  • Gia Giudice Demonstrates Incredible Resilience As Mom Teresa Giudice Enters Prison

    Gia Giudice is demonstrating incredible resilience after her mother, Teresa Giudice of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, entered prison early Monday morning.

    The 13-year-old’s mom began her 15-month sentence for bankruptcy fraud after turning herself in at the Federal Correctional Institution in Danbury, Connecticut shortly after 3 a.m. Monday.

    As for Gia, she is remaining positive and sharing her thoughts — as well as the support she is receiving from friends and fans via social media — on her Twitter page.

    The 3KT singer reportedly spent her last few hours with her mom on Sunday going to church with her family and celebrating her 14th birthday, which is on Jan. 8, a little early.

    “They had a birthday party for Gia,” a source told Us Weekly. “They had a cake and a celebration.”

    Joe Giudice will care for Gia, Gabriella, 10, Milania, eight, and Audriana, five, while Teresa completes her time behind bars. He will serve his own 41-month sentence once Teresa returns home.

    Even though it must be incredibly difficult for the Giudice kids to be without their mom and with the knowledge that their dad will have to leave them sometime next year, Gia is proving to be very brave and strong.

    “My family is probably one of the strongest families I know, so we’ll get through this,” Gia told Access Hollywood recently. “It’s gonna be fine. And when it’s over, we’re gonna be better than ever.”

  • Melissa Gorga Gets Holiday Snub From Sister-In-Law Teresa Giudice

    Melissa Gorga will get no holiday cheer in the form of sister-in-law Teresa Giudice!

    According to RadarOnline, Giudice is making the most of the few weeks of freedom she has left before she heads off to prison to begin serving jail time.

    This means spending quality time with those friends and family members who mean the most to her.

    Apparently fellow Real Housewives of New Jersey castmate Melissa Gorga is not counted among her close acquaintances.

    Radar reports that Gorga and Giudice were faking their on-camera friendship after all, and that behind the scenes, Teresa and Melissa were as distant as ever.

    It’s kind of sad to think that with Christmas time nearly upon us and Giudice preparing to go to jail that she and Gorga couldn’t find it in their hearts to put aside their feuding. They are family after all!

    But Melissa and husband Joe were reportedly snubbed by Teresa, who has no intention of “mending bridges”.

    “Even though they acted cordially towards one another for the show, their issues have continued,” an insider shared with Radar.

    “While most people would want to spend their last Christmas home with all of their family, Teresa has been extremely vocal about the fact that she will not spend the holidays with Melissa or Joe.”

    The anonymous source goes on to state that for all the buddy-buddy behavior, in actuality Giudice cannot stand Gorga and has not forgiven her brother.

    If you saw the two women during the recent Real Housewives of New Jersey reunion show, you may have noticed a bit of coldness. The source claims that the way Teresa behaved toward Melissa demonstrated the way the New Jersey housewife really feels about her sister-in-law.

    Well, if it makes Melissa Gorga feel any better, she’s not the only person who made the headlines for being on the wrong side of Teresa Giudice.

    It was recently reported that Giudice has decided to sue her bankruptcy lawyer for errors made when reporting her family’s assets. She even insisted that he was more or less to blame for her family’s recent run of terrible fortune.

    Oh well.

    Maybe the months spent apart will be what convinces Teresa to soften her feelings towards Melissa. If not, it will be apparent that few people can hold a grudge quite like this RHONJ star!

  • Teresa Giudice Sues Lawyer For $5 Million: Reportedly Blames Him For Jailtime

    Teresa Giudice was devastated to learn that she and husband Joe would be serving actual jail time after pleading guilty to numerous counts of fraud.

    Somehow the Real Housewives of New Jersey star reportedly believed that she and her husband would and should be shown leniency for their illegal behaviors.

    While a number of American citizens feel strongly that the two were let off lightly, Giudice reportedly disagrees.

    According to Page Six, Teresa intends to sue her bankruptcy lawyer for $5 million.

    The Housewives star reportedly blames James Kridel for his failure to correctly document certain assets prior to filing for bankruptcy.

    In the official court document, Kridel is accused of neglecting “to perform a reasonable investigation concerning the petition, schedules and statement of financial affairs”.

    Teresa Giudice is supposedly shifting the blame to the lawyer after a bankruptcy trustee made the claim that she and her husband had reportedly gone out of their way to hide sources of income.

    Not only that, but the New Jersey housewife is said to believe that had it not been for his actions, she and her husband would not be headed to jail.

    Adding insult to injury, Teresa Giudice is blaming James Kridel personally for EVERY negative consequence of her family’s fraud scandal.

    After pleading guilty to nearly 40 counts of fraud, Teresa Giudice was sentenced to 15 months in jail and forced to pay $422,000 in restitution. Meanwhile, her husband Joe was sentenced to 41 months in prison with the risk of deportation still hanging over him.

