Looks like the world will soon be blessed with one more guido. Snooki has revealed to In Touch magazine that she and fiance Jionni LaValle are expecting a baby boy.

“Everyone said I was going to have a boy and they were right," said Snickers. “I thought it was going to be a girl. I was hoping it would be, because all girls want girls. It’s still my baby, no matter what. I’m excited either way!” Sounds like she's a bit disappointed. Of course, anything that's not an eight-pound bottle of tequila would probably be a let-down for ol' Snooks.

So what does the former reality starlet plan to name her bundle joy? Either Jionni Jr. or Lorenzo, she revealed to the tabloid. Jionni Polizzi-Lavalle, Jr? Jeez, how will anyone know the kid's Italian!?

Well, in case you ever wondered what Snooki would be like with a belly full of baby instead of booze, we now have our answer: boooooooring! At least that seems to be the case according to her most recent interview and this clip of the new MTV reality show featuring Snooks and JWoww.

"The fact that I can reproduce is very scary," says Snooks, uttering possibly the truest words ever spoken. But other than the occasional funny one-liner this show looks like a full-on snooze-fest. Apartment hunting! Sonograms! The exciting life of two young gals making their way in friggin' Jersey City! Look, we know you're both millionaires, MTV found you a place to live and by the time this thing gets to air we'll all be sick to death of hearing about the guido monster fighting Snooki's bloated liver for elbow room.

So what happened? Well, apparently adulthood. "I guess [pregnancy] just made me more mature,” told reporters while promoting the show. "It's different because now I'm not drinking. I'm usually partying and going to clubs but pregnancy made me grow up a lot."

Oh, great...A sober, mature Snooki! Just what absolutely no one wants to see! Look, I'm sure Nicole's parents are happy to see her finally growing up, but in terms of entertainment value, I think I'd rather watch a show about The Situation taking over his uncle's landscaping business.

Snooki's not good at keeping secrets. We all knew she was pregnant a good month or two before the official announcement and we all knew she was engaged to her baby daddy, Jionni LaValle, long before she tweeted the following twitpic yesterday:

No, she's not just showing off the latest in guido bling; she's finally revealing that she's engaged. Snooks tweeted the photo along with the caption, "My FIANCE!" Nice reveal, Snickers, but we all heard the news about six weeks ago. But hey, we don't wanna take away from your big moment. Congrats to the happy couple and their coming gwaby (that's a guido baby). We're sure everything will go smoothly...until The Situation shows up at the hospital to confront Jionni in the delivery room. Enjoy that!

MTV is not impressed with pregnant Snooki and sober recovering addict Mike Sorrentino f*cking  up Jersey Shore, so they're reportedly casting two people to replace 'em. The people who run MTV's most popular series are buggin' out right now because they're concerned that the show will lose its edge.

Looking Cocky

495 Productions is casting two new castmates and "plans to limit Snooki and The Situation's roles on the new season -- giving new cast members more screen time instead."

I LOVE IT!

Snooki thought that getting knocked up would help her career, and I have my doubts about whether Mike went to rehab for damage control purposes. Considering how shady he is, it makes you wonder about how genuine he is.

There's no way that the Shore House can turn into Sober House and sustain its viewership, so this is a must. I'm just shocked that MTV is still trying to run this show. They're tryna make it the new Real World.

It often happens, folks pretend that they don't know that there can be "too much of a good thing." Oprah is learning that lesson with her failing OWN Network, FOX learnt that lesson by creating The X Factor, a talent show like every other talent show, and MTV will soon learn that when Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi and JWoww's reality show makes it to broadcast.

Jersey Shore was supposed to be a show about party loving buff dudes and drama loving female sluts. Then Snooki got pregnant, and Jenni? She's always been boring. She isn't funny, she isn't even interesting. She's just naked half of the time so that we have a reason to pay her some attention.

JWoww's dogs are reportedly going to obedience school on her spin-off show with Snooki, and Nicole is learning how to be a mother I guess, based upon the photo above. Get it? The party-loving maneater is pregnant and she has to learn how to be a mom. MTV, y'all are too creative! I just hope you didn't pay Nicole and Jenni that much for this show because I can guarantee you your script won't translate into ratings gold.

Lately, the off-camera lives of the Jersey Shore cast have been far more dramatic than anything that happens on the show, but because it mainly exists to squeeze every cent possible out of played-out ideas (Beavis & Butthead? Punk'd? Really?) MTV still rounded up the guidos to discuss the televisual Ambien that was season five. Host Amy Paffrath was apparently unaware that most people tuning into the reunion special actually watch Shore on a regular basis so she referred to season five as "the craziest yet." Amy, the only crazy thing is that this show got picked up for a sixth season.

Paffrath kicked off the clip fest by reminding us that the Shore kids "picked up right where they left off" in Seaside, which was a huge part of the problem. "It felt good to fall down and pee in bushes," said Snooki, and then the guys talked about how much they missed their GTL sessions in Italy for the 5 millionth time. Then, (Finally!) things got interesting when The Situation and Snooki (or Cokey and Preggo, as I call them) were pulled aside to discuss their still-unresolved cheating scandal.

