We hear about celebrities making private appearances all the time, and we often wish could party at such memorable bashes. I love a fabulous surprise for my guests as much as the next overachieving hostess, but for these prices?
Even if I could afford it, I wouldn't pay Pamela Anderson a quarter-million hard-earned dollars to do what, exactly? ABC News explored the "thriving rent-a-celebrity business," and I had no idea the amount celebs charge fluctuated so much!
Just last month, Tara Reid's asking price dropped from a somewhat expected $35,000 to a meager $3,500. Long gone are the days of Taradise. Jessica Simpson earns $75,000 per private appearance while in 2006 she was paid a generous $400,000, and in the same time period Nick Lachey's price dropped from $100,000 to $60,000. I guess people thought their time was worth more when they had a spouse at home.

Is anyone surprised that Nick Lachey and Jess Simpson are low rent? I certainly am not. And Tara Reid....sigh. She should be paying them to allow her to be there.
1Wow...I wish I could be paid to show up at a party!!!
2haha wow..
3Wow 400k?
4You know Lindsay Lohans people have a 20% off coupon in circulation for her showing up somewhere. Or they should.
5Competition with more bankable stars is probably the reason
6Because they really need their bank accounts and egos even more full
7this is ridiculous. i was reading somewhere that to get bill clinton to speak somewhere, it cost 140,000. and that's for a former president to give a motivational speech!! what are these people doing for even more money?!?!?!
8Sooo Sad. Make 60K to show your face. Poor Nick.
9My male co-worker wants to know for how long you get them for at these prices LOLO He says wow only $3,500 for Tara? He's actually interested LOL
10if i were jessica - i would be embarrased - same thing with tara...i could afford to pay tara to come and get drunk with me...
