'Jersey Shore' Star to Ditch the Nickname?

By Kelly Fisher Posted Jan 13th 2011 10:00AM

Could this be the last we hear of Snooki? Maybe, according to 'Jersey Shore' star Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi.

Since rising to fame -- or, to some, infamy -- Polizzi's real name has fallen to the wayside to make room for her catchy moniker, which has become synonymous with the MTV hit reality show.

But is she getting tired the nickname?

"I miss my real name. I miss people calling me Nicole," she told the AP.

Polizzi, 23, is making the press rounds this month promoting her first book, 'A Shore Thing,' which she co-wrote with a ghostwriter. The book chronicles two girls' adventures during a summer at the Jersey Shore.

Sounds familiar, but maybe it's just us.

On top of her book tour, Polizzi is enjoying the record-setting ratings of MTV's 'Jersey Shore,' which brought in 8.45 million viewers with its third season premiere on Jan. 6, according to the AP.

When asked if there's a possibility of a Snooki spinoff show, a deal similar to cast member Paul "DJ Pauly D" DelVecchio's reported new show, Polizzi said it's certainly a possibility.

"Of course, if the opportunity is given to me, I'm gonna run with it," she said. However, there are no current plans in the works.

Snooki should take up residence on a desert island and take Paris, Lindsay, and the Kardashians with her.

Instead of losing the nickname Shnookie, how about losing about 40 pounds?

By ccwstauffer

How about we just lose her altogether?

But those boob implants cost her a lot of money (bah-dum-pum!)

So, is he considered "hot" in New Jersey? She'd be bagging groceries in Ohio.

I wouldn't let this diseased skank touch my groceries.

She is not from New Jersey. None of those nitwits are. They are from New York. The nationwide, moronic MTV watching public deemed her a hit, not native New Jerseyans. Moreover, what flies in North Jersey, notoriously falls flat in South Jersey.

NY garbage used to be dumped out in the ocean. Now it has its own TV show.

I live in Jersey, and she is considered a hoe here.

By juliet

ok this is stupid, our country is in debt and yet their paying these trashy people to act stupid and perverted on t.v great use of the money. they do not need any spin offs of this show, the show is probably already causing the IQ of everyone who watches it to drop.

By Heather

Absolutely. If they are watching, their IQ's can't be too high anyway.

I think she will always be known as nookie... I mean Snookie.

By bublerocks

She is one Jersey hot mess. She wrote a book with a ghost writer?
I am surprised she knows how to read and write, period!
