Steven Hirsch, Vivid Entertainment Closing in on Octomom Real Estate Deal

As we reported recently, Steven Hirsch, the CEO of Vivid Entertainment, is taking his pursuit of Nadya Suleman to a new level, looking to buy Octomom's house.
The $450,000 note is currently held by Amer Haddadin, who has threatened to kick her ass out for falling behind on mortgage payments every single month.
Hirsch, who has long sought to "begin a relationship with Octomom," i.e. get her to star in porn, is meeting with Haddadin to get "specifics of this situation."

THE NEW LANDLORD? Give Steve credit for persistence at least.

Hirsch has made numerous job offers to Octomom in the past and she's turned them all down, saying she will not demean herself with adult film making.
We're not totally sure what Steve has in mind here, but can say with a reasonable degree of certainty he wants to own the home to gain some leverage.
Hey, Nadya. Don't worry about the mortgage this month ... it's on me, as long as you show off the girls, and I'm not talking about your daughters.

Snooki Reveals the Ultimate Hangover Cure

Drunk Snooki. That's like saying hot Robert Pattinson. Talk about redundant. The first word is practically inherent. We know the girl hits the bottle. Hard.
It's not surprising, then, that the Jersey Shore star (real name Nicole Polizzi) knows the best way to kill that hangover after a long night of boozing.
"Just keep drinking more!" she says.

After ringing in New Year's inside...
a ball dropping upon the Jersey Shore stomping grounds of Seaside Heights N.J., Polizzi partied with boyfriend Jionni LaValle.
Decked out in diamond bling and a sparkling black dress, Polizzi danced into the wee hours, but rest assured, she is serious about her New Year's Resolution.
"I want to stick to my diet and work with my trainer," she says. "And lose weight."
So no daytime public drunkenness arrests ... well, not on weekdays anyway.
