Snooki’s latest boyfriend, Jeff Miranda, has been accused of using her for fame and hitting on the other women on Jersey Shore before settling with her. Miranda, a 24 year-old Iraq veteran, denies that he’s with Snooki for publicity and says she’s “really cute and seems like a cool a** person, even though she’s drunk most of the time.” Now that they’ve been together a whole few weeks, it’s time for Jeff to propose and he’s doing it in the classiest way possible – shirtless and on the cover of a magazine known for featuring Jesse James’ racist mistress and giving Jon Gosselin’s ex a forum for telling the world how small his d*ck is. Radar Online has the excerpts, and they’re priceless:

Jeff Miranda is featured on the cover of the September 10 issue of Steppin’ Out Magazine and that is where he pops the question to Snooki. “Will You Marry Me?” is printed over a shot of Jeff shirtless wearing only fatigues shorts and a hat and down on one knee for the proposal.

In the exclusive excerpts from his interview, obtained by RadarOnline.com, Jeff tells Steppin’ Out editor Chaunce Hayden why he decided to propose to Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi.

“I want us to be together forever. I could see us having children. I want to pop the question to her. If we got married we would be the best parents around. She’s so loving and puts everyone else before her self. She’ll be a great mother.”

He admits that Snooki is going to be shocked by his magazine cover proposal, but he isn’t worried that she’ll say no. Once she deals with the shock I think they’ll say yes. I really do. In fact, I know she’ll say yes.”

Miranda says he doesn’t think MTV will be very happy about his proposal but that isn’t stopping him from trying to get married to Snooki.

“I love her and want to be with her,” Jeff gushes about the 22-year old tan reality TV star and promises that they’ll be happy together.

“I will never break her heart. She’s such a great girl. If people could see us together they would think we’re a match made in heaven. People think I’m using her for fame. But that’s bullsh*t.”

Jeff Mirandi addressed the difficulty of living with a reality star surrounded by cameras. “It came with the territory. But I’m willing to put up with it for Nicole. I just want to be with Nicole and make her happy. I can make her the happiest girl in the world. I have very strong feelings for her.”

Since the magazine isn’t out for two weeks Snooki will be learning from RadarOnline.com that he boyfriend has proposed. How romantic!!

[From Radar Online]

I hope he got her a ring at least! This is what happens when you spend your days sucking down margaritas in front of a camera, everything becomes a drunken blur and you end up with guys using you to get on the covers of magazines. At least he’s not shopping a sex tape with Snooki. One of her exes recently said he wishes he would have made one in light of how much it would be worth. In January Snooki admitted that she’s made quite a few sex tapes, and I doubt I’m the only one praying that none of them ever see the light of day. I’m sure it’s inevitable, though, once this girl’s star fades.

Usually we try to make up unique titles for stories, but in this case I can’t improve much on this title from US Weekly and have to give them credit for coming up with this gem. About three weeks ago, Jersey Shore “star” Snooki was arrested on the Boardwalk in Seaside Heights, NJ, for being a drunken mess. After the arrest, Snooki promised to quit drinking during the day, and to “only have a couple of drinks” when she went out at night.

Snooki has been formally charged for that incident, and in a hearing yesterday prosecutors added another amusing charge onto her roster. She’s was officially accused of “annoying people on abeach.” Can we add “throughout the world” to that? Her lawyer pleaded not guilty on her behalf. The trial is on September 8 and Snooki is only expected to be ordered to pay a fine.

A prosecutor says Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi is not just being charged with disorderly conduct and creating a public nuisance, but also annoying people on a beach.

Yes, that’s a crime in New Jersey.

At a hearing in Seaside Heights on Wednesday, an attorney for the Jersey Shore star entered not guilty pleas to all three charges, which relate to an arrest July 30 for being intoxicated in public.

No matter how it turns out, the pint-sized Snooki is not expected to serve jail time. If she’s convicted of all three charges, she faces $2,000 in fines. Her attorney claims her clean record should keep maximum fines down to $500.

Snooki says the case has made her “feel like a criminal” and that it’s caused her to rethink her habits.

