Snooki Wants More Money To Do Dancing With The Stars?
Ok, so this girl is seriously getting on my every nerve!!! One minute Snooki is doing the show and the next she or someone in her camp are saying she’s not dancing. Now, Hollywood Life is reporting that Snooki is holding out for more MONEY!!! Come on! If true, why should Dancing With The Stars pay her more money? She should be lucky she’s getting any money at all or the “attention”.
If this rumor comes true, this will be like “Bristol Palin” all over again for me. I will still watch the show. I love it and one person will never chase me off. But, come on!!
This is a NIGHTMARE! *CRIES* 😯
Thanks for letting me rant! lol Here is more from Hollywood Life;
“They are still trying to make the deal with Snooki,” our source dishes. “She was verbally in, but has yet to sign anything. She has been very concerned with the schedule and what she will be paid.”
With the season 13 premiere of DWTS just around the corner on Sept. 19, ABC is in a rush to finalize the cast as soon as possible. After all, they have to start rehearsing, plus, the cast is being announced Aug. 29 during the Bachelor Pad.
Adds our insider, “The producers are confident that she will still join the show, but if she continues to hold out, they have people that will fill her spot. They always overcast the show.”
I totally buy this. She’s done the same thing repeatedly with MTV. Either way, I bet she ends up doing it.
So we got the following tentatively confirmed?
1. Rob Kardasian
2. Chaz Bono
3. Mike Tyson
3. Christina Milian
4. Snooki
5. Kristen Cavallari
6. Chyna Phillips
7. Hope Solo
I was willing to give Snooki a chance and see if I was able to like her. Well forget that now. I already know I wont like her.
@AnnaTMaksimFTW – Like your list, except for Snooki. Now all we need are the names for some of the older celebrities….
NO ONE is even potentially confirmed. All we have, still, is rumor and speculation. It’s not confirmed until Tom says their name on the 29th.
The names you list are those I think have a good shot of being right except for Mike Tyson – pretty sure he’s a no. And if snookie is really trying for more money, she’ll get dropped if she holds out to long.
ETA- wanna bet the producers leaked that tid bit to get snookie in line? 🙂
*prays like hell that Snookie is one stubborn chiqua*
lol Evaine! We can always hope. It is amazing how much she looks like Bristol!
Am I wrong, or have I seen/read that Mike Tyson has already competed on another version of our show? Italy? Some other country, or am I wrong?
My thought is that if he did, that should disqualify him from competing on our show…. And I also thought I heard that he was asked and he said our version didn’t pay well enough….
While I DETEST Jersey Shore, I have to admit that she is one of the primary reasons people watch oddly enough (don’t understand why still I kinda think she looks like a an Ompa Loompa from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and a Troll doll had a baby). This might be a situation where she will get what she wants so the show can get more viewers.
If I’m not mistaken, the British Strictly Come Dancing doesn’t pay it’s celebs – the money goes the celeb’s favorite charity. I’m inclined to think we could draw some bright stars (those A-Listers even) if DWTS did that as well. Just sayin’
Actually I prefer to watch Bristol Palin dance than to look at and watch Snooki. At least Bristol is not loud and obnoxious like Snooki. People may not like Bristol and I understand that. Snooki is just annoying and overbearing. I would feel sorry for any professional that would get her.
Mark Ballas was on WPLJ in new york this morning. He was asked about Snooki, he said he would love to dance with her if the rumor appears to be true!
She has no dancing experience but claims she was a gymnast! I guess she would be a good student according to Mark. Guess he wants another Bristol Palin!
Should the celebrities really be asking for more money? I thought they got a ridiculous amount for being on the show to begin with.
“If I’m not mistaken, the British Strictly Come Dancing doesn’t pay it’s celebs – the money goes the celeb’s favorite charity.” I think CBC’s Battle of the Blades was the same. Wouldn’t it be nice if 50 percent went to a favorite charity and there have been some contestants, Wayne Newton?, who don’t need the money. Please, give us contestants who have actually accomplished something in life and, now, want to see how they could do at dancing. I wonder what Tom B really thinks of this show-on his way to the bank.
I want to elaborate. Based on what are being called “stars,” I’d just as soon see people from other walks of life. Unfortunately, are we familiar with great or important scientists, artists. economists, etc. Give me the best the US Forest Service has to offer, that pilot who landed on the Hudson, another astronaut … more Olympic athletes … the Iron chef host, the rodeo champ, they were all fine.
