Fist pump while you can.
“The Jersey Shore's” casting director admits to Blackbook magazine that the entire cast will be replaced for the third season.
Snooki, The Situation, JWOWW, Pauly D, Sammi and Ronnie reportedly demanded a big pay raise after the first season became MTV's highest-rated series. TMZ.com reported the group received a $10,000 signing bonus and $5,000 per episode for season 2, which premieres July 29.
One castmate who won't be too bummed to be off the show: JWOWW, who "cried her eyes out" when she found out the series had been renewed.
"She doesn't want to be on the show anymore," a source told Us Weekly. The problem? Her castmates. "She isn't friends with them," the insider says. (Another source counters, "She and Snooki are really close.")
