But by Wednesday Snooki was telling the story her way: "I have different priorities now," she told Us. "I don't care what anybody else thinks. As long as I know I'm ready and he's ready." |
Added boyfriend LaValle: "We are not going to screw this up." |
Away from print, LaValle tweeted his thanks, plus apologies for the runaround: "Thank You everyone!!" he said. "Sorry about that wait but glad everyones happy!! Nicole and I are real excited!! Our baby is going to be #ShortnTan" |
But that wasn't quite all from the boyfriend who doesn't often step into the spotlight. |
"For All u jealous, disrespectful haters out there, u see what u wana see on tv! My fiancé and I n JR are going to be so happy! #youllgeturs." |
Perhaps that last bit should have been addressed directly to Snooki's ex-boyfriend Emilio Masella, who on Monday actually took time out of his day to explain to TMZ that when he said, "I hope she has a miscarriage," he really meant that he hoped she wasn't pregnant. |

There are five qualities of friendship. |
1. Harmony. We are to be of one mind, not necessarily singing the same note, but complimenting one another. |
2. Sympathy. We hurt when friends hurt. The world is looking for friends like this. |
3. Fraternity. We are to love one another like brothers. There is no brotherhood like the brotherhood in Jesus Christ. |
4. Pity. If you want to be a real friend, you’re going to have to feel deeply. You’ll need to put yourself in the place of the other person. |
5. Humility. Genuine courtesy is thinking of the other person’s needs before your own. You are less concerned with your rights, and more concerned about the relationship. |
Begin to develop these characteristics of friendship in your life and watch God change your world! |
The Treasury Select Committee could make the report public as early as next week. |
The City watchdog has been criticised for “completely” losing control of a report into RBS’s mistreatment of small businesses, with MPs now likely to use special powers to publish it in full next week. |
It comes after the confidential report into the bank’s now defunct Global Restructuring Group (GRG) was leaked online and shared openly on social media overnight, just days before the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) was due to hand the report over to the Treasury Select Committee. |
Committee chair and conservative MP Nicky Morgan said: “A version of the report is now in the public domain. The FCA has completely lost control of the publication process. |
If received on time, the Committee could make the report public as early as next week after its meeting on Tuesday February 20. |
“At that meeting, I will be asking members to agree to publish the final, unredacted report under parliamentary privilege as soon as possible,” Mrs Morgan said. |
The Committee last week ordered FCA boss Andrew Bailey to release its report into the controversial restructuring arm, only to be told that “legal impediments” – including needing to gain consent from those involved and offer those criticised a chance to respond – made it unlikely that the FCA would be able to publish ... |
He said the FCA would hand over a copy to Mrs Morgan by February 16, but cautioned MPs against publishing the report themselves using Parliamentary privilege. |
Mr Bailey faced an hours-long grilling by the influential committee last week, in which the taxpayer-owned bank’s shortcomings were again under the spotlight. |
RBS has been dogged by allegations that the GRG intentionally pushed small businesses towards failure in the hope of picking up their assets on the cheap. |
'Dropin' South Side on Lamar Saturday for a chance to rub shoulders with professional skateboarders, musicians, artists and other charitable folks. |
"Guests can mix and mingle with a lot of professional skateboarders like John Comer. He's actually an amputee who grew up going to Scottish Rite Children's Hospital," said Tom Currie, art director of The Art of Skateboarding. |
National and local arists have come together in the good sport of giving back to the community. |
All proceeds from the Third Annual Art of Skateboarding benefit Scottish Rite. |
'Dropin' South Side on Lamar tomorrow for a chance to rub shoulders with professional skateboarders, musicians, artists and other charitable folks. |
Local artist Theo Ponchavelli used oil paints to create a nostalgic image of the late John Lennon on a skate deck. He was inspired by Beatle's song "Imagine" and Lennon's humanitarian ways. |
"I made it with the hospital in mind, not to gain any fame or fortune but for the children at Scottish Rite Hospital," Ponchavelli said. |
Thousands are expected to show up when doors open at 7 p.m. Tickets are $25 in advance online or $30 at the door. Be sure and check out the after-party at the Palladium featuring a Beastie Boys cover band. |

