Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi is flipping out…

FYI has ordered Nicole & Jionni’s Shore Flip, a new original series following the 27-year-old Chilean-American reality television star of MTV’s Jersey Shore and her husband Jionni Lavalle as they start a house-flipping business on her beloved New Jersey Shore.

Eight one-hour episodes already are underway for an early-2016 bow. Entertainment One is producing.

The network says Polizzi is an interior design maven and entrepreneur in her post-MTV days, and her husband has a background as a contractor and builder.

The series follows the couple, along with their family (they have two kids) and close friends, as they undertake their first business venture together flipping houses — which between family and work is no walk on the beach.

It’s wedding bells for Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi…

The 27-year-old Chilean-American reality television star married her fiance Jionni LaValle in front of an audience of 500 guests, including family and friends, on Saturday, November 29.

Snooki Wedding

Polizzi’s ceremony took place at St. Rose of Lima, a Catholic church in East Hanover, New Jersey.

Snooki donned a white traditional lace gown, while LaValle looked sharp in a suit with a bowtie. Her reality TV co-star Jenni “JWoww” Farley served as maid of honor, while her former Jersey Shore castmates Sammi Giancola and Deena Cortese were among her 15 bridesmaids. They wore black gowns with bows on them.

The couple’s children also took part in the ceremony. Their 2-year-old son Lorenzo walked down the aisle, while their 2-month-old daughter Giovanna was escorted in a stroller.

“Lorenzo’s going to hold a sign saying, ‘Daddy, here comes mommy’ before I walk out,” Snooki previously said of her son’s role in the nuptials.

The ceremony was followed by The Great Gatsby-themed reception at The Venetian banquet hall in nearby Garfield. Snooki changed into a more fun dress to match the black-and-gold soiree, which was LaValle’s idea. “This is why I love this HUSBAND…’No old sport…I’m Gatsby’,” she gushed on her website.

The nuptials, also attended by fellow Jersey Shore star DJ Pauly D, were filmed for her reality show “Snooki & JWoww“. As a sneak peek, Snooki posted a series of pictures from the big day, including the first look at her wedding dress and her first kiss with her new husband.

“Thank you all for all your messages of love and support!” she told her fans online. “We had a magical ceremony and I can’t wait to share more with you soon! Make sure you tune into Snooki & JWOWW  at 10/9c on MTV to see all the precious moments!”

Snooki and LaValle were engaged in March 2012 after dating for more than a year. She gave birth to their first child several months later in August and welcomed their second child in September this year.

The Jersey Shore and Snooki & Jwoww will give birth in fall, she says.

“Jionni and I are so excited to confirm that we are expecting our second child! Now knowing that our test results are good and our baby is healthy, we can finally talk about it,” Polizzi wrote in her blog on Friday, April 4.

She also revealed that her wedding to LaValle would go on as scheduled later this year despite the pregnancy.

“The wedding is still on as scheduled and it will take the apocalypse to change that,” she wrote in the lengthy post. “We planned to have a second child before our wedding, and will indeed still be getting married in the fall of 2014. We are a committed family that will raise our children to be the best they can be and give them the best life we can give them.”

The reality star also told Us Weekly that they had been planning for a second child since November, thinking they would like their kids to be close in age.

The couple is already parents to 19-month-old son, Lorenzo Dominic.

Rumors of her second pregnancy first came to light in February when the NY Post reported that she wanted to keep it a secret because she had lucrative deals coming her way.

Forget “T-shirt Time”… It’s actually “onesie time” at Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi’s home…

The 24-year-old Chilean-born Jersey Shore star gave birth to her first child on early Sunday morning, shortly before 3:00 am at Saint Barnabas Medical Center in Livingston, New Jersey.

“The world just got another Guido!!! Lorenzo Dominic LaValle has entered the world weighing 6 lbs, 5 oz. Nicole, Jionni & Enzo are doing great!” reports MTV about the new mom, who went into labor on Saturday night.

On Sunday, Polizzi even Tweeted about already appreciating the feeling of being a parent.

“Being a mom is an amazing feeling!!! I love my little man to death! Jionni is such a cute dad,” she wrote. “I am SO IN LOVE with my son Lorenzo Dominic.”

News that Polizzi and her fiancé Jionni LaValle were expecting was announced in March. In May, Polizzi revealed she would be giving birth to a boy.

Impending motherhood seemed to mellow the reality star, who slowed down her fast-paced lifestyle after learning she was pregnant.

“I guess [pregnancy] just made me more mature,” the Snooki & JWOWW star told reporters in April. “It’s different because now I’m not drinking. I’m usually partying and going to clubs, but pregnancy made me grow up a lot.”
