Teresa Giudice from the Real Housewives of New Jersey!
Teresa will be appearing at 1pm on Sunday!
“As a New York Times bestselling author, “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” star, Teresa Giudice is taking the food world by storm. The fearless TV personality is emerging as a burgeoning businesswoman through her irresistible Italian-based cookbooks and forthcoming business ventures. Teresa’s expertise in authentic Italian cooking led her to success with the publication of her two New York Times best-selling books, Skinny Italian(Hyperion) and Fabulicious!: Teresa’s Italian Family Cookbook(Running Press).”
Tree also had a lot to say to the Southern Women’s Conference Audience!

Its about to hit the Bravo fan!
I just thought of something on all the franchises the pain in the butt crap stirring people that are on the show but not main cast nj-Kim, oc-Slade, atl-Dwight, bh-Faye Resnick, ny-Poopie Pants George could actually be ON the production team?????
Hail far,at this point I am even starting to question whether I am actually a member of production. The Big Grande Pumah or whatever
pubah ? whatever that thing was that Fred and Barney had meetings with?
bahahahahaha. Im not crazy
It was the Loyal Order of Water Buffaloes Lodge No.26 and their exalted leader was given the title of Grand Poobah. Why is this information taking up valuable real estate in my brain?
So you could remind me of it at precisely the right moment I needed to know it. And you know what that is dontcha? The circle of life baby!
You’re not alone.
Ha! I knew you were behind this mess.
Ahh, didn’t Mr. Cunningham become a G.P. himself once? (Happy Days)
Faye is Kylee’s friend and we know that Kylee “owns” half of the RHOBH and i can’t see Dwight on the production team but i definitely know that Slade is buddy-buddy with Scott Dunlop who created the RHOC.
So you can see where I am going with this right?
I’m not losing it right? right?
Nope! You’re winning!
Ms Made, you are right. I think these people do a lot to drive these storylines. I also think they get paid, (Slade).
Wes: Had a nice little chat with Jay Photoglou in July… yes, Slade is besties with Scott: http://stoopidhousewives.com/2012/07/27/sh-exclusive-gretchen-rossi-wretcheds-ex-boyfriend-jay-photoglous-chat-with-sh-about-slade-smiley-jeff-beitzel/ TFC!!! SH
Whoa, I missed this article when I was on vacation. Thanks for re-posting, that is crazy!
I believe Kyle owns 3 percent of the show not 50.
Definitely food for thought. Cripes you might be on to something.
Begs the question, was the punta canta bustercluck filmed? What part did production play in that?
I bet it was filmed and production was smack dab in the middle of the action!
“Bravo, the cable channel that airs the show, is named in the New York complaint, as well. Thomas Demetrio, an attorney repesenting Arreola and Gomez, has asked Bravo and the show’s production company to preserve any video taken of the fight. ”
Maybe, at least in part
@qb – thanks for the link…to say it was eye-opening is an understatement. I think I feel a bit pissed. Seems like Housewives is barely a step up from General Hospital. So much for “reality” t.v. HA! The joke is on the viewer and the cast and crew probably find us gullible, sad and pathetic while they laugh all the way to the bank. All we wanted was “reality” and what we’re getting is made up bullshit. Bravo’s secret is out and the viewer should demand Andy’s head on a platter. I want to keep watching because I’m an addict, but from now on I will be so jaded, knowing someone is making up and propping up the “story-line” and these ladies see themselves as “characters”, like in a B movie. It’s going to take some time to wrap my head around this new understanding of Bravo’s Method of Operation. Shit.
Somebody tell me where I’m going wrong here, because I don’t want to resort to denial in order to avoid withdrawal
Tree has difficulty getting her point across at times, but she is someone who speaks from the heart.
I know. I’m not trying to be mean but she needs speech therapy because now that she’s doing event’s like the Southern Women’s Conference she needs to be more articulate.
I’m not sure speech therapy is what she needs but rather a public speaking coach who can also broaden her vocabulary. I was impressed, however, that she said and used “contrived” correctly. She is getting better.
