Italy season was news to Pauly D

Pauly D says filming begins at the end of April for the "Jersey Shore" season in Italy.

Producers haven't shared with him any possible plans of a Vegas season.

But producers don't tell him much.

"Even Italy -- we found out when everybody else found out. I found out when the whole world found out!" Pauly says.

"I'd love to bring the show here," he tells me. "Vegas conquers all."

Pauly D did film in Vegas for an MTV reality-show pilot, still in development, focusing on him.

He claims the most debauched things he's seen here took place during filming. He won't spill details.

"It's gonna be huge," he says.

Several Pauly fans asked me to play the ever-popular game with him: "Marry, Sex, Kill" -- which of those three actions would Pauly D take with Sammi, Snooki and JWoww.

He doubled over in laughter.

"They're like my sisters now, so I definitely wouldn't marry them, I would definitely want to kill them -- I think we (choose) the other one" (sex).

Another quiz: If Pauly D had to tell a woman to "marry-sex-kill" the other guys, what would he recommend?

"Marry Ronnie! So he gets away from Sam!" he says.

Last week on the "Shore," Sammi and Ronnie had another nasty blowout.

NEW KIDDING ON THE BLOCK

Joey McIntyre and stage partner Emanuel Kiriakou sold out two weekends in a row at the Palms Lounge.

So they've added two new dates: March 5 and March 12.

And they hope to return this fall, in between McIntyre's touring with New Kids on the Block, on the road with Backstreet Boys.

McIntyre tells me he wishes to "earn my stripes" at the Lounge, maybe settling into contracted residency here.

At Saturday's show, they sounded great and loose. Of more than 200 people in the crowd, about seven were men. The rest: wild, cheering women.

"The highlight IS the girls," Eman says. "I never get tired of the screaming girls. Never, never, never, never."

Me to Eman: "Shhh, you're married."

"My wife wouldn't care. She loves it too," he says, smiling large.

Sports Illustrated swimsuit models pose for photos with all comers noon-2 p.m. Wednesday at STK restaurant and 3 p.m. at Monte Carlo's Diablo's Cantina.
