Sour times for Snooki.

The self-described "guidette," 21, was booed Friday morning at Philadelphia's Wing Bowl, an annual eating contest.

As she stepped out in front of the sold-out crowd at the Wachovia Center, people began heckling the MTV Jersey Shore star (real name: Nicole Polizzi).

When her image appeared on a big screen, they began booing loudly, according to local newspaper reports.

Despite the harsh reaction, she kept on fist-pumping.

Later, while being interviewed by a local TV station, she was asked how she felt about the booing incident. She said, "It's Philadelphia!" and gave the camera the middle finger.

After the event, Snooki Twittered that the city was "nuts" "Wingbowl Is insane!" she wrote. "Wish they had this in ny! Flyin to chi town tonight for manor! Wheww"

It was recently announced that Jersey Shore will be returning for a second season. Shooting is set to begin in an undisclosed location in a few weeks.

Jenni "JWoww" Farley said on the Today show Monday that, "generally speaking," that's true.

    Hilarious!! People from Philadelphia are weird! I'm sure she'll have a better reception in good 'ol Chi town!

    The sad thing is that the Jersey Shore "people" are making large amounts of money for doing NOTHING! Because of that, they thing they all that. What they don't realize is that people aren't laughing with them, they are laughing AT THEM!!!!! Big difference in the scheme of life. Ringo Starr said it best when asked at the Grammys if he knew who The Situation was? He looked at the host, then The Situation and said, "I have no idea!"

  • February 05, 2010 - 2:52pm Tina

    Jersey Shore is such a waste of brain cells.

  • February 05, 2010 - 2:50pm anne

    She is fat, ugly and has No Class! The people on that Horrible show do not deserve $10,000 an episode. Philly was right to boo her!

  • February 05, 2010 - 2:31pm Karen

    Maybe Heidi Montag and her new face could join them
