It feels like yesterday that the vapid people from Jersey Shore were showing up on our television screens for the first time. Now the stars of the MTV reality show have reunited again for some more good old GTL.
The cast of the much-imitated show have reunited in Miami, Florida for a new reunion series, Jersey Shore: Family Vacation, and rest assured that they're already getting the drinks in.
This isn't the first time the Jersey Shore housemates have reunited - they did so last summer for E! show Jersey Shore: Reunion Road Trip - but they all look delighted to see each other nevertheless.
Snaps of the reunion show Deena Nicole Cortese, Paul 'Pauly D' Delvecchio, Jenni 'JWoww' Farley, Ronnie Ortiz-Magro, and Nicole 'Snooki' Polizz toasting to the mad few days they're no doubt about to have.

If you're wondering whether Vinny Guadagnino is, he's apparently present in Miami too but wasn't captured in these shots. Maybe he was in the bathroom or something.
As you'll no doubt be able to see from the above, not all of the most recent cast of the show were able to be there to lift their glasses.
One of those was Sammi 'Sweetheart Giancola' who decided to pass on the reunion to avoid clashing with her ex Ronnie after the pair broke up for what feels like the bazillionth time. Maybe they should get the hint and leave it for good this time.

The most notable absentee, though, is Mike 'The Situation' Sorrentino. He was actually meant to be at the reunion but is missing because he had criminal charges to face. Yeah, I'd say that's a pretty good reason.
The Situation who appeared on all six seasons of the MTV reality show between 2009 and 2012 - was in court in New Jersey yesterday facing charges of tax avoidance.
He and his brother, Marc, both pleaded guilty to withholding money from the IRS. The pair were originally charged in September 2014 with filing bogus tax returns on nearly $9 million in income.

The seven-count indictment alleged the brothers earned that amount between 2010 and 2012, mostly through two companies they controlled, but that the pair understated the income from their businesses. The Situation was also charged with failing to file taxes for 2011, a year in which he earned nearly $2 million.
Mike's due to be sentenced in April and might be facing up to 15 years in prison so we shouldn't expect to see him on Jersey Shore again any time soon.
Oh well. At least the rest of the cast can enjoy a good drink in the meantime.
