The new issue of Us Weekly lets me know that every decision I’ve made in life so far is the wrong one and instead of working for my money I should be trying to get on a reality show then getting drunk, fighting and partying because they reveal how much the cast of Jersey Shore rake in for public appearances:
Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi
The star charges $20,000 to walk an event’s red carpet. She also has hair products and a book in the works.
Sammi “Sweetheart” Giancola
She earns $15,000 for event appearances. Plus, “I have beauty and fitness products in the works,” she says.
Ronnie Ortiz-Magro
For party hosting, he gets “$12,000 to $20,000,” says his manager, Matt Cohen, adding that he also has plans to sell his signature drink, “Ron-Ron Juice.”
Vinny Guadagnino
The house’s most mellow member earns $6,000 an hour to appear at clubs and, a source tells Us, “He’s recording a single.”
Paul “DJ Pauly D” DelVecchio
Want to get DJ Pauly D to spin beats at a bash? The going rate is a cool $20,000.
Michael “The Situation” Sorrentino
He’ll earn about $100,000 for “Dancing With the Stars”; his cologne, fitness DVD and endorsement for a nutritional supplement could net him millions.
Jenni “JWoww” Farley
In addition to the $25,000 they each make per show, her Filthy Couture fashion line helps pay the bills.
Angelina “Jolie” Pivarnick
The lowest earner of the bunch ($5,000 for appearances), she has an accessories line under way.
Ugh.

The 2010 MTV Video Music Awards take place this Sunday so Billboard decided to go down memory lane and take a look at some of the craziest VMA outifts.
20. Lil Mama looks more like child than mother at the VMAs in 2009.
19. At least Rodman rocked the red AIDS ribbon on his train wreck of a look in 1995.
18. Let’s hope Missy Elliot, pictured here in at the 2003 VMAs, didn’t use her MTV Moon Man to tee off.
17. Katy Perry was a “teenage dream” with her vintage Barbie look at the 2008 VMAs.
16. Slipknot looked slightly respectable in their suits and ties at the VMAs in 2008.
15. Before Gwen Stefani was a fashionista, she was “just a girl” in ’98 — who had blue hair and futuristic skirts.
14. Fergie‘s hat is reminiscent of “A Clockwork Orange,” but the rest of the outfit screams saucy schoolgirl at the 2006 VMAs.
13. Lenny Kravitz‘s 1998 single “Fly Away” wasn’t joking, but the rocker didn’t prove it until six years later at the VMAs.
12. How could Shakira even sit down in those skin-tight leather pants is the outrageous part of her outfit at the 2001 VMAs.
11. Jack Black is a not-so-”smooth criminal” at the 2003 VMAs, ripping off Michael Jackson’s look with more humor than style.
10. Destiny’s Child channels a Native American vibe at the VMAs in 2001. It’s more Dances With Beyonce than “Dances With Wolves.”
09. Pink — at her most, well, pink — rocks leopard and gold for a wild child look at the 2000 VMAs.
08. His eyebrows might be the most surprising part of Axl Rose‘s sporty look at the 2001 VMAs.
07. Lil Kim was as brave as they come in 1999, letting it all hang out.
06. Big Boi and André 3000 of Outkast somehow make furry pants and orange overalls look good at the 2001 VMAs.
05. Schoolgirl no more. Britney Spears debuted her biker side at the 2002 VMAs.
04. For once, Mudvayne‘s brightly-colored mohawks were not the most eye-catching part of the band’s appearance, pictured here in 2001.
03. Christina Aguilera definitely needed double-sided tape in order to avoid a “wardrobe malfunction” at the 2002 VMAs.
02. For once, Marilyn Manson, pictured here in 1998 with then-girlfriend Rose McGowan, is not the center of attention.
01. Lady Gaga showed off her many, many sides at the 2009 VMAs.
How the hell is GaGa number 1? Rose McGowan was practically nude and Mudvayne have bullet holes in their head – either of them should have been number 1. To see the full 50 craziest VMA outfits head over to the source.

