CJ — Thu, 27 Jan 2011 14:52:44 +0000

We all know that top A-List celebrities make the big bucks. People like Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie and Matt Damon: we expect these people to bank tens of millions per year for their stunning performances in the box office. But during the last several years, a class of pseudo-celebs has descended upon us – people whose only “gift” to the screen is how painfully and comically embarassing they are. Reality TV has given these con artists room to thrive, and we profile 7 of them below.

Michael “The Situation” Sorrentino

Did somebody say Jager Bombs? Michael Sorrentino (better known as “The Situation”) is one of the biggest names in reality TV. Staring on the show “The Jersey Shore,” Sorrentino got his fame from being the archetypical loud, obnoxious guido from Jersey, and is now raking in an absolute killing because of it. Painful as it is to read, The Huffington Post reports that Sorrentino will be taking home over $5 million this year for his on screen antics. On the bright side, with that kind of money Sorrentino will never have to worry about running out of tanning oil and hair gel.

Kim Kardashian

In the world of undeserving celebrities, Kim Kardashian reigns supreme. For those unaware, Kim is the daughter of one of OJ Simpson’s defense lawyers who rocketed to stardom on the strength of an explicit sex tape leak. The woman now has her own TV show and rakes in $40,000 per episode according to CelebrityNetWorth.com. Ms. Kardashian also owns her own clothing line and boasts a $12 million net worth. When she isn’t on set, she can be found hanging out with the next young fake celeb on our list, Paris Hilton.

Though her family holds billions of dollars in the hotel industry, Paris decided to make her fortune as a celebutante, parading her drama on TV and in the tabloids to promote her various brands. Paris owns a clothing line, perfume fragrance, shoes, CDs, books, and hair accessories. Combined with her now defunct television reality show “The Simple Life,” has allowed her to build a $45 million net worth. According to CelebrityNetWorth.com, Paris also gets between $25,000 and $100,000 to host or attend parties.

Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi

It seems cosmically unfair somehow that in a couple of episodes of drinking, fighting, and making out with random guys, Snooki can put away an entire yearly salary of most well paid college graduates. It’s true – “The Situation” isn’t the only Jersey kid to earn big bucks on the show. MovieLine.com reports that female costar Snooki is paid $30,000/episode for “The Jersey Shore,” easily boosting her net worth into the high hundreds of thousands, if not millions if she is smart about it. Of course, the entire point of The Jersey Shore is that none of the stars are very smart, so one can never be too sure how that money is used.

Tila Tequila

Scandalous reality TV superstar Tila Tequila is another undeserving celebrity who rose to stardom for no other reason than her good looks and willingness to make out with other girls on camera. Though most of us who spent any time on a college campus can probably name several girls who meet that same description, Tila managed to squeeze over $1.5 million out of her lifestyle according to CelebrityNetWorth.com. Currently, her defunct reality show “A Shot At Love” is still her biggest claim to fame, though Ms. Tequila occasionally does modeling for magazines such as Maxim and FHM.

David Blaine

Though he may have started out doing magic on the streets, master illusionist David Blaine has since risen to become one of the highest paid magicians in the world. Blaine got his break when he scored a television show called “Street Magic” that followed him around as he performed tricks on random strangers live for the camera. Since then, Blaine has focused mostly on paid performances and appearances, which is where he makes most of his money. ChaCha reports that he has an estimated $2 million yearly income, which is significantly higher than his competitor Criss Angel (valued at $1.3 million/year).

Lauren Conrad

Lauren Conrad has been the star of the hit MTV reality shows “Laguna Beach,” and “The Hills,” earning her a spot as one of the highest paid TV celebrities of all time. The Huffington Post reports that last year, Conrad was paid $125,000 per episode of The Hills, a salary that would make some movie stars gawk after a single season. Conrad did not join the show for its final season in 2010, however with the ability to command a salary as high as her’s, her options sure won’t be limited.

The Jersey Shore has become a smash hit reality show on MTV and is also making waves in the fashion world. Whether a viewer is a fan of Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi or her housemate Jenni “JWoww” Farley, it’s apparent that there is a fan trend towards purchasing the clothing that they are advertising on the tube. During the show, the cast members work shifts at a t-shirt store on a local boardwalk and live together in a shore house.

The sales of Anoname jeans have been rising in popularity with the show’s appearance. These denim jeans have been selling well for about five years now and many celebrities have been spotted wearing these denim hits. They are available in straight leg, wide leg, boot cut, and flare varieties. Although these high end jeans are naturally more expensive than usual brands, going for at least $100, they are considered to be quite comfortable compared to many other top brands. For the price conscious fashion seeker, Anoname jeans can frequently be found on sale.

Legging jeans are another popular fashion trend on the show; they combine the different aspects of the comfort of leggings along with the versatility of jeans. Many selections are made with cotton and spandex material to help show off curves and allow maximum movement. Popular brands include Joe and Jbrand legging jeans. They are considered to be a rising top pick this year, especially amongst television stars.

True Religion jeans for women are heavily associated with Jersey Shore as well. These jeans come in different varieties such as black, rainbow corduroy and more, including some of the bestselling varieties in the world. The brand has been around since 2002 and also produces jackets, blazers and more. True Religion jeans are known for their twisted inseams and thick stitching. The cast member, Jenni “Jwoww” Farley, has been spotted wearing a ripped pair of this popular jeans brand. In terms of cost, True Religion jeans are usually a slightly less expensive option than the Anoname brand.

As Jersey Shore gets set for the next fun-filled reality television season, styles showcased by the actors will continue to grow in popularity. Not only do legging, Anoname, and True Religion jeans flatter figures on television, they can flatter any woman wanting to look her best for that important date or a night on the town. With the right fashion picks, one can always be as stylish as being on Jersey Shore.

Amanda is a writer and blogger living in San Diego who loves to write about the rise in sales of Anoname jeans and True Religion jeans for women. She works on behalf of Blue Jeans and Bikinis, which has a large selection of jeans, including the ever-so-popular legging jeans, by all the hottest designers at discounted prices.
