What happens when you push your boss for one outrageous raise after another when you’re already making a crap load of money to begin with? You lose your job that’s what.
MTV is reportedly planning on recasting Jersey Shore after the original crew films one final season in Seaside Heights this summer to bring in much cheaper and less famous people.
With each passing season, this cast has held out contract negotiations, pushing for bigger and bigger salaries because they argue that the show that made them famous prevents them from having time to take part in more sponsorship deals and club appearances.
The “core group” which we can assume consists of Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi, Jenni “JWoww” Farley, Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino and Paul “Pauly D” Delvecchio reportedly made about $100,000 per episode to film Season 4 in Florence, Italy, this spring. WHICH IS JUST PLAIN INSANE! They were paid $100,000 to basically party in paradise.
“After this group comes back from Italy and shoots season 5 this summer, that will be the end for them,” a Jersey Shore producer told Us Weekly.
The source added: “They will leave on a high note!” I guess that means they will continue with their spin off shows.