"If I was that horny, I would go in my room and masturbate," says Snooks about the prospect of sex with The Sitch. Mike and Nicole engaged in their usual he said/she said routine, and the whole thing remained unsettled, eventually leading Ronnie to echo the sentiments of the audience by screaming, "Who the f*ck cares?!" Snooki actually offered an interesting defense by claiming that Mike likes to stir up drama but doesn't want to be hated, so he chose to start sh!t with the roommate he thought was most likely to forgive. Good theory, but I still think she banged him.

Clips of Mike's drunken emotional outburst have an added poignancy now that he's admitted to a substance abuse problem, but a montage of The Sitch's douchiest season five moments made it really difficult to feel bad for the dude. "You're worried about being the good guy or being the bad guy...Just be yourself," Snooki said to him, unwittingly hitting on one of the major problems with Shore. At this point, everyone has settled into their respective roles (JWoww's the mom; Snooki's the drunk; Pauly and Deena are comic relief) and as a result, it's slowly become one of the most predictable shows on TV. And it looks like it's not just the audience that's fed up with it...

Poor Snooki. She went to all that trouble to melt down to her target weight of 98 pounds, only to get knocked up and spend yet another year covering her midsection at the beach.

That's Snickers poolside in Cancun, cradling her covered baby bump. If she's self-conscious now, wait until she's toughing out her third trimester while simultaneously filming season six of Jersey Shore. Better get used to the attention, Snooks. You're about to go through the world's most public pregnancy.

No word yet on how Snooki likes celebrating spring break while three months pregnant. Thus far, she hasn't been spotted pounding margaritas for two.

Talk about putting the nail in the coffin on one of the most successful reality shows in history! MTV will begin filming Jersey Shore season 6 this summer in Seaside Heights, New Jersey. All of the housemates will return for "their home-away-from-home, and the house dynamic is headed into unchartered territory…as their lives outside the “Shore” take off in exciting new directions," according to MTV's publicity department.

The network claims that the cast's "trademark hilarity and family dysfunction will remain the same." Are you also confused?! So the Jersey Shore castmates' lives are taking off "in exciting new directions" yet things in the house "will remain the same"? MTV wishes.

MTV execs need to figure out how to make this show interesting again. They need to hire scriptwriters, they should add a new housemate, stop sending the cast to Karma every single night... or they could just cancel the show right now! We don't need season 6. I don't like anyone in the cast anymore and I really can't stand that these millionaires "work" at a T-shirt store for a living! MTV doesn't think very highly of its viewers.

The show is too stupid to make any sense now. I'll just DVR it so that I can see the pregnant midget sex Snooki will still engage in with her gay fiance Jionni during her third trimester, just like Jessica Simpson does with her unlucky dude.

Everyone from Sammi Sweetheart to Rihanna has spoken out in favor of Nicole Snooki Polizzi's surprise pregnancy, but what does the impending bundle of guido joy actually mean for her castmates and the show that made her famous?

Season five of Jersey Shore concluded last night with several bangs and a whimper. It was a suitably low-key send-off for the show's most drama-free season yet. Shore remains strong in the ratings, but fan enthusiasm has waned as we've watched our beloved pack of super-tan hook-up fiends morph into a group of bored millionaires who play increasingly pointless pranks on one another. This is the first time a season of Shore has concluded without a new season already in the works. But that's fine because 3 of the 8 cast members have spinoffs on the way, right?

Not necessarily. The most high-profile of those spinoffs focuses solely on Snooki and her BFF JWoww. It was supposed to showcase their odd couple dynamic with Jenni playing concerned mom to Nicole's carefree party monster. But now that Snooki is soon to be an actual mom, will the show be able give fans what they came for? And if the spinoff tanks, does that prove once and for all that both Snooki and JWoww are incapable of maintaining fame post-Shore?

MTV will cash in on the wave of guido popularity at least once more before pulling the plug. We'll see a final season of Shore in which a pregnant Snooki makes sporadic, (hopefully) sober cameos. But let's face it - after the final "farewell season" the show will lose its main attraction. There's nothing to say Snooki can't work after she has a child, but she can't do the kind of work that made her famous. Seeing a young, single woman get trashed and bang a succession of "gorillas" is fun; seeing a young mother act like an idiot is, well...Teen Mom. So while the Snookster may be overjoyed with the thought of starting a family and we wish her all the best...her pregnancy sadly signals the end of the Age of the Guido. What a time we had.

Celebrities. They really aren’t just like us. While heading back to New York after Brad Pitt’s Make It Right Foundation benefit, Rihanna was asked on her opinion about Snooki’s impending spawn.

Instead of giving an awkward reluctant response or ranting about the denigration of a society obsessed with the Kardashians and Paris Hilton (in the vein of Jon Hamm), RiRi kept things simple. She quickly replied, “That’s dope. We need more Snookis in the world!”

I honestly think this may have been the first time that anyone has made that statement before. So, points for originality?
