Scandalized priests? Check. Flying wine bottles? Check. Hospitalizations due to self-inflicted head-butt wounds? We can still feel the Situationu2019s pain. The Jersey Shore crewu2019s invasion of Italy last summer was such an all-out shit show that Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, and several centuriesu2019 worth of popes are still spinning in their graves. But in all that meatball-fueled madness, the magnificent Jenni u201cJWowwu201d Farley emerged as the clanu2019s (wonderfully endowed) conscience. She simmered down Snooki and soothed the Sitch. Now she and the rest of the gang are back at the Jersey Shore, doing what they do best: fist-pumping, GTL-ing, and making the world a crazier, hair-productier place for all.

Youu2019ve been in Maxim three times now, but this is your first cover. How does it feel?
tI cried when I found out. I was jumping up and down and totally bugging out. This is probably my highest accomplishment.

Well, you look incredible.
tThanks! This is the most fun Iu2019ve ever had on a shoot, because it was Jersey Shore meets sexy Maxim. Thatu2019s what I loved about it.
So letu2019s talk about Italy.
tIt was insane. As everyone got to see, it was very dramatic. Iu2019m glad weu2019re going back to the Shore now, because Italy was hard.

You guys were pretty isolated over there. You couldnu2019t escape each other.
tWe definitely had to rely on each other, which made our relationships stronger, but also made us more sick of each other. Temperatures were running high. People were fighting. Heads were hitting walls.
Was that scary?
tYeah. Even rewatching it is pretty intense! Itu2019s very emotional, and I was there and lived it. But weu2019re fine now, and thatu2019s the best thing about us. We watch it together and laugh at what we went through.
What was your favorite part of being in Italy?
tYou could put us anywhere, and weu2019d make a great show. But Italy was an especially amazing place for me, because I was an art history student. And besides the statues, I got to see the streets where, like, da Vinci and Michelangelo lived.

Do you think those guys ever got into fights like Ronnie and the Situation?
tYeah, I bet they would spit on each other and just go at it!
Were the guys in Italy especially aggressive?
tThere were some instances, but most of the time I couldnu2019t understand what they were saying. Iu2019d be like, u201cI donu2019t know what youu2019re talking about. Goodbye!u201d

Was the food very different?
tDay and night. The Italian food out there is organic and fresh and light. They donu2019t even have penne u00e0 la vodka!
What was the tanning situation like over there?
tIt was whack! There was no tanning situation. I opened JWowwu2019s Tanning Salon and was spraying everyone myself just to get by. When we got back to Jersey, we kind of ODu2019d on the tanning. We all burned our asses off pretty bad.
So now that youu2019re back home at the Shore, what kind of drama can we look forward to?
tA lot of the drama that came from Italy has to get finished. So youu2019ll see that.

That sounds like a movie tag line: u201cIt started in Italy. It finished in Jersey.u201d Are you guys working again this season?
tYup, weu2019re back at the T-shirt store and living in the same house. We appreciate it more because Italy was so different. We jumped in headfirst.
You seem to have changed quite a bit over the past couple of seasons. You arenu2019t punching people, youu2019re calmer. In fact, youu2019ve sort of becomeu2014
tThe mom? I feel that way. I was in a bad relationship during the first two seasons, so I took that out on people I shouldnu2019t have. I was definitely more of a bitch.

What was the most important thing to remember back when you did get into fights?
tPull your hair back. You donu2019t want some bitch yanking on your hair.
