Vinny Guadagnino on Pregnant Snooki: She's Super-Human!


Jersey Shore star Vinny Guadagnino admits Snooki's pregnancy is not something he saw coming ... and he was shocked ... but hey, he's not about to bash the girl.

“I didn’t expect it. But, obviously, I’m not going to hate. This is real-life stuff,” he said.

Vinny, who is busy promoting his new book, Control The Crazy: My Plan to Stop Stressing, Avoid Drama and Maintain Inner Cool, also praised his 24-year-old roommate’s “super-human” ability to anything ... or anyone. Just kidding.

In all honestly, she thinks Snooki will be a great mom.

“She can do extraordinary things,” he said. “In a partying way, she can drink more than anyone I’ve ever met; she can stay up for longer periods of time. She’s super-human. If she applies that to her parenting, she’ll actually be a good mom.”

“She’s like a human I’ve never encountered before,” he added.

That's high praise ... mostly. We think.

Meanwhile, Vinny is also opening up about his battle with chronic anxiety and depression, which caused him to briefly leave Jersey Shore during Season 5.

“I have generalized anxiety disorder,” he told Celebuzz. “It can be a panic attack. But what really bothers me, like you saw on the TV show, is, it can put me in a funk. It kind of disconnects me from everything around me."

"It’s just like a general depressed feeling.”

Exacerbating those feelings, Vinny Guadagnino says, was the Jersey Shore house’s party atmosphere, which he defends as more stressful than one thinks.

“People who might say, ‘Oh, all you do is party and have fun; how can that make you anxious?’ don’t get it,” he said. “We’re kind of stuck in a little bubble."

"You don’t want to be stuck when you have anxiety. You want to have your friends and family around. You don’t want to be on camera 24 hours a day.”

“You start to feel inadequate,” he continued. “Everybody else is having a good time and you’re like, ‘Damn. What’s wrong with me?’ It makes it worse."

"I made it through four seasons fine, so I was more upset with myself.”

Vin, of course, wasn’t the only cast member to battle personal issues. The Situation was in rehab for prescription drugs - which Vin never saw coming.

“He was just being Mike,” he said. “I had no idea - honestly. That’s his personality. I never say anything bad about him.”

Skype for Windows Phone sheds beta title, graduates to v1.0

Skype for Windows Phone sheds beta title, graduates to v1.0

Skype's fledgling Windows Phone app broke out of beta today, adding contact searching and landline calling to it's VOIP repertoire. The update comes just shy of two months of the Beta's introduction in February, and boasts a handful of minor improvements that should keep your calls connected. You'll still be making those calls yourself, however, as the full version doesn't yet have support for receiving calls in the background -- if the app isn't running, your phone isn't ringing. Hit the source link below to update.

We begin our recap of Survivor One World, Episode 10 on Night 25. The gang has returned to Tikiano Beack after Tribal Council, where the ladies voted Jay out. Troyzan survived the ordeal thanks to playing his hidden immunity idol. But now the gloves are off as the women want him gone. But Troyzan has other plans and intends to stick around. Jeff Probst auctions food and letters from home on Survivor One World. Image Credit: Wenn.com. Day 26 and Troyzan attempts to convince Chelsea that he deserves to stay more so than others. Chelsea tells him to ?take-it-like-a-man? and accept his fate. Troyzan sums up this is how women universally treat men, just keep them around so long as they are needed, then cut them loose. LOL! Tree mail arrives with packets for each containing $500 in $20 bills. Yankee dollars…, legal tender! The Reward Challenge is a Survivor auction. No pooling of cash allowed.
