I wouldn’t be able to tell a Snooki apart from The Situation if I ran into them on the street – having never watched a single episode of the popular MTV show, Jersey Shore. But I know I am in rare company when it comes to knowing all about this latest crop of reality stars turned into instant celebrities.
Long-time celebrities such as Kanye West and David Beckham reportedly are huge fans of these reality stars and per the cast in the video below, each of those two celebs has asked the Jersey crew for their pictures.
Mario Lopez of Extra interviewed the Jersey Shore crew at The Grove (a popular shopping and celebrity hot spot in Los Angeles) today – and no questions were left unanswered!
The cast talked about their thoughts on The situation’s stint on Dancing with the Stars; Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi talked about her relationships with Michael “The Situation” Sorrentino and the man who proposed to her and she spoke her mind on being called a “Lindsay Lohan wannabe” by the judge trying her disturbance case; Ronnie Ortiz-Magro answered if he and Sammi “Sweetheart” Giancola are still together, and all answered how they feel about other stars being addicted to Jersey Shore.
Here are some video clips of the interview which will air in full on Wednesday.

Ryan Reynolds has given an interview to GQ this month discussing lots of subjects including his marriage to Scarlett Johansson.
Reynolds speaks about the difficulty of living in the public eye while married to another famous person: “Ninety-nine point nine percent of [the rumors] is just absurd. Silly, you know. And then maybe a relative will call me and ask if I adopted a baby from Ghana.”
On trying to keep his private life private, Reynolds says: “I think it’s embellished upon. It hasn’t been some covert operation. I mean, certainly the wedding was, but I believe anyone should have the right to have a private wedding ceremony. I think if anything’s sacred it should be that. But for the most part—I can only speak for me, as one-half of that relationship—I choose to remain as private as possible without being secretive. Things change when you get married in general, but in terms of being a couple that’s in a public situation and speculated about and all that nonsense, it’s changed a little bit. I’m a little more guarded, I think. I’m a little bit more wary of having my relationship turning into a soap opera. I’ve just unilaterally not addressed it. That’s kind of been the fail-safe for me.”
This issue of GQ hits the stands September 21st.
TMZ reports that Jennifer Lopez has signed a one-year, $12 million deal to be a judge on American Idol.
Sofia Vergara of ABC’s hit Modern Family has a body most women would kill to have. But it’s only recently that Sofia herself has come to love her natural beauty and curves.
Sofia graces the cover of the latest Self magazine and tells it all in an interview in the same issue:
What was it like being a fully-blossomed teenager:
“I wanted surgery. I told my mom: As soon as I’m older, please take these boobs away. My mom would say: ‘Sofia, shut up. When you’re 18, it will be different.’ I was like, why would I want these huge tits?”
How have her feelings about her body changed as she grew into a successful actress in Hollywood:
“I’m a 34 DD. It’s hard to dress. No matter what I wear, I look like a stripper. But I’m grateful I have them, and honestly, they’ve helped me a lot in my career, and I’ve always felt sexy.”
On being a fake brunette:
“I’m a natural blonde, but when I started acting, I would go to auditions, and they didn’t know where to put me because I was voluptuous and had the accent – but I had blonde hair. The moment I dyed my hair dark, it was, ‘Oh, she’s the hot Latin girl.’ I loved it … Being brunette toned me down a bit. For every 100 roles that come out for another actress, there are two that fit somebody like me. I mean, I cannot play a scientist. I know who I am. I know how I look. I know how I sound. I’m not going to tell my agent, ‘Book me for Schindler’s List 2.’”

The season finale of Bachelor Pad airs tonight and the winner of the $250K prize will be crowned.
We are down to the final six contestants and I spoke with one of those finalists, Elizabeth Kitt, and got the scoop on the game, the house, the Fantasy Suite, the challenges, the friendships and her relationship with Jesse Kovacs.
CelebMagnet: What was the most difficult part of living in the Bachelor Pad?
Elizabeth: The most difficult things for me were being strategic, playing the game without hurting my friends, and getting myself as far as possible. It was very difficult knowing everyone in the house had to be strategic. We came in the house with a lot of our friends. And none of us wanted to hurt each other but we also wanted to get ourselves as far as possible. I had a hard time deciding whether people in the house were being honest or shady. The first few days, I couldn’t sleep. I was so stressed. All of the strategy weighed so heavily on me in the beginning, that I decided after the first episode, I would stop being strategic and just play the game. My friends and I made a pact then that we would not discuss strategy at all, other than telling each other who we would vote off right before the vote. This “non-strategy” actually ended up working really well for us because it allowed for sanity for the “insiders” and kept us in the game for the long run. It also kept us from second-guessing ourselves and each other.
CelebMagnet: Other than Kovacs, with whom were you the closest inside Bachelor Pad?
Elizabeth: Ashley Elmore. Ashley and I were on The Bachelor the same season – Jake Pavelka‘s. Ashley is a loyal friend. She is smart. She played the game safe and tried to stay under the radar. I tried to convince her to couple up – but she didn’t and obviously, she left the show when it came down to just the couples staying.
CelebMagnet: Did any one player surprise you?
Elizabeth: Wes Hayden surprised me. I went into the show not having heard anything positive about him. But, he’s a great guy who got a bad wrap. We all have a million sides to us, and only his bad sides were emphasized on The Bachelorette. He is a good guy with a genuine heart. He’s fun to be around and has a ton of friends off the show as well – speaking to how great a guy he is.

