Snooki Says "I'm Up There With Gaga"

Everyone’s favorite “Jersey Shore” girl Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi celebrated her 23rd birthday in style Saturday night. After renting a party bus, Snooks swung by Brother Jimmy’s for a southern style meal of ribs, brisket and all the fried pickles - or frickles - she could stomach. (Seriously, the restaurant sent out a heaping plate with a candle plunked in the middle in lieu of a birthday cake, much to her grinning delight.)

While she nibbled, Snooki talked to Global Grindexclusively about what she really thought of “South Park” parodying her, how she still dislikes “Shore” castmateAngelina Pivranick, why she’s in the same league as Lady Gaga and, of course, how to smush safely.

GlobalGrind: Happy birthday! So Lifestyle condoms is sponsoring your birthday party tonight at Pacha...

Snooki: Yes. Lifestyles: DTF safely. Down to f*** safely [Laughs]. Look, pretty much if you want to have sex with someone, wear a condom so you don’t get a disease.

 DTF and some of your other catch phrases and slang have really caught on...

Snooki: It’s so funny. In season three in Jersey we say so much sh** that’s going to be everywhere; that everyone’s going to catch on to. I can’t give you a preview of any of the new words yet because it just spoils everything. But people saying what we do? That’s awesome.

GlobalGrind: Speaking of people copying you, you were the number one Halloween costume this year. How’d that make you feel?

Snooki: I think it’s very flattering. Obviously Halloween is a time to scare everyone [Laughs] but if you’re trying to be either Lady Gaga or me, that’s a good thing. Because if I’m up there with Gaga, like I am right now, that’s awesome. I got to see some of the Snooki costumes. I have a fanpage on my Facebook and I saw a lot of girls that look like me. I approve. [Laughs]

And finally, what did you really think of that “South Park” episode?

Snooki: Oh my God! I thought it was hi-larious. That freaking hamster…Well, the hamster should’ve been Angelina first of all. Because Angelina’s a dirty hamster. It should’ve been her. I don’t know why I was a dirty hamster, but the fact that the whole “South Park” episode was arranged around me just shows how popular I am and a big thank you to “South Park” for making my head even bigger.
