Jersey Shore's favorite guidette has just announced the gender of her baby and it's a boy! The reality-star's baby bump has been under wraps lately, and besides her feud with "Tan Mom" we really have not seen much of Snooki in the spotlight. There are also reports that although she will appear on the sixth season of Jersey Shore, she will not be living in the infamous shore house. She will opt for a nice place with her man Jionni LaValle nearby.
Jersey Shore fans brace yourself for a very different upcoming season.
Unless you have been living under a rock, you must know that everyone's favorite guidette, Nicole Polizzi, is expecting. Being the little trooper that she is, she has agreed to continue to be on the show. But do not expect to see knocked up Snooki in the club. As a matter of fact, she won't even be living in the shore house this season!

Real Housewives of Orange County star Vicki Gunvalson has had plenty of surprises this season --especially when her daughter Briana Wolfsmith announced to her mom she and her then boyfriend U.S. soldier Ryan Culberson were going to elope! The couple did indeed elope October of last year in Las Vegas. This is pretty big and happy news for the family who on this season of RHOC faced many difficulties like Gunvalson's divorce aftermath from second husband Donn, and her daughter's scare with thyroid cancer.
Besides all the fueding we have seen with Gunvalson this season on her hit Bravo reality show, we have also seen many positive changes. Wolfsmith and her husband are set to renew their vows in a lavish wedding ceremony in the weeks to come, and this will be a relief to her mother who was pretty dissapointed and shocked about her and Culberson's elopement.
We could not be more happier for Gunvalson and her growing family!
