“Jersey Shore” is heading to South Beach.
Over the objections of locals, the controversial cast of MTV’s latest hit reality series is said to be gearing up to bring their Cheetos tans and fist-bumping guido ‘tude to Miami, reports the Miami Herald.
Shooting on the second season of the series is said to begin next week, which accounts for the immediate need to move taping to a warmer climate. The new season is expected to begin airing in early summer.

The first season of “Jersey Shore” was shot in a beach house in Seaside Heights, NJ. After its December premiere, the show came under fire from Italian-American groups objecting to the stereotypes fulfilled by the badly behaved eight cast members who called themselves “guidos” and “guidettes.”
In response, Seaside Heights made it clear that they “did not solicit, promote or participate in the filming of this show.”
The controversy surrounding the series drew 5 million viewers to the January season finale, making it one of the music network’s most-watched shows in the last five years.
