Tweet The New York Post has broken the story that the controversial cast of MTV’s hit reality show finally inked a deal for a sophomore season, but they’re taking their fist-pumping, oompa-loompa antics to another beach.  MTV scouts are eyeing several locations in the Hamptons, Delaware, and possibly South Beach.
