Deena Cortese may be still be a relative newcomer to the Jersey Shore cast, but the curvy brunette is no stranger to the Hollywood lifestyle.

In response to the plastic surgery rumors surrounding newly svelte castmate Jenni “JWoww” Farley, Deena told The New York Post, that if her roommate had gone under the knife, she certainly didn’t know about it.  Adding, “If she did, more power to you… I had actually had a nose job.”

Could’ve fooled me…

In a recent interview with The Huffington Post, Cortese opened up about filming Season 4 of the MTV reality hit.

I was very homesick… That was the first time I was filming away from home and the first time I was out of the country. It was a lot to handle for me. In Italy, we really had to rely on each other, and when you’re with someone all of the time, if they start to breathe funny, you’re going to get annoyed with them.

Breathe funny, leave a mess in the kitchen, scorn your romantic advances – six of one, half a dozen of the other, right Deena?