    Rather than the two of them serve their sentences at the same time, their defense attorneys were able to negotiate a deal where one parent at a time is jailed, ensuring that their young children spend extended time without both parents.

    With this unusual stipulation on top of a rather generous plea agreement (all things considered), it will be interesting to see whether or not any part of Teresa Giudice’s lawsuit proves successful.

    Do you think Teresa Giudice has a case or is she merely playing “the blame game”?

  • Caroline Manzo To Return To ‘RHONJ’? Will She Bring Calm Or More Drama?

    Real Housewives of New Jersey is rumored to be welcoming back original castmember Caroline Manzo.

    According to Hollywood Life, Bravo went to great lengths to secure her return to the series.

    With the show’s six season already wrapped up, it’s expected Caroline will appear sometime during season seven.

    It’s not certain whether or not Manzo will be a recurring guest star or if she’ll be a full-time part of the cast.

    Caroline Manzo does have a Bravo reality series of her own, called Manzo’d With Children.

    The extent of Manzo’s involvement in upcoming seasons of RHONJ could depend on the success (or failure) of her own show.

    Some might wonder whyBravo reportedly splashed the cash to bring Caroline Manzo back into the fold.

    Well, with Teresa Giudice headed to jail, the show is going to need a bit of help ratings wise.

    It’s hard to argue that the much publicized Giudice trial and fraud scandal didn’t earn its share of ratings.

    With Teresa Giudice gone, the show will have to step up the drama in order to thrive.

    Caroline Manzo returning to the Housewives show raises all sorts of questions as to the possible direction of the series.

    Fellow former castmate Jacqueline Laurita is also rumored to be coming back to the show.

    Both women are feuding with Caroline Manzo’s younger sister Dina.

    Dina Manzo and Caroline remain estranged and are not even on speaking terms.

    The turbulent relationship between the Manzo sisters and Laurita could factor into the new season.

    If Caroline Manzo is coming back to a show, she got away from because it was too negative, it could be that she’s coming back to bring calm and wisdom.

    The younger housewives may need someone willing to set a good example so there will be less of this in the future.

    Do you think Caroline Manzo would bring calm or additional drama to The Real Housewives of New Jersey?

  • Teresa Aprea Throws RHONJ Castmate Teresa Giudice’s “Strong” Marriage Under The Bus

    It looks like Teresa Aprea isn’t interested in being the only RHONJ star to battle ugly cheating rumors.

    According to RadarOnline, Teresa Giudice is “fuming” over on-air allegations made by Aprea that her husband Joe has been less than faithful.

    A source told Radar, “Teresa didn’t want any of the cheating allegations to air during the season.”

    The insider claimed that Bravo agreed, because they really wanted Giudice to participate in the latest Real Housewives of New Jersey season.

    After all, she was embroiled in a major scandal, the kind that was sure to bring in BIG ratings for their series.

    However during the broadcast of the special Secrets Revealed, Houswives castmate Teresa Aprea decided to go ahead and make the allegation about Joe Giudice.

    Aprea said, “Joe […] in the past he’s been a cheater, and he hasn’t been the best husband.’”

    Teresa Giudice was said to be livid at what was more of an accusation than an actual confession.

    “It’s all about public perception for Teresa [Giudice],” said the insider. “She wants the world to think she is happily married.”

    With my honey❤️

    If that’s what Teresa wanted for her and Joe, she’s no doubt been disappointed. On top of her fraud scandal, there have been numerous rumors that the couple’s marriage was strained by the case and their impending jail time. There’s also been talk of a possible divorce.

    Even the insider discussing Giudice’s response to Aprea’s accusation seems to agree.

    The source said that both “Teresa and Joe are miserable in the marriage” and added that Joe Giudice “has hardly been spending any time at home.”

    Teresa Aprea has only thrown more gasoline on the fire with her loose lips, no doubt to the chagrin of her castmate.

    One would expect Aprea to be more sympathetic to the marriage plight of the Giudices given her recent situation.

    A few months ago, Teresa Aprea was herself dealing with a cheating scandal involving her husband Rino and her own mother!

    Did Teresa Aprea throw Teresa Giudice under the bus to take the heat off of her marriage woes?

  • Teresa Giudice, Come Get Your Daughter: 13-Year-Old Appears In Shockingly Sexy Video

    Teresa Giudice has only a couple of months worth of quality time to spend with her family ahead of her prison sentence.

    Perhaps some of Teresa’s time could be spent having a heart-to-heart talk with 13-year-old daughter Gia.

    The eldest Giudice daughter recently appeared in a music video with other members of her very young girl group 3KT. The trio performed a cover of the Britney Spears single “Circus”.

    What starts off as a group of girls in a teenage bedroom surrounded by pink walls turns into a night club scene, complete with fishnet stockings, hot pants, and flashes of red underwear.

    Even the inclusion of very young children cheering for 3KT couldn’t make the pornstar camera angles and booty-shaking dance moves remotely age appropriate.

