QuoteOver the break, one NYU Law student started a movement to bring Nicole Polizzi (a.k.a. Snooki from the cast of Jersey Shore) to an NYU party. NYU students thought they could hang out with a drunk girl who likes to party, for just $2,000. Here's the email that was sent to the NYU Law listserve:

Now, I find this kind of puzzling. I can't imagine paying money to have a celebrity (any celebrity, much less a girl whose claim to fame is getting punched on TV) deal with this.  But I suppose it's no worse than any other party decorations...

So, would you hire someone like this?

Not really unless you are going to fuck them.

If I was rich enough I'd pay to have a celebrity work my party, yeah. For instance having a comedian do a bit or maybe a rock star perform at my wedding sort of thing.

But I'll never make that kind of money.

But to have them just sit around like decorations? No.

No, it's nice turning up at things when celebrities happen to be there anyhow (well, it happens in London!), but to pay them to be there when they don't want to be is just weird. On the other hand, I have been known to drop a stand-up comic a line before I see them at a local theatre and see if they fancy a drink in the bar afterwards. They're usually grateful of some company rather than going straight back to a B&B.

What the hell is Jersey Shore?
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

No.  Isn't that why you hire security, to keep undesirables out?

I dunno but if it's anything like Pauly Shore then I would pay money for it to stay away.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Paris Hilton makes her pocket money by doing that kind of thing iirc, or used to. But no, why would I have to do that. I have famous friends who come to my parties for free.
