For all the partying they do, it's hard to believe the stars of MTV's "Jersey Shore" have time to compose a thought, let alone a book. The latest comes from Jenni Farley, whose "The Rules According to JWoww" (William Morrow, $20) went on sale Tuesday.
Like her reality-TV roommates Mike (the Situation) Sorrentino and Nicole (Snooki) Polizzi, Farley did get a literary assist from a writer. (Her wing woman was Sheryl Berk, who collaborated with Britney Spears on her autobiography.) But the dating advice is all JWoww, as Farley is best known.
She credits much of her worldly knowledge to the years she's spent on Long Island, where she moved from upstate New York in 2006 "ready to take over the scene," she writes. She spoke last week about some of the most salient of the 60 rules in the book.
Q What's a date killer?
A Airing your dirty laundry the first night. I'm 25. Let's say you're 30, and I'm on a date with you, and you tell me you still live with your parents and have no ambition to move out or you're in between jobs.
Q What's the best pickup line you've ever heard?
A "Would you like a drink?" or "Hi, what's your name?"
Q Is it a good idea to get intimate on the first date?
