Sideshow: Sober Snooki, no more 'Shore'?

Please! Say it ain't so! Rumors stir the alcoholic waters of Jersey Shore that MTV may cancel the show due to star Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi's babymaking! Snooks says, yep, she and fiance Jionni LaValle have an egg under the light, and now, say sh

Please! Say it ain't so! Rumors stir the alcoholic waters of Jersey Shore that MTV may cancel the show due to star Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi's babymaking! Snooks says, yep, she and fiance Jionni LaValle have an egg under the light, and now, say shadowy Sources, MTV wonders if it can go forward with Season 6 this year. I mean, MTV official mouths say that's crazy. But . . . what would they do without Snooki getting in barfights, using people's porches as her ladies' room, and getting nabbed for boozing on the beach? She's slated to film a spinoff of Shore with Jennifer "JWoww" Farley. Well, Snooki is the main, er, attraction (?) of MTV's most-watched show. Surely they can't. . . .

Houston's will gives all to daughter

Inside Edition has a copy of the will of Whitney Houston, who died at 48 on Feb. 11. Written in 1993 and amended in 2000, it leaves Houston's entire estate to her daughter, Bobbi Kristina. Houston's former husband, Bobby Brown, is mentioned in passing, but he gets zip. No estimate of the worth of the fortune, but a Houston manse in New Jersey is up for sale for $1.7 million. The estate is to be held in trust until Bobbi Kristina turns 21 in 2014.

A double star for Bill and Felicity

Gotta say, Felicity Huffman and William H. Macy give you hope. One of our fave Hollywood couples, both super-talented, both absurdly overbooked with work, and both seem to be having a great time with their marriedness. Wednesday, they became only the second couple to have a double star in Hollywood's Walk of Fame. (The first were film producer-marrieds Lauren Shuler Donner and Richard Donner in 2008.) What's the key to Hollyweird marriage longevity? Felicity and Bill spoke together at once at the same time. She: "Marry Bill Macy." He: "Marry Felicity Huffman." Awww

On the other hand, who needs marriage?

. . . or you could be Enrique Iglesias and have the same girlfriend for more than a decade, and have that girlfriend be Anna Kournikova. Despite many a rumor, he says they've never married and don't plan to. "Maybe it's because I come from divorced parents, but I don't think you love someone more because of a piece of paper," he tells Parade. She says she's just happy to be in a happy relationship.

Bun in the oven, ring on her finger

In the now-traditional path blazed by Demi Moore for Vanity Fair in 1991, Jessica Simpson is nude on the cover of Elle, and lookin' mighty fine. And mighty pregs. She's even wearing a ring on her right middle finger, just as Demi did. J-Simp is carrying a little baby girl, thanks to Jess fiance Eric Johnson

Reality TV star overdose and aneurysm

Tila Tequila (star of MTV's A Shot at Love With Tila Tequila) is recovering after being hospitalized for a brain aneurysm and an overdose. She was found Wednesday in her Studio City, Calif. home, going in and out of consciousness and, says TMZ, threatening to kill herself.

Golden Girl and party man divorcing

In the Latino celeb world, this is a big one. Paulina Rubio, the Mexican singer/actress known as La Chica Dorada or The Golden Girl for her aureate tresses, is ditching her hub, Spanish PR exec Nicolás "Colate" Nájera, after five years of tempestuous, icy tussling. Marriage, that is. He was a partier, they say, and she wasn't having any of that. They have a son, Andrea, 1.

Tran, Rihanna, and Chris, Part XXXVIII

Rihanna and Chris Brown's current female ornament, Karrueche Tran, are mud-wrasslin' via Facebook and Twitter! Ri started it last week, posting a Twitter pic of a stack of rice cakes wearing sunglasses - not racist at all, OK?, though Tran is half-Vietnamese. Tran counterpunches on Facebook: "I'm Angeline, you're Jen. C'mon you see where Brad is at." She refers to Angelina Jolie, Jennifer Aniston, and Brad Pitt. Ouch! You will recall (who could forget?) Ri and Chris' domestic violence case of 2009, in which Brown pleaded guilty to felony assault. But . . . whoa . . . now Ri and Brown made this new, sexy record, "We Found Love," and marriage rumors (?!@&%) are swirling, according to the Star and Hollywood Life. Some would say this whole thing, rumors, tweets, posts, are just to bump up sales of the single. That would be a terrible thing to say, and we refuse to believe it.

Jay-Z goes interactive

The 2012 iteration of the South by Southwest Music Festival in Austin, Texas, doesn't get going until Wednesday, but the South by Southwest Film fest and Interactive conference is already under way. Last year, Jay-Z joined Kanye West during the most grandiose event of the festival. This year, Jay-Z will again be playing SXSW - but with a twist. In a shift of the power balance toward the tech part of the event, the father of Blue Ivy Carter will be playing on Monday, as the Interactive part of the festival is reaching a crescendo, and before most of the music fans arrive. (Will Jigga stick around and play again later in the week, perhaps teaming up with Eminem? Will Em join Jay-Z on stage Monday?)

The good news: The Jay-Z show will be up on YouTube at 8 p.m. Eastern time on Monday.
