Snooki takes a tumble

Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi and a fellow Jersey Shore cast member have been involved in a minor traffic accident in Italy. The popular MTV reality show is filming its fourth season in Florence. The network said in a statement late Monday that two cast members were involved in a crash. The statement said no alcohol was involved and no one was arrested. It provided no further details. Phone messages left for Snooki's manager, Scott Talarico, were not immediately returned on Monday night. SallyAnn Salsano, executive producer at Jersey Shore production company 495, tells The Star-Ledger newspaper that the incident was "just a minor fender bender." She says the show is still filming. Photos posted on celebrity gossip website TMZ.com show Polizzi and co-star Deena Nicole Cortese, apparently uninjured, sitting on the sidewalk after the crash. TMZ reports that the car she hit was a police car, and that she was taken into custody but it was not "a formal arrest".
