“The Jersey Shore” cast-member will be signing copies of her third book at the Barnes & Noble in White Plains on Saturday.
The sixth season of MTV’s “The Jersey Shore” may be a little toned down now that reality TV superstar and New York Times Best Selling Author Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi is a mom-to-be. “It will definitely be a different summer for me,” said Polizzi, 24. Fans can still get a taste of what its like to be a guidette at the shore in Polizzi’s latest novel “Gorilla Beach,” which follows cousins Giovanna “Gia” Spumanti and Isabella “Bella” Rizzoli on their escapades to find hot guidos, a.k.a. gorilla juice heads, in Atlantic City. “Gorilla Beach is the sequel to my first book ‘A Shore Thing’— it's basically about two girls who resemble Jenni [Farley, a.k.a JWoww] and I, who get into crazy situations,” said Polizzi. “Gia is me, and Bella is Jenni.” …

The public duked it out at Thursday night's long and heated forum surrounding the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's annual assessment of Indian Point.
Eleven thousand jobs created by a power plant. Eighteen million lives affected in the New York metro area by its demise. Those were the main numbers the protestors – of which there were many at Thursday night's annual public hearing on Indian Point – were throwing around. The protestors were louder, or least more organized, than the pro-nuclear folks. They were also more colorful. There were the Raging Grannies with their purposely frumpy clothes and song (a gimmick, admitted one, but anything to get the message heard). Some Japanese people wore hazmat suits emblazoned with red nuclear symbols, a powerful reminder of the Fukushima disaster and the fact that Japan's gone fully non-nuclear since. As of two weeks ago, the country closed its…

Setsuko Hosomi, owner of Setsuko at Jean Claude, brings her NYC background to Scarsdale.
Setsuko Hosomi started styling hair when she was nine-years-old. Growing up in Japan, the Scarsdale business owner got a taste of hairdressing while practicing on her sister. "We had a cousin with a barbershop," the 52-year-old owner of Setsuko at Jean Claude said. The young sisters hated having their hair cut at the barbershop, so they decided to cut their own hair. Hosomi began her beauty career in Tokyo styling hair after she graduated from high school until she was 23. She then packed up and moved to New York City. She began her career at a NYC salon and started freelancing as a hair and makeup artist, doing fashion shows and other events. Let Patch save you time.
