Jersey Shore Meets Fear Factor: MTV To Put Snooki In A Ball, Then Drop It To Ring In The New Year

If you’re somehow still a fan of Jersey Shore, you’ll be tickled to hear that MTV is planning to have Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi climb into a ball that will then be lowered into Times Square on New Year’s Eve. If you, like most sane people, are over Jersey Shore, we’re sorry if you just felt a part of your soul die as you were reading that last sentence.

Snooki’s wild ride will be part of MTV’s annual New Year’s Bash, a glamorous evening also set to feature rapper Flo Rida, DJ Pauly D, and published author Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino:

It wouldn’t be a New Year’s celebration without some serious fist-pumping, so the Sitch and other “Jersey Shore” castmembers will help lead the crowd in a fist-pumping frenzy in an attempt to break a Guinness World Record.

In addition to two songs from Flo Rida, the live, hour-long show will feature a celebration of the top entertainment stories of the year, with comedians and celebrities offering their own unique takes on the music, TV shows, Internet happenings, relationships and, yes, douche bags who made 2010 an unforgettable year.

You’ve got to feel a little bad for the five people that have been lumped together as “other Jersey Shore castmembers.” How many male heads must JWoww rip off before she gets some respect?
