Familiar backgrounds don't mean jack to New Jersey Governor Chris Christie and Snooki.
The Garden State icons met -- on camera -- and to say the pint-sized 'Jersey Shore' starlet wasn't a fan of the portly, possibly presidential hopeful is an understatement.
Because celebrities love nothing more than a good cause they can say they helped out with, a whole lot of them stepped out for Wednesday night's 12-12-12 concert at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
But let's not forget: It was totes about the Hurricane Sandy victims!
For years we turned to MTV to watch the cast members of ‘Jersey Shore’ get tanked and destroy the businesses, beachside, and rental properties of the New Jersey coastline. Now that Hurricane Sandy schooled them on how it’s really done, the network wants to help put it all back together again for future generations to destroy.
Starting at 11 p.m. (Eastern) on Thursday night, MTV's 'Restore the Shore' will feature “some of entertainment’s biggest stars” helping to raise money for the Seaside Heights rebuilding effort.
Those humanitarians on the cast of the 'Jersey Shore' are known for saving the world one drunk and disorderly at a time, but when Hurricane Sandy struck and destroyed much of the East Coast -- including their beloved Seaside Heights -- the gang put aside their GTL routine to actually do something philanthropic.
(They'll know what that means once they look it up.)
If you could assemble the perfect concert, chances are good it would include Sting, Christina Aguilera, Billy Joel, Mary J. Blige and Bruce Springsteen -- and Friday night saw that group and more use their powers for good when they performed on Friday night's Hurricane Sandy special, with all money benefiting the Red Cross.
When they were shooting their rather unreal reality show ‘Jersey Shore’ in Seaside Heights, N.J., the cast never seemed too concerned with the condition of their home-away-from-home. They were always getting stupid drunk and making fools of themselves while making a complete mess of wherever they happened to be.
And even though they seemed like human versions of cyclones themselves, they want to help with the Hurricane Sandy clean-up efforts on the destroyed Jersey shore.
Newark, N.J. major Cory Booker is known for his hands-on approach to politics and his comfort with social media like Twitter. And when those things converged in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, he morphed right into a real live superhero.

Stars will flock to NBC on Friday night to raise money for the victims affected by Hurricane Sandy, which devastated the East Coast this week and left hundreds homeless and millions more without power.
Seaside Heights was as much a part of the cast of 'Jersey Shore' as the drunken, overly-tanned humans who got so much air time. And now that the community has taken a devastating hit at the hands of Hurricane Sandy, the reality show's cast members are issuing eulogies.
