DJ Pauly D of the MTV hit show Jersey Shore is definitely seeing his hard work pay off these days.

The reality TV star is not only the opening act for Britney Spears's Femme Fatale tour alongside Nicki Minaj, his pending three-album deal with 50 Cent's G-Unit powerhouse, which will also allegedly include the release of a Pauly D-branded headphones, should be finalized very soon, the disc jockey tells XXL.

"I would say the end of the year," Pauly says about when the deal will be sealed.

When asked how he and 50 first came together, Pauly says, "50 cent has also been somebody I look up to. We ended up linking up and we just clicked. We hit it off immediately with the music and everything like that. So, I’m definitely gonna be working with him. There’s been talks about the album and the headphones. I’m looking forward to working with that as well."

Pauly D also has a spin-off show scheduled to premiere soon on MTV, which will chronicle his DJing career. —Mariel Concepcion