Here is some news that will sure turn your stomach – The Situation, aka Mike Sorrentino, from MTV’s Jersey Shore is set to make more than a whopping $5 million this year.
He will get $60,000 per episode of Jersey Shore after bonus incentives, based on ratings. While event appearances will bring him in $1 million (he gets between $15,000-$50,000 for each one). He’s also going to have a workout video, a chewable supplement line for GNC, a book deal, a rap song for iTunes, endorsements with Reebok, Vitamin Water and a vodka company as well as a clothing line with Dilligaf.
His manager said, “We are really excited about all the opportunities coming Mike’s way, he has been able to secure many endorsement deals, business opportunities and additional television offers based on the success of the show. Our goal has always been to try to build a brand if the situation presented itself. If you are a noncelebrity on a reality show, you are given an opportunity, it’s a platform. You have to use it intelligently.”
This means that he is going to earn more than the likes of Scarlett Johansson, Anna Paquin, Michael Cera and Matthew Morrison.
All this from just drinking, partying and being a douchebag for MTV. Let me go weep for society right now.
Snooki, the self described “guidette” from MTV‘s Jersey Shore, says that she not only enjoys being called names, it makes her well used woman parts happy.
“The negative stuff? I get off on it. Because the only reason why people talk negative is because they’re jealous. Every time they call me a midget, Oompa-Loompa, orange, they’re just jealous. It makes me want to be more ridiculous and more stupid.”
Snooki, real name Nicole Polizzi, also thinks that her fellow castmates are jealous of her. She claims that she has been offered more opportunities than the other morons and that she can’t “control those things. The media isn’t asking for the others so they can’t really be mad at me.”
So remember folks, every time you feel like saying something nasty about Snooki, visualize her rubbing her naughty bits. That should wipe the smug look right off your faces.

The new season of Jersey Shore (which should be called Miami Beach, but whatever) is premiering on July 29 and MTV has posted a trailer highlighting all of the fist-pumping, steroid enhanced idiocy that will be broadcast to the world.
All of the housemates from the original are back, and the trailer shows that the entire cast was shocked by the return of some chick named Angela. I don’t know why, because I never watched the first season and won’t watch this one.
Also shown in the two minute ode to self-induced mental retardation are Snooki attacking Angelina, Sammi freaking out on her (ex?)boyfriend Ronnie, some “grenades” in a hot tub, “The Situation” trying to set a reservation at a restaurant as “The Situation”, and several other amazing scenes that prove to me that apes evolved from us.
Check out the video below, and then you’ll finally understand why the rest of the world hates America.
You know how the song from the Sound Of Music goes …. “the hills are alive with the sound of music”? Well the cast of MTV’s The Hills are not singing this song today because the show is getting cut.
Adam DiVello, creator of the show, has announced that the upcoming season 6, which begins to air on April 27th, will be the last time we get new episodes. Let’s all celebrate together.
He says, “I think we’ve told the story of struggle and of finding yourself in L.A., a lot of these kids have found themselves and have certainly embarked on different careers and different paths.â€
He also said that the final season will be more real by showing Heidi Montag revealing her surgery to her parents for the first time, Audrina Patridge dating singer Ryan Cabrera and Kristin Cavallari dealing with the rumors that she is a cokehead which made the rounds after she was supposedly seen doing coke during this years Super Bowl.
As for whether or not Lauren Conrad will make a return to the show for the final episodes, he said maybe. Although she herself has said she is beyond over that shit.
I don’t care at all about this show, I just hope that it being canceled makes these people fade away quickly. I also hope MTV don’t ruin Jersey Shore by making it all scripted like they did with The Hills.

Spencer Pratt has decided to do us all the biggest favor ever and get the hell off our TV screens because he has decided to quit The Hills for a while, to focus on his new calling – fighting cyber crime. I kid you not.
Spencer, who’s currently studying software engineering and encryption at USC, tells People all about his new career path with the American Defense Enterprises for their cyber security division and we can all thank President Obama for this.
“In the last few months I have discovered a new passion and new purpose to my life, with this in mind, I have decided to take a break from my obligations to MTV’s The Hills and discontinue filming any more episodes for this current season. Upon learning of President Obama’s declaration that the ‘cyber threat is one of the most serious economic and national security challenges we face as a nation,’ I have decided to refocus my energy and devote my full resources to helping America face this and other unprecedented challenges.
My new mission is this: To do my part in maintaining the technological superiority of the U.S. military and prevent emerging technologies from threatening our nation’s security. With that being said, I am saddened to take this break from filming MTV’s The Hills. At this time, however I feel I would not be honoring my country or myself if I were to continue this endeavor when I have the opportunity and the ability to assist our nation against these prevalent threats.”
Sadly his wife Heidi Montag will continue to torture us by appearing on the TV show despite her husband leaving. I don’t know whether to be thrilled that Spencer Pratt will no longer be on my TV screens or be appalled that he will be patrolling the internet.

