MTV CREATED MONSTERS! CAST OF JERSEY SHORE WANTS MORE MONEY!

Looks like the "Jersey Shore" cast has something besides gym, tan and laundry on their to-do lists.

The stars are reportedly refusing to sign contracts for the fourth season of the hit reality TV show.

The castmates, allegedly believing the season may be the show's last, are attempting to earn more money before their 15 minutes of fame run out, sources told TMZ.com.

"Snooki, The Situation, J-Woww and Pauly D have not finalized their contracts because they can’t agree on the amount," an insider confirmed to RadarOnline.com.

The source added that, "As of last week Deena hadn't signed her contract either but Ronnie, Sammi and Vinny were done," although TMZ claimed only Ronnie had signed thus far.

The contract stalemate is not the first for the cast. They've been negotiating for higher fees since the second season, when the whole clan went on strike after MTV offered each member $5,000 per episode with a $10,000 signing bonus.

Though their initial contracts only paid a few hundred dollars per episode, the crew held out for a substantially higher paycheck when it came time for raises, eventually netting $10,000 per episode.

And last season J-Woww, Ronnie, Sammi, Pauly D and Vinny reportedly refused to shoot scenes, again, because they were unhappy with their salaries.

But expect a resolution to the current dispute promptly.

"Time is short; everyone is getting concerned because they're supposed to leave for [filming in] Italy soon," said Radar's source.

MTV has not yet commented on the "situation."
