“Jersey Shore” star Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino has parlayed his distinctive Seaside style into an endorsement deal, reports MTV.

Abercrombie & Fitch may not want Sitch in their duds, but FLOW Formal Wear is reportedly paying the reality star six figures to model their wares.

"They approached me because I'm a trendsetter,” Mike modestly explained to In Touch of the line, simply called The Situation. “DTF has a new meaning: Down to Formal! I'm really excited to show a classier, more sophisticated side of myself.”

Snoop Dogg is keeping the "actor" part of his multi-hyphenate career alive with another TV project. According to Deadline, Snoop has sold a family comedy pitch to NBC.

The half-hour sitcom is about a father (Snoop, naturally) parenting his wayward brood. The rapper would also produce the multi-cam comedy.

Seriously, what is it going to take?

Ed O'Neill delivered another Emmy-worthy (and needless to say, MVP worthy) performance on Wednesday night's episode of "Modern Family."
