Be A Guidette...Make $2200?

Those morons from MTV's "Jersey Shore" are EVERYWHERE these days. But that didn't translate into big bucks for them right off the bat.

"Parade" magazine dropped its annual "What People Earn" edition yesterday . . . and they say the show's breakout star, NICOLE "SNOOKI" POLIZZI, only banked $2,200 in 2009. That's $200 per episode for the first season of "Jersey Shore" . . . which shot last year and aired from December of '09 through this past January. There were 11 episodes in all.

It's not clear if that's ALL the money Snooki made in '09, or if that's all she made from the show. Either way, she'll earn a lot more this year. Shooting on Season Two is currently underway, and cast members are now being paid a reported $10,000 per episode.

Plus, ever since "Jersey Shore" blew up, she and other members of the cast have been able to make big bucks from personal appearances.
