After watching Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino completely break down these past two weeks on "Jersey Shore" (fighting Angelina, trying to pull a robbery on Vinny's cougar girl, smacking Snooki in the mouth) as well as on "Dancing with the Stars" (his wooden dancing skills were voted off this week), this latest news about The Plaza's own situation with The Situation has us very concerned.

According to the NY Post, The Situation and The Plaza are in talks to make him the face and partner of a new luxury gym that would open in The Plaza's retail spaces where the old Radu gym used to be. NOMG!

"There will be a very select clientele. Members would need letters of reference, and there will be a high initiation fee. The Situation will be originating a workout program, and he'll occasionally teach abs class himself."

WAIT, IT GETS WORSE:

Our source said, "The deal could also be rolled out to other Fairmont hotels."

Now, we love the "Jersey Shore" people for the endless mindless shock value entertainment they bring but The Situation, who started out as a sort of father figure for the crew, has turned into someone completely unlikeable. C'mon, he can't even wingman for Pauly D properly.

But most importantly, he's quick to call out all types of girls as grenades and zoo animals and in last night's JS, he tried to fight with a guy because he was half his size. Not quite the qualities you look for in a fitness instructor, huh?

And don't get us started on what The Situation will do to The Plaza's history. Yes, we know the center will be in the retail collection down below but really, what would Kay Thompson think? And rolling it out to other Fairmont Hotels? He couldn't start at Aloft first?

Sigh. But we also know it's useless to argue against the power of celebrity these days. Maybe the guys at "South Park" were right--this whole country is becoming New Jersey. Oh well, then. HotelChatter want smush-smush. Wah!
