Blown-out hair, drunken fighting, and dubious romance have been the tent poles of the 'Jersey Shore' phenomenon (not to mention the gym, tanning and laundry). DJ Pauly D talked about two out of three with Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb on 'Today' (weekdays, 7AM on NBC) , covering Snooki's love life and his own rock-hard hair.

Gifford mentioned that she had given Snooki some motherly advice to stop giving herself away to so many guys, and asked Pauly if Snooki had taken her words to heart.

Pauly said she had. "Snooki's a real great girl," he said. "I mean, she was looking for the right one, but for a girl, it kind of looks bad when you're looking a lot." Pauly said he wanted to screen Snooki's suitors, because she was "like a little sister to me now." He said he approved of Snooki's current man, and was also looking for a woman of his own.

Then Gifford asked the question on everyone's mind. "What's in your hair?" she said. Pauly told her it was just a ton of gel. "You know what it is?" he said. "I like to keep my hair like, on point, like my style." Gifford and Kotb both felt Pauly's head, finding the hair stiff and inflexible. "It's not going anywhere," said Gifford. "If there's a nuclear blast, I'm getting under your head."
