Jersey Shore

The 21-year-old "guidette" got $10K to get crunk, shake and fist pump her orange skin/poof at the Seminole Hard Rock ... the same place where Anna Nicole Smith died.

To think just a month ago Snooks was doing all this for free.

Being a guidette is a full time job -- and for "Jersey Shore's" Snooki, it pays five figures.

TMZ has learned the Princess of Poughkeepsie is getting paid $10,000 to show up tonight to Anna Nicole Smith's death site, the Seminole Hard Rock in Florida -- where she'll be hosting a "Fist Pumping Competition" at a club called Opium.

Snookers and her poof aren't the only ones making big bucks though -- we're told The Situation and Pauly D make at least $7,500 an appearance ... and the ab-tastic wonder is booked every weekend for the next two months!

FYI -- When the crew came to TMZ Live, they made zero dollars.

The self-described "guidette" partied at an Upstate New York bar near her hometown Monday night and gave an over-gelled patron/fan/victim a taste of her down home hospitality.

Snooki is a shore thing!

Question is ...

Snooki is an "embarrassment to the human race" -- at least according to one pissed off group of Italian-Americans.

It's the latest insult in a furious back-and-forth between the "Jersey Shore" star and UNICO -- the Italian American organization pressuring sponsors to bail from the MTV show.

Snooki had lashed out at the group during an interview with Steppin' Out magazine, saying "I just have one thing to say to Domino's, Dell, UNICO and all the other haters out there ... F**K YOU! If you don't want to watch, don't watch. Just shut the hell up! I'm serious. F**K YOU!"

Re-enter UNICO, who proclaimed, "She is not an embarrassment to Italian Americans -- she is actually an embarrassment to the entire human race!!!!"

Your move, Snooks.

The Borough of Seaside Heights -- yes, the entire borough -- has issued a statement informing people they did not "solicit, promote or participate" in the making of "Jersey Shore" .. even though that's where the majority of the show was taped.

Translation: Don't blame us!

As TMZ first and often reported ... anyone with a connection to New Jersey, Italian heritage or a moral compass has lashed out at the show for being offensive.

TMZ has learned The Situation -- aka Mike Sorrentino -- was a member of the "All American Male" exotic dancer crew back before his reality show days.

We're told The Situation worked for the group -- which gyrates from New York to New Jersey -- back in 2004.

Dell -- the 3rd sponsor to run from the 'Shore' -- tells us they will "block" their commercials from running in future episodes of the show, claiming they don't "condone or support ethnic bashing in any form."

This once again opens up prime advertising space for 8-Minute Abs, "Cheaters," bedazzled mensware distributors, Supercuts, 7-Minute Abs, Chaser hangover prevention pills, K-Swiss, chest wax, anger management instructional DVDs, 6-Minute Abs...

We got our hands on this shot of the Princess of Poughkeepsie at a cheer competition back in January 2006, modified poof firmly in place.

Brrr, it's cold in here, there must be some guidettes in the atmosphere!

One of 'ems been known to have a lot of fun with E.

Some of the highlights -- Snooki loved watching the footage of her attacker getting knocked the hell out, the boys blast the Italian group who called the show "offensive," and Harvey learns the proper way to fist pump.

UNICO has fired off another demand letter to the companies who continue to support the MTV show, tearing several sponsors -- including Papa John's Pizza, Nivea, LG Electronics and Burger King -- for supporting "such a discriminatory, insulting and Italian-bashing program."

UNICO president Andre DiMino added, "I am urging our supporters to call these sponsors and demand they pull their advertising from Jersey Shore."

As TMZ first reported, Domino's Pizza and an insurance group pulled out after the debut episode of the show. UNICO tells us MTV has since refrained from using the terms "guido" and "guidette" in promo clips and on their web site.

Brad Ferro made headlines as the "man" who punched "Jersey Shore" star Snooki at a bar in New Jersey in August. But back in January, he took part in an underground fighting event called Clash in the Cage -- and he got KNOCKED OUT!!!

He grappled with his opponent, Spencer Cook, for a little bit before he got clocked by a solid left and it was all she wrote.

Karma, kinda like Snooki, can be a bitch.

Just kidding. They're total idiots.
