Snooki admits she has been an "a*****e" to her 15 bridesmaids while planning her wedding.
The former 'Jersey Shore' star is set to tie the knot with her fiancée fiancé Jionni LaValle in the near future and while she gets along well with her huge collection of bridesmaids, the brunette beauty admits she hasn't been very nice to them throughout the planning process.
She said: "Well, all my bridesmaids are my best friends that I grew up with since preschool, so everybody definitely gets along.
"We are all best friends and would die for each other, so having 15 girls as your bridesmaids is a lot, but I mean, we all get along, which is good.
"I do it to my girls, just like being an a*****e. I am more just having fun with it and trying not to be stressed out."
While she has been busy planning her nuptials, the date of which is yet to be announced, Snooki also gave birth just eight weeks ago to daughter Giovanna but her job as a mother has been made slightly easier by the fact her two-year-old son Lorenzo adores his younger sibling.
Speaking to E!, she added: "He is in love with her and he definitely is not jealous yet.
"He's more just very protective of her and always making sure she is OK. In the morning, he always comes in my bed and says, 'Good morning, sissy' and kisses her, so he is more in love with her right now."

Noel Gallagher has branded his brother Liam "crazy".
The 47-year-old singer has slammed his sibling, claiming he was erratic and disruptive during their time together in Oasis - who split in 2009 after 18 years together following the pair's spectacular fall out - which made it impossible to plan anything.
He is quoted by The Sun newspaper as saying: "As we know, you can't plan 30 seconds of your life with him as it can go t*ts up any time.
"It can be in a lift going up to a hotel room or at the side of the stage before you go out to 25,000 people.
"I have been at gigs and he's said, 'I am not singing any of that s**t.' And we've been rehearsing for four months. He is a crazy guy."
This comes less than a month after Noel insisted the siblings have been getting on well.
He recently said: "We're on good terms, as good as we can be."
Noel and Liam's fall out that led to the end of Oasis came at V Festival in 2009 when they had to cancel the group's performance.
The official reasoning for the band pulling out was because Liam was suffering from laryngitis but Noel later insisted his brother didn't want to play because he was hungover, which was disputed by his sibling.
Speaking in 2011, Liam said: "I got diagnosed with laryngitis for the V festival. I wasn't hungover.
"I do gigs when I've been hung-over. I'm a big boy. I'm not going to cancel a gig because I've got a headache.
"In my opinion, he's a control freak. He's making up lies to get brownie points."

Charlie Hunnam says 'Fifty Shades of Grey' would've been a "disaster" if he'd taken on the lead role.
The 'Sons of Anarchy' star had signed up to play Christian Grey in the film adaptation of E.L. James' erotic novel but stepped down because of his commitments to the FOX series and he's now confessed he doesn't think he'd have been able to play both characters with such little time in between.
He explained: "I was going to finish playing a psychopath who'd just lost his wife [in Sons], and five days later I'd be on set playing Christian Grey.
"I was like, 'This is going to be a f**king disaster'. It was the opposite of how I've tried to ground my career, not stretch myself too thin, and always do my homework."
The 34-year-old actor went on to explain that "there's a tendency in this Hollywood machinery to take on too much. You end up not being able to give everything you want."
He added to Men's Health magazine: "Since I was young, I've been aware that I need time to myself to process everything."
The seventh and final series of 'Sons of Anarchy', in which Hunnam stars Jackson 'Jax' Teller, is set to conclude next month.
Meanwhile, 'Once Upon a Time' actor Jamie Dornan is set to star as Grey alongside Dakota Johnson as his student lover Anastasia Steele when 'Fifty Shades of Grey' is released on Valentine's Day next year.

Universal has acquired the rights to 'My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2'.
The sequel to the 2002 comedy - which was distributed by IFC Films - has been taken over by the studios who are set to release the movie in the US and much of the rest of the world, reports Empire.
The movie - which was first announced back in May - will see star and screenwriter Nia Vardalos reprise her role as Toula Portokalos, although she has since been replaced as director by 'Nanny McPhee's' Kirk Jones.
Nia will be joined in the follow up by John Corbett - who played her love interest in the original - and previously said she's ready to take on the project since she's "experiencing motherhood" after she adopted a daughter, Ilaria, with husband Ian Gomez.
Vardolas wrote on Twitter: "I'm working on the MBFGWedding sequel; now that I'm experiencing motherhood I feel ready to write this next chapter.
"A few jaded press corps will claim I ran out of money or just want to kiss John Corbett again. One of these things is true. (sic)"
Later she added: "Re: #MyBigFatGreekWedding2, thank you for the love, yes the entire big fat family is invited back for the sequel. (sic)"
Vardalos has written the script for the project and the plot involves a "bigger and fatter" wedding than that in the first film
Rita Wilson and Tom Hanks will produce with Gary Goetzman.
'My Big Fat Greek Wedding' received generally positive reviews and was a box office success and grossing over $368.7 million worldwide.