I think speech therapy would help because there is probably a processing disorder that can be solved with proper therapy. She knows what she wants to say but cannot process the question and respond rapidly. I think a coach would help as well by teaching her tricks to use to muster a response and speak fluently. She is very intelligent but her speech makes people think otherwise . I think she writes her blogs but can put on paper what she cannot articulate.
She sounded tired and a bit nervous.
If you listen to Tree talking about how Bravo investigated her family by reading tweets and blogs and that they are very smart by secretly including her family on the show said a whole lot !
DRAMA. Bravo doesn’t care who gets destroyed …Bravo producers/executives are to blame for a lot of personal trauma on not just the jersey wife’s but all of them
I agree! They were probably pissed that Dina wouldn’t stay on the show to air out the fight with Don, so they had to bring in somebody else’s family.
Yeah I perked up when she started talking about that. It makes what has happened that much more disturbing.
She said she WAS trying to get her brother on the show but they didn’t want him at first…. but she really wanted to do something with him. Is it possible that Teresa pushed for them to be on the show but the only way Bravo would agree is if they were against Teresa and the WHOLE ‘fighting’ between them is fake?
You know. at first I toyed with that idea too. But now I am not so sure. Besides the “break up of a familby” this has only cased Tree to have more fans. Everyone loves and underdog and a bullied underdog brings out the momma bear in most of us so…. who knows. I guess at the end of the day, I would LOVE to think its all an act and that they are all sitting back having Fabellini and getting a chuckle out of this. But then I would prolly feel like a big ole dummy.
I just find Teresa very endearing.
i do too
I do too. Inarticulate as hell but she speaks straight from her heart. OT but love her boots. She looks so cute in casual attire.
She seems a lot more genuine than the others. It was hard to watch her on the finale show. She truly looked confused as Jacqueline stirred the pot with her cellphone comments, then stood back to let the chaos unfold.
This wallpaper of Adrienne MaHoof is scary. Looks like a corpse in a fancy casket only with open eyes. EEEEK.
yes. and she’s not really smiling.. kinda sneering, or something. VERY creepy
Beth, so glad someone brought that up. She needs to stop already with the plastic surgery, she is starting to look like the cat women.
I found the source of BLK water …

Eeeeeeeew! LOL!
That must be Crittofur’s bathwater. Makes sense now!
doesn’t look like Crittofur takes too many bath’s.
Not sure where to put this? I was reading a general gossip blog today. This post had an interesting comment:- http://www.crazydaysandnights.net/2012/09/so-everyone-on-rhnj-is-stripper.html
Full comment from that blog pasted below, in case it gets deleted/lost:-
“Ashie said…
Ok I’m someone who lives in nj and has probably the best info on these women. I worked in nordstrom and the older women loved to come in and spill every bit of gossip on them because they are in the manzo “circle”. Dina left the show because her husband is FULLY in the mob. Hence the reason he never wanted to be filmed. albie manzo is in it as well the brownstone is just a front. he has a girlfriend whom he bought a beautiful home for and caroline is fully aware. Melissa never danced the place she worked at in Elizabeth is a titty bar. That’s it. she really can’t dance either anyways so she wouldn’t have made much money as a stripper. me and my friends run into her and Joe at clubs all the time and she can’t dance a lick. Sweet as pie, but cannot dance.”
2:48 PM
I’m not saying Melissa was a stripper but I’m not sure the ability to dance is really necessary for some of these stripping jobs. A friend, who was a stripper, can’t really dance but had a nice body and made a load of money.
Tommy Manzo did not want to be filmed cause he has a gf and didn’t want peeps prying into his business. He is not in the mob. He’s a happy go lucky goofball. Al Sr is not in the mob. He is a nasty snarky old fool wanna be cop. That’s why he was pushing Albie to be a cop even though Albie doesn’t have the balls to be in law enforcement.
