Hey Mushroom Cloud! You're Not saMANtha Ronson!

Let’s see if that reality check can make it through all that hair gel!

Pauly D from The Jersey Shore thinks a lot of himself and his abilities. While his cast mates are trying to land $10,000 an episode for season 2 of their hit MTV show, Pauly D is trying to collect the same kind of cash from his day job.

Or night job, however you want to look at it.

While he used to take in on $1,000 a night spinning at various clubs in Providence, RI, now he is looking to make $10,000-$25,000 a gig. And you know, some other guido is going to give it to him!

Can’t really blame him for trying. Reality fame doesn’t last forever! Make the money now before the money is gone!
