The honeymoon period is over as it looks like the cast of Jersey Shore and MTV are already at odds again.

The issue this time?  According to Page Six, the relentless appearances the gang keeps making, thus risking over-exposure and the inevitable backlash.

After negotiating salaries that supposedly will gross each cast member $15 000 per episode, MTV doesn’t want their new brand to become synonymous with greed by showing up to every event, opening, or club that’s willing to throw money at them.

 Apparently, MTV wants the cast to limit themselves to two appearances a week and get their prior approval too.  Cast members can be fined or even face lawsuits if they flout the rules, although some of them are trying to get all they can while the getting is good.

Can’t say I blame the kids for trying to strike while the iron is hot, but at the rate they’re going, no one will bother tuning in to see the second season (which is supposed to film sometime this winter) as they all seem to be everywhere you turn.