[From People]

For the five people who care slightly, Snooki has a new boyfriend named Jeff who says he’s really into her, even though “she’s drunk most of the time.” There have been rumors that Jeff, an Iraq war veteran, is dating Snooki for the fame, which he countered by saying that “I don’t care about the cameras. It’s about me and her.” However Snooki’s ex castmate, Angelina, claims that Jeff tried out for Jersey Shore and that he was often hanging around the cast and hitting on her before he settled on Snooki. Jeff claims he’s into Snooki, though, and that “These accusations are false. All I want is to be happy. Nicole is a sweet girl.” Even though she’s drunk all the time, right?

After an arrest for being publicly drunk and disorderly a little over a week ago, the squat(test) star of MTV reality hit Jersey Shore has vowed to cut down on her drinking. In a press conference following her arrest, Snooki was nonchalant about it and said “I didn’t hurt anybody – stuff like that happens in Jersey… I had too many tequilas. What are you gonna do?” Later, after a talking-to from her father, she said she “felt bad” about the arrest and would cut back.

“My dad was very, very pissed. He’s like, ‘I didn’t raise you like this.’ I just felt really bad, so I’m definitely going to stop drinking during the daytime. And now when I go out, I only have a couple drinks. I learned that I need to calm down with drinking.”

That’s a lot of insight considering the source. Snooki was trashed relentlessly in a NY Times profile published a couple of weeks ago. (If you haven’t seen it yet, it’s worth a read.) The author compared trying to have a conversation with Snooki to talking to a child and wrote “You have to come down to her level, and sometimes you almost think you need to bribe her with a piece of candy to coax her to be more responsive. She is really only responsive to her own immediate needs and desires.”

The Times journalist also spoke to her father, who wondered aloud why his daughter was famous despite a lack of talent. He also gave an example of how Snooki is just as loud and attention-seeking off the show as she is while the cameras are rolling. He told an embarrassing story of Snooki visiting him at work, “Instead of standing at the counter and saying, ‘Can I speak to my father?’ she walks in and goes, ‘Daddy, Daddy!’ And people are looking at her. It’s not an act. It’s just the way she is.”

I finally broke down and tried to watch this show. (You can see full episodes online at MTV.com) I made it through a whole 20 minutes of episode two in this second season before turning it off. The cast was dealing with hangovers, going shopping, and fighting. In the last scene I saw, Snooki was clumsily trying to clean up the mess from some marinating chicken that fell out of the refrigerator when she opened it. My five year old could have cleaned up that chicken mess better than she did. It’s just The Real World with some really obtuse characters, and it’s really popular for some reason. It doesn’t hurt that the characters can be fascinating to watch, if only to marvel at how truly dense and witless they are.

Speaking of dense characters, a new girl is coming to the Jersey Shore house following Angelina’s exit. She’s named Deena Nicole Cortese and is an old friend of Snooki’s. At a press conference with the cast on Friday, Cortese outlined her qualifications. “I’m very energetic, I’m going hard and you never know what you’re going to get with me.” I’m sure she’ll fit right in with that petri dish of spray tan chemicals, Axe body spray, and frosted lipstick.

So I guess we have to cover this dumb story. Snooki, of Jersey Shore “fame”, was arrested on Friday in New Jersey. The charge seemed to be some variation on drunk and disorderly – Snooki was “drinking in public… J-WOWW was spotted trying to talk Snooki into going back into the house. But Snooki was out of control and seemed drunk,” according to Radar’s sources. For those keeping track, she was drinking Patron, and she was officially charged with disorderly conduct.

The chief of police told Radar at the time of the arrest: “She is in our lockup right now, she is under arrest for disorderly conduct, we are waiting for the police report to come through.” She didn’t have to take a blood alcohol test, though, because she wasn’t driving. Small mercies, although I give her credit for that: so many dumb, drunk a–holes get behind a wheel, so I guess Snooki is better than them. She was released later on Friday, hopefully after she sobered up a little. One source mentioned to Radar, “If no one is with her, Snooki can keep drinking until she passes out.” And her ex-boyfriend Emilio Masella told Radar: “I think she needed this to draw attention to herself and keep up her fame level. She has more competition with the new girl. This is typical, I’m not surprised that she got arrested.”

