Badda Bing!  Badda Boom!

Jersey Shore star, Ronnie Ortiz-Magro, who dealt a series of knockout blows to a fellow Jersey Guido during the hit reality show’s first season, will not be facing any jail time.  In lieu of serving hard time, Ortiz-Magro has agreed to a pretrial intervention program that will allow him to keep his criminal record clean – at least for the time being.

The 25-year-old appeared in New Jersey Superior Court in Toms River yesterday, where he signed a deal to attend the program for 18 months.  18 months?  This kid can’t even sit in the same room with his girlfriend for 18 minutes without exploding – how is he going to last a year and a half in an intervention program?

Maybe Judge Stephanie Wauters went easy on Ronnie because got into fisticuffs defending Snooki’s honor; or maybe it was because she wants the chance to get to see Ron-O and Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino kick the crap out of each other one more time.

I’m thinking it’s the latter.
