It's just a little slow in Radio right now. That's why I have time to report Jersey Shore's Snooki (Nicole Polizzi) visited The Opie & Anthony show on SIRIUS XM Wednesday. While on-the-air, she addressed Radar Online rumors that she is pregnant. (Photo: Nicole Polizzi with host Anthony, Credit: Maro Hagopian, Sirius XM Radio)

"No. And, obviously, they're calling me fat, so I hate you Radar," responded Snooki.

Opie & Anthony can be heard weekdays beginning at 6 a.m. ET on SiriusXM's "Opie & Anthony Channel" (XM 105, Sirius 206). For more information visit this page at SiriusXM.
