After agreeing to new deals the entire cast of MTV's Jersey Shore has left to start filming the new season in Italy. Reportedly each cast member will receive at least $100,000 an episode up from the $10,000 they received last year.
If that isn't enough, MTV has also ordered additional episodes of two pilots featuring Jersey Shore cast members. The first follows Pauly D as he dj's in various clubs. The other show will feature Snooki and J Wow as they search for a place to live together.
MTV executives say they aren't worried about the public overdosing on the Jersey Shore. Last season the show was the highest rated cable reality show in history. You really can't blame the cast, either, for riding this gravy train for as long as possible. In fact, Snooki has openly commented on making a career of reality television.
Maybe Rutgers should reconsider paying Snooki for speaking engagements and look to hire her full time as a professor. Her career choice seems to result in more money than any Rutgers grad could hope to earn maybe ever in their lifetime.
I can see it now. Snooki teaching a course on careers in television. Ronnie and Sammi teaching about relationships, and the "Situation" showing students how to live like a teenager, even when you are well into your forties. How long before Rutgers opens a campus in Seaside Heights? The Jersey Shore campus led by President Vinnie.