CelebMagnet: Did you and Kovacs get in trouble for using the “Fantasy Suite?”
Elizabeth: No. Kovacs and I had not had a date on the show when we decided to go to the Fantasy Suite. We are both mature adults and did not think it would be in bad taste to take advantage of the Fantasy Suite. We both wanted to take full advantage of the opportunities presented on Bachelor Pad. I mean, how often will we again get the chance to leave behind our cell phones, jobs, TV, internet and just have each other? We became very close to people in the house. And it was just a fun time.
CelebMagnet: Why did everyone on the show start calling Kovacs by his last name only?
Elizabeth: Since there were three people with same first name, the producers asked us to call him by his last name. I don’t call him “Kovacs” in my normal days off the show.

CelebMagnet: So, the question we all want answered: Are you and Kovacs still together?Elizabeth: Well, living in the house, you really get to know someone well. The situation lends itself to an accelerated building of a relationship. If Kovacs and I ever had a shot at a relationship, it would have been at the house. After the taping of the show ended, he and I tried for a short minute to continue our relationship. Then he and I talked and it was clear he was not ready for anything other than a casual relationship and I want a commitment. So, we ended things but have remained friends and don’t hate each other. But we don’t hang out. It’s hard on me. I put my heart out there on the show and he would be so nice to my face. But then when the shows aired, I heard him say very uncomplimentary things about me on camera which I found very hurtful. Had I known while I was in the house what he was saying on camera, I never would have gotten closer to him.
I fell so hard for him before coming into the house. Our relationship had started before: We lived three miles away from each other, saw each other often, worked out together, and met each other’s families. But when the shows aired, I found out the other side of what he was thinking about me. He said I had a “screw loose.” He said lots of hurtful things and I did not deserve that. I never mistreated him or spoke badly of him. And I could never date a guy who speaks poorly of me.
CelebMagnet: So, you have watched all of the episodes now – What do you think of the other “insiders” (Tenley Molzahn, Kiptyn Locke, David Good, and Natalie Getz) going with loyalty and keeping you and Kovacs versus being strategic and keeping Peyton Wright and Jesse Beck?
Elizabeth: I had no idea all of that was going on. Like I said before, I was not participating in strategy. I didn’t speak badly about anyone. I was very go with the flow. After watching the shows, I was very surprised to see how many times I was on the chopping block. I knew that Tenley and Natalie had a stronger relationship and had a girl code between the two of them. But I had no idea they wanted me and Kovacs out. I am so glad they kept us because it would have been very sad to leave before the final six.
It’s also funny because I watched that particular episode with Tenley and Natalie – and luckily, it all worked out in the end.
CelebMagnet: What did you think of the challenges/games?
Elizabeth: A lot of us went into the house thinking we had to be in great physical shape for the challenges. But a pie eating contest? WHO can prepare for that? And I can’t tell you how gross the pies were.
The kissing game – it was funny. I was watching all of the girls kiss the guys before my turn. I knew who all were in relationships. So, I tried to kiss the men the way their girlfriends would kiss them to confuse them so they would vote for me as the best kisser. So, even if the games seemed juvenile, there was still strategy involved on how best to win.
The questions/voting game was hurtful and a low blow. We were not prepared for that.
The water balloon game: Dave’s a football player. Kovacs is a baseball player. I knew we would not win because football involves more finesse. That last throw from David to Natalie was a beautiful throw. They did a good job.
Overall, we were caught off guard that such elementary challenges were in the way of us making $250K.
CelebMagnet: What’s next in store for you?
Elizabeth: I live in LA. I am open to any opportunity. I’d be interested in show hosting. Currently, I am in sales and have been in sales since college. Who knows what the future holds for me….

It did not take Ali Fedotowsky much time to land a new job after giving up her sweet one at Facebook to be last season’s Bachelorette.
Ali told E! News: “I’ll be focusing on relationship stories mostly. Some people may wonder why I would be good at talking about relationships and think it’s because I was on The Bachelor, but I actually studied relationships and intimacy in college.” Ali says she had offers from several national TV stations but wants to stay close to home. She tells E! News: “I don’t want work to take me away from San Diego right now. At least in the beginning, Roberto and I want to be putting everything into our relationship.”
Ali exchanged tweets with Fox 5 producer named Raha who told the newcomer, “Welcome to the FOX 5 family.” Ali tweeted back with: “Thanks. I am so excited to be a part of the @fox5sandiego family :)”
If you don’t live in San Diego, don’t worry. Per Ali: “Everyone can watch online @ http://www.fox5sandiego.com . Monday will be my 1st of (hopefully) many segments!”
Roberto will continue to work in insurance and launches his own business in November.
