Snooki’s headed back to the beach — Virginia Beach that is. The star of MTV’s Jersey Shore star is being paid two thousand smacks to help a Valentine’s Day bash inspired by her television trainwreck at Peabody’s Virginia Beach Feb. 12.
Local party promoters Justin Ballard and George Fox are fronting the four-figure appearance fee, plus the cost of hotel accommodations and travel expenses, to bring Snooks to the Southern resort city.
“We wanted to do a Jersey Shore party. We had the idea that we needed to get some sort of celebrity to bring more folks in. We found out you can rent Snooki,” Ballard told Life & Style Tuesday. “She’s pretty high maintenance,” the promoter added. “She wanted to fly first class.”
It sure sounds like a lot of folks are “Snookin’ For Love.” Within 24 hours of posting the invite on Facebook, Ballard and Fox already have over 200 confirmed guests. The pro cheerleader and aspiring vet tech’s duties will include mingling and taking photos with fans. The party is open to the public. The price of admission is $10 and drink specials will run all night.
Last weekend, Snooki was paid $10,000 to host a “Fist-Pumping Contest” at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino is Seminole, Florida.
