SNOOKI’S GUY PROPOSES … ON A MAGAZINE COVER

Snooki from ‘Jersey Shore’ has been asked for her hand in marriage.
Her boyfriend has proposed … on a magazine cover.
Jeff Miranda thought it would be a fantastic idea to get down on one knee (shirtless) on the cover of Steppin’ Out, behind the line, “Will You Marry Me?”
He tells the mag, “If people could see us together they would think we’re a match made in heaven.”
“I want us to be together forever”.
“I could see us having children. I want to pop the question to her. If we got married, we would be the best parents around. She’s so loving and puts everyone else before herself. She’ll be a great mother.”
The guido wannabe adds, “I will never break her heart. She’s such a great girl. If people could see us together they would think we’re a match made in heaven. People think I’m using her for fame. But that’s bulls**t.”
Denied?…. SNOOKI IS SINGLE
Snooki’s rep, Scott Talarico says: “Rumors of Nicole’s romantic status have been greatly exaggerated. She is single with no immediate plans to change that.”
SNOOKI’s EX Chimes In
Snooki’s ex Emilio Antonio says of her new beau, “They shoulda background checked him. The ex-military people lose their minds,” adding, “Now I’m scared if he’s with Nicole he’ll pull a ‘Chris Brown.’”
(For What Its Worth)… Ex-Fiancé Claims Snooki’s Boyfriend Proposed To HER!
Jeff Miranda’s ex-fiance says he they were dating “for about two weeks before he proposed to me”.
Giana Gerardo told RadarOnline.com: “I had just graduated from High School. He came to meet my parents in a full suit! He’s psycho.”
She met Miranda in the fall of 2006. After a couple weeks of dating, Miranda popped the question, and then things started to go sour.
She claims she “broke it off with him because he was too controlling and way too possessive.”
The ex says Miranda “always needed to know where I was, who I was with, what I was wearing out.”
Justin Bieber Well Enough for Tuesday’s Madison Square Garden Show
JUSTIN BIEBER was forced to cancel his show Sunday in Syracuse, New York when the illness he’d been fighting finally caught up with him, but now he’s on the mend, just in time for the biggest show of his career. On Monday, Justin tweeted, “OK, the doctor said we aren’t 100 percent, but we are ready to ROCK!! Been cleared. MSG, let’s do this!!!” He was referring to his show Tuesday night at New York’s legendary Madison Square Garden, which will be filmed for his upcoming 3D movie and, according to USHER, a live DVD as well. Justin clearly expects pandemonium to ensue: he also tweeted, “Let’s fill the streets of NYC!”

Every mom and Grandma should have this recipe around for those little ones who are always willing to have a cookie. (Best Eaten: as a morning or pre-workout snack)

Staying slim requires eating satisfying snacks that keep hunger away. Key ingredients in these cookies include: Cinnamon to keep your blood sugar in check, slow-digesting protein from cottage cheese paired with faster-digesting whey protein powder to steadily suppress appetite, whole wheat flour for energy-revving B vitamins, oats for their anti-inflammatory polyphenols and beta-glucan, which along with healthy fats from walnuts promote a feeling of fullness that subdues cravings. We all crave sweets, so the way I look at it is, why not put something in our bodies that will actually do some good!
