Seems like just last month (it was) that Jersey Shore's Snooki was asking for $2,000 per appearance (and often getting zero dollars). But now TMZ reports that the poof-happy "Princess of Poughkeepsie" (as she calls herself) is making $10,000 to show up at clubs. That's her price for hosing a Fist Pumping Competition tonight at the Hard Rock in Florida.
Sounds like she's the highest-paid cast member out there, too — allegedly Pauly D and The Situation are taking in around $7,500 per appearance. With their nearly instant "celeb" status, how are they going to return for the second season they're reportedly going to film? More importantly, how much did Snookums got paid to be the weather girl on WPIX yesterday?
