The Rutgers University Programming Association paid Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi of the reality TV show "Jersey Shore" $32,000 Thursday to dish on her hairstyle, fist pumps, as well as the GTL — gym, tanning, laundry — lifestyle. That's $2,000 more than the $30,000 the university is paying Nobel-winning novelist Toni Morrison to deliver Rutgers' commencement address in May. Snooki's advice to students: "Study hard, but party harder." ===================================================== Why would anyone pay this troll to talk about her ridiculous sleezy life? Is this the kind of path American higher institution taking? Unbelievable! Why don’t they book someone like Ivanka Trump, an Ivy league grad with brain, beauty, money, and contacts. Ivanka is also on TV show and somewhat famous, she would have been much better choice. This is total fuckery, what next, The situation to deliver commencement at Yale? SMDH.
I know that's a ridiculous amount of money to pay a reality show celebrity but I like snooki she's hilarious. good for her and makin her moneyartyman::smt030
Let's hope it doesn't go longer than 15. I think people are starting to tire of them. They totally skewered The Stiuation from the Trump roast fiasco. I mean what do they expect?? These are not professionals nor hired for their talent.
Snooki is a loud mouth, ugly and stupid trash, and Rutgers is even more stupid for paying her to come to their campus & speak to their students. Glad as hell I didn't attend their school. Sad thing is she is laughing all the way to the bank. I love this kwantry and God bless Americaaa (with best Ricky Ricardo voice)
The money shouldn't have been spent on Snooki. Instead, it should be allocated towards financial aid for undergrad and prospective students. That would have been much better.
What a waste of good money. And she's not a reality star until a sex tape with her is released. Until then, she's best at playing as an extra Oompa-Loompa for the set of Tim Burton's The Wizard of Oz remake.
The sad thing is the money is coming from the students' tuition. The leaders of this country need be fired from Obama all the way down to community college prez.
They can't fire Obama? Who would be able to run the country, because it can't be a Republican either? And besides, Obama has to win in 2012.
This got financed from student organization dollars? Good grief! I was holding out hope that it was either sponsored by some soda company or something as a promo event or something. :smt011
