Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi actually aspires to parlay her reality TV career into serious acting, and she idolizes Oscar winner Kate Winslet. Titanic is Nicole's "favorite movie of all time," and she really wants to meet Ms. Winslet.

Snooki had her agents contact Kate's management in an effort to arrange a meeting, but Kate wasn't feeling it (because she doesn't even know who Snooki is).

“Kate was told, but she just stared blankly and said, ‘What’s a Snooki?’” a source told The Enquirer.

Jersey Shore airs in Britain, but the Oscar winner has never seen the show.

Jersey Shore is too low brow for a classy b!tch like Kate. As Spencer Pratt and Jon Gosselin said, "Reality TV is not a career." We've had many huge reality stars, many of whom have won the most popular talent competitions, but unless you marry up, join the cast of The View, or sell your cocktail brand for $120 million, you're just a flash in the pan. Katie has important people to meet and Snooki doesn't fit that description.

Snooki was involved in a lot of dude drama on last night's Jersey Shore. She fought with Jionni, hooked up with Vinny...With all that it's easy to overlook what might have been the most effed part of the episode - Snooki finally admitted to having sex with The Situation in LA a few months ago.

Ever since they arrived in Italy, Mike has been telling anyone who would listen that he hooked up with Nicole. At first, everyone assumed he was full of sh!t, but the more he stuck to his story, the more it began to seem like he might be telling the truth. For her part, Snooki denied that anything happened between her and The Sitch, even as he begged her to come clean in front of their roommates.

But last night, during their drunken, impromptu "house party," Snooks finally confessed that she did in fact let Mike get it in. Unfortunately for Mike, no one seemed to care. By this point in the season, Sitch had been so insistent about the truth for so long that everyone believed him, but just wished he would shut the hell up.

Since he didn't get the validation that he wanted from Snooki's revelation, Mike proceeded to go into way too much detail about what actually happened that night. Apparently, he and Snooks watched her friend Ryder ride some dude for a while before they decided to actually bang, themselves. Stay classy, Mike. Isn't it supposed to be the dude who knows how to keep things on the DL after a hook-up that wasn't supposed to happen? Leave it to The Sitch to win the argument but still come out looking like the total d-bag that he is.

"I get it, I'm a lot to handle," a hungover Snooki told the confessional camera at the start of last night's Jersey Shore. She's right; she is a lot to handle, but her actions of the previous night were pretty tame by Snooki standards and her gay guido man, Jionni LaValle proved he's an unbelievable douche by taking off just hours after his arrival in Florence. For some, reason Snooks is desperate to find Jionni and make things right. Of course, her quest ends the minute she passes an establishment that sells alcohol, and she decides to just get hammered and dance instead. Good to know her heartbreak hasn't affected her ability to enjoy an old-fashioned sh!tfaced solo dance party.

While Jionni horribly overreacted JWoww actually has every reason to be pissed after witnessing the worst of Snooks; drunken freak-out, but she decides to get over it when she sees the sad state her BFF has been reduced to. With all her mature, protective behavior this season, I propose officially changing Jenni's nickname to JMomm. It's a good thing Snooki has her much more level-headed friend for support, because the funk we saw her sink into last night was a truly a truly pathetic sight. "I need to f*cking change myself to get married," Snooks whimpers while sucking down Newports. Really, Snooki? What happened to the independent loud-mouthed party girl we've grown to love? All this over some uptight closet case? Someone get some shots in this girl, ASAP.

Proving that she's the best friend not only on Shore, but possibly on all of reality TV, Jenni gets a hold of Jionni and tearfully pleads for him to talk to Nicole. Jionni continues to work hard for the Dickhole of the Year award by claiming to have taken off for Rome, when he's actually at a train station down the street. He eventually comes clean and agrees to meet with Snooki. After the world's most awkward public reunion, JiJi leaves anyway, claiming that his mom already changed his flight for him. Dude's so deep in the closet, he probably smells like mothballs.

After all that drama, comic relief comes in the form of a furniture pyramid on Deena's bed, followed by Vinny forcibly rubbing his wang on the girl (Trust me, it was funny). Snooki decides to hit the club instead of lying in bed drinking beer, and it looks like things might finally be back to normal. Then Deena reveals that she might be pregnant. JMomm takes her to buy a pregnancy test from the shadiest back alley pharmacy in the world and after a long night of boozing, Deena presumably had no trouble peeing on it immediately. The test comes out negative, and pre-k teachers throughout New Jersey breathe a massive sigh of relief.

Little meatball Nicole Snooki Polizzi's has been melting away in front of our eyes, and it's not necessarily results of eating right and working out. Snooki is also taking Zantrex diet pills to help burn the fat.

