The 'Jersey Shore' cast has reportedly been told by MTV authorities to keep themselves free during the month of May as shooting for the next season is to start off with a bang. The new season is scheduled to premiere this July.

However, amidst reports about the party hard folks of the 'Jersey Shore' cast and their demands to get a salary hike for the forth coming season, there are good news pouring in for them that this season just might see a steep hike in their fees, some of the cast just might get to see the door if too much is demanded though.

Reportedly, MTV has the rights to get the entire cast back for the fourth season if so required.

Further reports suggest that cast members like The Situation, Snooki and Pauly D just might seal deals with MTV for a fee hike of nearly 200%. MTV has denied getting into any detailed contract talks with anyone from the cast of 'Jersey Shore' so far.

Some reports floating around also suggest that the cast of the 'Jersey Shore' were to start shooting the in-house scenes but had refused to do so as they were adamant about signing in for new contracts before they started shooting for the forth coming season.

According to the buzz, cast members like JWoww, Pauly D, Sammi, Vinny and Ronnie are the ones who are creating the fuss about the new contracts. Well, with the new season scheduled to be aired soon, we just hope that the shooting would start off on time!
