Poof goes the Jersey Shore salary controversy.

A rep for the network confirmed Tuesday to E! News that all principal castmates have signed new contracts to shoot a third season of the GTL-pioneering hit.

Well, let's hope—for MTV's sake—that season two proves it was worth their while to give the likes of Snooki, JWoww and The Situation somewhere in the ballpark of $30,000 per episode.

"MTV is pleased that the Jersey Shore cast are returning to Seaside Heights to continue production on Season 3," the network said in a statement.

"Not only have they become a part of the MTV family, but fans worldwide have fallen in love with them. Stay tuned for Jersey Shore Season 2 on July 29th."

The octet is down to a septet, though: Angelina "Jolie" Pivarnick, who split during season one but returned for the second, will not be back for a third go-round.

MTV supposedly had quite the situation on its hands, with Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi and pals demanding a 200 percent raise ($30,000 per ep up from $10,000 per ep for season two) before allowing cameras to once again capture their finest moments.

There's no official word as to the final amount settled upon for each housemate (Although it's hard to imagine that the less attention-getting roomies are making the same dough that MTV is doling out to the household names.)
