Fewer fears for reality star Snooki’s unborn child: the Jersey Shore cast member is reportedly moving out of the house that serves as staging-ground for the show’s drama to live by herself. Though she’ll be filming this summer, she’ll be living “nearby”–but isn’t moving away from the nest, like so many Growing Pains kids Read More
On last night’s episode of the MTV reality show, viewers tuned in to see Sammi “Sweetheart” Giancola get into a weave-pulling contest with some rando on Jersey Shore. But in reality, the new Dangerous perfume brand ambassador was spending her Thursday evening hanging out at Public Assembly in Williamsburg, along with some of her costars.
Wait, Williamsburg? But that’s where people who don’t own TVs live! Read More
On the second floor of the Planet Hollywood in Midtown yesterday evening, the reality show star wore a sparkling cross necklace. It stood out to us as we sat across from her only because it was the only accessory larger than her three-inch fake eyelashes. The New York Observer‘s first question for Sammi “Sweetheart” Giancola–the Jersey Shore personality that wasn’t Snooki, Jennifer “JWOWW” Farley, or “the other one”–was how she felt when not wearing makeup.

Was she happy with the results? Sure.
“Now I know I don’t always have to wear makeup when I’m going to the store, I can just splash on some lip-gloss and be okay,” Ms. Giancola told us, batting her heavily-made up eyes. This evening however, was not just a romp to the store. Holding court in the Midtown tourist attraction for the first item to ever bear her likeness on the cover, the reality show star was done-up to the nines. Fake eyelashes, smokey eyes, bronzer, and yes, lots of lip gloss. Read More

Visiting the country of your ancestral origin is a formative experience. You come to understand yourself. Your tastes and interests gain new contexts. You get to have a nice long plane ride.
But do you get to have a “sure-to-be mini-bottle laden plane ride?” This is how MTV describes the voyage the cast of “Jersey Read More
In September, Jersey Shore‘s most indelible cartoon guidette decided to pen a memoir of sorts — a roman à clef detailing the boardwalk way of life.
But would this tome ever approach completion? Some doubted whether the 22-year-old woman who doesn’t eat lobster because “they’re alive when you kill it” could complete an entire work Read More