    And so you can imagine, the backlash against Gia Giudice, her group, and even Teresa Giudice herself (for allowing her daughter to be in the music video) has been fast and furious.

    The group’s “Circus” video has garnered nearly 300,000 views within two days. Unfortunately for 3KT, more individuals hit the thumbs down icon than the alternative.

    Some viewers were less than impressed with the singing and rapping by Giudice and the other group members.

    However, a number of concerned adults have left responses questioning the need for the girls to behave so sexual while being so very young.

    The 3KT channel released a response in the Youtube comments of the video saying that they appreciate all the nice comments. The group also said that the “not so nice comments” don’t affect them.

    Does this include concern that their performances are far too risque for girls who aren’t close to being legal adults?

    In any case, many are asking what Teresa Giudice intends to do about daughter Gia Giudice’s risque performances.

    The answer seems to be absolutely nothing.

    According to US Weekly, Teresa Giudice is happy to have Gia caught up in a “something positive”.

    Giudice acknowledges her impending jail time is hard on her family. Teresa’s admittedly relying on her 13-year-old daughter to be there for her siblings.

    Teresa Giudice told Watch What Happens Live host Andy Cohen, “[Gia] was being strong for me, I could tell.”

    Teresa said that her daughter promised that she would help her father and look after the younger members of their family. Gia apparently considers the experience to be practice for when she becomes a mom.

    Perhaps Gia Giudice is simply growing up too fast if this music video is any indicator.

    And while that may be convenient for Joe and Teresa Giudice, some would ask whether or not that’s fair to a very young girl.

    One who simply has no business walking around dressed like this:

    Have you seen 3KT’s “Circus” music video? Do you think the video is too sexy or is everyone overreacting?

  • Caroline Manzo Doesn’t Miss ‘Real Houswives’ Show OR Her Former Castmates

    Caroline Manzo recently opened up to In Touch Magazine about her time on the series The Real Housewives of New Jersey.

    “I don’t miss it,” said the 53-year-old reality television star.

    And it isn’t just the fact that Manzo remains estranged from her sister Dina. She said that a major reason she walked away from the Bravo series is that it “stopped being fun”.

    “I never liked all the conflict,” said Caroline. “I prefer to peacefully resolve things. When you have an argument just for an argument’s sake, like we did a lot, it’s exhausting.”

    But don’t think Manzo is overly opposed to scripted reality television as she traded in Real Housewives for her spin-off Manzo’d With Children.

    The Bravo series will wrap up its first season on November 2nd. Coincidentally, Manzo’s show will end the same day we get to witness the first half of a drama-packed Real Housewives Of New Jersey reunion show.

    With so many terrible things said behind the backs of every cast member, there’s little doubt that Caroline Manzo is glad she will have no part of the inevitable fallout.

    “I didn’t leave on bad terms with anyone, but I don’t hang out with any of them, except Jacqueline [Laurita]. It was more of a working relationship.”

    Meanwhile, Manzo’s sister Dina returned to the Housewives series this past season.

    Despite reaching out to her older sister Caroline and former friend Jacqueline, both women declined her personal invitation.

    It seems that whatever the circumstances of their falling out, the ice has not yet thawed.

    As for Caroline Manza, it could be that she’s too busy coping with cheating rumors to think about Dina’s hurt feelings.

    The Manzo family is currently weathering gossip that patriarch Al has been less than faithful.

    But Caroline Manzo stuck up for her husband.

    “I love our marriage,” she told In Touch. “We have a mutual respect for each other and we just have fun.”

  • Jacqueline Laurita Back on RHONJ For Season 7: Did Anyone REALLY Miss Her?

    After seasons of speculation it appears that Jacqueline Laurita will indeed be back for the seventh season of The Real Housewives of New Jersey.

    What could be bringing Laurita back on television?

    Allegedly she’s hoping for an on-camera showdown with Dina Manzo, her estranged sister-in-law.

    Manzo herself returned not too long ago.

    Despite being back on the Bravo series, it doesn’t seem like Dina has been able to bring anywhere near as much ratings-raising drama as the other New Jersey housewives (or their husbands).

    We’ve had a major fraud scandal courtesy of Teresa and Joe Giudice and an incestuous rumor that plagued Teresa Aprea.

    Dina’s big storyline seemed to be that she was divorcing and having a hard time dating again.

    While some viewers can sympathize, this kind of situation isn’t nearly as interesting as wondering if the Giudices would be headed to prison.

    Could Jacqueline Laurita be used to spice up Dina Manzo’s role on the show?

    An attempt may be made, but there doesn’t seem to be much of a need for an on-camera feud between Jacqueline and Dina. And if Laurita vs. Manzo is what Bravo’s answer is to the departure of Teresa Giudice, the show might be in trouble.

    Which begs the question of exactly who is eagerly anticipating the return of Jacqueline Laurita?”

