Cast of 'Jersey Shore"

The second season has yet to air but the cast of "Jersey Shore" is so dissatisfied over their contract situation that they refused to shoot scenes for the upcoming third season until they get a better deal ... this according to sources connected with the show.

The cast was supposed to begin shooting "at home" scenes today for season three, but we're told JWoww, Ronnie, Sammi, Pauly D and Vinny -- who are spread out between New York and Rhode Island -- told the crews they weren't shooting without new contracts.



The Situation and Snooki are supposed to shoot tomorrow, and we're told Snooki plans to do the same. No word yet on The Situation, but as we first reported ... he's having contract issues of his own.

Sources close to the show tells TMZ the cast feels they can make more money doing appearances for two months, rather than filming the show.

A rep for MTV had no comment. My comment would be what has become common place in Hollywood when actors get to big for their britches - RECAST!

Whoppi Murders her iPhone - LOL!

A schoolteacher calls 911 to report an intruder at her home and ends up getting Tased repeatedly by police.

This is a travesty and I think that not only should the officers be FIRED but SUED in a court of law along with the City or County they work for. I would go as far as to call upon the NAACP and any other civil rights organizations to protest and march in this town against such an injustice. This is clearly an abuse of power by people put in a position of trust and authority.

Kathy Lee Griffith - sad over Levi - LOL!

Mel Gibson's Wife Says No Signs of Abuse

Mel Gibson's estranged wife has filed a court declaration stating she and her children never experienced any abuse by the Academy Award winner.

A source familiar with the case but not authorized to speak publicly tells The Associated Press that Robyn Gibson filed the statement in a custody hearing between her husband and his ex-girlfriend, Oksana Grigorieva (gree-GOR'-yeh-vuh.)

Robyn Gibson filed to divorce her husband of 28 years in April 2009. The divorce is ongoing.

Neither Mel Gibson nor Grigorieva appeared at a daylong hearing in the custody case held Thursday in Los Angeles. The hearing was conducted in closed session. The former couple have an 8-month-old daughter together.

Sheriff's detectives investigating Gibson for possible domestic violence obtained audio recordings from the court Thursday.