People wait in line to tour the Gilbert Arizona Temple. |
GILBERT, Ariz. — Citing what he believes will be a “lasting effect for good,” Elder Todd B. Hansen, an Area Seventy and a resident of Gilbert, reflected upon the experiences he had personally and the many others he heard about during the 25 days of the Gilbert Arizona Temple public open house and a week of VIP and medi... |
He recalled during the week prior to the public tours, he accompanied on a tour a Baptist leader of a large congregation in Texas. All people touring the temple wore shoe coverings to protect the new carpet from dirt. They were told there was no religious significance to the shoe coverings. |
“As we walked through the temple, there was a real feeling of reverence,” Elder Hansen said. |
Elder Hansen said there were countless spiritual experiences people of all faiths had as they toured the temple. |
“I think what we’ve learned is that there is so much more that unites us than divides us,” he said. |
The total open house attendance was 407,020, according to local leaders. Public tours were conducted during an open house Jan. 18-Feb. 15, except Sundays. |
Elder Hansen said he heard a lot of praise for the hundreds of volunteers. |
“The kindness in which they received guests was a real enhancement to the experience,” he said. |
There was tremendous interest in the open house and people came from throughout Arizona as well as out of state. Members attended with extended family or brought friends from other faiths with pre-arranged reservations. Others stood in long lines without reservations for a chance to see the temple. |
Local media covered the event and one news station ran a 30-minute special in prime time. |
Rabbi Jeremy Schneider, vice president of the Greater Phoenix Board of Rabbis, toured the temple. Afterward he posted an article on the Jewish News website. “We were treated with the utmost respect, and they were proud to show us what they believe to be their holiest place on Earth,” he wrote. |
He noted the various rooms in the temple and the understanding he gained about the work done there. |
The temple will be dedicated Sunday, March 2. |

The Wylie softball team hosted Brownwood on Tuesday afternoon to open District 5-4A play. |
The Brownwood softball team rallied for four runs on their final two outs to come from behind for a 4-1 victory over Wylie on Tuesday at Bulldog Field. |
The Lady Bulldogs (7-9-1 overall, 0-1 District 5-4A) manufactured a run in the bottom of the third inning and held the 1-0 lead all the way to the final frame. But an RBI double from Yisel Mendoza tied the game, while back-to-back bases loaded walks and a wild pitch gave the Lady Lions (14-3, 1-0) a 4-1 lead they would... |
Kaylee Philipp helped produce Wylie's lone run with a leadoff single in the bottom of the third, her second hit of the game. She stole second and moved to third on Lilly New's sacrifice bunt. Halle Arbilera drove Philipp in with an RBI groundout. |
Not only did Philipp help provide the offense with two hits and a run scored, she also was nearly perfect through six innings in the circle, allowing just two hits and one walk. |
But the Lady Lions got patient in the seventh inning and broke through as Ashlynn Patteson singled to open the inning. Though Patteson would get out on the bases, the stage was set, and Ayanna Clemons singled and scored on Mendoza's double. |
Another single, three walks and a wild pitch later, Brownwood was comfortably ahead, allowing Chyanne Ellett to finish a solid day in the circle with a win. Wylie got a base running in the seventh on two-out walk, but the game ended with Annie Gillispie making a diving stop at short and touching second base for a force... |
"They had us confused and not sure what was coming at us pitching-wise early in the game," Brownwood coach Jessica Lynn said. "We just kept telling them to keep fighting because it's not over until there's 21 outs. (I'm) very proud of the girls and how hard they fought. They never got down on themselves and we just kep... |
Turning point: It took until the top of the seventh inning, but the Brownwood bats finally got going in the final frame. The Lady Lions, who had just two hits to that point, opened the inning with three consecutive hits to tie the game and ended up scoring three more runs, two on RBI walks and one on a wild pitch to co... |
Players of the game: Yisel Mendoza, designated playe, Brownwood; Chyanne Ellett, pitcher, Brownwood — Mendoza sparked the Brownwood rally with an RBI double in the top of the seventh to tie the game, and her courtesy runner, Karly Harper, scored the game-winning run. Ellett kept the Lady Lions in the game until the end... |
