You sound pretty busy. What are you up to these days?

I’m currently going around the country as the spokesperson for Steve Madden. We just got back from Tampa and the weekend before we were in Vegas. I basically go with a DJ and bring a party to your local department store. We’re going to be in Austin, Tex. on March 20 and it’s going to be crazy because it’s during South By Southwest so tons of people are going to be coming out. It’s going to be even bigger and better, and we’re also going to be having a pre-party on March 18.

Do you have any dirt on the upcoming season of Jersey Shore?

All I can say is that they’re not going to be at the Jersey shore. I can’t wait to see what will happen and see if Sammi and Ronnie are really going to get together or if they’re going to continue this back and forth break up and make up story. Like on the After Hours show, it looked like they were going to break up at that minute, but later they were grinding up against each other at the club. You never know with those two.

Did you know what was going to happen on After Hours before Sammi’s break down?

We always show behind the scenes footage and never before seen footage and Sammi had no idea what we were going to show. From the minute she walked on to the set, she was really nervous and I couldn’t figure out why. That’s why I kept asking her about it. Ronnie told me later, “What a lot of people don’t know was that we gave each other a time period to tell each other about anything that hasn’t aired.” They wanted to let each other know so there were no surprises. He was really surprised, and that’s why he was so upset.

So in preparing for hosting After Hours, did you watch Jersey Shore?

Yes! First of all, I had no choice because I had to be prepared for what I was up against. I ended watching the entire season before it premiered. And I was hooked from the minute I popped in the first DVD. It was so addictive. There is just something about that show, I don’t know what it is. I think it’s the people on it. You or I may not do back flips in our thong in the club, but it’s fun to watch. And the thing about them is what you see is what you get. It’s not like a lot of “reality shows” where you think you see something and its really not. I think that’s why so many people love it.

Have you ever been to the Jersey shore?

I’ve never been. I have three older brothers who used to go all the time and can you believe they never took me?

If you could do any guy from Jersey Shore, who would you do?

Pauly D. I just think his hair would protect us through anything.

What is his hair like in person?

It is as hard as a rock and yes, and I am referring to his hair.

What do you like best: G, T or L?

G and T, because who likes doing laundry?

Ed Hardy — yea or nay?

What I think about Ed Hardy is, to each his own. When Ed Hady was the trend, I definitely owned a few shirts. But I’ve moved on from Ed Hardy.

If you were making out with a guy and some zoo animals or a grenade showed up, what would you do?

I would probably react exactly like Snooki. If I’m making out with a guy, it’s probably because I really like him. So don’t try to get in between me and I guy I like!

What is Snooki like in person?

She is so nice, she should really be “Sweetheart.” She’s such a ball of energy.

Would you sleep with a guy you met at the Jersey shore?

Probably not.

Do you not like Guidos?

No, I love guidos. I just wouldn’t sleep with a guy I just met at the Jersey shore. I would have to get to know the people around me before I sleep with them!

Would you ever go on a show like Jersey Shore?

It depends on the destination, if you offered me a house with other people for the summer, all expenses paid, and I only had to work a couple of hours a day at a T-shirt shop, sign me up.

Other guest celebrities include Keri Hilson, Tiffany Evans, Teyanna Taylor and Miss Black USA, Kristen White. The celebs will be there to share their experiences and offer the girls advice and support.

I think it’s fantastic that Toccara is taking part in this camp. Not only has BET been great to Toccara throughout her career, she’s an inspiring role model for young girls everywhere. All you have to do is look at her recent Vogue spread to see that being confident, true-to-yourself and willing to work hard is all you need to get places.
