Hollywood Publicist Claims Snooki Stole Her Style

Since making its debut on cable television last December, MTV's highly rated reality show 'Jersey Shore' has not only received flack for its depiction of Italian Americans but also inspired a legion of fans who took a likening to the "fist-pumping" cult.

One particular Hollywood insider, however, claims 'Shore' leading star Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi isn't the first woman in show business to make the "poof" hairstyle famous.

BlackVoices.com recently caught up with publicist Eugenia Wright in Los Angeles during Sheryl Lee Ralph's annual "Divas Simply Singing" event. The bubbly red-carpet fixture had a few choice words for Snooki and "the world."

And, apparently, hairstyles aren't the only thing the two have in common.

Check out video below.

Wright is a former-actress-turned-publicist who founded the ISA PR firm.

Throughout her 20 years of experience in the industry, Wright and her firm have been nominated for various media awards, including EURweb's Most Outstanding Public Relations Agency category.

Wright has also appeared as the lead star in the music video for Philip Bailey's 1984 hit 'I Know.'
