It's Snooki...I mean "Nicole".

Nicole Polizzi, known to most as simply, "Snooki" on MTV's The Jersey Shore, wants to forget about the nickname that helped to make her so famous. In an article posted by US Weekly, Polizzi stated, "I miss people calling me Nicole".

Calling the star of the Jersey Shore by her real name just doesn't seem natural. When the show debuted in the summer of 2009, Nicole went by her memorable nickname of "Snooki" and wore her signature "poof". She appeared to be more of a character than an actual person. She has since lost the poof, and with the loss of her nickname, is becoming more realistic and relatable. This poses the question, will a more realistic Jersey Shore character still be interesting?

A majority of the other characters on the show have nicknames as well, such as DJ Pauly D, The Situation, and Sammi Sweetheart. These nicknames help to give the cast an identity and make them more memorable. Those characters that are without a nickname, such as Ronnie and Vinny have not managed to garner nearly as much popularity as their nicknamed counterparts. Without her nickname, will Nicole still be as popular and relevant to the show, or will she sink back into a state of forgettable normalcy?

What do you think about Nicole's desire to drop her nickname? Do you think she is becoming too "normal" for a show like The Jersey Shore?

Jersey Shore's DJ Pauly D to Get Own Show

According to J-14.com, DJ Pauly D, star of the hit MTV show, Jersey Shore, will soon be getting his own spin-off show.

Very few details have been released about DJ Pauly D's new show, but it sounds as if they want to make it a reality show, focusing on his life away from the shore. Personally, I fail to see how this show will be much different than The Jersey Shore. To me, it will be the same thing, minus all of the other cast mates...

No word yet on when the show will air.

Are you excited about DJ Pauly D's new show? Will you watch it when it airs?

The Jersey Shore's "The Situation" Signs a $400,000 Deal to Sponsor Vodka Protein Drink

TMZ.com is reporting that The Jersey Shore's "The Situation" has just recently signed a $400,000 contract to sponsor a new vodka protein drink made by a company called Devotion.

The drink is being targeted for health conscious individuals who apparently want a healthier drink choice at parties. The drink, when paired with an extensive weight training program is said to rid the individual of body fat by replacing it with lean body mass. Plus, with The Situation now endorsing the product, it is supposed to make people believe that by drinking this vodka, they too, will earn a six pack to show off. That, or they can just drink a six pack of Vodka and help bring in the money for Devotion...


What do you think about Devotion's new Protein Vodka drink? Would you be willing to try it, or is it too weird for your liking? Do you think having The Situation endorse it is a good choice?

I personally am not a fan of this idea. By combining vodka with protein it creates the false illusion that drinking can be safe and healthy, which it really can't. I mean, come on, it's still Vodka. Also, does The Situation really need more money and a new endorsement deal to help feed his already sickening ego? Just sayin'.

Devotion's new protein/vodka drink can be purchased for $29.99 for a bottle that is slightly over 25 ounces. It can be purchased online through their website,
