'Jersey Shore' Cast May Not Come Back For Season 6

By Michael Lopez

Say it ain't so! Could Snooki, Pauly D, and JWoww be leaving the Jersey Shore for good? According to TMZ, it's a definite possibility, especially since the reality stars' salaries have become quite expensive in the past three years.

It seems MTV execs have been thinking about replacing the current Jersey Shore crew with fresh cast members when season 6 begins shooting this summer. Partially because of money issues and partially because they want to breathe new life into the franchise.

Don't worry, the infamous Italy season is still ready to roll out this August, but after that things may go back to square one. Though nothing has been substantiated yet, rumor has it that MTV is setting season 6 back at the shore and hiring a crop of cheaper unknowns to fill the fist-pumping bungalow.

Many are saying the decision would actually be a shrewd move on MTV's part. The network is still planning spinoff series for Snooki, The Situation, Pauly D and JWoww, which means they can profit off the established Shore stars, while still building buzz for the newbies.