Aretha Franklin is planning to sue the writer of a new unauthorised biography.
The 72-year-old singer is furious with David Ritz - who ghostwrote her 1999 autobiography 'From These Roots' - over his new tell-all tome 'Respect' and has branded the claims he makes in the book "lies, lies, lies".
She told the Detroit News newspaper: "There's a very trashy, trashy book on the street . . . It's lies, lies, lies and then more lies.
"I'm talking to a criminal attorney. If this isn't defamation, I don't know what would be."
Aretha is believed to be upset about claims made about her sexual promiscuity on the 1950s gospel circuit, but the author - who narrates the new book through interviews with friends, family and associates - claims the material was cut from her autobiography.
Fellow singer Etta James is quoted as saying: "I can understand Aretha not wanting to talk about that . . . Who wants to admit that you're praising the Lord at the 8 p.m. service and servicing some drop-dead gorgeous hunk of a singer an hour later? Aretha and I started out before we were teenagers . . . we wanted to experience it all. I wouldn't use the expression sexually active, I'd say sexually overactive."
While the 'Respect' hitmaker is upset by the book, writer David insists it is meant as a tribute.
He told the New York Post newspaper's Page Six column: "I spent 25 years researching 'Respect.' I see my book as an homage to Aretha's artistic genius and an empathetic portrait of a woman who has survived and thrived in the complex culture of show business."

David Guetta's new album reflects his "difficult" personal life.
The 47-year-old DJ split from wife Cathy Guetta earlier this year after 22 years of marriage and he admits the subsequent music he has made for new record 'Listen' is much more "personal" and less about "love and sexiness".
He said: "I spent way, way more time on songwriting. It's probably my most personal album. Until today I was doing lots of songs about happiness and love and sexiness and just having a party - it was basically my life, you know?
"And lately, my personal life has been a little more difficult, so it reflects also on the album, on the things that we're talking about, on the type of chords. I've never done this, because even for me it was all about making the people dance."
Despite the new direction in his sound, the 'Titanium' hitmaker insists he won't be turning his back on DJing or performing with a live band instead.
He told Rolling Stone magazine: This album would be amazing with, like, a live band, but that's not really what I want to do. I know how to DJ and I think many, many people are better than me when it comes to performing with a band, so I don't want to go in competition with amazing rock bands that can do this better than me.
"Why do something average when I can be really good at what I'm doing? I don't want to say, 'Oh, I want to be an artist, and I don't want to be a DJ anymore.'
" I spent my life working for DJs to be respected as much as artists, so now that I'm successful, I'm not gonna say, 'Oh, now that I'm big, I'm just gonna stop being DJ.' "

Randy Jackson is leaving 'American Idol'.
The 58-year-old producer - who stepped down as a judge last year but returned for the current season as an in-house mentor - is "proud" of his stint on the programme but thinks the time is right to move on to something new.
He said in a statement: "After 13 seasons, I felt now was the perfect time to leave 'American Idol'.
"I'm proud to have been a a part of a series that discovered some incredible artists and will go down in history as one of the most successful television shows ever. A true original, 'Idol' started it all. Onto what's next."
While he may be leaving the show, producers are hopeful Randy will still "visit" occasionally.
And show executives have thanked the long-serving star - the only person to have been with the show since in began in 2002, apart from host Ryan Seacrest - for all he has done in helping acts on the programme.
Fox, FremantleMedia North America and 19 Entertainment said: "Randy has been such an integral part of 'American Idol' since day one, both as a judge and as a mentor.
"He's provided great advice and support, shaping the success of so many Idols we have discovered over the years.
"We wish him all the best in his next chapter. Randy will always be part of our 'Idol' family, and we hope he'll visit from time to time."

Alfie Allen and Jaime Winstone have got back together.
The 'Game of Thrones' star and the 29-year-old actress - who split in July due to their busy work schedules - have reportedly reignited their on/off romance and were spotted skating together at London's Somerset House.
The couple - who were previously engaged - are said to have enjoyed a number of intimate dates together before making their first public outing together at the event on Monday night (10.11.14).
A source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "It's definitely not over. It never is with them - their bond is too strong. They're really comfortable together and really want to make things work."
Although Jamie and Alfie are keen to get their relationship back on track, their union may be rocked once more as the 28-year-old actor - who is the younger brother of pop star Lily Allen - recently revealed he will be heading back out to Hollywood to work on a new project.
He said: "I'm heading out to LA soon for a film, but I can't say what it is as I don't want to jinx it."
However Jaime - who is the daughter of actor Ray Winstone - has made it clear she is looking to settle down and start a family in the future.
She recently said: "I definitely want children one day. I think that's why I'm on this earth really.
"It's scary because you make yourself vulnerable when you fall in love, but when you get it right it can be pretty damn good."

