According to the Daily News in New York, fans began lining up at 9 a.m. Tuesday for a 7 p.m. book signing at the Grove in Los Angeles. Snooki book signings in New York are scheduled for next week.

Also on Tuesday, Snooki sat down with talk show host Ellen DeGeneres for an interview that is to air Wednesday. In it, according to several published reports, Snooki says, "I want to remember my night and sometimes I just don't. It sucks. So you're like, "What did I do? Why did I wake up in a garbage can?"

DeGeneres asked her how often that happened. Snooki replied, "Oh, like once a month."