I have to admit, I think disorderly conduct is a bullsh-t charge. Lots of college towns have cops that hand out disorderly conduct charges just to be a–holes, to get college kids to pay fines and bring in revenue for the town. Now, I have no doubt Snooki was actually disorderly, and perhaps even a threat to herself and others. But come on, it’s not like this is some huge deal, in my opinion. The chick was sh-tfaced in public, whatever. I can’t believe it, but I actually have some sympathy for her. Oh, wait, she’s an idiot. Sympathy over.

Here are some photos of police hauling Snooki’s drunk ass into jail (from behind):

Pint-sized orange wonder Jersey Shore star Snooki is trying to lose weight after downing too many margaritas and munchies. She’s on a “cookie diet” sold by a Dr. Siegal, who looks like he could use some magic cookies himself. Snooki wants to lose 10 pounds off her 4’9″ allegedly 110 pound frame. She admits in a promotional video from US Weekly (above) that she has been drinking too much, but then claims she loves Miami because you can have a drink at 10:00 in the morning when that same behavior would have you branded an alcoholic in New Jersey.

Jersey Shore guidette Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi doesn’t like what she sees in the mirror.

“I used to be fit,” she tells UsMagazine.com. “Now I look at myself, and I’m like, What the hell happened?”

PHOTOS: Stars with Snooki’s hair

So the MTV reality star, 22, is now on Dr. Siegal’s cookie diet.

On the diet, she eats only one meal a day (usually chicken) — and six cookies, each of which suppresses hunger. The six cookies — which contain beef and milk protein — each contain about 11 grams of carbohydrates and 90 calories.

The biggest challenge so far? No binge drinking!

“If I go out I am going to have a drink, but I am not going to have 10 drinks like I usually would,” she says.

The 4’9″ star’s ultimate goal: “I would like be back to 100 lbs; I’m 110 right now.”

[From US Weekly]

Dr. Seigel pointed out that 10 pounds makes a big difference on someone as short as Snooki. I’m really reporting on this so I can rip on this ridiculous diet. You will lose weight if you eat less calories than you take in. It’s a simple concept made complicated by so many options and gimmicks. These cookies are 90 calories. Yesterday I looked up the calorie content in Pillsbury cookies, the kind made from the refrigerated dough, and they’re about 65-70 calories each. (I had a couple and they were awesome.) So instead of eating these three expensive cookies, which cost $4.28 “per replaced meal” according to the website, you could eat 3 Pillsbury cookies for breakfast, three for lunch, and save calories and money. (If you want to eat cookies instead of real meals.)

Sure these diet cookies supposedly have protein and beef in them, which you can replace for less calories with some actual lean protein like a package of deli turkey for $3. I just hate diet schemes that involve processed food. It’s not good for your body and won’t help you keep the weight off. I should be careful not to talk crap about this diet, though. Kim Kardashian is being sued by Dr. Seigel for calling the diet “unhealthy” after she issued him a cease and desist for claiming she followed the diet.

Of course we can’t expect Snooki to know what’s good for her body. She paints herself a rusty shade of greasy orange and loves the fact that it’s socially acceptable to drink at 10:00 am.

Jersey Shore castmember Snooki first shot to fame when video came out of her getting punched in the face at a bar while filming the first season of the MTV reality show. The Jersey Shore gang is down in South Beach, Miami and newly single Snooki was just involved in her second bar fight. Radar Online has video of the incident (fight is around :50 in to video) and Snooki doesn’t look like the victim in this case at all. A doofy looking guy circles Snooki at an outdoor bar, and bends over to tell her something that is impossible to hear over the drumming music. She then gets up, smacks him twice and throws a drink in his face, to which he retaliates by chucking a drink back at her. She resorts to throwing the ketchup at him while he’s retreating. The whole thing was dutifully filmed by the MTV cameras and in some shots you can see the boom mic edging in to catch the dialogue. I’m sure we’ll hear all about this fight in the coming days, but for now all we have is video that’s essentially without audio. No matter what the guy said to Snooki, she assaulted him and there’s no excuse for that. Here’s Radar’s account, which claims the guy hit on her. I would guess that he said something pretty obnoxious and wasn’t hitting on her at all:

Nicole ‘Snooki’ Polizzi slapped a man, sparked a food fight and threw alcohol over him during a bar fight in South Beach, Miami, on Saturday night — and RadarOnline.com has the exclusive video.