Back in January, Snooki revealed to E! that she's working on her fitness by trying to eat healthy and she was going to quit drinking so much. Yeah, we've seen how well that has worked out in Italy! Snooki had been hitting the gym and did something in Italy I never thought I'd see her do... Crunches.

Over the summer she tweeted, "As everyone's planning their night at the club, I'm wondering when Gold's (Gym) closes."

Snooki has been working out, but she also began quietly mentioning Zantrex on Twitter back in May, and is also featured on its website.

I have a whole lot to say about Snooki and Jionni LaValle's relationship, but I'm going to refrain from commenting on it, or at least I'd like to... Let's see if I can make this work. On last week's episode of Jersey Shore, Snooki's boyfriend of 6 months, that she "wants to have guido babies with," spent a day flying to Italy to see her only to leave hours later.

Jionni has a temper, which seems to be fueled by his desire to control how Snooki behaves. When Nicole acts like herself, he berates her, or he bails. He's a keeper in Snooki's eyes, though, and Nicole said that this is the first time she's been in love. Naturally she doesn't know what healthy looks like, so she's standing by her man!

Check out some of Snooki's messages that she posted after she and Jionni became the new Sammi and Ronnie on last Thursday's explosive show:

• Welp, not everything is peaches. Shit happens! Sleeps with Jionni. Goodnight tweedos

• With jionni! Suckas.

So there you have it. Nicole is "With jionni! Suckas," and if she has her way, they'll get married and have cute, tan babies via C-section. I wonder if Jionni would have anything to do with Nicole if she weren't famous?

Okay, I did it. I kept the 2 cents to a minimum, but for those of you fans wondering if Snooki is still with Jionni, the answer is yes.

Ah, Snooki blowing on a breathalyzer. It's a sight we were bound to see at some point on Jersey Shore. The only thing that's shocking is that the drunk test she took on last night's episode turned up negative. Still, Snooks plowed into a cop car and didn't have her license on her at the time, so she was hauled off to the clink for the second time in two seasons. We're beginning to think she might have a problem (aside from her unfortunate spray tan addiction).

The guys arrive on the scene too late to prevent Nicole from getting arrested, so it's off to the stazione polizia to rescue Team Meatball. Snooks escapes with some fines and a suspended license, but the really bad news is waiting for her when she gets home. Jionni informs her that JWoww's boyfriend, Roger, won't be joining him on the trip to Italy because he couldn't get time off from work. Jenni immediately calls her man and cries her fake eyelashes off, while he acts like he couldn't give less of a f*ck. And with that, Roger lost his title of Only Decent Dude on Shore. Where the frig does this dude work that he can't get a week off? Is he the world's first juicehead emergency room doctor?

To get their minds off the day's events, everyone hits the club, where The Situation likes the ratio of "hot dog buns to hot dogs." He's determined to get it in, and he may have, were it not for the fact that Snooki was left home alone, and she's equally determined to get revenge after a season's worth of ball-busting. Stalker Taltos twin Brittany shows up unannounced, and rather than turn her away at the door, Snooks invites the poor girl in, hilariously calls her a wildebeest and sticks her drunk @ss in Mike's bed. It takes a hammered Situation a second or two to put things together when he arrives home with one girl on his arm and another in his bed, but his dick thinks more quickly than his brain, so he boots the Aussie he picked up at the club in favor of the sure thing, Brittany. We're never getting rid of this chick.

So Snooki's little prank backfired, but she's got bigger things on her plate - primarily, the arrival of her boyfriend, Jionni, which Pauly D sums up thusly, "Snooki's nervous for numerous reasons. She hooked up with Situation, which she kinda told Jionni about, and the whole Deena les-be-honest experience. So when Jionni gets here, a lot of sh!t is gonna pop off." And pop off it does. Despite the drama, Snooki's initial reunion with her dickish boyfriend, is genuinely kinda heartwarming. This chick is really in love, which makes what happens later in the episode that much sadder.

Naturally, Snooks wants to skip the introductions and head right to the smush room, but because he's a closet homosexual, Jionni has to change into a fancier outfit first. The Situation might actually be more interested in Jionni's arrival than Snooki, and he decides within seconds of meeting the dude that he and Jionni have beef. Snooki finally gets to touch Jionni's "tanned weiner" (weird) and Mike announces his plans to kick the guy if he gets too close. Jionni may be a dick (a tanned dick), but this poor guy had no idea what he was getting himself into...

We're used to seeing a dysfunctional couple self-destruct and ruin the their roommates' lives on Jersey Shore, but in the past, that duty belonged to the awful couple known as Samron (Sammi Giancola and Ronnie Ortiz-Magro). On last night's episode, a new couple claimed the title of worst guido/guidette pairing imaginable - Snooki and her horribly mismatched man, Jionni LaValle.