    ….Aside from Jacqueline Laurita herself, that is?

    The only way that such news could be truly interesting is if she’s bringing the always unpredictable Danielle Staub with her.

    And if not Danielle, why not move to make Victoria Gotti a permanent fixture on the show?

    After all, it was Gotti herself that dropped a major bombshell during a guest appearance. Her claim that Teresa Aprea’s mother had an affair with her husband Rino scandalized quite a few viewers.

    If Jacqueline Laurita can’t bring that level of drama and interest to the show, the attempt to bring her back may have been wasted.
    Are you excited to see Jacqueline Laurita back? Do you think Jacqueline Laurita is back to set things straight or because she needed the exposure? Comment below!

  • Danielle Staub: Will Bravo Try To Get Her Back On ‘Housewives’ Show?

    It’s kind of hard to explain to anyone who isn’t familiar with Danielle Staub how she pretty much M-A-D-E the earlier seasons of The Real Housewives of New Jersey.

    Sure we have a passive-aggressive troublemaker in Melissa Gorga. The hair-pulling twins Teresa Aprea and Nicole Napolitano are okay.

    The fact remains that NO ONE can top Staub in terms of effortlessly stirring up hilarious drama!

    Danielle Staub brought out the table-flipper in Teresa Giudice. She also got a section of her hair removed by former co-star Jacqueline Laurita’s now 23-year-old daughter Ashley.

    It was during that scene that we got the iconic line, “Stay in the positive, b*tch!”

    Sorry Amber Marchese; Staub did dramatic bald spot first, and she did it better.

    With the news that her arch nemesis Giudice was busted for fraud and is headed to prison, many were expecting to hear Staub’s “I told you so” cackle echoing across the state of New Jersey.

    Instead, Danielle came from a place of love and support.

    “I wanted to be here [for Teresa] with a message from my daughters and myself,” said Staub. “Your kids are really all that’s important right now.”

    The former Housewives star said that Giudice shouldn’t worry about what’s being written in the press and on social media sites.

    “Just live your life and know that whatever is behind you is done and you only have the future ahead of you.”

    It’s certainly a touching message, but many are wondering if the timing of a statement suggests an ulterior motive…like replacing Teresa Giudice on the show?

    It’s been alleged that some of the Housewives cast are open to seeing Staub make an epic comeback.

    She wouldn’t be the first RHONJ cast member to return to the series; Dina Manzo is back following a lengthy absence.

    There are also reports that Jacqueline Laurita might be coming back as well.

    One thing’s for certain, if Danielle Staub made her way back onto The Real Housewives of New Jersey, she would quickly show all of the new girls how an epic feud is done!

  • Teresa Giudice And “Real Housewives” Reunion: Questions That Must Be Asked

    It looks like Bravo is not letting Teresa Giudice’s attempt to throw the network under the bus to save herself get in the way of ratings.

    According to E! News, Giudice will indeed be front and center for the Real Housewives of New Jersey’s post-season reunion show. And what a reunion it will be following the most explosive season of RHONJ ever!

    Aside from Teresa and husband Joe Giudice’s legal drama, there was also a fight over rumors that Nicole Napolitano had played the role of a homewrecker.

    If that weren’t bad enough, her twin sister Teresa Aprea had to cope with an ugly rumor of her own—That Santa Napolitano, her and Nicole’s own mother, allegedly had an affair with her husband Rino Aprea.

    With so much drama and animosity afoot, it’s likely that the reunion show will bring in huge ratings for Bravo.

    Some might find it strange that Giudice would even agree to appear to be on the show. In court she claimed that the editing misrepresented her and her family.

    Since she will soon be headed to jail for a 15 month stretch, perhaps Teresa feels the television appearance will be her last opportunity to make a lasting impression on viewers.

    Here are five questions someone MUST ask Giudice before she leaves the show, perhaps indefinitely:

      (1) Was having so much money and ill-gotten gains worth going to jail and missing years of their young children’s lives?

      (2) Will the Giudice family continue to try and keep up their extravagant lifestyle or will they downsize significantly while paying nearly a million dollars worth of restitution?

      (3)Was deceiving so many people worth the potential risk of seeing Joe Giudice potentially kicked out of America forever?

      (4) Does Teresa think her celebrity and wealth helped her and her husband avoid serious jail time and paying back the ENTIRETY of what they stole?

      (5) If she blamed Bravo for much of her public image problems, why go out of her way to profit from her associated fame?

    What Questions Do YOU Want To See Answered By Teresa Giudice At The Reunion?

  • Teresa Giudice: Why Are People So Happy To See Her Go To Jail?

    Teresa Giudice was sentenced to 15 months in prison on Thursday. Her husband Joe Giudice received a 41 month prison sentence. The two pleaded guilty to nearly 40 counts of fraud back in March and after a lengthy series of delays, we have witnessed the legal outcome of their actions.

