Patrcia Krentcil, the NJ mother who puts the "tan" in "tanorexic," is out on $25,000 bail after pleading not guilty to child endangerment—the 44-year-old is accused of taking her 6-year-old daughter tanning at a tanning salon in Nutley, NJ—and she's been busy. Busy buying tanning cream and saying that is Snooki "fake" and "fat," that is. Oh, and flashing photographers. more ›

Reality "star" Nicole Polizzi, aka Snooki, has finally admitted that she's pregnant—apparently she was just waiting for this US Weekly issue to drop. You know you're having a baby for all the right reasons if you make the announcement through an exclusive cover story that a rag probably paid you a lot of money for. And thus begins the saddest baby story ever told. more ›

Snooki, the Jersey Shore muse and published author, is apparently pregnant and now she's apparently engaged, too. People magazine says Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi is getting hitched to boyfriend and the baby's father Jionni LaValle. more ›

Snooki has remained tight-lipped about her rumored pregnancy, but others have no problem with the baby talk. Over in Jersey City—where Snooks is currently filming her new show with J-Woww—a baby store was contacted by producers about shooting on location. Bambi Baby's owner told TMZ that someone from 495 Productions got in touch with them over the past few weeks—around the same time Snooki was talking plenty about the pregnancy rumors, by adamantly denying them. more ›

Snooki is pregnant. Just let that sink in for a moment, and then we, as a people, need to figure out a plan. more ›

So now that Jersey City is welcoming Snooki and J-Woww and their "Jersey Shore" spinoff production crew with open arms, it seems that there will be ground rules. Like having four cops at wherever they will be living. more ›

Hoboken and Jersey City: prepare yourselves for a possible impending aerosol-fueled apocalypse! Yes, that's right, the rumor mill is churning with the news that MTV is scouting possible locations in both cities for a new series following Snooki and J-Woww outside of the Jersey Shore. more ›

It's time for a little pre-holiday "Ladies of the Jersey Shore" roundup, so you'll have something to talk about with your 14-year-old cousin this weekend. First up, Snooki: she's being sued for $7 million by a licensing company that claims she didn't hold up her end of an agreement to pimp out everything from school supplies to lingerie. The suit is technically a counterclaim to the lawsuit Snooki filed in October, in which she claimed the licensing company didn't fulfill their obligation to "secure enough money and develop sufficient branding partnerships." Got that? Good. Just tell your cousin it's important to always follow through if you agree to sell what's left of your spray-tanned soul. more ›

Staten Islanders: prepare yourselves, for Snooki is coming, and she cannot—nay, she will not—be stopped. The pint-sized Cheetoh has apparently found the time to design a sunglass line called, somewhat inexplicably, "Poof Nation," and she'll be at the Staten Island mall this Saturday to promote it. And that's not all! more ›

Anne Hathaway has been making the late night talkshow rounds this week to promote her new movie, One Day (did you see her rapping in the style of Lil' Wayne on Conan?)—but she goes real in-depth in this interview with Chelsea Handler. Some choice quotes: more ›

If you've ever wanted to hear silver fox Anderson Cooper say the words "she aimed her grinding hips straight at salami boy," to the sounds of some bow-chicka-bow-wow tunes, this video's for you. more ›

Out magazine, "the world’s leading gay fashion and lifestyle brand," has just added pint-sized Cheetoh Snooki to their official Hot List, but before giving her the honor, they grilled her on Pressing Life Issues, most notably, "Which Jersey Shore guy is the gayest?" (All of them?) more ›

Remember earlier this month when a bunch of Rutgers students used actual money to bring Snooki of Jersey Shore to their school? Paying her more than Nobel winning author Toni Morrison? Ha, kids these days right... well now some other students at the school want to undo it all by inviting Bruce Springsteen to the campus. There's even a Facebook campaign, titled “College Ave Freeze Out: Let's Bring the Boss to Rutgers!” Let's move past the fact that this is such a predictable choice—New Jersey people want to book Bruce Springteen!—and see what Facebook campaign head Daniel Oliveto has to say. more ›

Earlier this month, America's youth—specifically those currently enrolled at Rutgers University—paid Snooki of Jersey Shore an absurd amount of money to come fist pump at the school. More than the university paid Toni Morrison, in fact. (Kids today! Etc.) Now Senator Joe Kyrillos is prepping a proposal in the state Senate that would essentially, hopefully, lead to better choices. more ›

Last night Snooki, of Jersey Shore fame, went to college! Rutgers University invited the reality show starlet to come by for a Q&A, to the tune of $32,000. As everyone is pointing out today, that's $2,000 more than the school gave Toni Morrison for her commencement speech later this year. However, this booking was made by a student-run committee, using the mandatory student activity fees undergraduates must pay with their tuition. But still! more ›

Brad Ferro, who gained national fame after punching America's Meatball Snooki on an episode of Jersey Shore, has had a tough time recently. He was fired from his job as a gym teacher in Queens, and hasn't been able to get hired since. Left without any other options, he has joined the army, and his dad is pissed that it has come to this. He told the Post, "My son made them famous. They made a lot of money off of him, and I think they owe him." Perhaps he could become another roommate in Italy? more ›

While some of America was helping the real talent get back on track, another portion was helping no one by buying a book written by Jersey Shore's Snooki. The reality starlet is now a published author—though her book, "A Shore Thing," was a collaborative work with writer Valerie Frankel. According to the Daily News, Snooki prefers to go by her real name now, Nicole, and has excitedly declared, "I never knew I would write a book!" Only the big man in Hades could have predicted that one. more ›

Was the Snooki Ball just an evil plot to lure the Jersey Shore star into a death trap by stroking her ego? Probably! But we'll never know, because the Snooki Ball is no longer happening on New Year's Eve. The glass hamster ball contraption that Snooki was going to climb into around midnight in Times Square has been banned, and a source told Popeater, "At midnight, the crowd and the media will be watching Mayor Bloomberg, Dick Clark and the official ball drop, not a cast member of the Jersey Shore." more ›

Looks like the Waterford Crystal New Year's Eve ball in Times Square will have some competition this year: Snooki. The Jersey Shore star is reportedly going to be put in a ball and lowered into Times Square as part of MTV's New Year's Bash. Her castmates will also be on hand, leading the crowd in an attempt to break the Guinness World Record for group fist-pumping. Can everyone just let out a collective SIGH at midnight this year? Let's cleanse the palate and go back to simpler times: more ›

This Saturday night, Snooki (of Jersey Shore fame) is celebrating her 23rd birthday right here in New York City—at the VIP room at Pacha, to be exact. The reality starlet will be distributing LifeStyles condoms to attendees, in case they meet anyone who's DTF while there. According to the NY Post, however, while Snooki was cool with the condom company sponsoring the party, she wouldn't accept any liquor sponsors because "she doesn't want her friends to drink cheap booze" (just like with the handbags, top shelf alcohol companies probably don't want to be associated with her). Anyway, this, coming from someone who drinks Ron Ron Juice. more ›
