It’s been a long time since we have discussed appearance fees for celebrities considering that club owners practically pay to not have Paris or Lindsay come to their venues anymore. Well now we have a classier bunch of pseudo celebrities from New Jersey. Mtv’s The Jersey Shore, kids are pulling in some profits for the pockets.
Who would you pay for? Is it extra if you don’t want them to speak? Clearly, the guys are better seen and not heard and the girls… do we really even care?
“We get the most requests for Mike (aka The Situation) and Pauly D,” Michael Schweiger of CEG Talent told me. “They’re $7,500 per person.”
That fee doesn’t include their hotel rooms, as well as air and ground transportation costs, which also need to be covered by the requester.
They’re not just being asked to show up at clubs and parties, either. Schweiger says just last week, one girl requested to have Pauly D walk her down the aisle at her wedding. No word on whether the DJ with the overgelled hair will say ‘I do’ to that offer, but she offered “loads of money,” according to Schweiger.
If you’re on a budget, there’s cheaper castmembers you might be able to afford…
Secondary players like Ronnie and Vinnie are about $3,500 per person, while Jenni “J-Woww” is around $5,000.
“We’re starting to see a lot more requests for Jenni,” Schweiger tells me.
Snooki’s asking fee is only $2,000 plus transportation, according to Neon Entertainment via E!.
Wait a second?! Isn’t Snooki the girl who gt straight up punched in the face by some gorilla’ish guido in that crazy bar scene? That girl should be saving up some cash for a new nose and some serious legal fees. Snooki needs to sue.