    There is a great deal of anger and resentment at the famous pair, who attempted to go without paying for a series of crimes that led to a lavish lifestyle.

    Teresa and Joe Giudice may be reality TV stars, but to the American public they’ve come to represent far more than a scripted television show.

    With their large homes, fancy cars, and multimillion-dollar lifestyle, many saw them as living the American dream.

    But throw in the numerous counts of fraud the Giudices were forced to answer for, and you have two individuals who lied and cheated their way to make their dreams a reality.

    Ahead of sentencing, Teresa Giudice blamed the Bravo network and their editing for the way people view both herself and her family. She tearfully begged for leniency, hoping the judge would see her as a good person and not what she claims The Real Housewives of New Jersey falsely presented her to be.

    Teresa and Joe seemed to overestimate how much negativity expressed towards them is due to the show rather than their own actions.

    What many saw was a woman who spent the months ahead of her sentencing showing off her wealth and privilege and hoping to cash in on her fame to make as much money as possible before going to jail.

    The fact is that Teresa and Joe broke the law and were hoping to get away with it while profiting handsomely from it. They acquired millions of dollars worth of wealth that they had no intention of paying back.

    This is NOT behavior that breeds sympathy.

  • Teresa Giudice Gets 15 Months. Leniency or No? (Updated)

    UPDATE: Teresa Giudice was just sentenced to 15 months in prison. It looks like both Teresa and Joe are headed to jail after all.

    If former Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice thought throwing Bravo under the bus would get her and husband Joe any leniency, it’s a strategy she may now be forced to rethink and rethink fast.

    U.S. District Court Judge Esther Salas handed out a verdict for Joe Giudice at the Newark, N.J. courthouse that stunned onlookers.

    Salas sentenced the 43-year-old Real Housewives husband to 41 months in prison and ordered him to pay $414,000 in restitution (a great deal more than the meager $7,500 that some sources had originally speculated to be part of the couple’s plea agreement).

    When it comes to Teresa, the judge admitted that she was a bit stumped as to exactly how to deal with the 42-year-old housewife. The judge did agree that whatever sentence is handed down to Teresa Giudice, she will serve her sentence first. This will allow their four young daughters to have a parent in the home regardless of which parent is in prison.

    Teresa Giudice had reportedly slammed the Bravo network for her portrayal on The Real Housewives of New Jersey.

    Said Giudice, “The image is little more than a carefully crafted fiction, engineered by Bravo TV through scripted lines and clever editing.”

    Teresa and Joe wanted the perception shifted from the television show to who they are as people.

    Judge Salas did not appear to be moved, noting that the couple failed to disclose all of their assets in a pre-sentencing report.

    The New Jersey couple pleaded guilty in March to multiple fraud charges, including failing to file income taxes for nearly $1 million worth of income and submitting inaccurate information in order to obtain millions of dollars worth of loans.

    Despite acquiring a great deal of wealth in recent years thanks to a failure to honestly represent themselves, the Giudice’s are blaming negative public perception on their participation in a reality television show.

    What do YOU think? Was the sentencing for Teresa and Jo fair? Should the fact that they have children allow a delay in serving jail time? Comment below!

  • Melissa Gorga Defends Aprea Family Over Vicious Rumors

    You’ve got to hand it to Victoria Gotti.

    The former “mafia princess” certainly knows how to drop the kind of bombshell that will make reality TV viewers talk.

    Unfortunately for Teresa Aprea, what Gotti shared about her mother and husband has since become a widely-broadcasted rumor. One that has caused a great deal of personal embarrassment.

    Weeks ago the Real Housewives Of New Jersey featured a guest appearance by Gotti, who told Amber Marchese and Teresa Giudice that she knew for a fact that Aprea’s husband Rino had an affair with his mother-in-law.

    Her source was supposedly Rino himself; he allegedly confessed to Gotti about having the affair during the couple’s first marriage. Teresa Aprea and he divorced for a time, but decided to get back together.

    Marchese had ample reason to eat up the gossip as she was feuding with Aprea and her twin sister Nicole Napolitano.

    It was Melissa Gorga who inadvertedly fanned the flames by informing the twins that Marchese was spreading rumors.

    Marchese made the mistake of telling Gorga that Napolitano was instrumental in the ruining of a marriage by having an affair with another woman’s husband.

    When Gorga reported what Marchese said back to the twins, it led to a violent confrontation between Marchese, Aprea, and Napolitano.

    That rumor has not too surprisingly been overshadowed by Gotti’s bombshell revelation to Giudice and Marchese.

    As Aprea struggles to deal with the ugly accusation, her good friend Gorga has gone on record as saying that she finds the “disgusting” rumor to be “100 percent untrue”.

    Gorga spoke up on behalf of Santa Napolitano, the twins’ mother, when she and her husband Joe appeared on Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live on Sunday.

