NIKKI BLONSKY is working at a shoe store. Blonsky who played the lead in Hairspray alongside Zac Efron and John Travolta; who also starred in the ABC family show Huge is now working behind the register at Steven Dann, a high-end shoe boutique in her hometown of Great Neck, N.Y.

According to the latest Hollywood gossip news, when Huge didn’t do too well, work slowed to a crawl for Nikki and she needed to make some extra money.

“Steven [the owner] says she’s one of the best employees he’s ever had!” a store source says. “Nikki had known Steven for a long time. When she started her career she got shoes, bags and accessories from the store for red carpets but recently approached him about working at the store.”

Blonsky who apparently just started working behind the register last week,  has no comment on the career change… But don’t worry, this could well be just a summer gig for Nikki.

“She’s supposedly working on a project that will catapult her career, something bigger than Hairspray,” says our shoe-pal.

Well, we wish Nikki the best of luck. What could she possibly be working on that’s bigger than Hairspray? Any idea? Oh dear, don’t tell me it’s another reality TV show!
