Jersey Shore was just signed for a second season, and each cast member is apparently receiving $10,000 an episode,a s well as being able to frequent as many as 4 clubs / events per week to also garner extra income. This is particularly swell news for Pauly D, who charges up to a reported $25,000 per DJ appearance ( a little more than just fist-pumping and beating up the beat) LOL. Season 2 will be the same cast (minus that girl who decided to leave) but in a new location! hmmmmm…
This news reminds me of the time that I auditioned for MTV’s Real World- I tell the story when provoked, and don’t mind sharing.
I was in Tampa
(Ybor to be exact) and I show up at the casting call with a 3×5 photo of myself ( i was so naive then lol- this was 2008) The casting began at 11, but I showed up early because I had never been to this club where they were holding their casting. It’s 10:30, and I walk in the door after signing a few papers that say it’s ok for me to be filmed etc… I walk in and to my bewilderment, see about 20 people already at thebar drinking!!! at 10:30AM!!! am!!!!!! lol so, a naive-younger me decides to fit in a bit- I’m guessing they look for this type of thing ( to see if you’re social) I get a rum, and coke, which is magically transformed into a double somewhere between me ordering and the bartender pouring (and boasting that he’s the best bartender in the world- probably hoping I’m a MTV casting agent) so I get my drink, that I can barely stomach, and sit down for the group casting. This is really wild now, to my right are four wildly drunk black girls that can barely talk without sluring a word, and to my left is a gay Puerto Rican ex-marine, hairstylist. lol yea, I was dwarfed a bit by all of their boisterous personalities. We talked a bit about politics, Britney Spears, food, and sex / cheating in relationships. end result: I didn’t get a call back, and didn’t mind much because really because hindsight being 20/20, it wouldn’t have helped my career much lol. no disrespect to Ruthy, Teck, Abe, and Joey.