    “If you ever met [Santa] she’s just the sweetest, nicest lady,” said Gorga. She added that there was “no tension” and that the family enjoys a “tight bond”.

    For these reasons she seems absolutely certain that what was said by Gotti has no basis in reality.

  • Teresa Giudice: RHONJ Star May Make Millions Off Home

    Eyebrows have raised, but not at the news that Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice and her husband Joe intend to sell their house.

    Instead, people are doing spit-takes at the intended price tag attached to the home.

    It is being widely reported that the Giudices have put their mansion up for sale for an incredible $3.9 million.

    The couple purchased for the house for $530,000 in 2012. This is a far and away more modest amount than the current price.

    “This is a house that has a lot of bad memories for them,” a person close to the Giudices told E!

    The source added that they believe that the family is hoping for a fresh start when the legal drama finally ends.

    The couple did have extensive renovations done to the home prior to moving in back in 2008.

    According to TMZ, those renovations do not justify the four million dollar price tag.

    In 2012, the house was reportedly worth $1.2 million.

    Exactly what could have happened in about two years to make it worth nearly FOUR times that amount?

    The only answer that seems to make sense would be the couple’s ongoing fraud scandal.

    For some reason, people enjoy spending a ridiculous amount of money on possessions that associated with infamous criminals and deviants.

    With this reality television couple constantly in the headlines and on television, it may inspire such individuals to attempt to purchase their mansion.

    In other words as ridiculous as the price tag may seem and as audacious as it may appear for the Giudices to do anything and everything to garner wealth for themselves in the midst of a money-related scandal…it will probably pay off.

    The Giudices will learn their fate in October following yet another sentencing delay.

    What do YOU think? Will someone probably buy their home? Is the asking price unrealistic? Comment below!

  • Teresa Giudice Sentencing Postponed Again

    It seems that Real Housewives of New Jersey stars Teresa and Joe Giudice have been “headed to prison” for some time.

    After making a plea agreement in March following eight years of admitted fraudulent behavior, the only thing that remains is for the judge to hand down their sentences.

    However, it may be some time before that actually happens if the pattern continues.

    Originally scheduled for late July, the sentencing was pushed back to September due to a death in the family.

    Now, the sentencing has been pushed back to October 2nd.

    A loss in the family certainly provides a valid excuse for the initial delay, some are puzzled as to why there seems to be a great deal of stalling in a case where the defendants are have already pleaded their guilt to charges against them.

    “[Sentencings] get postponed so that everybody involved can be fully prepared,” explained Henry E. Klingeman,Teresa Giudice’s defense attorney.

    Klingeman said that the court is waiting on additional information from “all sides” and that’s why the couple’s sentencing is to be postponed for an additional few weeks.

    Although Teresa’s plea agreement includes the possibility of serving 21 to 27 months, Klingeman admits that he will do his utmost to ensure his client gets probation.

    Said Klingeman, “The plea agreement permits us to do so and it’s certainly a just sentence under the circumstances.”

    Joe Giudice’s agreement is not quite so flexible. It’s reported that he could be sentenced to anywhere from three to four years and possibly deported back to Italy.

    It’s still possible that the Giudices can both escape with jail time altogether, but the odds are slim.

    Teresa Giudice admitted that the possibility of going to jail scares her, but that she was able to face the possible consequences thanks to the love and support of her family.

    This may or may not extend to her husband Joe Giudice if ongoing divorce rumors are to be believed.

  • Victoria Gotti’s Shocking Infidelity Claim Angers Teresa Aprea

    While we may not know whose marriage Nicole Napolitano was accused of breaking up, we do know this: Certain people seem to be very happy to make the ugliest of allegations about the women in her family.

    According to none other than Victoria Gotti herself, the mother of Napolitano and her twin sister Teresa Aprea’s previously had an affair.

    The man Gotti claims their mother slept with? Her own daughter Teresa’s husband!

    That is QUITE a bombshell to drop, so it should surprise no one that Teresa is vehemently denying the accusation aimed at her man and her mother.

    The shocking claim happened during a recent episode of Real Housewives of New Jersey.

    Gotti was having drinks with Teresa Giudice and Amber Marchese when the subject came up.

    If you remember, it was Marchese who had her hair practically yanked out of her head during a violent confrontation with Napolitano and Aprea.

    The fight came about after RHONJ castmate Melissa Gorga tattled to the twins about the rumor she had heard from Marchese—that Napolitano broke up a marriage by sleeping with another woman’s husband.

    Gotti told Giudice and Marchese that Aprea’s husband Rino had confessed to her about what he’d done. The alleged admission was said to have been made years ago, while Rino and Teresa Aprea were divorced; the two have since remarried.

    Aprea is clearly furious with what Gotti shared, electing to retweet fan remarks calling the accusation a lie and shared a cryptic message on Instagram about ignoring those who talk about you behind your back.

    This isn’t Aprea’s first time speaking up about the things Gotti claimed about her husband and marriage.

