According to reports, the Jersey Shore cast is set to begin filming Season 5 of the hit reality show, immediately after returning home from Florence.  The only trouble is, the cast doesn’t know it!

495 Productions is planning on making the official announcement sometime this week, but Snooki and the rest of the crew will most likely be the last to know.  The cast was originally told filming would begin in August, and with production moved up to July many of them will have to cancel lucrative club appearances – their money making bread and butter.

Hopefully the cast will be open to the continuous filming, but after the revolt they staged last season… I suppose anything’s possible.
