MTV OKs Pauly D, Snooki, JWoww spin-offs

Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi, Paul "Pauly D" Delvecchio and Jenni "JWoww" Farley just wrapped "Jersey Shore's" third season, but there's much more wild reality TV in store for the trio.

The breakout stars of MTV's summer smash reality hit have inked a franchise deal with the network for untitled spinoff projects to air in 2012.

Set to begin production later this year, the ladies' spinoff will follow Polizzi and Farley as they navigate their own 12-episode series about life away from the shore. "The locale may be different, but the friendship is sure to remain the same," MTV hints in a statement. Delvecchio's 12-episode series will chronicle his life as an in-demand Rhode Island disc jockey.
