Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi has been engaged to Jionni LaValle for nearly a year now, but their son’s birth in August delayed the wedding planning process a good bit. But now that Lorenzo is nearly 5 months old, this former Jersey Shore star is back to business and ready to get this show on the road — all while staying true to her self-proclaimed tacky style.

Snooki shared her new winged leopard tattoo on her new Celebuzz blog Monday. She says she got the tattoo last week in L.A. when she was there for the last Jersey Shore reunion ever! *tear* The tattoo artist was her favorite, Bryce Oprandi, at the The Martlet Tattoo.

Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi was rumored to have gone into labor last night and as it turns out, she did! The Jersey Shore star gave birth yesterday in Livingston, N.J. The reality star had been busy all week filming the second season of her reality show with Jenni “JWoww” Farley.

In one of the most important announcements of all time, ever and like forever man, Jersey Shore’s pint-sized momma-to-be Snooki and baby-daddy Jionni LaValle have decided to name her son…

The photo is an old-school hint!

Snooki is never one to filter her words. She has a potty mouth and she’s not afraid to use it. Whether she’s shooting scenes for Jersey Shore or in live interview, she doesn’t hold back or alter who she is. In the latest issue of Us Weekly, she discusses her sex life with fiance Jionni Lavalle.

Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi shocked the world when she annonced that she was expecting a baby with her boyfriend, Jionni Lavalle ( everyone wasn’t so shocked when she announced it because it had been already leaked by The New York Post. The couple had met while filming Jersey Shore season 3 and in addition to their baby news, they also revealed they would be getting married. The two found out about Snooki’s pregnancy shortly after New Year’s and Jionni proposed just a couple months later.

Fans couldn’t believe that the hard-partying, panty-flashing guidette would settle down at the ripe age of 24, but she had always said she wanted to find her gorilla and make little guido and giudette babies! Now that Snooki’s got her gorilla and is engaged, will we see her as a pregnant bride?

The New York Post‘s report about Snooki lying about not being pregnant was dead-on. She reveals her baby bump on the cover of US Weekly this week, and admits that she’s pregnant and engaged (click here to see Snooki sporting her engagement ring!)

It appears as though Jersey Shore is going to have a shotgun wedding! Numerous sources are reporting that Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi’s boyfriend Jionni LaValle has popped the question, which Snooki seemed to verify herself by flaunting a big diamond ring on her finger while out and about in Jersey City earlier today.