I can’t imagine Prince Albie being a cop. Didn’t Sylvester Stallone star in a really bad movie called, ‘Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot’ where he was a cop with an overbearing mother, played by Estelle Getty. I can imagine a true life version of that movie with Prince Albie and Chuckie in it.
But, I don’t think Prince Albie could ever be a cop. The psychological screening they do would prolly weed out an overgrown suckling, panty waisted mama’s boy like Albie.
That movie was the worst, but I can see Chuckie playing the part. Manzos paid to put him thru the police academy so they could pick the academy. He was then appointed to the Passaic County Sheriff’s specials. I know he received a small salary and was waiting for them to lift hiring freeze. Problem was Gov Christie was elected and forced the Sheriff out of his position.
Does Dina know he has another chick on the side?
She knew he was cheating on her before they were married, apparently they discussed it on their wedding show. I’m not sure about now.
I got another question. How many Manzo siblings are there? And does Caroline talk to them?
@Wesley- She has 10 other brothers and sisters. I think she only speaks to Jamie and ChrisL. and a couple of her sisters.
I’m talking about Big Al’s siblings. Her in laws.
Did you check out Tiny Manzo?
Tiny was different story. he was a low level bag man who allegedly tried to skim so they iced him. Word was that he always kept his sons away from bad things. Al Sr and Tommy are constantly surrounded by cops and politicians, Al Sr trying to play public official and legit businessman
I found a video on YouTube that I wont post but it was titled A Night at the Strip Club and the description says lookers nj. Anyways it was a 10 second video taken of a “dancer” not really dancing. Just laying in front of the customer with her butt in the air and ..well… not dancing.
where ? where ? where ?
I found it by searching YouTube for strip club lookers nj.Its on this guys YouTube account. So you will need to click the YouTube icon to watch on YouTube and search his channel for the Strip Club video. I guess he was one of the “gentlemen” that Melissa would have got them $100 tips from for …. bartendering to? bahahahahaha
http://youtu.be/gbfdMurRpP8
Its on this fella’s YouTube account. Apparently he is one of them “gentlemen” that MeGo would have been stupid to not take $100 bills from for… bartendering to him? bahahahaha
I never knew guys give $100 tips for bartenders in tank tops and shorts, does that mean hooter girls are loaded?
Those guys were slipping her more than the tip, if you know what I mean.
This made me think about when Caroline admitted that her father was murdered by someone allegedly in the mob during the season one reunion…makes your wonder if this is true.
Queen: “Allegedly”??? SH
Right, I should have said “allegedly” murdered by someone “allegedly” in the MOB.
So Mandy tweeted that no producer was fired THIS season, you see how he uses his words… Because she was fired LAST season.
Chia: EXACTLY!! And, many got the seasons mixed up!! Nice catch!! TFC!! SH
Bubba Jax does the same thing when she said that they didn’t file “personal bankruptcy”.
That’s what’s confusing about how they film the shows and the reunion. Filming the reunion for Season 3 after you’ve just finished filming season 4 makes no sense and confuses the heck out of the viewers.
Good luck Tre
“This is what my dad says, and he’s off the boat, ‘You were brother and sister when you lived under my roof. Now, different blood comes in, things change. Live your life, be happy, and you can’t make yourself sick over your brother.’”
Yikes. Papa Gorga really don’t care for Missy!!!!
how do you get that from him saying that? Imo he is just saying she needs to not worry about what happens in her brothers home and live and enjoy her own home
I wonder what Daddy gorga thinks about how crappy Juicy treats his darling daughter
Sounds to be like the Sr Gorga’s are giving her some good advice.
It was fun to watch but she does need help with formulating her thoughts and articulating them. I believe she will get better.
I also wishes she would stop talking about that whore meho. Done five that drama any energy. Let it die.
Teresa lied. She said she didnt want to be on the show with her family..then she said she asked Bravo to get her brother on the show.
Teresa always talk about sex. just like her brother (when not badmouthing Teresa, of course). She is attention-hungry (a bit less than missy) and loves loves loves the fame…its a Gorga thing, i guess.
Im glad this train wreck is over.
