Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino's court case delayed for reality show taping

A former "Jersey Shore" cast member is delaying a court hearing in his tax fraud case so he can film another reality TV show.

Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino was scheduled to be arraigned on federal conspiracy and tax fraud counts Monday in Newark, New Jersey. But the proceeding was moved to Oct. 23 after Sorrentino's lawyer said his client has to tape another reality show in Los Angeles.

Sorrentino, 32, and his fiancee, Lauren Pesce, are scheduled to appear on "Marriage Boot Camp" -- the WE tv series that films for two weeks ending Oct. 19.

Sorrentino and brother Marc pleaded not guilty at an initial court appearance last week. Prosecutors contend the pair filed false tax returns and overstated business expenses on about $9 million they earned through two businesses.

Both are free on $250,000 bail.

The brothers starred together this summer with their family members on "The Sorrentinos," a reality series which ran on the TV Guide Network chronicling their eccentric brood.

In July, Sorrentino agreed to take anger management classes following a physical dispute with his brother at the family's New Jersey tanning salon.
