Finally: 'Jersey Shore' for the Del Boca Vista Set

Just bringing you folks back to earth after the Spanish flight attendants post, here we have a woman who bears an eerie resemblance to Helen Thomas and the thought of her frolicking in a hot tub reminds us that indeed, today's is April Fool's Day. But since this report comes from a respected mainstream publication that employs jocksniffers as political analysts, who are we to think this story is a fake?

Move over, Snooki!

The big-haired party girl faces stiff competition from New York old-timer Gail Leibowitz - star of a naughty new series featuring Viagra-fueled seniors frolicking in hot tubs and talking about sex toys.

The petite senior, whose bright red bouffant hair style gives Snooki's trademark pouf a run for its money, grabs the spotlight in a new show called "Sunset Daze," a sort of geriatric "Jersey Shore."

Filmmakers follow the former cabaret singer and her fun-loving friends as they spend their twilight years at a giant retirement community called Sun City in Arizona.

Viewers can expect steamy scenes in Jacuzzis, a wild night out at a gay rodeo and makeout sessions during happy hour.

An ex-nun boasts about her libido as her pals guzzle buckets of champagne on blind dates.

At one point, a saucy singleton dishes on her favorite sex toy. She calls it Bob, for "Battery Operated Boyfriend."

"It's all very exciting because I love being in front of the cameras," Leibowitz says.

"People think that old folks sit around all day, talking about their operations, but that's not true at all" says Leibowitz, a former off-Broadway actress and singer who once sang at a New York strip club.

"Age 80 is the new 70, and 70 is the new 60. We are here having the time of our lives!"

The divorced mom of one from Brooklyn, who gives her age as "70-plus," moved to the retirement complex six years ago.

While she has never watched MTV's "Jersey Shore," she craves the attention generated by controversial characters like Snooki and The Situation.

"I would love to be chased by the paparazzi," she says. "I don't think there is a downside to fame. I don't care if I'm in the National Enquirer, as long as they spell my name correctly!

Unlike much of the younger generation of reality-TV stars, Leibowitz draws the line at baring all.

"I'm ready for photo shoots, Hollywood - anything apart from taking my clothes off," she says. "When you get to my age, it's better to stay covered up."