I interpreted the comment about bringing her brother on the show in reference to doing a scene with him in Season 1 or 2. I can see where a scene with her brother would be completely different than Melissa becoming an official housewife…
Thats the same thing I got from that her comment. She wanted to film scenes with her brother.
yeah.maybe you guys are right
I always thought Greggy on NJ was a Bravo mole for the producers. I remember reading where he was good friends with a producer and was his work out buddy at the gym.
It could explain why Greg was always hanging around Teresa in the beginning, to get info from her or maybe hear what her friends were saying, then jumped ship to rat her out to Melissa and the Manzos. I wouldn’t doubt it if Bravo plants moles in the storylines to stir crap up and to report back to them.
Wouldn’t doubt it either. But Greg goes to a gym? He doesn’t seem the gymrat type.
I think the Punta Cana incident was filmed also. Maybe that is what Chucky and her brood has on Andy. Maybe they threatened to bring charges up on Bravo if Andy does not give them preferential treatment? They could blame Bravo for the fight, saying producers encouraged it?
I wonder if Bravo will be paying their legal fees when this thing comes to court to keep them quiet about the filming? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
I just read where Melissa claimed on Wendy Williams this:
Melissa says she was set up and reveals that when Melissa went to Gia’s birthday party back in January, Teresa twisted her arm while she was holding baby Joey!
The party planner for Gia’s birthday, Elvira calls Melissa out on that lie on her twitter at:
@PartyElvira:
“Gia’s party was @Space Odyssey USA & I promise you @Wendy Williams that Teresa did not touch Melissa! I was there the whole time.
That really takes a lot of big ones to make up something like that. Is she really such a nasty famewhore that she would stoop so low. Say what anyone will about Tre, she loves her children and family. I don’t see her doing anything that would jeopardize her nephew’s well being, certainly not twisting MeHo’s arm while holding him. Disgusting, disgusting. I can only imagine what Tre’s parents think about the stupid crap that comes out of this woman’s mouth. There is nothing for her to do but make up lies, glad that she gets called out and the light is shined on her insanity. What people will do to be famous for a whole 15 minutes. I hope one day Joe realizes what really happened and makes up with his sister.
The part where she talks about Gia is so sad. The biggest shake up Bravo could do right now would be to bring Danielle back to the show! Maybe she believed the stories about the Manzo’s still being in the mob. She seemed afraid of these people. Remember how excited she was to get a paninni when Danny told her they were on vacation? It could be part of the reason she kept mum about what she knew about these ladies/families as well. I would love to see her come back as Tre’s bud and give Caro as much grief as possible!
I’m pretty sure Carowhine said their are 11 siblings in her family. She’s one of the middle children.
caro’s the red headed step childdddd
I thought BLK water was supposed to “take the world by storm”. I’ll bet this pisses the Manzos off no end.
Every time I go down the beverage aisle at the grocery store, there are tons of fully stocked drinks, and then there are the same 3 sad little bottles of blk sitting on the bottom shelf. Its been on sale for as long as I can remember.
BLK went down the drain where it belongs.
The producers set this up…i think they made Angelo believe that Tre wanted to do this to her. I’m sorry….i’m not buying it. I may be wrong but from what I saw of Tre, she does not operate like this. She was not the one stirring up ish with dirty D….caroline dina and jax was…tre injected herself in it…but caroline was the one talking about she investigates people and stuff. Call me naive but thats what i believe.
If I were Tre, paycheck aside because we know she needs it, I would really need to walk from this show. Andy and the whole housewives franchise has thrown her under the bus. I know drama makes for good ratings but they are sure highlighting anything that they think can cause drama and these set ups are just too much. Last reunion Andy let everyone go at her like a pinata, it looks like it will be the same with this one. He thoroughly investigated and exposed the drama with her bankruptcy, but not a peep was said about Jax’s issues. I get that Tre is the biggest draw but it is too biased against her.
Exactly….its just too much at this point…i wish she would move from Bravo and Mandy…they are scum.
