Meatball Makes Music - Merp, Merp
By Jamie Epstein, TMCnet Web Editor
Yes, you heard that right. Unfortunately, the orange skinned, self-proclaimed “meatball” made famous from the MTV hit series Jersey Shore, known as Snooki, has yet to disappear. Instead, she’s taken a different career direction with the unveiling of her fashion headphones at this week’s Consumer Electronics Show (CES (News - Alert)) currently taking place in Las Vegas.
It makes sense that the now mother of one realizes no one wants to watch a new mom get wasted, fall down multiple times and even get arrested due to public intoxication, so she has put down the liquor (for now at least) and decided to become involved in creating her own customized headphones called “Snooki Couture.”
Snooki’s actual name is Nicole Polizza and nobody ever said she was a genius, as she is just one of many celebrities launching their own set of headphones – although she doesn’t really stack up against Dr. Dre, whose Beats headphones start at $200. Lady Gaga also has stepped ears first into the ear buds game with her strangely shaped “Heartbeats.” If the headphones looked normal, they wouldn’t really be her design then, would they?
When asked her about her latest baby, no not Lorenzo, Polizza said in a statement, “I'm so excited to have headphones with style! I love listening to my music and being accessorized. iHip worked with me on incorporating my signature style with the best sound quality and a comfortable fit.”
One benefit of this product besides being able to jam out to your favorite tunes is the fact that the entire line starts at $24.99 and maxs out around $59.99, a price most can afford – even if their last few dollars went to drinks at Jersey shore hot spot Karma the night before.
