'Jersey Shore': Emilio isn't creepin' on Snooki, friend says

Earlier today, reports spread that "Jersey Shore's" Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi dumped her boyfriend, Emilio Masella, because she caught him trying to hook up with other girls and feared he was using her to get on MTV's "The Real World."

According to a HollywoodLife.com source close to the couple, the rumors of Emilio's creepin' aren't true.

Rich Amundson says he hung out with Emilio the night Snooki first started suspecting her guido was cheating. He says Emilio didn't speak with any trash bags at all that night and he even crashed on Amundson's couch that evening.

He also claims that the girl in pictures with Emilio on Facebook is just a friend and her boyfriend was present when they were taken.

Amundson goes on to refute the rumors that Emilio was dating Snooki to get on "The Real World."

He says Emilio tried out to be one of the seven strangers three times -- two of which were before Snooki even appeared on the network. Um, we're not sure that proves he's not using her, but OK.

Apparently, Emilio really wants the truth to get out there and he can't speak to Snooki, because of MTV's restrictions on communication during shooting.

"He doesn't even know what's going on because he can't communicate with Snooki unless it's through the house phone," the source explains.

For Emilio's sake, we hope that someone in Miami gets the message to Snooks before she goes out tonight, gets trashed and fires up the hot tub with a rebound juicehead. Tick Tock.