ITA, because I don’t want to see Tre’s family torn apart over this nonsense. She needs to get all of these people out of her life. The saddest part would be for her kids to miss out on growing up with their cousins.
Sometimes to maintain your sanity you just need to say F it and move on and cut out the leeches and haters in your life. Sadly the kids are affected by it, but the constant turmoil and the hate mongering is too much. The kids can reconnect on their own when they are older.
You said it. And yes, the kids can reconnect later.
We know this entire thing was orchestrated by Bravo. It was a mountain made out of a molehill. The bald guy made a comment then left the table and walked away. Big deal. How that justified an entire show of supposed drama is beyond us normal people — only on RHW. It’s occurred to me that maybe the set up was meant to make Teresa looked dumped on (and she did — deer in the headlights for sure), for the purpose of uniting fans behind her as extra support for spinning her into her own show. After all, the producers are supposedly now admitting that she had no part it in. I could be waaaay off base, but just a thought.
ROL is now reporting that the the Guidices are in talks for their own Bravo show.
Tre I agree. Why did Melissa come on the show you were on. There are so many reality shows out there, why go on the one your SIL is on. Why expose your family like that. I don’t get her obsession with copying everything Teresa. I would NEVER go on a show with a person I don’t get along with. Melissa is truly deranged.
MeGo came on the show that Teresa was on because she is a boring, no talent piece of steaming dog poo that couldn’t get a gig on a reality show without riding Teresa’s coattails. Her sole purpose of coming on the show was to antagonize Teresa. That is the only reason Bravo brought her on board because she brings nothing else to the table.
It is all about Megos thrown out sprinkle cookies…LOL
lol
well, that wasn’t very nice, was it? and they were probably sparkle-y sprinkles, too!
I know Carowhine’s head would spin (not to mention the faces she’d make to prove me wrong) but , Tre is by far, i/m/o the smartest person on this show. I’m not saying she intelligent in a big way. But she does seem smarter ,all the way around , than the other gals. I don’t totally dislike KomaK but I do think her hubby isn’t what you would call manly & her life looks a little boring. But she’s the only one other than Tre that seems to have any life at all. The only time Carowhine isn’t following around her 20 yr old “babies” , she sitting around hating & plotting. Hubby’s never home. Jax , well , hear the ice hitting the glass in the background? & I would honestly rather watch paint dry or chip for that matter than watch Mego’s (home) storyline. Funny how things worked out isn’t it. The bad bad Tre is the only one of any interest anymore. ;P Ahhh, humans are a funny breed.
Tre needs to cut back on spending.I would hate to see her credit card bill each month.She has too expensive taste and with 4 girls she spends like crazy.I do hope she is helping her parents out and could let them live with her as big as her house is.To heck with Joe and his whore.As long as he is married to this famewhore they can never have a relationship.Her parents must be mortified by all this because of Bravo.I would concentrate on my family/kids/business ventures and the time she has left with her parents.Her brother screwed her parents out of their home for the lifestyle he can not live because of his whore of a wife.Time to make a decision to walk away.When your kids get married the relationship shifts.Sometimes for the worse. MegHo is the DIL or SIL from hell.
No way Tre should walk away. Not only is she the biggest draw, but Carowhine is so messed up at this point, so drowning in her own unhappiness, that she would look at that as a “win” (grrr tiger blood!) But seriously, she wouldn’t be doing anyone any favors. As long as Carowhine’s crowd is full of the dimmer bulbs (Jax,KomaK , LullmetosleepLauren) she’ll never face the true problem(s) in her life. It will always be Tre that was causing that problem. Then someone else will come along or she will try to blame her unhappiness on another cast member. Remember from Danille being this huge problem to Tre. In Carowhine’s mind that’s the honest truth. Because it has to be. Like a little kid who swears he deserves the bigger piece of the pie. As long as she’s willing to act the bitter clown role , why not let her. Tre should stay & really start doing some of the things she’s blamed for or at least act like she is. Carowhine will looooose what’s left of her mind. Don’t you want to see that??
