Just like Jordin Sparks’ now-you-see-them, now-you-don’t bangs, Pauly D’s Great Gatsby look was short-lived. The Jersey Shore star, 32, shocked the world when he posted this dapper, refined look on Twitter Monday under #TheGreatDJGatsby. OK! GALLERY: SEE PHOTOS OF PAULY D, SNOOKI, THE SITUATION, JWOWW, MELISSSA GORGA AND MORE IN THE VALERIE GALLERY By Thursday’s Remix Rocks The Rooftop With SK Energy event, though, he’s back to his signature blowout. “What happened is I watched the movie The Great Gatsby, and I loved it,” he tells me during the event held at Hudson Terrace Rooftop in NYC. ”I loved the hairstyle. In my head, I was like ‘that’d be crazy if I just did that to shock the world.’ So I’m like ‘let me do it, and see what they would say.’” OK! GALLERY: THE JERSEY SHORE CAST SAYS GOODBYE: LOOKING BACK AT FIVE SEASONS OF GYM, TANNING AND LAUNDRY The reaction was unprecedented. “I did it, and everybody went crazy," he says. "That one picture created a lot of noise. Everybody was like ‘oh my God.’ People liked it, but some people missed it. They’re like ‘I miss the blowout’ or I like it. It was like 50/50 up in the air.” OK! GALLERY: WE WOULD FREAK OUT IF BRITNEY SPEARS DATED ANY OF THESE EIGHT PEOPLE He adds, “I only did it as a prank, because I’m the prank world champion. [laughs]” Hm, didn’t he like it? “No, I liked it, it was cool, but it’s not me," he  admits. "I like the blowout. It works. I don’t want to get rid of it just yet. I want to keep it for now.” Of course, Pauly is willing to change his look for one thing: “A lot of money!”    With that, he heads up to join partygoers 50 Cent, Real Housewives of New Jersey's Melissa Gorga, Mob Wives star Renee Graziano and more. Fun times! Catch Pauly D spinning at The Pool After Dark at Harrah's Resort Atlantic City this Saturday. It’s my favorite place in the world! Do you prefer Pauly’s blowout or Great Gatsby look?

Paramount and Skydance are now planning to begin shooting the latest installment of that franchise before year’s end. Warner Bros has a script they like, and a top director who’s expecting to direct U.N.C.L.E. in the fall. The timing proved too difficult and so Cruise stepped out to focus on M:I5. Warner Bros will now go hard looking for the lead of this movie, which is inspired by the original TV series ran from 1964-68, with Robert Vaughan and David McCallum playing Napoleon Solo and Illya Kuryakin, two agents of the United Network Command for Law Enforcement. With gadgets and their wits and charm, they fought the evil forces of Thrush. Hammer, who’ll be seen shortly alongside Johnny Depp in the Gore Verbinski-directed The Lone Ranger, is still firmly in the film.