Sam and Ron may have no business being together, but at least we can see why they hooked up in the first place. With Snooki and Jionni, however, there seems to be nothing but ugliness, and no conceivable reason that they should remain a couple. Snooki is a drunken party girl of the best or worst kind (depending on who you ask). Jionni is a bland, boring, easily embarrassed metrosexual. He had no idea what he was getting himself into with Snooks (He apparently doesn't have cable), and she's thankfully unwilling to change herself for his benefit. They're the worst kind of couple - it's not that they don't get along sometimes, but that they're totally incompatible with one another.

Ron and Sam fought big and made up big. Their problems mainly stemmed from the fact that they were both jealous and slightly insecure individuals who were unsure of how to handle the flood of emotions they felt for one another. They frequently ruined their roommates' good times, but at least they did it to preserve a relationship that has a shot in hell of working out. Plus they were both cast on the same show, so they had no choice but to share a living space.

Snooki and Jionni are a different story. Their personalities and values are from opposite ends of the spectrum. Sometimes opposites attract, but in this case they collide and explode. Furthermore, Sam and Ron bring little to the Jersey Shore equation, aside from their volatile relationship, while Snooki is infinitely more fun and entertaining when she's single. Sadly, Snooks seems to be genuinely in love with a guy who's all wrong for her. Let's hope she comes to her senses before we lose one of the best characters in the history of reality television.

Uh oh! When the Jersey Shore season 4 reunion began, Mike Sorrentino's housemates didn't believe that he had hooked up with Snooki, but their beliefs changed as the taping continued.

At the beginning of this season of Jersey Shore, Mike told Ronnie that he had smushed Snooki between filming season 3 and season 4 (when she was already dating her boyfriend Jionni LaValle).

Mike stuck to his story on the show, no matter how upset it made Nicole, and he stuck to his story on the reunion. UsWeekly and Star Magazine report that JWoww now believes Mike.

“When the hookup was brought up during the reunion show, nobody sided with her. Everyone believed Mike!” added the source. Star magazine confirms that by the end of the show, the cast was believing Mike's claims “because Snooki was just out of control, denying it too much.”

This would explain why The Sitch refused to apologize for "bringing the truth to the people" because "the truth will set you free," and 'the truth' is that Mike will have sex with any chick that isn't Deena Nicole Cortese. POTP writer Lil Payne called it. Snooki probably had sex with Mike but she was too drunk to realize he wasn't Jionni.

Nicole Snooki Polizzi has a drinking problem, and she doesn't even put any effort into cover it up. The Jersey Shore Italy Reunion show was filmed a few weeks ago in Los Angeles. It was only 11 a.m. and Snooki was already drunk.

Sources backstage told Star magazine: “She was slurring her words and struggling to keep her head up straight. There was no doubt she was drunk.”

Snooks has been engaging in binge drinking on television for the past few years, but she drank heavily on the set of the reunion show and begged producers for drinks at 11 in the morning. Producers refused to give Nicole more drinks until they were done shooting the reunion. DAMN woman!

Love her or hate her, Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi is often the most interesting part of Jersey Shore and her love of booze may be the most interesting part of Snooki. But are we, as viewers, enjoying the antics of a lovable lush having the time of her drunken life, or are we pointing and laughing at a troubled young woman desperately crying out for help?

From the start of her "career" Snooki's willingness to knock back endless shots of tequila and make a drunken orange spectacle of herself on national TV has been one of her most famous and polarizing qualities. Fans of Snooki's love her shameless fondness for getting wasted, while detractors say she's a living embodiment of everything that's wrong with America and she's at her worst when she's hammered. We here at POTP think television would be a much more boring place without Shnooks sh!tfaced antics, but the more we see of her boozy behavior, the harder it is to deny she has a problem. Here's a refresher on some of Snook's drunkest lowlights:

On season two of Shore, Snooks was arrested for nothing other than being a drunken loudmouth who couldn't locate the ocean. Let's put that in perspective. She was arrested on the beach in Jersey for being drunk and obnoxious. That's like getting thrown out Lindsay Lohan's house for bringing too much coke.

Snooki's drinking has resulted in violence. Sure, there was that night in Florence, where she accidentally kicked Deena's @ss, but the most famous example of Snooki mixing blood with her tequila is the season one incident that first brought her national headlines. Naturally, a woman is never to blame for getting punched by a man, but if bad things routinely happen when you drink, it should send up a red flag. Another major warning sign of alcoholism:

Snooki drinks on the job. Routinely. This chick downs booze at work like most people sip coffee. Like so many drunken shenanigans, the first time she did it, it was funny. Now that it's become a rarity for her to get through a day at work without getting hammered, it's a little worrisome. Snooks got into the habit at the Shore Store in Jersey and took it to a new level at the pizzeria in Florence, where her bosses are decidedly less tolerant of her tendency to mix business (pretending to work) and pleasure (getting hammered) Speaking of Italy...