In retaliation, the man showered the Jersey Shore star with his own drink, during the incident at Ocean’s 10 bar on Ocean Drive at around 6pm.

MTV was filming the second series of the hit reality show, at the time. Police were not called.

According to an eye witness, the argument started when a drunken lout expressed interest in the newly single Snooki.

She had been doing shots with co-star Jenni “JWOWW” Farley, said the witness.

“She was in a good mood, but this particular guy was obviously interested and she wasn’t,” explained Fred Hernandez, who was at the bar and watched the incident.

“She told him, ‘Don’t f— with me’ so he snatched her drink and walked off.

“He returned to his table and told a friend, the man in the green T-shirt, who then came over and mouthed off to Snooki.

“I guess he provoked her by wanting an apology and she flipped out.”

In the ensuing confrontation, Snooki reached for food on her table and threw it over the beefy brute.

She then lunged toward the man, slapping him across the shoulder with her left hand — and then walloping him in the face with a second, right handed slap.

Not content, Snooki then doused the contents of a nearby plastic cup over him.

In response, the man — whose identity is not known — reached for his own drink and drenched Snooki, much to her anger.

Security responded and booted him out of the venue.

“What the f— has happened,” JWOWW screamed at Snooki, as she rushed to her co-star’s aid.

To which she responded: “He took my drink!”

It is the second bar fight to involve 21-year-old Snooki. During series one, Brad Ferro, a teacher at North Queens Community High School, was caught by MTV cameras slugging Snooki in the face inside a Seaside Heights, New Jersey, bar.

MTV showed clips of the shocking punch in promos for the show, but it ultimately pulled the footage from the episode, calling it “extremely disturbing”.

After this latest confrontation, Snooki continued to party as fans screamed, “We love you Snooki!”

[From Radar Online]

So Snooki smacked a guy repeatedly, threw a drink and a ketchup bottle at him, and he’s the one who gets thrown out of the bar? If the tables were turned and a guy did that to a woman it’s not like the woman would be tossed out for getting beat up. Just because Snooki is little and female doesn’t mean she deserves a pass.

Not only did Snooki fight with this idiot guy, she also got in a screaming match with some women at a nearby table. Photo agency Bauer Griffin has the photo (below) and description: “Nicole ‘Snooki’ Polizzi and Jenni “JWoww” Farley have some cocktails together. Before long, Snooki gets into an argument with a nearby table.’ Oh and TMZ has a better photo of Snooki and J-Woww feeling on each other’s boobs at this same bar while onlookers gawk. This show is such a train wreck.

This ridiculous incident aside – I want to know why Snooki is wearing a butterfly clip in her hair. Those things are for separating your hair while you’re drying and styling, and are not intended to be used as accessories. If this pint-sized wonder starts to popularize the butterfly clip I’m really going to dislike her.

This news is in Star Magazine, so let’s hope it’s completely fabricated, but supposedly producers of the hit MTV reality show Jersey Shore are encouraging the female stars, namedly J-Wowww and Snooki, to get pregnant to help bring in ratings. These girls are partiers in their early 20s and if this is true it’s unconscionable. Star makes sh*t up wholesale though so this whole story could be wishful thinking. Supposedly producers are offering $500,000 for a pregnancy along with a follow-up starring reality show role. Snooki is supposedly on board and wants twins. These kids are only getting $10k an episode, so I’m thinking the half million figure for a baby is completely unrealistic. $50k maybe, not $500k.

Star has learned exclusively that producers are trying to entice one of the female stars [of Jersey Shore]… to get pregnant this time around.

“They’re offering a big bonus for a baby,” a source reveals to Star. In fact, the source says producers are prepared to cough up a half million dollars and a spin off series for the female cast member who agrees to get knocked up. And it looks like Snooki, 22, might be up for the challenge.

