Image Credit: Bob Charlotte/PR PhotosIt was too good (or bad) to believe: Jersey Shore star Snooki will not ring in the New Year on MTV from inside a ball descending at midnight in Times Square (first reported by PopEater). In a statement to EW, the Times Square Alliance and Countdown Entertainment, co-producers of Times Square New Year’s Eve, confirm the stunt is a no-go: “It was never intended or requested for Snooki to be in the actual New Year’s Eve Ball in Times Square. The request to have her in a separate ball on a set-back roof came too late and was too impractical to fit in to our outdoor events.” MTV has not responded to EW’s request for comment on whether it’s seeking a new location for its ball, or if the idea itself has been dropped.

They can always drop a ball on Snooki!
Dorothy already dropped a house on her sister.
lol echo. What a comment, as well as a few other that are hilarious. I have to admit she’s not the ideal woman a guy would want to date.
Thank God the producers came to their senses. Times Square New Year’s Eve should in no way be upstaged by Snooki.
I’d like to see her in a bukkake film.
Hilarious! Score!
In other words, she was too fat.
I’m willing to bet that there will still be plenty of balls dropping on Snookie this New year’s Eve
WIN!!
bummer.
Wow, that chick is fugly…
paper bag….
Pretty much everything about her is repulsive. Looks like a bowling ball.
Am I the only one that really loved this idea? Snooki forever!
snooki is that you?
Thank God–I would not want to start the New year with that cheap, stupid woman
Maybe there is a god?
What a piece of monkey crap this woman is…the less we see of this douchebag, the better! She belongs in jail!
oh thank you god, xenu, allah, buddha, hell even tom cruise that this moron will not be there to ring in the new years with stupid untalented moron, now if only we can her and that other moron shot into space where the shuttle explodes.
The Waterford crystal ball that will drop on New Years is lighter than her…
hehehehe….stupid oompa loompa…one of the ugliest un-deserving pieces of trash to ever be given money and be shown to the world…me farting deserves more money than tramp..maybe michael vick will let her play with some of his dogs….
IT’S A CHRISTMAS MIRACLE!!! Dont give her any more publicity other than BackStageWriters idea…or just drop her…from very high up! I’ll ring in the New Year to that!
Awesome news.. She’s a natural born idiot and shouldn’t even be in the gene pool. Furthermore, “Jersey Shore” is an extraordinarily poor representation of New Jersey.
Jersey Shore is an extraordinarily poor representation of the human race. If aliens show up to see if we are worthy of knowing the secrets of the universe they will take one look at Snooki and her cohorts and destroy the planet out of mercy.
