Oh, those crazy kids from Jersey Shore. They love to drink, and they’re well-known for getting into a bar fight or four. But now they’re really pushing it and demanding that they be paid more for their reality stardom.

And MTV is getting a little aggravated by the cast’s demands. In fact, one source reported to TMZ: “The show is not about famous rich people with managers coming to the Shore.” Indeed. It’s about a group of Italian-American drunks who like to go to the gym, do laundry, and go tanning.

MTV producers are getting so tired of the prima donna attitude of the show’s cast that they are thinking of cutting a few of the self-proclaimed “guidos and guidettes” loose.

The only three cast members that they deem as truly necessary to the show are Snooki, The Situation, and Pauly D.

And now the cast is on strike. TMZ says, “The cast was supposed to begin shooting ‘at home’ scenes today for season three, but we’re told JWoww, Ronnie, Sammi, Pauly D and Vinny—who are spread out between New York and Rhode Island—told the crews they weren’t shooting without new contracts.”

I find it hard to sympathize with these kids. I mean, they get paid a crapload of money to go to bars, fist-pump the air, and drink loads of booze. Hell…I do that for free.
