Jersey Shore Twits Renegotiate Their Contract Mid-Season

That, and they’re all on “strike,” now.

MTV had given the show’s cast ’til last Friday to bring figures to the table for contract negotiation, and all but Snooki and The Situation have failed to talk — but that’s only because Snooki and The Sitch have today as their deadline. Since no one discussed their contracts, MTV felt that their original deal of $10k an episode would stick.

The cast got pissed and whatever, and now they’re supposedly on strike. MTV ordered Snooki and the rest back to work for today, otherwise there’d be legal repercussions.

Why is this happening? Simply because these assholes can’t do simple math or fathom basic logic. MTV explicity told the reality TV “stars” that Season 2 (which they are currently filming) would be broken into two segments: Cycle 2A, and Cycle 2B. Two parts make up a whole, guys, just keep that in mind for this next part, OK? Ready? Great, here goes.

The cast, however, forgot about that whole Cycle 2B thing now that they’ve finished filming Cycle 2A, and claim that Cycle 2B is actually Season 3, and therefore they don’t feel contractually “obligated” to continue at their current rate, or continue filming, when they feel that two months’ worth of appearances is more than sufficient to keep them stocked on Red Bull, cocaine, cheap self-tanner and World Gym memberships. Scary shit, guys. You do realize that this is the show that gave you fame, and if you don’t stick with it at least for another year or two, everyone’s going to forget who you are (if they, uh, haven’t already) and there’ll be no paid appearances?

[Cue the ambient sounds of rather confused crickets.]

Oh, all that and Angelina’s been dumped from the show. Again.

Bunch of tools.
