Stars are paid by designers all the time to endorse and wear certain clothes. But this may be the first time we’ve heard of someone being paid not to a brand’s apparel.

‘Jersey Shore‘ star the Situation may have a way with the ladies, but Jesse Eisenberg seems immune to his dubious charms.
He’s had his hands in some of the most successful albums and TV shows of the last 20 years, and made enough money to never have to work another day in his life — so the list of people Simon Cowell needs to listen to is awfully short.

Recently, the Village Voice got its hands on the 30-page contract required of the people appearing on MTV‘s long-running ‘Real World’ series and, as expected, it’s positively draconian.
