Pauly D (born Paul DelVechhio on July 5, 1980) is Rhode Island's most well known DJ and is known for keeping a tanning bed in his house. He orders gel by the case and does his hair twice a day--once in the morning and once before hitting the town, spending at least 25 minutes on his 'do'. By the age of 18, Pauly was already a well known DJ in Providence, RI. Before joining Jersey Shore, Pauly joined forces with another local DJ and friend to create VIP-PROV, a club promotions team that worked in all the hottest local nightclubs. For Pauly, cleanliness is next to Godliness, so living with roommates may put a strain on his routine.
Season 1
"Your girl's favorite DJ" Pauly D is introduced as the hair-obsessed, tanning fanatic DJ from Rhode Island. He immediately clicks with Mike and the two form a partnership easy on. The oldest of the crew, Pauly D mixes business with pleasure, never failing to show up for work at the T-shirt shop, but always active on the party scene, whether it be mixing tracks in the DJ booth or playing wingman to Mike while in the hot tub with the ladies. His hook-ups included rejecting Snooki's drunk advances, but spending time in his bed with J-WOWW, making it slightly uncomfortable when her long-time boyfriend comes to visit. Pauly D along with Mike lead the household in hook-ups, bringing home different girls every night, much to the disgust of the girl roommates. But Pauly D is not only an experienced DJ and ladies man, he is a skilled firefighter. After nearly blowing up the propane tank on the barbeque grill, Pauly saves the day by knowing how to use a fire extinguisher.
Mike and Pauly seal their brotherhood when Pauly attempts to take the "grenade" for Mike. The boys view hooking up with women as a battle. And in battle, there are obstacles like grenades. The grenade in this instance was the non-attractive friend of Mike's very attractive date. Pauly does his best to entertain the annoying and restless guest, but fails and throws in the towel, retiring to his bedroom. Unfortunately for Mike, the grenade completely bombed him-interrupting his hot and heavy session with his date. As for Pauly, he can say as a friend that he tried.
As Season 1 wraps, Pauly even gets his first stalker, a girl named Danielle he hooked up with that apparently won't let it go. From following him on the boardwalk to harassing him with strange phone calls, the girl doesn't give up. The quacking duck phone calls forced the roommates to take the phone off the hook for the night, something unheard of before. Although somewhat scared, this game player is accustomed to clingers and eventually is attracted to her crazy personality. Nevertheless, Pauly D. ends the season as he started: single, tan, and hair perfectly intact.
Season 2
Pauly was revved up for season 2. Mike and him had a rode trip to miami, and were once again first to reach and first to choose which beds. Angelina shares a room with them! He gets lots of girls throughout the season and gets slapped by Angelina when she gets drunk. He also was one of the roomates that were trying to stop the brawl of episode 7.
