Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi, the diminutive mascot of MTV’s money-minting hit series Jersey Shore, has officially confirmed rumors that she is pregnant and engaged to the baby’s father, Jionni “Jionni” LaValle. The star tells US Weekly that she found out in early January, at which point she resolved that her partying days were behind her. “No more peeing on porches,” she tells Us. “Those days are over.”

Now, let’s set aside any question about Snooki and Jionni’s readiness to have a baby. (Sure, the father is still in college. Sure, the mother has spent the majority of the last two years living in a vomit-orgy fishbowl flashing her pixelized privates to an audience of millions. Sure, two entire seasons of a popular television series focused on the pair’s let’s-call-it-dysfunctional relationship.) Snooki’s impending motherhood and matrimony is an intriguing new wrinkle for the reality starlet and for her network. READ FULL STORY »

Diminutive funny man Kevin Hart was ejected from the NBA’s All-Star Celebrity game, but his antics may have played a role in him being named the game’s Most Valuable Player. Hart’s team was leading by 36 points with just over a minute to go when Hart dropped some profanity when he didn’t get a favorable call. That drew a technical foul, which set him off. He struggled to whip his shirt off and then proceeded to hurl his sneakers across the court, earning him his ejection. While most of the players chuckled, he momentarily threatened to take his shorts off. Before the game, the 5’2″ comic had promised a 40-point explosion, but he settled for eight points and six assists. The fans, who voted for the game’s MVP, overlooked Arne Duncan’s 17-point game and J. Cole’s slam dunk to award Hart the MVP. Watch highlights here.

'Jersey Shore' exclusive clip: Deena vs. the sharks

Tags: , TV

Friends, do you ever have those moments when you feel like you’re lost at sea on a sinking raft, with man-eating sharks lurking in the water? Deena and Snooki can relate. In an exclusive clip from tonight’s Jersey Shore, Team Meatball bravely attempts to cross the ocean in a tiny blow-up raft, only to be overcome by the vicissitudes of ocean life. It’s kind of like Moby Dick, except less preachy. Check out the exclusive clip below: READ FULL STORY »

Gary Oldman searches for the poetry in 'Jersey Shore'

It’s understood that a British accent can class up the most pedestrian of American dreck. As far as we’re concerned, every Brit went to Oxford and has afternoon tea with Colin Firth. But the British lilt was put to the test last night on Jimmy Kimmel, when Oscar-nominee Gary Oldman was tasked with reading an episode summary from the most recent Jersey Shore. Alas, there is no poetry between the words Snooki and urinary tract infection, no matter the graceful delivery and background violins. Still, this is as tasteful as Jersey Shore will ever sound.

The new (and improved?) Snooki: See the 'Jersey Shore' star sans makeup

How much can we ever really know or understand the enigma that is Nicole ‘Snooki‘ Polizzi? She is a best-selling author whose choice in skivvies (or, more often times than not, lack thereof) is something we’ve all unwillingly become all too familiar with and a self-proclaimed meatball whose battle cry sounds not unlike the sirens of the police cars she’s been taken away in, but the Snooks still remains one of life’s great mysteries. (Mostly of the ‘How?!’ ‘Why?!’ variety.)

And just when we thought maybe we had Snooki pegged, the lover of Jionnis and crocadillies and belching on national television surprised fans with a stunning new revelation: She actually looks like a human person. On Wednesday, Snooki tweeted a photo of herself sans makeup and the reality star received a flurry of compliments from the Internet regarding her au naturel beauty look. READ FULL STORY »

'Jersey Shore' exclusive clip: Mike and the Unit vs. Snooki

In his new role as the mad-scientist villain of Jersey Shore, The Situation has been quietly laying the groundwork for a major revelation: He hooked up with Snooki while she was in a relationship, and he has a witness to prove it. Unfortunately for Mike, that witness is a grown man named The Unit. In an exclusive clip from tonight’s episode of Jersey Shore, Mike looks ready to tell Snooki’s boyfriend Jionni everything. “Myself and the Unit are just gonna play a little game I call: ‘Gym, Tan, the Truth Will Set You Free.’” What a fun game!

Snooki, Michele Bachmann top 'Bad Science List'

The Sense About Science (SAS) campaign has named Jersey Shore doctor of grain liquor Snooki and Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann as two of 2011′s worst offenders of Bad Science. Bachmann went on TV to tell a story of a Tampa woman who claimed her daughter had become “mentally retarded” from an HPV vaccine, and Snooki — well, Snooki’s sort of a science experiment gone wrong in so many (and some delightful) ways that I’d like to give her scientific claim its own paragraph. Let it breathe a little, like seamen amidst a gust of sea air.

“I don’t really like the beach. I hate sharks, and the water’s all whale sperm. That’s why the ocean’s salty.”

The untethered inclusion of “I hate sharks” in there is almost poetic. Think about it for a few seconds. NO, I’m just kidding, don’t hurt yourselves. READ FULL STORY »

Someone is suing Snooki for $7 million

No one succeeds in America without suffering through a few lawsuits. It was true for John D. Rockefeller, it was true for Mark Zuckerberg, and now it’s true for the cast of Jersey Shore. This year, the show’s male mascot and demonic supervillain Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino filed suit against Abercrombie and his own flesh and blood. Now, female mascot and real-life cartoon Tasmanian devil Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi is experiencing her own exciting experiment in litigation. In October, Snooki sued licensing company SRG Ventures, arguing that the company didn’t fulfill its obligation to her — or, in legal terms, “they didn’t make her as rich as The Situation” — and attempting to be released from her contract.

Now, as originally reported by the New York Post, SRG has filed a $7 million countersuit against Snooki, claiming that the reality star was negotiating with other companies behind its back. READ FULL STORY »

Best of 2011 (or is that Worst?): The year in reality TV meltdowns

No reality TV show can really call itself worthy of the name without at least one tear-streaked, red-faced, expletive-laden meltdown — the more out of left field, the better. And 2011 was chockablock with them, from Snooki on Jersey Shore to Taylor Armstrong on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, from Meat Loaf on Celebrity Apprentice to Maksim Chmerkovskiy on Dancing With the Stars. Let us count the ways:  READ FULL STORY »

Fall TV post-mort: What are you still watching? DVR'ing?

New-Girl

Let’s think back for a moment to the start of the fall TV season when we were giddy with hope and optimism about all the new (Hart of DixieNew Girl! The X Factor!) and old (Modern Family! Glee! Fringe!) shows we’d watch in the months ahead. Back then I posted a series of blog posts outlining what I planned to view live versus DVR every night of the week. At the time, I really did have every intention of sticking to my schedule, but naturally as the weeks wore on and plotlines developed my interests began to waver, for better and for worse. I’m sure you know what I mean, unless you’re one of those people who actually follows through with your goals, in which case we can’t be friends. Nevertheless, now that we’re in the midst of the dreaded hiatus period, I figured it would be a good time to reflect on where we started off this season and where we ended up. Check out my day-by-day post-mort below, beginning with all the shows I so naively intended to watch: READ FULL STORY »
