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.
This question is going to make Mono's head explode. :(
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?

Watch the video clip, and laugh.
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.

This
No. Not really.
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.
I don't throw parties. Problem solved.

Me either.
But still.
No.

Hrmm. No offense, but I suspect they hope you'll provide them company at the B&B.

This, I would do. Not the wedding part, but inviting a rock band to sing for a private party, yeah, if I had the cash, I would probably do it.
But paying stars just to show up and pretend to be my friend? That's pathetic.
Sure why not if I had money to burn. It would be amusing.
Just one celebrity; probably not, but I'd pay to have both Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown at my party or maybe Rihanna and Chris Brown.

To be fair, hiring her is like hiring a stripper.

Nah. Strippers at parties come with handlers, are usually professionals, and don't drink till they blackout and/or hook up with guests at the event.

hook up with guests at the event.
Depending on the party, this could be a positive.

It's not in there, but I believe that was basic premise.

You're hiring the wrong strippers
