Snooki in my friends house

Snooki and the rest of the Jersey Shore cast appeared on The View yesterday to promote the release of Jersey Shore Season 1 on DVD. (I am considering making the purchase, although I think it might be a new low point. Regardless, let's be honest, I'll probably own it before the weekend is here). Or, you could watch full epsidoes online. I mean for you non serious fans.

Let me paint the scene.

Whoopi and Joy HATE the show. Hate the folks. And Joy all but said it on the show. Whoopi wasn't too bad. Just wore a weird Alice in Wonderfuland hat symbolizing her going down the rabbit hole. Haters.

Elizabeth (sporting a "I heart The Situation" shirt) and Sherri (totally rocking the Snooki do) love the show. Two thumbs up, ladies.

The segment was more of a back and forth, yelling match really, between the haters (really just Joy) and the supporters, with the cast getting a few words in edgewise. The Situation started by giving all the cohosts nicknames:

Whoopi--The Administrator

Joy--The Assumption (she was not pleased)

Elizabeth--The Attraction (he wants in her pants, obviously)

Sherri--The Duplication ('cause she had her hair done like Snooks)

My favorite moment. They asked Snooki when she knew was famous. Her answer. "Pretty much since birth."

On the show (and in other reported news), it has been said that Snooki is not even Italian-American, but rather Chilean. On the show, she said she is part Chilean and part Sicilian. I don't know about her birth origins, but I do know one very awesome, amazing, makes me smile piece of news.....wait for it.....

My friend is third cousins with Snooki. My friend's mom is first cousin's with Snooki's mom. Snooki, the adopted Chilean daughter of my friend's mom's first cousin. Holy moly, I did just die and go to entertainment heaven. I feel like an insider with insider info. Like now, it doesn't seem as creepy that I tweeted at Snooki (even though she didn't tweet back). I mean, Snooki and I are pretty much really good friends now, by association only. Who's going to play me in the movie? Because my friend's mom is mortified about Snooks being part of the family with her televised antics, I'll refrain from namedropping, but this is fabulously awesome to me.

Snooki, adopted by an Italian family, THAT I KNOW! Now, that is good news for a Wednesday.

Pretty much gotta buy the season now. Just to support the family and all. Not to mention I'm half Italian. I really need to support this cause, both for my friend's family and my heritage.

Maybe I can convince one of my first cousins to join season 2. I mean, the Panaro's can be guido too. I like sparkly, tacky stuff.
