March 11, 2012 Everyone seems to be familiar with Snooki from Jeresy Shore. Even if you don't watch the MTV show I am sure you have heard some of the outrages stories of Snooki parting while MTV camera's are rolling. I don't watch Jersy Shore because I think Snooki, and the rest of the cast, are very inappropriate.
Few would argue that the spray-tanned, streaked exploits of Snooki, The Situation and the rest of the ‘Jersey Shore’ gang have been good for New Jersey’s already mixed reputation.
Perhaps that’s why Hoboken, NJ’s mayor Dawn Zimmer has shot down plans for a ‘Jersey Shore’ spinoff, which would’ve seen JWoww and Snooki renting an apartment in the city.
‘Jersey Shore’ star Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi may be better known as a bar-hopping, trash-talking, hair-poofing, over-exposed “Guidette” who enjoys vacationing on the Jersey shore, but she’s also a savvy and well-paid businesswoman.
And the drama continues: Just days after Ronnie Ortiz Magro and Mike 'The Situation' Sorrentino reportedly brawled in Florence, Italy, PEOPLE is reporting that 'Jersey Shore' star Nicole 'Snooki' Polizzi crashed her car into an Italian police escort.
The incident reportedly occurred on Monday and sent two Italian officers to the hospital for minor injuries. Sources added that no alcohol or drugs were involved, though Snooki was still taken to a police station to fill out an accident report.
April 12, 2011 Apparently, it really does pay to be on the 'Jersey Shore.'
According to an exclusive report from EW.com, the eight-member cast has finalized salary negotiations for the upcoming season, which will shoot in Italy.
Sources say members of the "core group" will make "at least $100,000 per-episode," up significantly from their $10,000 per-episode salary for season 2. And that's before you count their other sources of income, which includes appearances and endorsements (like, you know, Snooki's $32,000 fee to appear at Rutgers University).
On Thursday night, Jersey Shore star Nicole "Snooki" Polizi was paid $32,000 to conduct a Q&A session at the University of Rutgers in New Jersey, where she dispensed such timeless advice as "study hard, but party harder" to about 1,000 students.
As is being pointed out all over the Internet, next month Nobel and Pulitzer Prize-winning author Toni Morrison will give the commencement speech at Rutgers in front 10,000-plus graduating seniors, yet will only be paid $30,000 for her seemingly more important efforts.
January 4, 2011 Yes, there are the "What is she even famous for?" cracks and the "Isn't she an Oompa-Loompa?" lines but there's no denying that the pickle-loving mini-diva from MTV's Jersey Shore has come a long way, baby. She was dropped in a ball on New Year's Eve in Seaside Heights, NJ (of course) but today she is famous for her book. Yes, her book. B-O-O-K. Specifically, A Shore Thing (Gallery Books, $24).
