Hate on Snooki all you want -- names will never hurt her.

"The negative stuff? I get off on it," the self-described Jersey Shore "guidette," 22, tells the new Rolling Stone. "Because the only reason why people talk negative is because they're jealous. Every time they call me a midget, Oompa-Loompa, orange, they're just jealous. It makes me want to be more ridiculous and more stupid."

VIDEO: Snooki likes to get drunk when getting her hair fixed

Snooki -- real name: Nicole Polizzi -- recently told Steppin Out that she thinks even some of her MTV castmates might be jealous.

She said she's gotten more "opportunities" than some of her reality show pals, but she can't "control those things. The media isn't asking for the others so they can't really be mad at me."

Snooki and eight cast members recently signed on for season 3 of Jersey Shore - and got a nice chunk of change. The Hollywood Reporter claimed they're making about $30,000 an episode -- a 200 percent raise.

Season 2 of Jersey Shore debuts July 29.

    she may think this way now, but she will be embarrassed and ashamed of herself and her ridiculous behavior soon enough.

    she thinks that way now, but she will be embarrassed by herself and her ridiculous behavior down the line.

    Does she get off on being called a "smelly little troll" as well?

    Yeah..SOMETIMES people talk trash out of jealousness. Other times it's just the truth, honey!!! Orange tans are not cute.

    I don't think she's referring to people being jealous of her looks, but of the opportunities she has. She's getting paid to go out and party, paid to make club appearances, stuff she and millions of other people do anyways. She's making more money than some people see in a lifetime. I personally think she is hilarious, she is a hot mess and you never know what she's going to say or do next. She's just soo ridiculous that its pure entertainment.

  • July 26, 2010 - 2:41pm Ohhh, yeah, I am sooo sure! LMAO... this girl needs TONS of therapy and a week in a dark room.

    yeah, and I like it when people make fun of my southern accent and assume I am stupid because of it! :) lmao...sure Snooki, I believe it! NOT!! I have 2 teenagers that I can ASSURE YOU are not jealous in any way of you! They think you are foolish, stupid little girl that has no morals and would sell your own oompa looompa soul for the almighty dollar! Go blow your smoke up someone elses butt that actually is ignorant enough to believe that what the public is saying about you is not hurtful! If you were my child, I would not claim to even know you! You area little orange oompa looompa tramp! DISGUSTING!

    Rachel, you are dumber than a box of rocks. Posting a comment does not mean people are "involved" in her life. If you don't like the varied comments, get off the boards! You're comment is no better than anyone else's. I bet a million dollars your friend's with Snooki. That's why your reaction is extreme.

  • July 25, 2010 - 2:42am JAWs

    I love how Us Weakly (the PR machine pretending to be entertainment jounalism) is pretending that "the worse" insult Snooki gets is being refered to as an "oompa-loompa" instead of, say, an "untalented useless hoe"

  • July 25, 2010 - 1:32am Rachel

    You people are sad, 1st off that fact that you get evolved is some strangers life just goes to show that you have no friggin life's! 2nd, how are you gonna call this chick fat?? She's not fat at all, are you all a bunch of brainwashed sheep brainwashed my media? You consider a girl or normal body weight to be fat? You people are pathetic.

    It has nothing to do with jealousy. Take away the orange and the attitude and you still look like a Oompa Loompa. Why would anyone be jealous of that.

  • July 24, 2010 - 10:47pm No, we just dont like you. End of story!

    Is she trying to be the female Spencer Pratt?

    Wow... I was not aware that everyone is jealous of a druken cow. Talk about a delusional "guidette" who acts like a fool in front of the camera, especially when alcohol is present.

  • July 24, 2010 - 4:51pm Lisa

    Laughing my a*s off ;) Jealous?? Not in a thousand years honey. You are a short, fat, orange, ugly bi*ch with a really bad attitude whose ego is bigger than the world. Nothing I'd ever be jealous of. Get over yourself.

  • July 24, 2010 - 2:22pm Jayne

    She has some real good self-esteem to not let it get to her. It's okay being short. BUT she NEEDS to lay off the fake and bake. Be tan but not THAT tan. Be a soft orange not like a freaking red-orange

    I've admired Mel ever since I saw him in 1982's The Road Warrior, where he played Mad Max, a loner whose family had been murdered by a bunch of psychotic bikers in the first Max film, and, a burnt-out shell of his former self, roams the Australian outback in search of gasoline, lacking any real purpose, until he reluctantly helps a band of humans outrace and outwit the trash of the desert, the "dogs of war", led by the fallout-scarred Lord Humungus. This is a character I deeply identify with, and it's sad that this sense of isolation has spilled over into Mel's personal life. If Mel didn't spout the "N" word, he could call buddy Danny Glover of Lethal Weapon fame. I think Mel should pal up with Sylvester Stallone! You can bet that Sly has his share of dark issues, his demons, as well, but Sly chooses to channel them into a healthy outlet, his workout routine! A few weeks in the gym with Sly would improve Mel's outlook and his physical health! Mel would give up the smokes and the booze, and would have a healthy outlet for channeling his anger. Then, when it comes to interacting with the ladies, he'd be a bit more calm, mellow, serene and civil.
