'Jersey Shore' Kids Drive Hard Bargain
The "Jersey Shore" kids didn't fall off the pizza delivery truck yesterday -- TMZ has learned they have rejected MTV's salary offer for Season 2.
Sources connected with the negotiation say MTV offered Snooki, Pauly D, "The Situation" and the others each a $10,000 signing bonus and $5,000 an episode.
We're told the cast rejected the offer and made it clear -- they were negotiating "Friends" style ... everyone would get the same amount and it had to be a lot higher than MTV's offer.
Sources say MTV came back and doubled the offer -- $10,000 an episode. The cast hasn't responded to the offer.
It's still a bargain. The season finale of "Jersey Shore" was off the charts with 4.8 million viewers.
And, with some members of "The Hills" scoring north of $100,000 an episode, the "Jersey Shore" kids, frankly, should be holding out for a hell of a lot more than $10k.
We've also learned MTV has a contractual hold on the cast for another year, so technically Snooki and company have no right to renegotiate -- but it's done all the time with hit shows.
An MTV spokesperson would not comment on the negotiations and said the network has not made a decision on bringing the show back for Season 2. We're also told MTV has received thousands of tapes from would-be Guidos and Guidettes.

I hope they bring back the show 
Considering all, 10K per episode is pretty darn good. I would have no problem tanning and getting a stupid name to make that kind of money!

Re: 'Jersey Shore' Kids Drive Hard Bargain
I don't really want to see a second season of these guys on Jersey Shore - I think it would be too staged/contrived at this point. But I like that they are sticking together in the salary negotiations and good for them asking for more $$$$. The first season probably cost nearly nothing to put on and has become it's own little franchise because of the cast. They should be compensated.

So true...makes me crazy that we go out and bust our butts every day and these people are holding out for more than 10K an episode? I can think of a lot more people more deserving.... i hope they recast!

Re: 'Jersey Shore' Kids Drive Hard Bargain
These clowns think that just because they were on TV, now their sh*t doesn't stink. MTV could easily replace them with a new bunch of clowns who'll do it for less money.
