Snooki Gets A Book Deal

NEW YORK (AP) -- Yo, Snooki is working on a book.

Gallery Books announced Wednesday that Nicole "Snooki'' Polizzi, the "Jersey Shore'' reality TV star, has a novel called "Shore Thing'' scheduled to come out in January. The publisher said the novel will tell of love on the boardwalk, complete with "big hair, dark tans, and fights galore.''

Snooki said in a statement that she has been working on the book for some time. But, no, she's not writing alone. Gallery, an imprint of Simon & Schuster, said she has a collaborator.