“I want twins,” the tiny Guidette… squealed in an exclusive NYC interview with Star. Along with her new boyfriend, a hunky bodybuilder named Emilio Masella who works as a personal trainer at Gold’s Gym in Connecticut, Snooki confessed, “We want a boy and a girl, fraternal twins. I think our kids will be so cute! But I don’t want to get married or anything until I’m like 26 or 27.”

[From Star Magazine, print edition, April 12, 2010]

So Snooki doesn’t want to get married until she’s older, but she’s ready to have two kids with the guy? Children are way more of a commitment than marriage. You can always get divorced, but you’ll probably have to deal with someone for the rest of your life if you have kids with them. I wouldn’t expect mental giant Snooki to get that, though.

Meanwhile US Weekly reports that J-Woww, 23, wants off Jersey shore. The baby issue could be part of it, but US doesn’t mention that at all. They quote a source in this week’s print edition who says “[J-Woww] doesn’t want to be on the show anymore. She cried her eyes out when she found out it was picked up again.” They add that she isn’t friends with the other cast members apart from Snooki. She’s also writing a “lifestyle guide” with her other co-star, Ronnie Ortiz-Magro, titled Never Fall in Love at the Jersey Shore. The sub-title should be and always use Condoms. To put it very mildly – these kids should not be offered massive cash bonuses in exchange for bringing a child into the world when all they want to do is get drunk and hook up.

Jersey Shore’s most visible cast member, pint-sized overly bronzed Snooki, might be resorting to the tried and true method to extend her fifteen minutes: nude photos. Radar Online reports that they’ve seen photos and video of Snooki naked and it doesn’t sound like she leaves much to the imagination. One photo is described as “graphic.” (You guys were right, I gave this girl way too much credit.) We’ve already heard that Snooki’s castmate, J-Woww, has nude photos available. Neither Snooki or J-Woww’s pictures have been leaked online so they’re probably holding them close to their ample chests in order to get the highest payout. It sounds like Snooki is trying to one-up J-Woww with this latest offering. Snooki of course denies having any knowledge of the photos, which Radar Online claims were “self snapped.” The question is: did she take them for a boyfriend or for the media? Do I even need to ask that?

Nude shots and video of the MTV reality show star are being shopped around to different media outlets, reports RadarOnline.com.

Nicole (Snooki) Polizzi, who reportedly took the steamy shots and footage herself, appears in her bedroom in one photo, kneeling with one hand on the floor and the other grabbing her bed frame. And according to Radar, another photo is just too raunchy to describe.

But Polizzi seems to deny there are any such materials floating around.

“Idk [I don't know] where radar online comes up with their stories … weirdos,” the pint-sized reality star wrote on Twitter Tuesday after the story broke.

If the shots are the real deal, that would make Snooki the second “Jersey Shore” cast member to have naked pictures surface within the past week. Last Tuesday, Radar revealed that at least three nude shots of Jenni (JWoww) Farley were for sale.

On the show, which had its season finale two weeks ago, Polizzi often strutted around in short, skin-tight and low-cut dresses.

In the very first episode, she peeled off most of her clothes and took a dip in the hot tub in just her bra and thong. In another episode, Polizzi flashes her thong while doing backflips in a supershort dress on a club dance floor.

But while she didn’t mind showing some skin then, Polizzi did draw a line at some point.

While catching a piggyback ride from a guy on the Seaside boardwalk, she warned him, “I think my crotch is sticking out,” and asked to be put down.

“I’m not trashy,” she shared, “unless I drink too much.”

[From NY Daily News]

The last we reported on Snooki, she refused to even say hi to talk show host Jerry Springer while they were both at Foxwoods Casino, claiming she was “way classier than that.” It’s so classy to snub someone when you’re known for a reality show in which you regularly get drunk, make out with random guys and strip down to your underwear. Add some nude spread-eagle photos to the mix and Snooki is redefining classy!

