Nicole ‘Snooki’ Polizzi Debuts Newborn, Lorenzo

Nearly a week after giving birth to son Lorenzo Dominic LaValle, Snooki enlisted the help of People magazine to debut the little Guido to the world.

The 24-year-old, seems to have matured since the arrival of her child. "When I got pregnant, everything changed," she said. "The partying is long gone. I'm a new person."

"It's a different kind of love that I never felt before," gushed Snook.

Fiance Jionni LaValle gave some insight about their baby name picking process. "We were going back and forth, and I just happened to think of Lorenzo," says LaValle, 25, adding the inspiration came from a child he knew from his hometown.

The little meatball's middle name, Dominic, is an homage to snook's late uncle. "I did it for my dad," said the Guidette.

Snooki has been straddling motherhood along with her MTV spin-off "Snooki & JWOWW," which she's currently shooting.

With the 2012 election among us, we can't help but wonder whether Snooki has any political aspirations, or at the very least, if she has ever voted. Come to find out, the latter is true.

"Um, I didn't vote for Barack Obama," Snooki told GQ magazine last November, " but I'm supportive of him obviously because he is our president and hopefully he can fix this country because it sucks right now."

We would have never pegged Snooks for a Republican but the pint-sized reality show starlet admitted, "Of course, I voted for McCain."

Snooki has written a book and has probably sold more copies than most veteran authors, yet has no literary interests.  "I don't read. It's not my style" she said. "We were supposed to read in high school but I never did because I just used the CliffsNotes, books were too long."

The "Jersey Shore" alum said she wouldn't feel undervalued if audiences read the CliffNotes version of her book instead of going out and buying the real thing.

"Um, they would still get it. " She debated. "I mean, some people just don't want to read but they want to know what the book's about. I wouldn't feel offended. The fact that they're even looking it up is cool."

However, Snook does take offense to how the world perceives her, along with the rest of her "Jersey Shore" cast. "They just think that we're stupid, that we have no education, and all we do is drink, have sex.

Concluding with " I have an education, I went to college, you know?"
