Snooki Releases a Headphone Line!

Posted by  on

Snooki unveils Snooki by Nicole Polizzi at 2013 CES

Dr. Dre, watch out because you have competition and she is fierce.  Jersey Shore star, Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi comes out with a new headphone line, in collaboration with iHip, which also creates iPhone accessories. Snooki describes her headphone line to Mashable as ‘fun and fashionable’ just like her:

“My line features accessories you can clip on to headphones, so you can change them as much as you want. I wanted my headphones to be like me — fun and fashionable — and something I would definitely wear. I love bows, feathers and cheetah print, so I made sure to include them.”

The line consists of headband-like headphones adorned with huge bows and flowers and feathers, which like she said, embodies ‘Snooki’. And get this: they’re not bad at all! For the inner-ear buds, Snooki features earring-like embellishments to bring out the woman in you. About the heavily stylized headphones, Snooki says:

“My style is very self-explanatory. I like bling-bling, I like bows, I like animal print, I like feathers.”

And she’s the only one who can get away with it.

Will you be getting Snooki’s headphones?

Kim Kardashian Doesn’t Want to be STILL Married When She Gives Birth

Posted by  on

Kim Kardashian rings in the New Year at 1 OAK Nightclub at The Mirage Hotel and Casino

Kim Kardashian might be enjoying motherhood, however she still has unresolved issues regarding her marriage to basketball pro, Kris Humphries. Word is, the reality TV queen is ‘frustrated and angry’ towards her er… husband, because she feels that he is putting her in the spot for having a baby with another man while still married to him.

Please excuse our slowness in digesting this, but isn’t this the truth?

Anyway, TMZ reports that Kim doesn’t want to be still legally bound to Kris Humphries when she gives birth to Kanye West’s child. So will she marry Kanye? Nope, she said she doesn’t feel the need to. Meanwhile Kris also hasn’t walked away from Kim due to the big attorney fees and Kim’s demand for him to settle her lawyer’s bills because she thinks his legal challenge is ‘bogus.’

We really think Kim Kardashian should NEVER quit reality TV because even the best soap opera couldn’t top this saga.

Beyonce to Become H&M’s Newest Star?

Posted by  on

Beyonce

Superstar Beyonce was spotted in the Bahamas doing a photo shoot. Fans speculated that the singer was doing the newest ad for H&M, as she was wearing a tropical-print bustier that looked so H&M, sitting on a pink beach chair. The rumors hit the internet via Twitter on Thursday, and almost got confirmation from one of Beyonce’s dancers who tweeted:

“First day of trial in the Bahamas! H&M all set… go!”

If only the tweet hasn’t been deleted, we might not be THIS suspicious. It’s also reported that H&M reps haven’t sent out any confirmation or denial about the photo shoot and the rumors.

So, Beyonce for H&M: should happen or not in a million years? Spill!

Snooki Wants Another Baby!

Posted by  on

The season finale of "The X Factor"

You’d think she’s be done with one kid, but nope.  Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi says she wants another baby.  The former Jersey Shore star gave birth to baby Lorenzo four months ago, and she’s already talking about adding to the population of Jersey Shore!

Snooki tells Cosmopolitan.com:

“I already want another baby. [Fiancé] Jionni [LaValle] and I are building our house right now, but once it’s built, then we’re going to pop them out.”

Well here’s news for you, Snooki, you’re not the only one ready to ‘pop out’ babies. Another Jersey Shore star, Jenni “JWoww” Farley, who recently got engaged, said:

“I was like, ‘Screw the marriage. I just want to have kids.’ I just really love Lorenzo and I think I need to give him a friend. He’s just so cute and [Polizzi] makes it look so easy, too.”

A sibling AND a friend in the plans. Lorenzo, you’re one lucky baby!
