Real Housewives of New Jersey: Joe Giudice Has Been a Bad, Bad Boy!

Real Housewives of New Jersey husband Joe Giudice just can't stay out of trouble!   The bankrupt husband of Teresa Giudice has reportedly been arrested again. 

This time around he is accused of fraudulently obtaining a driver's license by using his brother's info to get a brand new id.  His own license was suspended following a series of driving infractions including a January 2010 DUI charge.

Giudice is facing a maximum of 10 years in prison for the current misappropriation-of-ID charge.

Danielle Staub Is Relieved to Be Rid of the New Jersey Housewives

Even Danielle Staub is happy to be rid of the Danielle drama.

When word broke this week that Danielle Staub had officially been axed from The Real Housewives of New Jersey even Danielle breathed a sigh of relief.  

“I’m relieved, happy. It feels amazing to leave on a positive note,” Staub tells People magazine.

However, she does want us to know that she wasn't fired she decided to leave on her own terms (terms that included not being invited back!)  “There was really nothing left,” Staub says. “I left on my terms.”

In her own spin of things, Danielle had grown tired of the stress and aggravation of dealing with her costars Caroline Manzo, Teresa Giudice, and Jacqueline Laurito. 

“At the reunion, I knew I was leaving but I didn’t know if I’d get to say goodbye or if it’d be chased off the set,” says Staub. “I can honestly say it was starting to be a really stressful situation for me. Constantly having to deal with people attacking me physically, emotionally, mentally, as a mother, as a human, as a woman. I really didn’t want to continue that.”



It certainly won't be the same show without Danielle!

It's Official: Danielle Staub Booted from The Real Housewives of New Jersey

It's official!  Danielle Staub has officially been given the axe from Bravo’s Real Housewives of New Jersey.


The network posted statement on her exit on their website earlier today with Andy Cohen stating, “The reunion was Danielle’s last appearance on The Real Housewives of New Jersey.”

The exit puts to end two seasons of housewives bickering between Danielle and everyone she came into contact with on the show.   At the end of the RHONJ, Danielle reached an uncomfortable agreement to live and let live with her fellow cast-mates culminating in a few awkward (unbelievable) hugs.


“We thought the hugs were a great way to end two seasons of bitterness between the women,” Cohen adds.

Is this a parting of ways for Danielle and Bravo TV or will we see New Jersey's most divisive Housewife pop up in a spin-off of her own?

RHONJ Teresa Giudice Has Some Explaining To Do - Did She Forget $250k?

Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice has some 'splaining to do!

Teresa and her husband Joe Giudice have been accused of hiding $250,000 in income by the trustee handling their bankruptcy filing.  

The trustee has filed a document with the court that the Giudice's failed to report the $250,000 advance Teresa received for her cookbook, Skinny Italian, when they filed for bankruptcy in October 2009.  A couple of other income sources also slipped their minds when they failed to claim ownership of an online boutique, TG Fabulicious, and Joe's 1601 Maple Avenue Associates, LLC.  In the same filing, the couple had no problem remembering the $11 million in debt that they are attempting to have forgiven.


The book advance is no secret, Teresa already admitted she received the cash in her April deposition. 

Do you think the couple are trying to hide assets or is it just a paperwork error?

Dina Manzo: Danielle Staub Went Too Far

Where is the line between real life and reality TV?  For Dina Manzo, the line is where the show becomes detrimental to her child.  

Dina decided to leave the extremely popular Real Housewives of New Jersey earlier this season after her co-star Danielle Staub reportedly tried to interfere in the relationship between Dina and her ex-husband over the parenting of their daughter Lexi.   (Danielle denies the allegations.)

The ongoing Danielle-drama seems to never-end for Dina who was a hot button topic during this week's reunion special after Danielle decided to raise the subject of her former costar.  The response from the other housewives was immediate.

Dina’s older sister Caroline Manzo immediately jumped to her defense, yelling,  “Do not speak of my sister!”

“I just wish my name didn’t come up and, of course, that my daughter didn’t come up,” said Dina tells People magazine. “It’s all bull—t and there’s a line between life and entertainment, and I think the line was crossed.”


For now Dina has decided to put the show completely behind and passed on an invite to appear on the reunion show.

“I was invited to be there and I chose not to be there,” says Manzo opting to spend her time focusing on her daughter and the foundation she founded that supports children with cancer, Project Ladybug.

“I’m really enjoying what I’m doing now,” Manzo said, “[I'm] food shopping, cleaning and taking my daughter to tennis.”

Do you miss Dina on the Real Housewives of New Jersey? Now that it appears that Danielle may be exiting the show should Dina return?
