Is Snooki pregnant?

That’s the rumor on the set of Jersey Shore. According to new reports, everyone’s favorite Jerseylicious diva is expecting, but is the celebrity gossip true? Although she has publicly denied her pregnancy, sources told The New York Post that Jersey Shore guidette Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi is three months pregnant by her boyfriend Jionni LaValle. They have even gone on to say that the reality star has already brokered a deal to officially break the news with Us Weekly.

Star reported a few weeks ago that Snooki was pregnant but had told “only her close friends and family.”
In earlier interviews on both Good Morning America and Live! with Kelly, Snooki denied being pregnant.  She went on GMA earlier in February to tell Lara Spencer, “I definitely do want kids, but I’m not pregnant… Being pregnant should be a real thing and a happy thing, and I’m not.” During her Live! with Kelly appearance, Snooki suspiciously skipped a stunt that had Kelly Ripa and Jenni “JWoww” Farley popping balloons between them by smashing their tummies together.

“MTV went into crisis mode after they found out,” said a source. “They’re trying to hide it because it would greatly affect the creative direction of the show. ” The spin-off featuring Snooki and BFF JWoww just begun taping and focuses on the ladies’ relationship as friends and roommates. Since then, Snooki has started filming her new show in Jersey City. Photos taken on the set show her carrying large bags to hide her belly.

A rep for MTV said the network “doesn’t comment on series in production.” Polizzi’s rep declined to comment.

What do you think, collegiettes? If she is pregnant, how will this affect the show? Share in the comments!
