‘Jersey Shore’s’ Deena Cortese loses 15 pounds, poses in ‘Baywatch’ swimsuit

Pamela Anderson had better watch her back, “Jersey Shore” star Deena Cortese is moving in on her territory.

Cortese, who is famous for her boozy behavior on the show and in real life, dons one of the iconic “Baywatch” swimsuits in the new issue of In Touch, on newsstands now, after she dropped two dress sizes.

“I loved ‘Baywatch’ when I was younger,” Cortese tells the magazine. “I always wished I was [Pamela Anderson]. I’m the guidette Pamela Anderson.”

She admits that the way people reacted to her weight hurt, “If you’re a little heavy, online bullies will treat you like crap. It’s sad. And it really hurts.”

After watching her diet and regular workouts, Deena says she has dropped from a size 8 dress to a 4.

“I’m happy with myself, and that’s the only thing that really matters,” she says.

Cortese was arrested in June after a boozing session at a restaurant in Seaside Heights. During the June 10 incident, the 25-year-old Cortese partied too hard at the Spicy Cantina & Mexican Grille. She was banned from the restaurant for two years.
