HOBOKEN —E! on-line just posted a story about Buddy Valastro, Hoboken’s Cake Boss, and his opinions on the Jersey-based reality show “Jersey Shore.”
More interestingly, the story notes that Valastro is becoming a hot Hollywood baker, and recently did a cake for Rhianna’s record release party in New York City and Miley Cyrus’s “’80s-themed birthday bash.”
’80s-themed? Oh yeah, because that’s when she was born!
From the story:
The master baker tells me he’s not put off by [the “Jersey Shore”] antics or what critics say promotes negative stereotypes. “Being Italian-American, I’m not like, ‘Oh, my god. I’m so offended by it,” Valastro says. “It’s taken out of context.”
“I was on the Jersey Shore,” he says. “My buddies and I had a house in Seaside Heights. We lived there for the summer. So I know what that scene is like and I understand it. Is the show probably dramatized and over-the-top? Of course it is. It’s TV.”
Unlike fellow TLC stars Jon and Kate Gosselin, Valastro says he doesn’t want his personal life to ever be the center of attention on Cake Boss… “But I don’t have anything to hide,” he continues. “My wife knows me and we are in love…She trusts me and that’s kind of what it comes down to.”
So we guess we won’t see Buddy sporting an earring in each ear and some Ed Hardy on his chest any time soon.
