Snooki's best friend joining cast of 'Jersey Shore'

There will be a new house mate next year on MTV’s hit reality-show Jersey Shore.

Snooki’s real-life best friend, Deena Cortese, will join the Jersey Shore cast for the show’s third season.

MTV reports that Cortese is currently down at Seaside Heights shooting with the other cast members.

According to USA Today, Cortese said, "I bring a lot of energy into the house."

Rest assured fans! Following the pre-requisite of any Jersey Shore regular, the 23-year-old said, "I party."

Cortese also describes herself as "class in a glass and party in a body".

Season 2 of the series premiered last week and drew a record number of viewers for MTV.

Ratings went up from the first season premiere episode, which had 1.38 million viewers, according to Nielsen Media Company. Viewership went up, as the season two premiere had an audience of 5.3 million.

The telecast marked MTV’s best season premiere rating in more than seven years (since the season two launch of The Osbournes on 11/26/2002).
