Pauly Shore apparently wants to get in on the fist-bumping goodness that is the Jersey Shore. How so? By doing a TV movie for CMT as a guido looking to hideout in the south. A couple of stills from the film have come out, which you can view below.

Plot Summary: Nicky (Pauly Shore) is the son of New Jersey’s most powerful crime boss. Nicky is supposed to follow in his father’s footsteps, but he’d much rather DJ and mix cocktails at a local club. When Nicky is framed for murder he didn’t commit, he goes on the run to escape the law and ends up in a small Tennessee town where he sticks out like a sore thumb. Nicky brings some Jersey Shore to the Deep South and is treated with Southern Hospitality and is befriended by a cast of characters, including country cougar Trina (Tanya Tucker). At first Nicky is as suspicious of the townspeople’s moonshine as they are of his fake tan, but he soon bonds with the residents to take down Gilly (John Schneider), the town’s corrupt sheriff.