    US Weekly stated that during a June interview, Aprea lashed out at Gotti.

    She accused Gotti of making up lies for the sake of “two minutes of fame” and even went so far as to suggest that Gotti “had the hots” for her husband Rino.

    Aprea also said that her husband was “shocked” and “confused” at the televised claim of infidelity.

    US has shared that a source contacted them to assure the magazine that the rumors are “100% false” and that the twin’s mom is “just so disgusted” by what Gotti claimed.

    It’s certainly a disgusting and eyebrow-raising rumor, especially on top of other accusations of infidelity circulating around their household.

  • Teresa Giudice Is Begging Bravo To Keep Cameras Out Of Courtroom

    Adding to attempts to secure her privacy and keep a low profile before her September 23 sentencing date, The Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice has begged producers of the show at Bravo to refrain from filming her in the courthouse. Giudice and her husband Joe have been charged with conspiracy to commit mail, wire and bank fraud, to which the couple pled guilty after reportedly striking a deal with federal prosecutors. The Giudices are to be sentenced on September 23, 2014.

    RadarOnline reported that Giudice has asked Bravo executives not to send cameras to the courthouse for her sentencing, but Bravo is ignoring her plea in order to catch this juicy bit of Giudice’s life. The network is reportedly going to use the footage for the reunion episode of The Real Housewives of New Jersey.

    Teresa Giudice and her husband admit to fraud

    A source said, “Teresa doesn’t want cameras from Bravo to be at her sentencing, and has told producers of the show her thoughts. Bravo doesn’t care what Teresa wants or thinks, and they are done protecting her.” Because ratings of the show have been dismal as of late, the network hopes that footage of Giudice will boost their numbers due to the drama that’s sure to happen at the sentencing, according to the source.

    Bravo is reportedly frustrated with the reality TV star for her bad-mouthing, diva behavior and the fact that she has decided to keep a low profile. “They tried to tell Teresa that she was contractually obligated to show but her legal crisis manager, Wendy Feldman, shut that down. Teresa’s contract is actually very loose, and doesn’t clearly dictate what media she must do,” said a source to RadarOnline.

    Giudice is one of the more popular members of The Real Housewives of New Jersey and earns up to $250,000 per season.

  • Teresa Giudice: Is That Heirloom Gift Totally Fake?

    I know that Teresa Giudice isn’t exactly America’s sweetheart following her fraud scandal, but this latest rumor seems downright mean.

    That is, if the ugly accusation being hurled at the Real Housewives of New Jersey star turns out to be untrue.

    With her sentencing quickly approaching (as it has been for some time now…), Giudice made a sweet gesture toward daughter Gia.

    The RHONJ mom gave her oldest daughter a diamond ring. The ring as said to be an heirloom gift, as it once belonged to the child’s grandmother.

    It was a touching on camera gesture.

    But WAIT, not so fast!

    RadarOnline is claiming that the mother-daughter moment was all for the cameras and that the ring in question is ANYTHING BUT a genuine heirloom gift.

    The gossip site is claiming that a source notified it that the ring was in fact given to Teresa by a local jewelry store!

    Showing the ring on camera was supposedly a means through which the company could get some free publicity.

    “Teresa’s mother never had the ring for any extended period of time,” said the insider. “It was all done for the show, and it’s now back in Teresa’s possession.”

    To be fair, RadarOnline contradicted itself by communicating that Giudice is “begging friends for money” and then writing she is “raking in the dough”. Because of this, it’s possible that this simply isn’t true. Unfortunately, Giudice’s fraud scandal may lend it credibility.

    After all, what’s one little ring compared a family knowingly spending millions of questionably acquired dollars? As such, it’s not too hard to form a cynical point of view about the situation.

    What is known is that in 2014, everyone should take anything coming to us courtesy of “reality television” with a grain of salt. A number of American reality television shows are scripted and can be entirely fake.

    The Real Housewives shows are no different, although they prove that truth is sometimes stranger and more entertaining than fiction.

    Teresa and Joe Giudice saw their infamy explode following numerous fraud charges for which they pleaded guilty.

    It’s expected that the pair will go to jail for a few years, and the possibility that Joe Giudice could be deported still remains.

    “Real Housewives of New Jersey” Brawls: Husband Edition

    Well, it looks like the Real Housewives of New Jersey wives aren’t the only ones willing to throw down to get their point across!

    Who would have thought that not showing up for a “guy’s night out” get together would lead to a brawl? That was the case when Joe Gorga, husband of Housewives star Melissa Gorga, went at it with Jim Marchese.

    Marchese runs a mortgage company which takes up most of his time. According to People magazine, the business is only part of the reason Amber Marchese’s husband is so scarce.

    He’s also actively avoiding the Giudices, Gorga’s relatives, because of their recent fraud scandal.

    Gorga confronted Marchese about his behavior outside of an establishment, declaring the man “unfit to shine [his] shoes”.

