I am unpredictable,” Kelly told Harper’s Bazaar for its August issue, adding, “I’m not in therapy.” She also told the mag that she’s not sorry for appearing on the Bravo show. “I don’t have any regrets. I’m glad I went on ‘Housewives’ because the show has made me more known…You say ‘crazy Kelly,’ that search engine’s going to go bananas, but if you say ‘sweet Kelly,’ it’s going to go nowhere,” the reality star said of her Google hits. According to the mag, an online search for “crazy Kelly” will get you 11.9 million websites to choose from – and now… one more!

Is Snooki Retiring Her Poof?: Is “Jersey Shore’s” Snooki done with her signature ‘do? “I haven’t worn the poof in awhile,” Snooki told E! Online’s Marc Malkin on Monday. “To be honest with you, I’m getting tired of it. I’ve been wearing it since I was 16, and now everyone expects me to wear the poof. I just don’t want to be predictable with my hair and the poof. I want to be different. That’s why I’ve started to do the tease, do the curl and pretty much just a different look.” What about a blonde Snooki? “Ew, no!” she said – reportedly squealing at the thought. “I am not a blonde. I may act like one, but I’m no blonde!” As long as she still keeps a pickle and juiced up gorilla nearby, we’re 100% Team Snooki!
