The poofs were out in full force Thursday night in anticipation of a visit from one of the most controversial people on television -- 'Jersey Shore' star Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi.
"If any of you are wearing bump-its, I'm going to f***ing kill you," Polizzi told the amped crowd of nearly 1,000 people gathered at the Binghamton University event. The upstate New Yorkers saw Snooki judge an ab contest, give some fist-pumping lessons and talk about her life with her shore mates.
Snooki took part in a Q&A led by comedian Michael Dean Esther, then answered questions from the audience about her decision to go on the show, her castmates and her plans for the future.
Snooki, who is close with both of her parents, said her dad was supportive of her decision to be on the show. "He told me it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and to go for it," she said.
The Poughkeepsie, N.Y. native told the crowd she usually watches the show with him as it airs, unless she knows she's going to hook up with someone -- "That would be awkward."
Despite the drama of the current season, Snooki assured the audience that she and all her castmates (minus Angelina) are all friends again, and there are no hard feelings -- even with Ronnie and Sammi. "I love Ronnie when he's single," Snookers said. "He's a lot more fun."
And as for Sammi and the infamous note: "She realized we were being true friends. She feels like an idiot."
Angelina's exit from the show last Thursday was anything but depressing for the cast of 'Jersey Shore,' especially Snooks, whose throwdown with the Kim Kardashian of Staten Island may have sparked the latter's decision to leave. "I'm not one to fight, but when it's a bitch like that, it's liberating," Snickers explained.
The Q&A then got a little personal as she talked about her various hookups with the housemates. In case you were wondering, Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino is a good kisser, Vinnie has the biggest ... you know, and if she had to hook up with any girl in the house it would be JWOWW. "She let's me sleep on her boobs all the time," Snooki said. "They're nice."
Her encounter with Vinnie, which was shown earlier in the season, wasn't as successful as the episode made it out to be. "It didn't work 'cause it's too big," Snicks explained. "I'm not a loosey goose like Angelina."
Snooki, who was studying to be a veterinary technician before taking time off for 'Jersey Shore,' said she plans to go back to school once things calm down. She also had some sage advice for the undergraduates.
"Do your studies, only party on the weekends," Snooki said. "Unless it's a really good party."
