1 April 2011: “Snooki” More Beloved Than Toni Morrison!

According to the Newark Star-Ledger, Jersey Shore’s “Snooki” got $32,000 last night for talking to a thousand undergraduates at Rutgers University about hair styling and “lessons for life,” while  Nobel Prize and Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Toni Morrison will get only $30,000 to deliver the university’s commencement address in May. Snooki offered her audience the following advice:  “Study hard, but party harder.”  I don’t mean to poop on Snooki’s party, but what price fame and fortune?  Hair today, gone tomorrow.
