Yes, Snooki, Snookums, Snookula, The Snookster, Guidette extraordinaire is being profiled by E! for a special retrospective on her just happening stardom and why so many became addicted to the tiny, hard-partying diva, Snooki. Said Nicole Snooki’ Polizzi, ““Our show blew up and I never knew it was gonna happen. Cause it coulda flopped and it coulda been the most embarrassing thing in the world, you know? And I probably couldn’t get a job after that.” The E! True Hollywood Story: SNOOKI premieres on July 27 at 10:00 PM on E!.
Check out some select quotes from the episode:
“The fame is obviously awesome, but I think the best part honestly is being financially stable and paying my parents back for all the money that I took from them when I was a teenager.” – Snooki
“Nicole always wanted to be famous. She used to come to my house and sign autographs and put them on my refrigerator and be like, ‘This is the first autograph Snooki will ever sign’ and we were all just like, ‘Okay, Nicole like I’m sure you’ll get there someday, but none of us ever believed it would actually happen.” – Snooki’s friend, Stephanie Greiner
“They’d go out and the bigger the pouf, the better the night” – Snooki’s mother, Helen Polizzi
“Nicole did battle with body image issues around 10th, 11th grade. I think a lot of it had to do with cheerleading. She always wanted to be tiny and fit and in shape. There were days where she would eat a cracker and she’d get to cheerleading practice and she’d be dizzy and she’d almost faint. And we’d be like, ‘Nicole you can’t keep doing this.’ And there was a point where she was down to like 80 pounds.” – Stephanie Greiner
