Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino will make $5 million this year

[~UN_$ung~]

wait 2-3 years.by that time will have stared in:

1. celebrity rehab
2. where are they now?
3. a "secretly taped and leaked' sex tape.
4. "See this whore get slapped around and spit on" staring Jwow from jersey shore..a straight to DVD "movie"

oh my god, you nailed it...........the second this piggy's fame starts to wane............be it in 6 months or 2 years...........there will DEFIANTLY be a JCOW sextape


that somehow got mysteriously stolen, sold, marketed, and mass produced



this pig thinks she will be a fashion mogul................no whore, you will be selling videos of guys reaming your pussy to try and hold on to your fame

[Fury]

whats funny, like the guy mentioned above, is the little shit amount "the situation" will end up getting..............com pared to how much dough he is raking in for MTV viacom


that show he is on like single handedly turned MTV/viacom around last year, they were in the dumps...........he is making them hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars



HUNDREDS of millions..........yet he is gonna get a pathetic 60k an episode or whatever




thats why these execs love reality TV, there is zero overhead, the "talent" works for peanuts..............and the execs make all profit




the  jersey shore will have carried the company for the better part of two years, but when its over after next season or whenever the inevitable end is..........they will not even return his calls


scumbag tv execs

Why is that surprising? Without MTV and those other people doing all the legwork this guy would still be a nobody as the show wouldn't exist.

And the executives aren't really making much off him. MTV's viewership has been in the tank for a few years, so if anything, this show is balancing out the losses Viacom suffers from the abysmal numbers almost every other MTV show draws in.

i didnt say it was necessarily surprising


or that it is even right or wrong necessarily...it is what it is as they say




but is the humor lost on you............??



jersey shore swept the nation, for almost 9 months now.....you hear about it, and the characters constantly......you see them EVERYWHERE

for how much money and attention they garnered for MTV.....the really are getting a pittance

Well, you could make the case that "The Situation" is great at perpetuating the negative stereotype of Italian-Americans being self-absorbed morons.

Obviously, this douchebag won the "reality show lottery" (lucky BASTARD) and is making some serious cash.

Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino is cashing in on his 15 minutes of fame.



The "Jersey Shore" star is predicted to earn up to $5 million by the year's end, according to The Hollywood Reporter. A source for THR  revealed that "The Situation" is earning close to $60,000 an episode when bonus incentives are factored in, and he receives between $15,000-$50,000 for event appearances. "We are really excited about all the opportunities coming Mike's way," the reality star's manager, Mike Petolino of Gotham Entertainment, said.

In addition to the "Jersey Shore" and his event fees, which could bring him a cool $1 million this year alone, "The Situation" is also using his trademark abs to his advantage by creating an abs-focused fitness video called "The Situation Workout," and has a chewable supplement line at GNC.

"The Situation" doesn't stop there! According to THR, the reality star will be releasing his autobiography Here's the Situation, is signing on to endorse a new vodka, and has a GTL application (Gym, Tan, Laundry) as well as a rap song available on iTunes. Not to mention he has further endorsements with Vitamin Water, Reebok and a deal for a clothing line.

Petolino told THR of his client's fast cash, "It's a platform. You have to use it intelligently."

WWWWWWHHHHHHHYYYYYY? ain't america great.

[Natural Man]

he s cashing on other people  s stupidity. In my book it's called being smart. Im pretty sure he s a lot more smarter than most people think he is. It takes brains to manipulate people the way he does. He s clearely playing a character. Does it mean i watch his show or respect him and the whole stuff, his "fans" ? of course not. But the underlying strategy is smart, noone can deny it.
