On Saturday night, Pauly D and “The Situation” made their second appearance in Chicago at Joe’s on Weed St. The majority of Illinois recognizes these guys as D-Bag guidos high off their 15 minutes of fame. However, there is a minority of low-class broads out to get some from the Jersey Shore’s finest.
True fact, devoted/delusional fans dressed in their finest guidette duds and reserved the booth next to VIP in a sad attempt to get in with the guys… this plan did NOT work out on their behalf as they remained on the OTHER side of the red rope all night.
The Boots Girls fortunately made it through the heard of desperate chicks to meet the classy fellows that now rule the East Coast. “The Situation” wanted nothing to do with us. He was busy showing off his “situation” and hitting on a drunk skeeze who embodied all the Jersey Shore had to offer: True Religion, Affliction, a bump it and a class-less attitude. Quality strike Situation… bet she was DTF.
However, Pauly D shockingly surprised us with his down-to-earth mentality and introverted nature. He never lingered with the skanks who tried hitting on him and was willing to chat with us.
Unfortunately, between crazed fans trying to take pics and Pauly’s bodyguards managing his time, we only got a minute to talk. The DJ from Rhode Island was a man of few words but admitted he enjoys his visits to the Windy City and claims if the Jersey Shore movie ever hits theaters he’d like to be played by Vinny from Entourage (Adrian Grenier).
Additionally, we gave Pauly a signal in case any “grenades” tried hitting on him. A tug on the ear and we swooped in for the save. Believe it or not, Pauly had to be saved from several situations. Crazy fans will pretty much try and do anything for a late night canoodle with these guys. Girls who got too crazy even got escorted out of the bar for stealing too much time, and really, losing too much dignity.
Fortunately, the Boots Girls maintained our class and were even complimented by the bodyguards as being some of the few normal girls they’d encountered along their tour.
All in all, hanging with these guys was quite the experience. From their biggest fans to The Situation’s bigger ego the night was truly unforgettable.

Here’s To Harry!
March 2nd, 2010
Harry Caray is one of Chicago’s all time biggest names. From catch phrases like ”Holy cow!” to his successful streamline of restaurants across the city, this man’s existence deserves to be celebrated everyday. Fortunately, on March 1st, 2010, the date that would have marked Harry’s 96th birthday, fans and celebrities across the country gathered to remember the late Harry Caray and salute him in a toast to honor his legacy.
With the grand opening of Harry’s newest restaurant on Navy Pier, events got going as early as 5am! The day’s activities included 96 cent farris wheel rides, a spring training rally, an amazing fireworks display and most impressively, the unveiling of Harry’s Chicago Sports Museum where several influential pieces of Chicago’s sports history are displayed, including Harry’s signature eyeglasses.
As the evening progressed, several celebrities and restaurant investors gathered at the venue to pay their respects and engage in Harry’s toast. The Boots Girls got the pleasure to sit down with former Harry Caray employee and esteemed actor, James Denton, known best for his role on ABC’s Desperate Housewives. James was pleasantly down-to-earth and absolutely charming. We were instantly impressed!
When James was 30-years-old he moved to Chicago to pursue a dream in acting. With unpaid theater gigs in small venues, it was hard for him to maintain financial stability, but he wasn’t willing to give up. As James says now, ”Harry kept me alive.” Harry offered James a job at the Italian Steakhouse on Kinzie where he remained a loyal employee for over three years.
When offered the opportunity to become an investor in the restaurant, James was elated! ”I was real happy they called me!” he exclaimed! ”They could’ve had just about anyone involved because the restaurant is so successful and they were pretty selective with who they let in the group. I was very flattered and happy they chose me because it truly is a full circle story.”
Obviously Harry’s is equally as impressed to have a name like James representing their venue, as he earned his very own display case in the restaurant’s museum. Displayed in glass are signed memorabilia, but most incredibly, forgotten pay checks from back in the day when James was an employee earning less that eighteen dollars a stub.
James admitted, ”I don’t really have the kind of money to be a restaurateur but we scraped it up and found a way to get involved because this place is great. The concept is great.”
