A Punch to the Face Makes the Cast Grow Stronger

Jersey Shore's Snooki is gaining ground as a recognizable one-name personality, mostly thanks to the left hook to the face she suffered in the coming attractions (even if MTV has promised to cut the moment from the series entirely). But the network's beehived "guidette" is quick to point out the silver lining in her shiner: "It definitely brought us closer together. It definitely brought us together as a family. We have each other's backs and it was a positive." See that, girls! [People]
