MTV is taking a "take it or leave it" approach with The cast of Jersey Shore, Breaking Celebrity News has learned exclusively.

The cast's original all-for-one, one-for-all contract status had fallen apart and MTV had given the show's stars until last Friday to individually negotiate new deals, a source close to the cast tells Breaking Celebrity News.

"None of them did. So when the 16th passed and there were no new deals, MTV took the position that all the cast's original contracts were still in force at their $10,000 an episode fee."