Joy Behar said on her CNN show (video below) that Jersey Shore’s Snooki snubbed Jerry Springer at Foxwoods Casino in Connecticut, saying “I’m way classier than that.” She refused to even say hi to him or have a quick conversation! Yes, Jerry Springer’s show is trashy and the lowest of the low, but so is Snooki’s reality show! As Joy’s guests mentioned, Snooki made out with a guy in a hottub while in her underwear on the first episode of Jersey Shore. If my memory serves me, she also made out with a random guy at a bar recently. This girl better dial it back a notch or she’ll be alienating everyone that could potentially prolong her 15 minutes. She already told the sponsors who pulled ads off the show to f-ck off.

In related Jersey Shore news, there will most likely be another season with all the original eight cast members. There was news that they were trying to band together and hold out for more money, but MTV told them they didn’t care and would hire new kids to replace anyone who didn’t accept their offer. According to OK!, they caved and every castmember will receive $10,000 per episode plus a $10,000 signing bonus.

One of the Jersey Shore cast, Vinny Guadagnino, is planning to go to law school. He told US Weekly that he would have gone to Yale or Harvard, but that his LSAT score was just average. “I had a plan that if my score was really well [sic], then I might of just went to Yale or Harvard…But it was just mediocre.” If the guy writes anything like he talks, he’s in for a definite challenge. At least he has his reality show career to fall back on.

Say what you will about Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi, the pint-sized orange-hued trash-talking star of controversial new MTV reality show Jersey Shore, her profile is definitely on the rise. I’m seeing this chick everywhere and there’s something refreshing about her in a sea of cardboard Kardashians and Pratts. Snooki’s punch to the face brought her to our attention but her personality keeps her on the radar. She doesn’t have to work too hard for coverage because she’s such a character.

Snooki, 21, told the advertisers who decided to pull their commercials from the show “F you,” and in turn one of those advertisers is noting the source. A rep from Dominoes pizza told E! Online that “there’s no need to get into a war with this young girl, because tick-tock, her fifteen minutes are almost up.” I beg to differ, and if so Dominoes just helped extend it a little longer by commenting. Dominoes said they didn’t take any money out of their ads with MTV, but it sounds like the rearranged their ads to avoid being associated with Jersey Shore.

The foul-mouthed reality starlet recently told Steppin’ Out magazine that she has some thoughts for Domino’s, Dell, UNICO and American Family Insurance: “F—k you! If you don’t want to watch, don’t watch. Just shut the hell up! I’m serious…F—k you!”

Snooki’s elegant outburst follows the decison of Domino’s, etc… to pull their advertising from the hit MTV reality show.

A rep for Domino’s says his first thought was to decline commenting to avoid giving Snooki extra publicity. But unlike Dell, he went ahead and gave us a lengthy comment anyway…

“Our first response was, ‘What a classy young lady—her parents must be so proud,’” the rep told us today. “There’s no need to get into a war with this young girl, because tick-tock, her fifteen minutes are almost up.”

Despite the beef between Domino’s and the New York Guidette, the pizza giant’s rep assures us there are no hard feelings toward MTV. “We have no issue with MTV or the programming it airs,” the rep said. “Just like viewers have a choice of what they want to watch, advertisers have a choice on what shows they want to advertise.”

“We didn’t pull a penny from MTV,” the rep continued. “We love what they do. We never made any critical commentary. It was a 30-second call, and MTV said, ‘OK,’ and that was it.”

[From E! Online]

I definitely think Snooki is on to better things when and if this Jersey Shore show ends. OK Magazine has a new interview with her and she says her goal is to get her own dating show, “Snookin for Love.” I can see it happening. There’s also an interview with her in In Touch in which she talks about her beauty regime. It includes copious amounts of Avon products sold by her mom and she recommends Paul Mitchell hairspray for the best hold. They posted the photo below of Snooki “without” makeup and the trademark poof in her hair. That’s what I look like after I put my makeup on. We’ll be seeing more of Snooki, and I get the feeling that she won’t pull a bunch of desperate stunts like Tila Tequila.

Here’s a link to a video of Snooki on The Wendy Williams show. (I can’t embed the video here.) She seems like a lot of fun.
