“Jersey Shore” Stars J-WOWW & Snooki Are Not Italian

What do you mean they’re not guidettes?!

Italian-American interest groups have been up in arms over MTV’s breakout hit reality series "Jersey Shore" Shore ever since seven guidos and guidettes invaded Seaside Heights — and pop culture — last November. Groups like the National Italian-American Foundation have been among the show’s toughest critics. So we wonder what The NIAF will think once they find out that a couple of The Shore’s most popular guidettes don’t hail from The Old Country after all.

On Tuesday, biker enthusiast Jenni “J-WOWW” Farley told Fox News Strategy Room that she and some of the other cast members are not actually Italian. The Long Island native describes herself as “Spanish and Irish,” while Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi is actually Chilean.
