ORIGINAL POST -
Despite reports that the cast of “Jersey Shore” will receive nearly $30,000 an episode for Season Three – three times what they were paid for Season Two – an MTV insider tells Gossip Cop that the reported increase is “a bit high.”
The source, whose familiar with the negotiations, acknowledges the stars will be paid “more cash, but nothing dramatic.”
“They asked for 30 [thousand dollars per episode],” relates the source, adding that it’s expected the majority of the cast will “settle at 15 [thousand dollars per episode].”
A lot, says the production source, depends on how the second season in Miami does, though the insider says internally the suits at MTV are pleased with how it turned out.
So, will you be watching the exploits of Snooki, The Situation, Jwoww, Pauly D, and the rest of the “Jersey Shore” crew when the second season premieres on July 29?