Here is three pieces of news about Lady GaGa rolled into one, how excited are you? First up we will talk about the following video in which it’s obvious that she needs to take a break and go on a healthy vacation.
During a performance of Bad Romance, the closing song to her Monster Ball tour, in New Zealand she could barely stand and ended up singing half the song on her hands and knees while she swung her head around. Now I’ve been to this tour and it is pretty amazing but this is not the kind of performance she gave which makes it obvious that she is in dire need of a rest.
In her second piece of news CNN reported over the weekend that MTV have decided that they are going to ban her Telephone music video, which you can see here, because they think it’s too provocative. This is not the case at all according to a press release from MTV.
What I found hilarious about the whole rumor is that if it was true … would MTV actually think they are still relevant enough to the music world to ban videos, does anybody even watch MTV anymore? The highest rated program on MTV gets at most 4 million viewers, while since premiering on Thursday the Telephone video has had over 15 million viewers.
As for the video itself, there’s nothing provocative in this video at all in my opinion and what I find more offending is the amount of product-placement they have decided to throw in.
Lady GaGa will not be taking a break anytime soon though because her calendar is completely booked, which leads me to the last piece of news – she has just announced tour dates for her second U.S. leg of the Monster Ball tour, which you can see after the jump.

Who here watches Jersey Shore? Don’t like because I know you all do. Well then you know who JWoww is and the type of clothing that she chooses to wear, so it will come as no surprise that there is nude photos of her being sold.
The three photos of JWoww, real name Jenni Farley, are being shopped to all the big media outlets by a mystery person.
In one photo she is topless from the waist up, in the other photo she is wearing boots with a wrap around her waist and showing off her ass, the third photo is again topless in the wrap and boots.
The photos are apparently like most naked photos and have terrible lighting on them. Usually I would suspect that she herself leaked the photos but lets all admit it – she was really waiting to get fully nude for money to do a spread in Playboy magazine which we all know is to come.
Oh and just if you’re ever wanting to buy some of her tops, JWoww is releasing a clothing line full of her infamous barely there tops.

Remember when Tila Tequila used to be a bisexual on her MTV reality show “A Shot At Love With Tila Tequila”? It was all a lie and she is in fact a lesbian, or so she says on her Twitter account.
Sometime last night the reality train-wreck decided to tweet, “remember when I was a bisexual? Well after all the BS I have been through, especially with the recent abuse. I was in denial for a while..but “I was in denial for a long time and i found that lying to myself isnt cool. I finally realized that im Lesbian. Not bisexual. I love women. Just because I am lesbian and only date women now that I have come out, boys, I still have love for u.. I dont HATE men. I just date women.”
She then preceded to ask her followers to keep tweeting that she had come out of the closet after going on and on about it for ages she then decided to turn her attention to the MTV show and say it was all fake and they threatened to ruin her career if she didn’t go ahead with it. She also claims they drugged her up and didn’t give a shit if she was sick or not.
You can see all the drama in the screenshots below. Ya know, I am all for people coming out but I just don’t believe this at all, Tila Tequila uses everything she can to get herself some attention. Also when the hell does she get time to sleep? She seems to be on twitter every minute.

George Clooney always picks out hot girls to be his new beard girlfriend for the year or so, this time he has chosen Elisabetta Canalis.
Elisabetta, 30, is an Italian model and actress, she also does some presenting. As of May 2009 she is a co-host on the Italian version of MTV’s Total Request Live. She will turn 31 on September 12.
Other than that I have nothing really to say about her or George Clooney, so lets get to the goods…. topless pictures of Elisabetta Canalis.
