America, you can breathe a sigh of relief: the cast of 'Jersey Shore' will indeed be back for a second season. They signed for a reported $10,000 or so per episode (the exact figure is unknown). That's a couple thousand or so per ab. Six of the cast members went onto the 'Today' show this morning to tell Meredith Vieira and America the "big" news.

In other news from the show, they might actually film someplace else than the Jersey shore for the second season, perhaps a warmer place. Maybe it would be fun to see them go to Paris, like 'The Facts of Life' did that time.