    It is clear that Gorga and Marchese have two entirely different philosophies about how to settle a conflict.

    Gorga, who tangled with his brother-in-law Joe Giudice in the past, is a far more “physical” individual who is intent to settle matters with his fists.

    Marchese prefers to get at his opponents in a different way.

    “Touch me and I’ll [have you arrested]” is more or less Marchese’s approach.

    “If I want to hurt you [Gorga], I’m going to sue you,” the man taunted.

    “I’m going to leverage your house, I’m going to give you three years of hell in a courtroom, I’m going to bleed you dry financially, and I’m going to humiliate you as I depose you for eight hours and make you my bitch.”

    ….Damn.

    That really does sound far more painful than a few minutes of brawling.

    Perhaps he should pass this wisdom on to his wife Amber Marchese, who had her own conflicts to deal with thanks in large part to Melissa Gorga.

    Amber Marchese got her hair yanked during a scrap with twins Nicole Napolitano and Teresa Aprea over spreading rumors that alleged Napolitano is a home-wrecker.

    After sharing the gossip with Gorga, the latter immediately reported back to the twins.

    It looks like on RHONJ, conflict is for the wives and husbands.

    With the Giudices likely headed to prison, Bravo has done a good job of finding new sources of drama to entertain viewers during their absence.

  • Melissa Gorga Tattles On Housewives Castmate Amber Marchese

    Not-so-good news travels fast on the Real Housewives of New Jersey. A lesson castmate Amber Marchese has learned the hard way.

    Marchese thought she was safe in passing along gossip about Nicole Napolitano. Napolitano, according to Marchese, was instrumental in the breaking up of a marriage. Marchese allegedly had an affair with another woman’s husband.

    It’s a scandalous thing to reveal, especially behind Napolitano’s back. Perhaps that’s why Gorga made sure to inform Napolitano herself of what she’d heard and exactly where she’d heard it from.

    Amber Marchese has tried to defend her actions since the episode aired, saying on her Bravo blog that she only told Gorga what had happened when she asked her why Napolitano was getting a divorce.

    Amber claims that she got her inside information from a member of the wronged wife’s family.

    She also hit back at Gorga for tattling on her.

    The angry RHONJ star tweeted, “Seeing how Melissa treated her sister-in-law, not shocked she did this to me.”

    What Marchese is of course referring to is the family drama involving the Giudices and Gorgas, which included Teresa’s husband and her very own brother coming to blows.

    It seems that this particular conflict has simmered down since the Giudices were busted for fraud. Teresa Giudice and her husband made a plea agreement to avoid the heavier consequences, but are very likely to go to jail.

    As Giudice prepares for the worst, Gorga has been a highly visible ally for her embattled sister-in-law.

    This makes Marchese’s comment very interesting. Does she think Gorga is faking nice with Giudice like she did with herself?

    The sentiment is heavily implied.

    “Melissa knew exactly what she was doing,” said Marchese about Gorga’s actions on the show, “and that’s causing trouble.”

  • Melissa Gorga and Teresa Giudice Are Best Frenemies?

    You know, there are fewer things more heart-warming than feuding family members putting aside differences and coming together in a show of mutual support.

    Unfortunately in the realm of reality television, a place filled with Z-list celebrities desperate for the limelight, you have to question everything.

    Many are counting the days until the Real Housewives of New Jersey stars Teresa and Joe Giudice learn their fate once and for all.

    Their sentencing was meant to occur in July, but due to family tragedy the sentencing date was pushed back to the month of September.

    Teresa Giudice’s fraud scandal has made her perhaps the most infamous Housewives star, and millions are tuning in to her Bravo reality TV series to learn more about her ongoing drama.

    It’s not unlike the situation surrounding Real Housewives of Atlanta star Phaedra Parks, whose husband Apollo Nida was just sent to jail for eight years. While Parks seems to be leaning on friend Kandi Burruss, Teresa Giudice appeared to have found an unlikely ally in sister-in-law Melissa Gorga.

    When Teresa Giudice made a recent appearance on The View, Gorga was right by her side. Gorga has been talking nonstop about how she supports Giudice.

    The 1800-degree turn around from previous bickering and distrust seems to have raised eyebrows. All anyone has to do is take a look at Gorga’s Twitter feed for it to become abundantly obvious how celebrity-oriented Gorga is.

    This is especially true when compared to Giudice’s social media accounts, which have become more family-oriented in recent weeks.

    Is Melissa Gorga sincere in her support, or is all the public display of affection completely fake and for the sole purpose of increasing her own celebrity?

    “I think in light of the bigger picture and what’s going on we realized that certain things don’t matter,” said Gorga. “When push comes to shove we are going to back each other up.”

    Gorga seems to insist that despite the reality television angle (and televised feuding), when something this serious is negatively affecting the family, both women know how to prioritize.
