Teresa Giudice isn't about to let something like a prison stint get in the way of her career as a reality television star and apparently neither is Bravo. The Real Housewives of New Jersey star is currently serving a 13-month sentence in Danbury, Connecticut after pleading guilty to various financial crimes, but all sorts of new ideas are presenting themselves. Also, we're now hearing that the network wants Giudice to return to RHONJ once she is released from prison.

According to a new report by Us Weekly, Bravo is looking for fresh talent to breathe new life into the show but they also would really like Giudice to rejoin the cast in season seven once she is released. In the meantime her husband, Joe Giudice, is reportedly working out the details to do a spinoff show that would focus on his life as a single dad to the couple's four daughters. The catch is that Teresa would need to be involved somehow, via phone calls from prison and emails because she's obviously the big draw.

While the adults are trying to figure out how to secure their next paychecks, we told you yesterday that their oldest daughter, 14-year-old Gia Giudice has been feeling some very adult pressure to step up and help. She has taken on the role of being a second mother to her sisters and she is also charging quite a bit for interviews because the family is really strapped for cash.

Are you hoping that Giudice will return to RHONJ after she gets out of jail? Do you think that this experience will really change her or will the reality star fall back into the same patterns once she's able to return to normal life? Tell us your thoughts in the comments below!
