Update: I hear that Ronnie never showed up ... hmm .. was anyone there?


Fans of "Jersey Shore," get ready -- the brawny Ronnie Magro is in da house.

Or he will be Saturday, according to management at the Mare nightclub at 17 Maple Ave.

Magro, a 23-year-old Bronx native of reality TV fame, has agreed to host a "grand opening" event Saturday at the club. The party starts at 8 p.m. on the patio. Ages 21 and older are welcome.

"Jersey Shore," which is gearing up for its second season on MTV, is a documentary-style soap opera that follows the drama-filled lives of a group of Italian-Americans (a.k.a. guidos and guidettes) living on a beach house in Seaside Heights.

According to the show’s Web site, Magro is "a lover who just wants to have a good time."

So I'm guessing the superfluous muscle mass is just a façade for his cuddly bear nature?

Call Mare at 583-6955 or look up Mare Nightclub on Facebook for more information.
