Snooki ::Car Crash

Snooki seems to be back in form for Jersey Shore Season 4 in Italy. The reality star formerly known as Nicole Polizzi had been trying to change some things before the new season, as she is on a new weight loss regimen. However, some things may not change so easily for the icon, given that she's already been questioned for crashing into cop cars.
According to the New York Post, Snooki may soon face charges for crashing into a patrol car in Florence, and putting two police officers in the emergency room. Naturally, she wasn't alone in her car, as fellow friend/cast member Deena and several production crew members were there with her.
This is certain to make for big footage when the new season premieres, and fuel anticipation to see the Jersey Shore kids in Italy. Their oversea adventures haven't even aired yet, but they seem to be living up to the highest/lowest expectations.
This isn't the first time that a cast member has been cited for bad driving, as the Post alleges that the gang has racked up $400 in traffic fines. They only arrived in Italy earlier this month, yet it appears they are already turning the country upside down.
Snooki is the first one to actually endanger someone in the process and get in trouble with the cops, though. But this isn't the first time she's been locked up during filming: She was arrested for drunk and disorderly conduct while Season 3 was in production. In fact, it was turned into the climax for the "Where's the Beach?" episode; this latest ordeal should inspire another special episode as well.
This could at least disturb Snooki's new weight loss plan, as she revealed to Radar Online last week that she is trying to slim down. She confessed that if she doesn't work out once a day, she can "freak out" but now she has even more to freak out about at the moment.
No matter what the reality icon looks like, her wild and crazy behavior will always be a constant about her. That's what made her and the Jersey Shore cast so big, and that's why MTV is counting on them to be even wilder and crazier in Italy.
At the least, the network can turn this incident into a big event at some point in Season 4. Although it landed two cops in the hospital and got Snooki in more legal trouble, it will soon be nothing more than the latest plot twist and cliffhanger for the show.

Lakers Dump Sasha Vujacic, NJ Gets Maria Sharapova

  The basketball gods have had enough of Sasha Vujacic's good luck streak. The 6'7" two-time champ Slovenian has been traded from the Lakers to the New Jersey Nets. Despite being best Italian-speaking buds with Kobe Bryant, the Lakers dumped Vujacic and his $5.5 milion expiring contract for journeyman Terp, Joe Smith.

  Vujacic's run as a repeat champion is over. The Lakers have barely had any use for him since the arrival of Matt Barnes this season. Barnes, also 6'7",  is better on both ends of the court and consistently plays harder than Vujacic. Yet the Slovenian will make almost $4 million more than Barnes this year despite playing less minutes than any other Laker. He also makes almost $2 million more than Laker legend and starter Derek Fisher.

 The Lakers don't need an overpaid and fading Europuff whose only show of toughness has been his non-skirmish with fellow Slovenian, Goran Dragic. What impact will the trade have on Vujacic? How will he transition from basketball heaven (Los Angeles) to hoops hell (Newark)?

 Vujacic's last day with the Lakers was spent celebrating their championship with President Barack Obama . Perhaps Vujacic had an idea he was about to be dealt as he stood near the embattled president. Maybe he secretly identified with a guy who's own team (Democrats) were turning on him the way the Lakers were distancing themselves from Vujacic.

 Vujacic's fiancée is tennis player Maria Sharapova. Unlike Laker wives Vanessa Bryant and Khloe Kardashian, Sharapova built a substantial career on her own before linking with a Laker. Her $13.6 million career earnings are on par with Vujacic's $14 million as of last summer. Yet as her own career fades, she must have enjoyed living in the limelight with a champ like Vujacic, no matter how small his role on the Lakers. Those days are over.

 It's likely Sharapova and Vujacic are feeling denial and anger over his banishment to Newark to join the 6-19 Nets.

 The transition from sunny Cali to the tough cold bitter winter months of Newark may be even more brutal than the long losing streaks Sasha will endure with the Nets.

 Fortunately, potassium helps geographic and emotional adjustments. Sharapova's love of bananas will serve her well in her transition.  

 Vujacic will join ex-Laker teammate Jordan Farmar with the Nets. Together, they have more NBA rings (4) than the entire Miami Heat roster combined (3- Wade, Haslem, House). The Nets are like the Eastern Lakers. Imagine how dominant they could be if they add another ex-Laker and man without a team, Adam Morrison. 

 OK, not that dominant. But at least they'd all have each other.

 The biggest winner of all will be New Jersey. Not the Nets, but the people of New Jersey. Between majority owner and bachelor Mikhail Prokhorov's babes, part owner Jay-Z's wife Beyonce, Kim Kardashian (currently dating Nets forward Kris Humphries), and now Maria Sharapova, the fine female factor in New Jersey stays on the rise.

  Maybe Snooki should link up with Brooke Lopez before her fifteen minutes are up.

Ellen DeGeneres dresses up as a Snooki Poof for Halloween!

We love it!
Although it's fun to go as Snooki for Halloween this year, Ellen DeGeneres took it one step further and dressed up as Snooki's Poof.
"That's Snooki down there," Ellen said of the orange Cabbage Patch doll at her feet. "I'm the poof. She's the actual size. She is that short. I met her in person. I was almost late for the show because I didn't take in account how long it takes to gym, tan and laundry, everybody."

Mtv movie awards: Stars sparkling in show

The carpet at the MTV Movie Awards was bright red and very glittery. Just about every other starlet wore a sequined dress to Sunday night's tribute to the silver screen.

A newly blond Lindsay Lohan gave the carpet some '70s flair in a sparkle-encrusted pantsuit by designer Pamella Roland. Her look was both fashionable and strategic: Wide legs covered the alcohol-monitoring ankle bracelet Linds was ordered to wear late last month.

Eva Mendes was all blue, gold, and gorgeous in a glittery one-shoulder frock by Stella McCartney. Shepaired the look with gold-trophy-colored shoes and accessories.

Katy Perry donned a Zuhair Murad dress with strategically placed clusters of sequins that kept her decent. Up top, the future Mrs. Brand rocked Smurfette-blue hair - a tribute to her upcoming role in the animated film.

Vanessa Hudgens lit up the red carpet a subtle splash sparkle. The "High School Musical" star wore a summery white Jenny Packham dress with a constellation of sequins wrapped around the bodice.

Audrina Patridge gave new meaning to the term "Tinseltown" in a shiny silver frock. She paired the look with silver Balenciaga sandals and bangle bracelets.

No MTV event would be complete without "Jersey Shore's" breakout star Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi. The diminutive diva - who ditched her signature hair pouf for the awards show -- got all glammed up in a sparkling mini and platform heels
