According to various online reports, MTV will replace the cast of Jersey Shore after season five, which the cast is set to start filming soon.
However, an MTV network spokesperson has said no such plans are currently in place.
The current cast just finished filming Season 4 in Italy and will shoot a fifth season at its original home, the Jersey Shore.
Many in the cast -- by their nicknames, Snooki, JWoww, Pauly D, Vinnie, Ronnie, Sammi and The Situation -- want to start their own spinoff shows, and MTV is reportedly unhappy with climbing salary demands. The show is MTV's highest-rated ever, with housemates reportedly making $100,000 per episode.
What do you think? Is MTV planning to recast the show, or will the network stick with what works?

Outspoken comedian Chelsea Handler has just ticked off an entire country, and they want an apology ASAP!
On June 20, Handler and her co-hosts attacked Serbia and the Serbian people on Chelsea Lately when, during a joke about Amy Winehouse, they seemed to insinuate the entire country of Serbia was a “disappointment.â€Â
It didn't take long for Serbians of all ages to call for a boycott of Handler and advertisers of her show on a Facebook page, asking for an apology stat.
The Facebook page states:
“Along with Chris Franjola, Natasha Leggero, and Greg Proops, Ms. Handler for 3 straight minutes ruthlessly attacked Serbia and its people. The verbal attacks came after a clearly intoxicated Amy Winehouse ‘performed’ in front of 20,000 people in Belgrade. After and during the performance, the people in attendance and state officials criticized Amy Winehouse, who had difficulty singing as a result of what would seem to be heroin usage. At this point, the attacks went from criticizing Amy Winehouse to attacking Serbia and its people.â€Â
The page currently has over 25,000 Facebook “likesâ€Â, but the country is still waiting on an apology from Handler.
Was Chelsea out of line, or just being her usually funny self?

So is the X-ray convincing enough? No butts about it. See a photo of Kim's rear ... after the jump.

Or should we say her hubby's jeans?
Ellen Pompeo stepped out in some major boyfriend jeans for a trip to the salon in LA. But hey, you gotta be comfy when you're sitting in a hair stylists' chair for all those hours!
Earlier this month, the Grey's Anatomy star was spotted hangin' out with Nicole Richie, as the two met up for a play date in Griffith Park.
Pompeo and Richie's kids had a blast playing together, and we can't help but wonder if the mom's have been planning a joint birthday party for their kids.
Stella Luna will be turning two on September 15, and Sparrow James Midnight Madden will also turn two on September 9.

Ooh la la!
Newlywed Lily Allen is enjoying her honeymoon in Paris with her "normal bloke" hubby, Sam Cooper, and we're loving the chic ensembles she's been wearing all week!
Allen tied the knot on June 11 in England in front of 300 guests, and at the reception, the newlyweds announced Lily is three months pregnant!
Unfortunately the pregnancy limited Allen's honeymoon destination choices, and the singer expressed via Twitter: "Paris was not my 1st choice, but I’ve been advised not to fly by doctors, and it’s about as exotic as one can get without doing so."
A long honeymoon in Paris sounds pretty sweet to us!
