Jersey Shore’s Snooki Will Be A “Friggin’ Hamster” Inside New Year’s Eve Ball Drop

MTV says it plans to put Jersey Shore star Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi inside a ball that drops in New York’s Times Square to ring in 2011 as part of its “MTV New Year’s Bash” special.

What does Snooki have to say about that? “I’m gonna be like a friggin’ hamster,” she said. “It’s the first time they’ve done it. I’m not sure how it’s going to work, but I think it’ll be fine. And if not, someone is going to be in big trouble!”
Can’t wait; 10, 9, 8, 7…..
Happy Holidays everyone!

Your favorite fist pumpin’, orange glowin’ Jersians are back for Season 3 of Jersey Shore and I have the trailer below.

Barbara Walters Announces Her Most Fascinating People List

Barbara Walters has released her 2010 list of The 10 Most Fascinating People of the Year. Some of the ones selected are obvious choices and some are just downright weird. Below is the full list, minus two mystery honorees which will only be revealed during Barb’s hour-long special which airs next week.

Even Barbara admits that the list is a bit strange.  “We have quite an eclectic list this year, but every subject has truly fascinated and entertained us this year,” she said.

The most obvious choice on the list for me is Kate Middleton who announced earlier this month that she and England’s Prince William will tie the knot this coming April. Since the announcement, Kate has been the hot subject of every news and tabloid source, so, I guess we do really want to know more about her.
As much as Justin Bieber has dominated the entertainment news this year, Barbara would have had to turn on deaf ears not to include him, so, yes, the Biebs made the list as well.
When three of the year’s most popular Halloween costumes come from the same show, then, that public interest translates into inclusion on Barb’s list. So, that’s why the entire cast of The Jersey Shore, including The Situation, Snooki, and Pauly D, made the cut.
Sandra Bullock had the most amazing year on one hand, winning the Oscar, topping Forbes’ list of the highest paid actresses in Hollywood and adopting a baby. She also had the worst year of her life when her husband was found cheating on her – a situation which ended in a quickie divorce. So, ya, Sandra is on the list.

Betty White. Need I say why?

Sarah Palin?! YEP, she made it. Again. That makes it three years in a row for this Alaskan. I for one would rather have seen her daughter, Bristol Palin, make this list. I mean after all it was Bristol who had the country abuzz during her controversial stint on Dancing with the Stars.

LeBron James may have broken the heart of every single Clevelander when he signed on to play basketball for the Miami Heat, but he somehow endeared his way on to Barb’s list.

Finally, Jennifer Lopez made the list presumably for what she will do on American Idol next year because I can’t think of any reason why she was fascinating this year.
Anyone you feel should have been included but who was not? Who do you think the mystery missing two honorees are? Mark Zuckerberg? Kristin Stewart and Robert Pattinson duo? Lindsey Lohan? Mel Gibson? Kim Kardashian? Only Barb knows…

Barbara’s ABC special airs Thursday, December 9 at 10PM.

Our friends at Newsy sent us this video discussing the list!

Snooki To Do What As Part Of Her Court-Ordered Community Service?

If this is true, I think it is a brilliant idea.

Jersey Shore‘s Snooki was arrested back in July of this year for disturbing the peace in public and was ordered to pay a $500 fine and perform two days of community service.

But why make a celeb do the type of work the rest of us non-celebrities can do, like pick up trash on the side of dangerous highways.  Oh no! Not just any regular mundane type of community service will do for this Jersey Shore star.

Per TMZ, Snooki will complete her court-ordered community service at a 3-hour autograph session. Yep, you got it, Snooki will be signing pictures of herself at a fundraiser at the Seaside Heights Community Center this weekend to raise funds for an animal charity.

Sources also told TMZ Snooki will also be making a “personal donation of an undisclosed amount.” She’ll also be forced to participate in a private community service activity that will take a few hours of her time. I say – that is a win win situation!
