Six things you never knew about Julissa Bermudez!

• What she likes to do in her free time: When I’m not hosting or acting I love retail therapy. But also I love to hang out with my 2-year-old newphew. Kids are the most honest and funniest human beings on this earth.

• On relationships: One thing I’ve learned is to maintain your own sense of ambition and worth — all of the goals you had prior because a lot of the time it’s in our nature as women to cater and start taking away our me time.

• Fashion ‘must have’ right now: A statement shoe! Nicholas Kirkwood for Rodarte shoes are too die for. I always love Louboutons I have plenty of those … and I just got an over the knee pair of Top Shop boots.

• Favorite kind of food: I love Dominican food and since I’m always on the road and a lot of people don’t have it. I either go to Malecon or Monfongo House in Manhattan.

• Her Tivo is filled with: The Jersey Shore and E! Fashion Police.

• She has a huge family! I have three older brothers and endless cousins!

We can’t wait to see her host the second Jersey Shore reunion — we’re sure it’s going to be GTL gooood! — Chloe Melas
