The self-described “guidos” and “guidettes” of the MTV reality show Jersey Shore have gone from unknowns to infamous in less than three months. And all that fame comes with some pretty lucrative — and downright bizarre — offers — like this one:
“Someone in California offered us $50,000 to have Pauly D walk them down the aisle at their wedding, to give them away,” says Paul’s manager, Michael Schweiger. “We rejected the offer, because Pauly is a serious DJ and all the other cast members are doing lots of personal appearances but Pauly D is not necessarily doing the personal appearances because he feels he has a lot to learn as a DJ. He does not want to be doing stuff that is unrelated to DJ-ing.”
