Snooki and Jwoww haven't lost faith in the Garden State just because Hoboken rejected them -- we're told they're still determined to find a New Jersey location for their new spin-off show ... no matter what.
Sources tell TMZ, producers behind Snooki's untitled spin-off with Jwoww are currently working round the clock to find a suitable Jersey replacement for Hoboken -- after the mayor denied their filming permit, citing a laundry list of obvious reasons.
No word yet on an alternative -- but we're told producers are currently eyeing a number of possible locations in South Jersey.
Snooki is calling radishes on a report that she's pregnant -- claiming not only is she NOT pregnant, she's insulted by the insinuation she's fat.
The "Jersey Shore" star left Sirius XM studios in New York moments ago -- where she appeared on the Opie & Anthony radio show -- and a photog flat-out asked if the pregnancy rumor was true ... Snooki firmly replied, "NO!"
Worse, Snooki's livid at rumors she's gained weight, claiming, "Why are people calling me fat? That's so rude!" Snooki said she does wanna get pregnant one day though ... when she gets married.
As for the Opie & Anthony interview (below) -- Snooki said the media outlet that reported the story is just like one of the bullies who terrorized her in high school ... and she has a message for the offender ... "I hate you."

Snooki and Jwoww's new spin-off just hit a nasty snag in New Jersey -- because the town where they planned to shoot the reality show has rejected their request for a film permit.
The Mayor of Hoboken Dawn Zimmer just made the announcement on her website, claiming the Hoboken Film Commission unanimously voted to deny the permit to 495 Productions "based on protecting public safety and quality of life concerns for Hoboken residents."
According to the mayor -- there's a laundry list of problems with approving a 24-hour permit in Hoboken, the least of which is a local policy that prohibits ALL filming after 11pm in residential areas.
The mayor claims filming the show would result in an "unacceptable lessening of the quality of life for the local residents and businesses" -- causing traffic, creating large noisy crowds, and completely disrupting day-to-day life.
Of course, Snooki can also stimulate a local economy -- so is banning her really worth it? Probably.
The Unit claims there's no way in hell he was in possession of a powerful horse tranquilizer when he was arrested in Seaside Heights last year ... and just pled NOT GUILTY to the charge in a NJ court.
The "Jersey Shore" star -- real name John Manfre -- was arrested in Seaside Heights back in July for possession of a controlled substance ... later determined to be Ketamine, often used as a horse tranq.
After the hearing, Unit's lawyer, Raymond Raya, told us, "There were some issues regarding my client's constitutional rights."
The lawyer added, "We entered the not guilty plea NOT because that's the normal thing to do ... we actually entered the not guilty plea because we believe that based on those issues, John is not guilty."
Unit's attorney added, "We expect a very favorable outcome."
It's not often that a pimp gets screwed, but that's exactly what happened if you believe Serious Pimp apparel, which claims The Situation defrauded the company out of tens of thousands of bucks.
TMZ has learned ... Serious Pimp is slapping The Sitch with a lawsuit today, claiming the "Jersey Shore" star made a deal with the company -- he would get a $25,000 advance in return for promoting a line of t-shirts on the show, Facebook, Twitter and various other places.
According to the lawsuit, The Sitch and his brother had the right to approve the t-shirt designs, but they never said yea or nay. They simply disappeared -- allegedly -- and never returned the dough.
Serious Pimp planned on co-partnering with The Situation, hoping to make a bundle on the shirts, so they claim the greasy defendant should not only return the advance, the company wants lost profits as well.
BTW ... Snoop Dogg endorses some of Serious Pimps' products.
A rep for Situation's company MPS Entertainment tells TMZ, all terms of the contract with Serious Pimp were completed and there is nothing further to discuss.
Snooki's new "Jersey Shore" nemesis -- The Unit -- is a major douchebag, but don't take our word for it ... we got Mr. Unit to own up to his douchery all by himself. You're welcome, Snooks.

The Unit from "Jersey Shore" is gearing up to face the music on a drug possession charge in New Jersey -- and he ain't exactly denying the allegations.
The newest MTV reality star was arrested last summer at the "Jersey Shore" party house in Seaside Heights -- when cops claim they found the drug
"Special K" on his person. Special K is a hallucinogen, similar to PCP.
Unit called in to TMZ Live moments ago ... and though he admitted to having drug problems in the past ... he wouldn't talk about the specifics regarding the current charge.
When asked if he'd be open to a plea bargain to avoid jail time ... Unit hedged his answer.
Unit added, "I've had [drug] issues in the past and I've flourished coming out of them ... and I'm a complete man and I'm sober."
Moments after The Unit made his big debut on the new season of "Jersey Shore" ... dude hit the streets of the L.A. last night ... and immediately took his first public shot at Snooki.
The Situation's pal was leaving STK with porn star Amia Miley -- when the paps asked about his big fight with the Snookster on last night's show (below).
Unit quipped, "The thing with me and Snooki ... she can't seem to take my name out of her mouth ... but that's Snooki for you, she's always got something in her mouth."
And if you thought that was classy ... dude also compares himself to Babe Ruth and says strippers PAY HIM when he goes to the nudie bar.
Abercrombie & Fitch is trying to end their ongoing feud with The Situation once and for all -- asking a judge to dimiss the "Jersey Shore" star's lawsuit against the clothing company ... on grounds dude can't take a joke.
The war between Sitch and A&F began back in August -- when A&F publicly offered to pay The Situation NOT to wear its clothing. A month later, Sitch sued the company, claiming it ripped off his "GTL" and "Situation" trademarks on a line of guido-mocking t-shirts (below).
But now, A&F is trying to put an end to the back-and-forth -- claiming Sitch had no right to sue them in the first place ... because he doesn't technically own the trademarks in question ... he only applied for them.
What's more -- A&F claims Situation's application for "Gym Tan Laundry" has actually been suspended ... because MTV already owns "Gym Tanning Laundry," and the US Patent & Trademark Office thinks they're too similar.
But trademarks aside -- A&F insists its shirts are still protected under a law that allows parody as part of free speech ... in other words, the shirts were obviously a harmless joke ... albeit at the Situation's expense.
Bottom line, A&F is hoping to avoid further litigation by citing an often incontrovertible fact ... The Situation is full of crap. So far, no word back from Sitch's camp.
Angelina Pivarnick sued first, but she did not sue last -- the girl who allegedly fought with the former "Jersey Shore" star is now firing back with a lawsuit of her own ... TMZ has learned.
As TMZ first reported, Pivarnick sued a girl named Kelsey Balzafiore over a fight that went down at a Staten Island mall last November. In the suit, Pivarnick claimed she "was wounded, bruised, and injured and sustained severe shock to her nervous system."
But Balzafiore claims it was Pivarnick and her friend, Jeanine Vaiana, that started the fight with Balzafiore and her friend, Victoria Aviles.
Balzafiore claims she tried to intervene when Vaianaa and Aviles came face-to-face, and it was Vaiana who struck her first. Once she fell to the floor, Balzafiore claims Pivarnick struck her. The fight was broken up soon after.
Balzafiore is suing both Pivarnick and her friend for unspecified damages.
