EXCLUSIVE: Jersey Shore's Snooki Hospitalized For Suspected Alcohol Poisoning

Snooki was rushed to a local Miami hospital where she was treated for suspected alcohol poisoning.

The incident had been kept a closely-guarded secret until it emerged that the show's top brass decided to leave it out of last Thursday's episode of the show.

During the version that aired, a visibly drunk Snooki was seen playing with co-star J-Woww and her boyfriend Tom Lippolis' feet while they were attempting to 'smush'.

Snooki's wild partying ways have become a central focus of the popular series, which is watched by a whopping 5.5 million viewers each week.

Earlier this month, Snooki was fined $500 and ordered to perform community service as punishment for being drunk and disorderly on the beach.

But the judge also admonished Snooki, labelling her "rude, profane, obnoxious and self-indulgent" and even calling her a "Lindsay Lohan wannabe."

Snooki later blamed a Tequila binge for a foulmouthed outburst at the cops who arrested her.

"It was a good wakeup call for me," Snoooki said at an MTV press event.

"It definitely embarrassed my family and that's just not good... My dad was very, very p**sed. He's like, 'I didn't raise you like this.'

"Now when I go out, I only have a couple drinks. I learned that I need to calm down with drinking.

She added: "It's just a drunken mistake. Obviously I like to party. I like to have a good time but maybe I'm overdoing it a little too much. So right now I'm just watching myself and I can have a good time not drinking."