Key stat: It came in defeat, but Kaylee Philipp proved up to the challenge of the district rivalry. The sophomore pitcher finished with 16 strikeouts for Wylie, striking out the side in four of her seven innings. |
What this means: The rivalry is alive and well. Wylie and Brownwood have been involved in some big, close games, including a meeting in the 2016 Region I-4A quarterfinals. Brownwood joins Big Spring as the early District 5-4A leader, with Snyder and the Lady Bulldogs at the bottom, Sweetwater has yet to play. |
Next up: Wylie will travel to Big Spring for a 2 p.m. game Friday, while Brownwood opens its home district schedule against Sweetwater. |
Coaches said: "As great as Kaylee (Philipp) was on the mound, there's still some things we're having to learn when you get in those tight spots," Wylie coach Heather Collier said. "She just lost her control there a little bit and that's hard when she threw amazing most of the game. I still feel like it was a solid game... |
The 80s are back with The Karate Kid and The A-Team. Or you can look far back to a woman's struggle in 400 A.D. |
It used to be the 1950s, now it's the 80s the movies are bringing back, with films like The Karate Kid. You can also take a movie time trip further back to the civil rights struggles of the 1960s and the pagan vs Christians battles of the late Roman era. Or stay right now with Excited or Mother and Child. |
THE KARATE KID: It was a major hit 26 years ago, spawned three sequels and now comes back in a shiny new version. The good news is it works. The mood, the performances and the message (“Life may knock us down but we can choose to get back up”) combine for a decent inspirational tale. Jaden Smith, Will’s son, is confide... |
THE A-TEAM: This re-grouping of the popular TV squad from the 1980s just wants to entertain. And it does, if you’re up for a mindless summer blast to eat popcorn to. The action is big and often outrageously cartoonish, most famously when the guys are “trying to fly” a tank that’s fallen out of a plane. A sequence I lik... |
MOTHER AND CHILD: Let’s celebrate a when a film brings us real characters, living out real lives and real crises. This film is a quiet but emotionally devastating example. It links the lives of three women over the issue of motherhood. |
Annette Bening plays an aloof physical therapist who sets out to find the daughter she gave up for adoption when she was a teenager. Naomi Watts is clearly that daughter, just as cold in manner and a hard-driving lawyer. Kerry Washington plays a woman who can’t have children and wants to adopt. Their stories unspool se... |
AGORA: Unusual for this time of year, here’s a film of ideas. Too many perhaps. They clash with each other and also struggle for supremacy against the sword-and-sandal events going on at the same time. It’s an odd coexistence. |

So much is wrong with The London 2012 Olympics, but it isn't the stars of the show. They are role models. |
HANDS UP! I admit that I have not always been happy about our country hosting The London 2012 Olympics. There are numerous reasons why, but here's a snapshot of grievances. |
There's the heinous expense incurred and the going over-budget, to the tune of billions, despite our Government carrying out some of the most draconian and punishing austerity measures I have experienced in my lifetime. |
Then there's the waste. We hear today that once the games are complete, the Olympic stadium will be torn down as no company is interested in purchasing it. I am still in shock about this annoucement. |
Then again, I remember the madness of The Millennium Dome - built at immense public expense and sold for a pittance - and I know that there is form for such folly. |
So what else has been distasteful about The Olympics? Oh yes, the egos. Boris. Beckham. Coe. Three people who bring new meaning to the expression 'self-serving' - and it has nothing to do with restaurants. |
Oh, and let us not forget the vile corporate control of it all. The way that sponsors have been able to dictate what people were wearing into the Olympic Park and whether it was their name on shoes and clothing. And whether people were eating the right fries or not with their burger. Brings whole new meaning to the ter... |
And don't think this one had passed me by, either, but I couldn't bear the sick irony of some of the Olympic advertisers, either. |
Whereby two of the biggest sponsors - McDonalds and Coca Cola - are hardly the nutritional choices of sporting champions. Even my teenager saw right through that one. |
Then there's the incompetence that has been a hallmark of much Olympic organisation. Now that has really riled me. Talk about embarrassing. Makes us look foolish as a nation. |
