Yeah, buddy! For only $2,500 a night, you can rent the legendarily skeezy party pad where “Jersey Shore” is shot. That’s right, the same Seaside Heights, N.J., den of sin where “G.T.L.” was born, The Situation detonated countless “grenades” and Snooki went public with her pickle fetish.
The “Smush Room” sheets have been boiled and the hot tub has been scrubbed, so put on your most glittery graphic T-shirt and get in line. The “Jersey Shore” house is so popular when the cast isn’t there (MTV rents it out 70 days a year) that it now has its own website. Fist pump!
“It’s a phenomenon,” Michael Loundy, broker at Seaside Realty in Seaside Heights, told Flash. He’s handled the renting of the six-bedroom, three-bathroom landmark of lewdness for the past three years and says the phone has been ringing off the hook lately. “Each season it grows and grows,” he said.
While the house has become the town’s top tourist destination, “Jersey” star Ronnie Ortiz-Magro, who recently split from castmate Sammi “Sweetheart” Giancola (again), isn’t exactly a fan of the place.
“The house is make-believe,” Ronnie told Flash when we ran into him last weekend.
“This interview is real. It’s weird,” he mused of life in the house.
Sammi, in a separate room from Ronnie, told us: “You may think you know us but you’re only seeing an hour a week. We’re all unique. I have a normal life.”
Ronnie explained: “We’re still acting like ourselves but we’re just going the extra mile when we’re in front of the camera.”
Well, at least all those on-air antics are raking in cash. Snooki and The Situation are reportedly pulling in around $1 million a year in salary and endorsements. Ronnie, whose lack of a memorable nickname may have bumped him from the top tier of “Jersey Shore” earners, is certainly dressing the part.
When we asked how much he paid for that diamond-encrusted Jacob & Co.-looking watch on his wrist, he chortled, “Um, enough!”
