For the Real Housewives of New York salary dispute, it's all over but the shouting.

Presumably the shouting begins when filming resumes for stars Carole Radziwill, Ramona Singer, LuAnn de Lesseps, Heather Thomson, Aviva Drescher and Sonja Morgan who have signed their contracts, Deadline.com reports. (Calls to Bravo's reps and the reps of the stars for comment have not yet been returned.)

Sources exclusively told E! News that while the show wasn't in danger of getting yanked, its stars had reportedly been anything but silent about their salary gripes.

After stalling negotiations briefly this week, the cast reportedly settled for modest raises coupled with increased budgets for hair and makeup.

All the better to tear each other's hair out, right?
