Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi, the pint-sized ["Jersey Shore"](http://www.mtv.com/shows/jersey_shore/series.jhtml ""Jersey Shore"" ) cast member and inventor of the friggin' poof, might not be the most endlessly fascinating person on MTV's disturbingly addictive reality show. (That would be Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino.)

She is, however, the only member of the "Jersey Shore" cast to interview Phoenix on camera, which means she's the one who got the scoop on whether or not there are guidos in France. It turns out there kind of are!

Yes, someone at MTV had the utterly brilliant idea to put Snooki and a microphone out on the Grammy Awards red carpet. That someone should get a raise. Watch the results below, via the Daily Swarm.

I have to say: It's pretty impressive how the members of Phoenix manage to remain suave even in the company of this particular person.

In related news, "Jersey Shore" will return for a second season! I guess my Congressman got all my letters. And Snooki also met Judas Priest.
