'Cause sometimes you want to adorn yourself, prison style.
snooki
Snooki tells us what post-baby sex is like, why she plans to keep baby Lorenzo off TV, how building her dream house dictates when she'll finally tie the knot, the unexpected celebrity she just got wasted with in New York and whether or not she has any regrets.

Getting a matching tattoo with Sydney felt like a completely reasonable commitment.
rape

People have come up to me over the years and asked me questions about James Bond, thinking I’m some Bond connoisseur, and know loads about it -- but it was a dare at the time when I got it done -- and I did win that dare.
