Snooki knows her days on Jersey Shore are numbered.
Though she and her MTV castmates will shoot their fourth season in Italy this spring, the 23-year-old New York native tells the new issue of Rolling Stone (on stands now) she's already devised a plan to extend her 15 minutes of fame.

"When Jersey Shore ends I'm going to do more spinoffs," she tells the mag. "If MTV doesn't want them, another network will be, like, 'What does Snooki do now?' or 'Snooki's getting married!' What I'd like is to turn out like Jessica Simpson, with her whole brand. She makes millions. I'm trying to build an empire, because after this I can't get a normal job. I mean, how do I go and sit behind a desk?"

Not that her stardom shows any signs of slowing down: more than 8.5 million viewers tune in each week to watch America's No. 1 party girl get rowdy with her costars (including Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino and Jenni "JWoww" Farley).
Still, Snooki (real name: Nicole Polizzi) admits that like some of her critics, she's growing tired of her wild ways.
"If I do something stupid, which is pretty much the whole time, I hate it. Obviously, they're only going to put the good stuff in, and the good stuff is us drunk, so all I'm seeing is me drunk and falling down," she explains. "That's how I am when I party. But some of the stuff I do is, like, 'Really, Nicole?' I look like a freakin' alcoholic. I'm like, 'You're sweating, your makeup is running, you look gross.' I just look like sh*t."
According to the self-proclaimed "Princess of Poughkeepsie," being followed by cameras 24/7 only adds to her desire to let loose.

"It messes with your head. That's why we go crazy. That's why we fight with each other. That's why we drink," Snooki tells Rolling Stone. "We're living in a house for two months with that sh*t. We can't have cellphones, TV, radio or the Internet. If the president died, we'd have no idea. There's no normalcy. It's just like prison, with cameras."

12Somewhere a Pygmy village is missing its Idiot!!!!!~
Be like J.S………She has a better chance of being picked up by the Miami Heat!!!!!!
a short little pig she is
She's not saying she wants to be the next Jessica Simpson, she's saying she wants to turn out like Jessica Simpson. Read the story before you attack this girl. They're all talentless on Jersey Shore, but now have public notoriety. Just like the Kimora Lee Simmons. Had no idea who she was until her show.
Jessica got her START by SINGING!! NOT BY TRASH TV!! Huge difference there!
What? Turn out like (gorgeous) Jessica S.?! What she really needs is to hide her ugly face (she IS ugly) behind a desk, not drunk hopefully. What a joke.
If I hadn't cancelled my Rolling Stone subscription, this would have done it. They really sold their soul.
Snooki wants to be the next Jessica Simpson. Whos is she kidding. Jessica has way better brains in her head than Snooki. Jessica has a way better business sense. Also Jessica doesnt get arrested for public drunkness. Snooki does. Not good 2 build an empire. Snooki will never have an empire like Jessica Simpson.
Big boobs, low IQ, she's halfway there!
Absolutely LOVE the Rolling Stone cover! It's perfect! I'm not going to put Snooki down. Many of us, in our college years, sampled many different brands of 'train wreck' activities involving over-indulgence and throwing all caution to the wind. I did... then I grew up. I'm going to wish Miss Snooki strength and fortitude to forge ahead and become a positive and successful individual. I believe that she does have potential and deserves the chance and opportunity to prove it and benefit from it.
Agree
GROSS, Jessica Simpson should be highly offended, dream on snooki!
