Does being pregnant and engaged mean the Jersey Shore party is over for Snooki? It could, according to one PR expert. "I think Snooki's brand will be negatively affected by her recent pregnancy and news that she is considering marriage," said Ronn Torossian, CEO of 5WPR, a leading PR agency." While the pint-size "meatball" hasn't actually confirmed she's preggers, she has been seen walking around with a new rock from her fiancé Jionni LaValle. MTV is still planning a Jersey Shore spinoff show with Snooki and JWoww called Snooki and JWoww vs. the World. Do baby onesies come in zebra print?

First it was a "slap" then it was a "violet hit" and a "nice wallop." That's how former Desperate Housewives star Nicollette Sheridan has described how the show's creator, Marc Cherry, "struck" her. Sheridan is suing the show and Cherry for wrongful termination, arguing she was fired in retaliation for her complaints about being "struck" by Cherry. Cherry said he "tapped" the actress' head during rehearsal to illustrate how he wanted a scene to play out. When asked by Sheridan's lawyer if he had permission to touch the actress, he replied, "I didn't need permission. Permission was understood."

Joey Fatone has some marriage advice for former 'NSYNC band mate Justin Timberlake, who is engaged to Jessica Biel. "Don't listen to all the BS," Fatone told Parade Magazine. "Especially in his situation, he and his fiancée — I haven't really talked to him about everything yet — but they're both in the limelight as well. It's tough for those celebrity couples. It's really hard." Fatone has been married to his wife since 2004. Think there will be an *NYSNC reunion at the wedding?!
