Jersey Shore Cast Is Gettin' Greedy

phpCRwxwOPM.jpg Didn't this happen with Friends once? The cast of Jersey Shore said the were sticking together and giving MTV an all-or-nothing fight during contract negotiations—wanting more money per episode to return for a 2nd season. But as we noted yesterday, the network called their bluff and allegedly mentioned replacing the cast with new guidos and guidettes this time around. Now TMZ reports that two cast members, Ronnie and J-WOWW, have agreed to $10K an episode, while the others want more more more! (The Hills cast gets $100K per episode and has lower ratings.) MTV hopes to close the deals today, and a source told the website that they will replace anyone who doesn't accept the offer. Hmm... Brad Ferro seems available.

    Pay them the money but make them do really uncomfortable things...like actually live in NJ.

  • Dirk

    Do these yahoos really think they can't be replaced? MTV could find enough characters for 10 seasons of Jersey Shore.

  • JenChungsBaby

    J-WOOF looks like she's gonna rupture at any moment. I wouldn't stand next to her if the air pressure was below 27.25 inHg.

  • Steven

    Just makes me want to throw up. I don't know what's more disgusting this or the wall street bonuses?

  • theevilone

    I'd vote for this. These people are getting paid to do nothing. They're not skilled workers!

  • FJF

    They should pay Paulie D in hair gel and Snooki in spray-on tan.

  • FrankMartin

    100K per show

    I need a tanning bed, steroids and a lobotomy STAT!!!!

  • nomnomnom

    Actually, you need to open a Gym/Tanning Salon/Laundromat all-in-one store. That way they could get their GTL on at one place.

  • maryjr

    Is that a munchkin in the front?

  • jibbly

    MTV could find pretty much the same cast if they blindly picked from the crowd coming out of Penn Station on a Saturday night.

  • TooTallJeff

    They need to keep The Situation, Snooki and J-WOWW. The other ginnies are easily replaced.

  • jaycjay

    I've never watched the show. What makes those three stand out from the rest? Is it just that they have nicknames?

  • TooTallJeff

    Exactly. Just pick the ones with the best fist-pump.

  • Think2wice

    Just replace them. They're not the only guidos in the world.

  • Wza

    Exactly.

    JWoww wants extra money, she goes into porn, problem solved.

    :D

  • Flo419

    what?? where are they going to find other guidos??