Noomi Rapace has vowed to never get a tattoo because she would "go crazy" and ink her whole body.
The 'Girl with a Dragon Tattoo' actress fears she would end up completely covered in body art if she got her first inking, but admits she did once try to tattoo herself but it ended in disaster before "disappearing" after a month.
She said: "I know if I started, I would go crazy. I would end up covered top to toe. I never do things the middle way.
"I tried to tattoo myself a couple of times. It just started to bleed a lot.
"It was black and red and a mess, and then it disappeared about a month later. So no, I don't have any."
The 34-year-old actress - who has four-year-old son Lev with ex-husband Ola Rapace - also admits she doesn't do things in her career by half as she feels like "a loser" when she isn't working and loves being on a movie set.
She added to Metro newspaper: "For me, work and life go together. I had 10 days off this summer but I spent the time coming up with two ideas for films that are being written now.
"I think my brain is just wired to work.
"My heart is wherever I am - I've always been like that - and to be in the room with another actor, that's magic and pure joy for me.

Daniel O'Reilly will never perform as Dapper Laughs again.
The comedian and television personality has revealed that he has retired his controversial person Dapper Laughs after he was caught telling a woman that she was "gagging for a rape".
Talking to BBC Two's 'Newsnight' yesterday (11.11.14), Daniel said: "Dapper Laughs is gone.
"It was a type of comedy that I should not have been doing.
"I am not going to do what maybe other comedians would do and stand behind it and say, 'if you do not like it then switch off'. I do not agree with it. I don't want to be seen as that and it was a shame that it went so far.
"It was great at the beginning, it's completely ruined everything going on for me as a comedian.
"It's wrecked my life to a certain extent."
This announcement comes after ITV revealed that they would not be scheduling a second series of his dating advice show 'Dapper Laughs: On The Pull' after a petition to cancel the show garnered 50,000 signatures.
A spokesperson for the network said: "We have given careful thought to the recent criticism of the character Dapper Laughs, which has focused on his activities outside of the ITV2 programme, whose content was carefully considered and complied.
"We have taken the decision that we will not be considering this show for a second series."
Yesterday it was also announced that the remainder of Daniel's 'Full Length' comedy tour was cancelled.

Mark Wahlberg's lips "turned blue" after he lost 60 pounds for his role in 'The Gambler'.
The 43-year-old actor gambled with his health after he dramatically lost 60 pounds for his role as Jim Bennett, a high-stakes gambler who has a run in with a gangster loan shark.
Talking about his decision to lose the weight, Mark said: "I went from 197 to - the lightest I'd ever been in a movie was in 'Boogie Nights', I was 138 - so I wanted to beat that.
"I beat it by a pound, so 137. I was losing weight while we were shooting the movie too, so continuity kind of went out of the window.
"[I had] no energy, no nutrition, and the studio, there was a complaint about that, that my lips were always looking blue.
"What the f**k do you want me to do? I haven't eaten anything! If you make them red, I'm going to look weird, like I've got lipstick on, so it is what it is."
When asked how he managed such a dramatic loss, Mark told US magazine: "Once I get into it I can't stop, so it's a 24 hour, seven days a week thing.
"I stopped eating food for the first six weeks and just had small liquids throughout the day, then I was exercising two or three times a day."
However, the newly slimmed down actor revealed that his wife Rhea Dunham, 36, and their four children - Ella, 11, Michael, eight, Brendan, six and four-year-old Grace - were too happy with his transformation.
He shared: "They didn't like it. My wife was a little freaked out, I was losing so much weight. I'm training now for this other thing and my daughter's like, ' You should quit your job, you should become a body builder.' She's just being sarcastic. She's probably heard her mother say something."

However, the newly slimmed down actor revealed that his wife Rhea Dunham, 36, and their four children - Ella, 11, Michael, eight, Brendan, six and four-year-old Grace - were too happy with his transformation.
He shared: "They didn't like it. My wife was a little freaked out, I was losing so much weight. I'm training now for this other thing and my daughter's like, ' You should quit your job, you should become a body builder.' She's just being sarcastic. She's probably heard her mother say something."
