Do you remember those creatures - err... people who made up the cast of MTV's Jersey Shore? Ever wonder where they are now? Probably not. But just in case you are curious, we have compiled a list that will tell you all about where those eight Guidos are now, and how their current lives differ from what fans might have expected. Reality TV stars often fall into obscurity once their 15 minutes of fame is up, but what is the Jersey Shore cast up to today?
Most of us tuned into Jersey Shore much like we drive past a car accident - we know we shouldn't look, but we just can't help it, and then can't look away. Flooded with drama, hilarious antics, and ridiculous, almost unbelievable hook-ups, the Jersey Shore cast provided America with a raw, somewhat alarming peak into what life as a fist-pumping, club-hopping, Italian is like.
Though we can all agree that Snooki, The Situation, Jwoww, Ronnie, and the other crazy characters were an exaggerated depiction of such a stereotype, it's hard to deny that the drunk, sloppy, and occasionally disgusting events of this reality show didn't provide us with invaluable entertainment. So what has life been like for the cast of Jersey Shore since the show ended? Click through this photo slideshow to find out!

Nicole Polizzi
Snooki could easily be considered the biggest star from Jersey Shore. This real-life version of an "Italian Meatball" was hard to look away from as she continuously got drunk, cried, did cartwheels in clubs (while commando), and essentially begged people to love her.
Mike Sorrentino
Arguably one of the most easy-to-hate characters to grace American reality TV, Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino filled the show with constant drama by pitting roommates against one another and continually disgusting people - both in and out of the house - with his incredibly over-inflated ego.
Jennifer Farley
JWoww scared a lot of people, which was understandable considering her tag-line in the show's opening was "After I have sex with a guy I will rip their head off."
Vinny Guadagnino
Vinny was easy to like on the show because he portrayed a sweet, innocent, "Mama's boy" type.
Jennifer Farley (Now)
In addition to appearing on the spin-off show Snooki & JWoww, Farley got engaged to Roger Mathew in 2012. The two were cast on Marriage Boot Camp: Reality Stars and had a daughter, Meilani. Although her clothing line, Filthy Couture, didn't last very long, she did launch a line of tanning products with Australian Gold.
Nicole Polizzi (Now)
In true MTV fashion, Snooki was granted a spin-off show with her sidekick, JWoww. However, to throw America a real curve-ball, she has actually cleaned up her act considerably. In 2012 she gave birth to her first child, Lorenzo, with Jionni LaValle, the boyfriend she had towards the end of the show. In 2014 she married him, and they welcomed their second child, Giovanna. Snooki also appeared as a contestant on Dancing with the Stars.
Mike Sorrentino (Now)
Surprisingly enough, in 2010 Sorrentino was the second highest paid reality TV star (second to none other than Kim Kardashian), pulling in over $5 million in endorsements from companies like Devotion Vodka and Reebok shoes. In 2011 he appeared on the Comedy Central Roast of Donald Trump and was a contestant on season 11 of Dancing with the Stars.
Not so surprisingly, in 2014 he was arrested for assault at a tanning salon in New Jersey. In the same year, he was charged with tax fraud, avoiding an alleged $8.9 million in taxes. In 2014, his family got a TVGN reality show, The Sorrentinos.
Mike Sorrentino
After watching The Situation make a fool of himself season after season, most of us probably assumed not much would come from his arrogance - aside from an accumulating group of "haters."
Nicole Polizzi
Watching the hilarious train-wreck best known as Snooki, most viewers would probably agree that if obtaining a trademark or patent for "The Poof" hairstyle wasn't in the cards for this Guido, surely some type of spin-off show would be.
Jennifer Farley
During the show, JWoww, although aggressive and unnecessarily obsessed with being tan, was one of the seemingly more down to earth, level-headed cast members. Since it was clear she was very obsessed with clothing, appearances, and her boyfriend Roger, it wouldn't come as much of a surprise if she continued to focus on these things once the show ended.
