Snooki Sports a New Pouf

If you thought Snooki's pouf had been banished forever, you're out of luck. It's back, and it's bigger than ever!

"Jersey Shore" star Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi first found fame in late 2009 due to her on and off-screen antics, her orange-hued skin, and her signature sky-high 'do. However, over the past few months we noticed the reality starlet gradually abandoning her pouf for a sleeker hairstyle. Perhaps it was the influence of Hollywood that caused Snooki to tone down her look, or maybe she just got sick of using a can of hairspray a day, but whatever the case, it was getting flatter by the day.

Now, the big coif has returned! After taping an appearance on "Live With Regis and Kelly" on Wednesday, the starlet was spotted sporting a super-sized pouf that reminds us of an Italian mafia princess, or maybe Elvira. It's perfect timing really, as Snooki and the "Jersey Shore" crew are about to head over to the motherland (Italy) to film the new season of their hit MTV show.

Snooki, we're sure you'll blend right in...