Getting outside the realm of baseball, we were able to chat with James about the recent volunteer work he’s been doing, and how he is so motivated to dedicate so much time towards philanthropy.
First off is James’ band Band From TV who within the year, has earned over $3 million! “The band is going great. We donate to over 30 different charities and let’s be honest, it’s a bunch of middle-aged guys pretending to be rock stars. We started out five years ago to play one gig, but just realized it was such a great charity event. The guys are truly great about it.”
Some upcoming gigs include, a Casino at Niagara Falls, and most impressively, ”a tiny gig for a guy whose daughter needs surgery and he can’t afford it. We’ll show up, play a set for however many dozen people show up and he’ll keep the money.” Wow, if that doesn’t melt your heart then we don’t know what will!
Other recent projects where you can catch James are his work with Disney’s “Give a Day. Get a Disney Day Program” where he helps the Muppets build a house, as well as his Orange County minor league baseball team, his endlessly successful work with Desperate Housewives and finally, an upcoming flick called Damaged Goods.
It was truly an honor to meet and chat with a man who has everything going for him, most impressively, a humbled approach to an extravagant lifestyle. Other celebs who graced Harry’s party included Richard Roeper, Harold Ramis, Bobby Hull, and even, Ronnie Woo Woo! Together, the big names, and biggest fans gathered to remember a man whose enthusiasm lives on, by singing his praises in a toast to Harry’s seventh inning stretch solo, ”Take me Out to the Ball Game.”
Even though Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi has a guido juicehead back home, the pint-sized guidette wasn’t afraid to snook for love in Chicago Friday night!
Snooki started off the evening at hotspot Manor, joined by mom Helen, and later hopped on over to late night joint RiNo, where she sent a pal to find guys she could “make out with.” Though a handful of guys were brought to her private booth, Snooks stayed true to her man and did nothing but chat it up with the Chi-Town boys.
Earlier that night, The Boots Girls had the opportunity to interview The Jersey Shore star for RadarOnline.com, and Snooks dished to us about her new boo!
“He’s just like my typical guido juicehead with like a good personality.”
So who’s the lucky dude? Emilio Antonio, and he must have a nice pickle, because girl brought him to the Super Bowl down in Miami!
“I’m really excited to like show the public who he is. He’s a really nice guy. He’s freaking banging. We’re the sexiest couple I have ever seen in my entire life, so I am excited for everybody to see that,” she said of their first public outing together.
Or maybe it’s his rock solid body she’s drooling over! “He’s actually a bodybuilder and he works at the gym,” Snooki told us.
Looks like Snooki got a taste of where she may be beating up the beat this summer! Though MTV has yet to officially confirm a location for season two, Snooks is hoping to head south!
“Next season? I’m hoping it’s gonna be in Miami — or out of state — they say get your passports ready,” she said.
While the cast may be gearing up for season two of The Jersey Shore, don’t rule out any potential break-out shows just yet!
“I know Jenni wants to something in the Hamptons about working at clubs, Mike and Pauly wanna do their own show and I wanna get my own love show, Snookin’ for Love!” Snooki explained.
Unfortunately, Snooki couldn’t get too crazy in the Chi with a parental by her side, but the little nugget didn’t refrain from sipping on Three Olives cherry vodka and smoking a cig with her mom! As usual, Snooki fist pumped the night away, re-applied her bronzer a few times, and even attempted to get her mom to rock the poof!
Before leaving the Windy City, our fave Jersey Shore girl had a few words for Chicago…
“I want you guys to drink all night, get freakin’ wasted, wake up tomorrow and think ‘Oh, what the fuck did I do last night?’ Fucking drink! I love you guys!”
Police cited a Wisconsin man after receiving a noise complaint from his neighbor for “rocking out” to John Denver — can anyone say L-O-L?!
The Fond du Lac 5-0 responded to a noise complaint from a man blasting Denver’s tunes in his apartment, according to ChicagoBreakingNews.com. When the officers arrived at the door, they could hear Denver’s jams rocking at full blast. They banged on the door, and the man didn’t answer.
The officers got the name of the resident from the neighbor and returned to his apartment and called him out by name.
