Even though Jersey Shore is over (sad face) - people are still talking about (from left) Pauly D, Ronnie, Sammie, Vinnie, Snooki, JWoww, and The Situation. According to the New York Post, the cast is demanding $10,000 per episode to come back for a Season Two. Reportedly they were paid only "hundreds" per episode for Season One.
I say give it to them. Love 'em or hate 'em, the Jersey Shore kids had people talking like no MTV show in a long time. In fact, the Guidos and Guidettes from "Down the Shore" have reminded MTV that the stars of The Hills were reportedly paid $100,000 per episode. And The Hills doesn't rate nearly as high as Jersey Shore did.
THIS JUST IN: The Duck Phone, however, is holding out for [inserting pinky finger to side of mouth] "ONE MILLION DOLLARS" per episode. That fierce Biatch should get it - she was the real star of the show...
And, lastly, I KNEW there was a reason (besides the big guns) why Ronnie (below) was my favorite Jersey Shore dude. When Ronnie was picked up by police over the summer for assault, he was arrested under the name "Ronnie Ortiz". Word on Teh Interwebz is that Papi Ronnie is half Puerto Rican (his mother's side). Works for me...
