Anderson Cooper mocked Snooki for being Snooki

Anderson Cooper is not a fan of Jersey Shore star Snooki, or the people paying her to make appearances.

E! Online reports recently, during Anderson Cooper 360, he put the pint-size star on his “Ridiculist.”

Cooper, who called out MTV for paying the Jersey Shore stars $100,000 per episode to star in the fourth season, had humorous, yet harsh words for the reality star.

"I'm telling you, Snooki is one impossibly lucky, unusually spunky, freakishly tan, beer guzzling, juicehead hugging, muscle loving, Botero body, pint-sized money-making machine," Cooper began. "Taking a cue from her own hairdo, she’s getting a huge raise. Snooki and her cast mates will reportedly rake in $100,000 per episode,” he continued. “That’s about 2,857 tanning sessions, which is about what she probably needs per year.”

Snooki’s huge payday wasn’t the only thing that had Cooper fuming, he also mocked the reality star for making $32,000 for speaking at Rutgers.

As Cooper continued, he said, "So what, a girl's got to eat. Wait, the salt on the margarita glass is technically food, correct?" he asked. "Anyway, far from me to be criticizing Snooki for making a living. What's she gonna do? Party all the time? Oh, it turns out she gets paid for that too!" he said sarcastically.

"The New York Times says she gets paid $25,000 to go to a club, for a few hours, to drink and dance, and just be Snooki—or as I like to call it the Show Up and Throw Up Fee."

"$25,000 to show up and hopefully throw up," he added, "because frankly if you go to a club to see Snooki, that's really all you want to see."

Cooper found a sure-fire way to save money on Snooki’s appearances by showing montages of her best Shore moments.

“I just got you Snooki free of charge,” he said. “No hangover, no nothing, your welcome…no drink minimum.”

By the end of the segment, Cooper somewhat defended her persona.

"I'm not saying it isn't downright captivating and I'm not saying she isn't worth every penny, all I'm saying is you really don't have to spend tens of thousands of dollars to get your Snooki on, you just need basic cable,” he concluded. "Just turn on MTV, watch The Jersey Shore, any episode will do because frankly they're all the same. . .cause anyone who's paying Snooki to be Snooki, I welcome you to Club Ridiculist."

E! Online reports Snooki doesn’t seemed concerned about Cooper’s comments; she tweeted, “Every1s askin me about Mista Anderstand Cooper. He called me freakishly tan AND I'm lucky? Gotta love this man!”