What dance was it that Bristol did a thing with her face that was the total Snooki look? Then the plastic surgery did it for real – scary how much they look like each other.
Still want a disgruntled DWTS employee to spill the beans on what really goes on backstage, with negotiations to get celebs on the show, etc…
Two ways to be famous and make a ton of money without having any legitimate talent:
1.) Be a Kardashian
2.) Be on Jersey Shore
If Snooks really is holding out for more money, then she better be the most entertaining celeb they’ve ever had on the show. I doubt she would be, but anyone of debateable C-list fame holding out for more money on a show that has begun to command B and possibly A-listers has got some serious cojones and a big obligation to deliver. Despite how “popular” she may be with the MTV crowd, she could be an early ouster like the Situation – and at least Sitch had the advantage of being charming & male. Snooki doesn’t seem to be blessed with those qualities…
…anywho, whoever said she had gymnastic experience – it’s somewhat true. She was a cheerleader in high school, so she might be able to do a mean cartwheel and maybe a handspring or something. But unless you’re Shawn Johnson, I don’t think tumbling skills are really that much of a boon for DWTS.
He may end up with a “situation” Margaret. 😀
You are correct on both counts, Lori. Mike did a DWTS in….Central America?? And he did say that the US version didn’t pay enough.
I doubt very much that Snooki will be that huge a draw. People always say that about these off network shows…I think their popularity is highly over estimated and a media fallacy.
I can’t shake the funny feeling I have that we’re going to see Snookie do the fist pump on the DWTS dance floor come September.
If indeed Snookie has signed on, then the only partner I can really see her with is Louis. I wonder if she has enough juice to request a partner? In which case, I hope all you Derek fans are also Snookie fans LOL
Bruce, I couldn’t agree more with your comments above about signing “people from other walks of life… Give me the best the US Forest Service has to offer, that pilot who landed on the Hudson, another astronaut … more Olympic athletes” Ty Murray, the rodeo champ, was one of my favorite contestants, not the best dancer by a mile, but one of my top 10 nonetheless. I really like when they have a good mix of celebs – the mix has been a little heavy in the reality TV world lately.
Dwtsgossip confirmed 8 pros. One of them Mark, if Snooki hasn’t signed yet I too wonder if she’ll be Louis’ partner.
Heidi:
Your a riot! There seems to be more rumors about the ladies then men, what about rumors about more male celebrities? Isn’t it suppose to be even, as far as 6 and 6 Heidi?
How do you think they are doing? And God forbid Derek should ever end up with Snooki!
Never say never, but I sincerely doubt Derek would end up with Snooki – for multiple reasons. She’s far too short (4’9″) and if they’re hemming & hawing about giving her more money, you best believe they’re not about to throw away one of their biggest bargaining chips (Derek) on her as well. I really think Mark is the most likely victim of Snookitis – he’s the only pro that’s ever dealt with a partner that short before, plus they’re close in age. Louis might get her – but my money’s on Mark. And I’m not even putting a whole lot of money on the fact that she’ll even be on this season…
@Maddy, Thanks.
It does say confirmed pros, Tony, Maks, Derek, Mark, Cheryl, Lacey, Kym, Karina… Still waiting for the other 4 celebs to sign on. Fingers-crossed that Mark will get stuck with her. Interesting, that does sound like Louis would have her, dang-it, I was hoping for an early-out for Mark this season.
Hope you are right Courtney – although I can not imagine any pro is really desperate to have anyone who is clearly just doing it for the money. If she had any sense, she’d be holding out for a particular partner which would stand her in better stead. just hope she’s not got the star power to get a big name – I don’t watch the show or really know who she is, but think the show would be better off without her.
Courtney, your comment about how to be famous without having a lot of talent cracked me up.:D
I’m hoping she’ll get Mark, but I can kind of see her with Louis, too.
I love Dancing with the Stars but if they let that little Troll snookie on it I will have a hard time watching
Louis is NOT one of the 8 confirmed, Maddy, and there is much more to what DWTSGossip said. While I tend to think she has solid sources, none of this is set in stone – only DWTS can “confirm” pros and dancers.
Derek was one of the first pros (or THE first pro) confirmed for this season – which means, I think, that they had a partner for him early on. Which means it can’t be Snookie.
No Anna! Actually, Anna T or Anna D would be great. So glad they had the new pro competition. Lasted one season.
