Pauly D

Guidos and guidettes, get ready to beat up the beat: Jersey Shore reality television star Pauly D is in the DJ booth tonight. His appearance is sure to elicit as many groans as it does squeals, but even the haters have got to admit that of all the cast members on the addictive trainwreck of a show, Pauly D is the most tolerable. Sure, he spends an obscene amount of time on GTL (gym, tan, laundry), even fessing up to owning a tanning bed in his home. But he also does an admirable job avoiding the drama his often belligerently drunk housemates get into, focusing on scoring gigs at clubs rather than getting kicked out of them. And lastly, in defense of Pauly, the guy isn’t even from Jersey. He’s from Rhode Island. And he’s sort of cute. With DJ Mayhem. ERIKA HOBART
