Monster's Ball

New York has had it's share of disasters this last week, including the mega-blizzard and pre-NYE decent of Ryan Seacrest on the town, but they have been spared one of the most horrific evils of them all - Snooki.

MTV's plan to put the Jersey Shore troll-whore inside a ball to drop from the network's Times Square headquarters has been nixed after objections by the group that oversees the world-famous celebration. You can insert your own joke about all the balls that have been dropped on her, but really, who wouldn't want to see a giant ball come crashing down with her in in?

As it turns out, Snooki will still drop in as part of "The MTV New Year's Bash", and the stunt will be done in Seaside Heights, N.J. "We love our  Times Square home," MTV said, "and while we're disappointed there won't be a Snooki ball drop there, she cannot be denied!" Yes, it's hard to deny a five-foot tall pig covered in bronzer.

You can thank the Times Square Alliance, who maintained the purity of their annual gala, which has evolved to lining people up in gated pens for up to eight hours before the famed dropping of the illuminated ball. If you're a glutton for punishment, you can watch MTV for the pig ball drop, as well as other highbrow entertainment like a collective fist pump in hopes of setting a world record.