When he finally came to the door the officers asked why he had the music so loud. The resident replied that he was “rocking out.”
The Reporter newspaper in Fond du Lac reports that the 42-year-old was cited for unnecessary loud noise, which could result in a fine of about $210.
The Boots Girls are shaking in our boots because — whether we’re rockin’ Aerosmith Guitar Hero, belting out Pants On The Ground in the lobby of our building with our neighbors or killing Guns N’ Roses at Four Farthings karaoke Thursdays — we’re guilty of “rocking out” almost everyday of our lives! LOL!
We hope the judge does the right thing and rules not guilty! Long live rock n’ roll!!!
According to popular Chicago publications, the Windy City was to expect a Jersey Shore Invasion tonight.
However, over the course of the day, all appearances have been canceled.
Self-proclaimed “guidettes”, Jenni “JWOWW” Farley and Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi were expected to appear at nightclubs RiNo and Manor tonight. According to JWOWW’s Twitter page today though, she’s stuck in LA “in the hotel room with @snooki sick… We r sooo congested.”
CONGESTED?! Bitch. Please… You r sooo going to the Lakers game tonight to sit courtside with your whole “Jersey crew”.
Additionally, Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino and DJ Pauly Delvecchio had a fully sponsored scheduled appearance at Lumen tonight where lucky clubgoers were to receive LA Tan gift bags and Jersey shore blow outs. They too, however, are hittin up the Lakers game instead.
Really, it’s a blessing in disguise. Who in Chicago would ever sport a Jersey Shore blowout?! Sorry kids, but we’ve got class.
To keep their actual whereabouts under wraps though, Pauly D quickly changed his “Lakers game” Twitter status right before canceling with the club… smooth move pal.
But rest assured Chicago fans… JWoww just feels awful for missing out but promises, “I will be back soon!!” Ha… we won’t hold our breath girlfriend.
As of now however, some cast members are scheduled to be back at Joe’s in February. The Boots Girls however, will be at the Bulls game… “sick… and sooo congested too” that weekend.
Sidenote: If you were already planning on hitting up RiNo or Manor tonight, GO! The LGN Group (owners of Manor, RiNo, Stay and The Cedar Hotel) will be donating a portion of your cover to the American Red Cross of Greater Chicago in support of Haiti.
UPDATE: Adam Lambert Undresses The Boots Boys - - Literally!!!
January 13th, 2010
Adam Lambert gave The Boots Boys a cheap thrill last night in Boystown when he stripped us down.
Oh yes he did!!!
The Boots Boys were hot on the American Idol rocker’s trail yesterday on a typical freezing cold January night after he landed in the Windy City for a taping of, what else?, Oprah.
Glambert and a couple of friends had a late-night dinner at Pingpong just before 11 p.m., and then headed straight to Boystown hot spot Roscoe’s.
There the gays went wild for AL, and he played it cool. Lambert worked the room like a politician shaking hands with fans, taking pics with them and was extremely friendly to everyone.
Before heading back to the Sofitel, he stopped to talk to The Boots Boys crazy asses, who were hanging outside of Roscoe’s, in the freezing cold for a chance to meet our fave AI rocker.
“It’s freezing, you guys shouldn’t have to wait out here!” Lambert said. Unfortunately, the underaged BB’s had a little thing called the law from preventing them from waiting inside the bar.
After shaking hands with The Boots Boys, he checked out one BB’s pecks and then proceeded to unzip his coat as they posed for a pic!
Note to Adam: Those THO’s weren’t caused by the cold weather, baby!
Lambert taped Oprah today with Susan Boyle — who shockingly didn’t make it out to Boystown — and is en route to the airport as we type this. Now The Boots Girls are just wondering why the hell we can’t get a hot rocker to take our clothes off for us too!!! Boo…
UPDATE:The Boots Girls just caught up with Lambert at O’Hare International Airport and asked him what he thought of our Boots Boy. His exact words, “He’s so hot!”
The Boots Girls are hung-over as shitttttttt today and are pretty much worthless, so please excuse us for not updating! Blame it on the ah-ah ah-ah ah-al-co-hol!
