Confirmed: Jersey Shore Back For 3rd Season

With season two not even on the air yet, there were rumors flying Monday that the cast of Jersey Shore were striking over problems with their new contract for season three—but the crisis has been averted everyone! TMZ reports that the cast got their raise and will indeed be returning to Seaside Heights again next year. PHEW. The gossip site also claims that Angelina—who was sent home early during season one—won't be returning with them (maybe that was a contract demand!).

Meanwhile, CNN (yes, CNN) reports that there may be some tension between the remaining cast members. Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi and Mike “The Sitaution” Sorrentino could be getting too big for the Shore—or at least their egos may be. Snooks says, "I know the others want the same opportunities that Mike and I get, but we don’t control those things. The media isn't asking for the others so they can't really be mad at me. I can understand why they might be jealous. They aren't doing anything, but they should still be happy for me." Oooh, maybe for season three MTV should make the rest of the cast be Snooki and the Situation's personal butlers.

In 5 years they'll all look like leather pancakes.

Why?

Why are these superficial morons relevant?

Why is CNN reporting on these morons?

Why is Gothamist reporting this?

Why am I wasting time comment on these degenerates?

it appears the Guidos have already won...

Do they all bring a paint chip to the tanning salon? I haven't seen so little variation in skin colors among people since my childhood in Iowa.

They look like you could line them up as the timeline of evolution.

Well there's Snooki ... but how do you tell the rest of them apart?

I don't know his name but the guy in the center of the back row has a rather distinctive hair style.

The tall one with the melons and tattoos is hot.

I'd toss her salad if I could

I hear she even makes her own vinaigrette.

I feel like they would be sticky. If you touched them. But don't touch them.

I never watch reality tv, but I'd probably watch at least one episode of guidos being forced to wait on even more egocentric guidos.
