After wrapping part of the second season of ‘Jersey Shore’ in Miami last month, Nicole ‘Snooki’ Polizzi, her BFF Jenny ‘J-WOWW’ Farley and Mike ‘The Situation’ Sorrentino have been flaunting their hair poufs and perfect abs just about everywhere.

It was no different backstage at the MTV Movie Awards on Sunday, where Snooki talked to reporters and readjusted her -- em -- ‘buhbies,’ as another famous New Jersey-ite would say.

Sadly for Snooks, the one celebrity she wanted to see -- Adam Sandler -- was nowhere to be found.

‘Even though he’s not a guido, I will take him,’ she said.

As for the guys in Miami?

‘The guys? They weren’t gorillas or guidos, so you know I had to compromise a little bit, but can’t wait to go back to Jersey.’
