Hopefully this works itself out

Jersey Shore' second season hits snag as cast renegotiates deal

MTVMike "The Situation" Sorrentino and Paul "DJ Pauly D" Delvecchio are holding out for money to return to "Jersey Shore."

MTV is playing hardball with the “Jersey Shore” crew, who have been holding out for more money to appear in a second season of the runaway hit.

Here’s the situation (or The Situation, as it were): The cast, which has been negotiating together á la “Friends,” rejected MTV’s latest offer of $10,000 an episode (there will be 12 episodes in the second season) and a $5,000 signing bonus, but MTV now says they’ll be replaced if they don’t accept that deal, TMZ.com reports.

Any cast member that rejects the offer (and Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino and Paul "DJ Pauly D" Delvecchio are reportedly the biggest holdouts) will be replaced, sources say, and there’s no shortage of candidates. What’s the population of Staten Island?
