"Jersey Shore" Recast Looming After Season 5: Report

A "Jersey Shore" without Snooki and the gang? Say it ain't so!

According to reports, MTV plans to recast the now infamous reality show after the original crew films one final season in Seaside Heights this summer.

"After this group comes back from Italy and shoots season 5 this summer, that will be the end for them," a source tells Us Weekly.

The insider goes on to cite the cast's high salaries and outside commitments as reasons to move on with a new group -- not to mention the publicity and paparazzi constantly surrounding them.

The new cast will be "a lot cheaper," but that the current stars "will leave on a high note."

With each passing season, the "Jersey Shore" cast holds out for a bigger pay raise, arguing they bring in the big bucks from sponsorship deals and club appearances they can't do while filming for MTV.

The "core group" -- presumably Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi, Jenni "JWoww" Farley, Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino and Paul "Pauly D" Delvecchio -- reportedly earned around $100,000 per episode to film Season 4 in Florence, Italy, this spring.

While salary agreements were supposedly hashed out for Season 5, it seems like MTV got frustrated with the cast's high demands and has decided to start over with a new fist-pumping, hair-bumping group for next summer.

Is MTV really fed up with the increasing salary demands of its hottest reality stars, the juicehead guidos of "Jersey Shore"?

Maybe, but it's not saying so publicly. In fact, the a network rep spoke out today to deny the rumors swirling that it plans to recast the series after the current Macaroni Rascals return from Italy and film in Seaside Heights once again.

"We love the present cast, and their summer adventures have just begun. We currently have no plans to recast the show," a spokesperson told The Hollywood Reporter.
