• 'RHONJ' Teresa Giudice Debuts Online Cooking Show, But Who'll Watch?

    Several weeks ago we heard about how Teresa Giudice was rumored to be ironing out the details in order to launch a cooking show once she finishes serving her 15-month prison term for financial crimes. The former star of "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" is trying to figure out how to provide for her four daughters later on as well as in the immediate future. One thing is for certain, her shady husband Joe Giudice will likely be of much financial help. It seems, though, that at least for now Bravo has opted to sever ties with the reality star, so she has had to get a bit creative. Glam.com offered her an online cooking show, and Giudice jumped at the chance. Her first episode of "Haute Hostess" is online now and features Giudice making shrimp and pasta from her cookbook "Fabulicious." Throughout her years on "RHONJ," it was always insinuated that Giudice rarely cooks, so peddling her books is just about as fraudulent as everything else she has done to make some fast cash. A few years ago, when Giudice's fan base was huge, the idea of a Web cooking show would have taken off like crazy, but now not so much. There is little doubt that she is hoping that "Haute Hostess" will be an online hit and that it will make Bravo's executives reconsider whether or not to take another chance on her.

  • 'RHONJ' Teresa Giudice Sues Bankruptcy Attorney James Kridel

    Remember how Teresa Giudice stood before the judge in open court in early October and said she was ready to take full responsibility for her bad business decisions that resulted in her and husband Joe Giudice defrauding just about every business partner they have had in the last several years? Well, scratch that because it looks like Teresa was more interested in saying the right thing in the hopes of getting out of a prison stint. It did not work, as "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" star is expected to turn herself in to begin serving 15 months Jan. 5, but she has decided to play the blame game before she goes away. Teresa has filed a $5 million lawsuit against her bankruptcy attorney James Kridel, basically blaming his ineptness for her being sentenced to prison. A list of assets had been requested by the court, and while it was submitted — late — it was also missing numerous things, such as property and luxury items owned by the Giudices. When they arrived for sentencing in October, they were vilified for not reporting everything and concealing assets right up to the end, which may have been the thing that prompted the judge to throw the proverbial book at Teresa. It is also a convenient way for the reality star to shift the blame onto someone other than herself, and that is exactly what she is attempting to do with Kridel. Plus, she is now broke and still has to pay back more than $200,000 in restitution as part of her sentencing, so Teresa is really desperate to generate cash flow from wherever she can, and she knows that her options are limited.

  • After 'RHONJ,' Bravo Is Finished Doing Business with Teresa Giudice

    It looks like Teresa Giudice may have a harder time cashing in after she serves her 15 months behind bars than she originally had thought. "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" star had reportedly been hoping to secure some sort of television deal with Bravo, either for a cooking show or her own reality show, that would begin production around April 2016 after her release. Instead, it seems like the network is just about finished doing business with the woman who has been convicted of several financial crimes. At one point in time, Giudice had several endorsement deals, but the majority of those have been shelved and she still owes more than $200,000 in restitution plus has four kids to raise. Money has become a huge issue for the fallen star, but according to Radar Online, Bravo is not jumping at the chance to do anymore business with her. "Teresa hasn't been offered any new projects with Bravo. In fact, there is a lot of bad feelings where Bravo and Teresa are concerned. The network feels used and was stunned Teresa said in court documents that the show was a sham. Bravo would never sign Teresa up for her own show after everything that has gone down! It seems like someone that was once close to Teresa is now floating false stories about her, hoping to get back in good favor with her. It's not going to work," said a source close to the situation.

  • 'RHONJ' Teresa Giudice Getting Divorce Papers Ready as Marriage to Joe Giudice Is in Ruins

    Teresa Giudice is scheduled to surrender to authorities at a prison camp in Connecticut Jan. 5, a stint that will ultimately keep her locked away from her kids for 15 months. One of the ways that "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" star is dealing with her temporary fate is by beginning to plan for her life afterward. Once she is released, her husband Joe Giudice will immediately begin serving a 41-month sentence for a string of financial crimes, and it is unlikely that they will be married once he is a free man. According to a report by the "Daily Mail," Teresa is already planning on having Joe served with divorce papers shortly after he is locked up. She is already furious that she trusted his business dealings only to find herself a convicted felon who needs to serve prison time. The reality star has insisted that she was prone to signing things that her husband put in front of her without really understanding what the documents actually were. As time has gine on, Teresa has found the resentment growing and she knows that it will only be worse once she is locked up while Joe is still walking free.

  • 'RHONJ' Teresa Giudice Trying to Force Husband Into Rehab to Delay Her Prison Time

    Desperate times call for desperate measures, and it sounds like Teresa Giudice is willing to do anything to postpone her 15-month jail stay. The star of "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" has admitted that since being sentenced that her husband, Joe Giudice, has a drinking problem. In fact, his defense team tried to use his addiction to try and sway the judge toward sending him to rehab rather than jail for his string of financial crimes. That did not work, but now Teresa has found a way for her husband's battle with booze to actually help her. According to a report by Radar Online, Teresa is supposedly pushing hard for Joe to check himself into a rehab facility ahead of her Jan. 5 surrender date. Apparently, she is hoping that if Joe were to go to rehab, then her attorney could petition the court to change her surrender date. The judge in this case has said she does not want the Giudices's four daughters to be left at home without a parent, so she probably would be willing to change Teresa's date if her husband were to decide to get help.

  • Caroline Manzo Reportedly Returning to 'RHONJ' Once Teresa Giudice's in Prison

    We recently told you that Bravo was working hard to try and strike a deal with Caroline Manzo to bring her back to "The Real Housewives of New Jersey." She opted out of filming the most recent season, so the producers brought in a trio of new ladies who just did not click with the audience. Midway through, they brought Jacqueline Laurita back in a desperate attempt to get former fans to tune back in, and they realize that for the show to have any chance of pulling decent numbers, they need a favorite like Manzo back in the fold. Teresa Giudice used to be the glue that held "RHONJ" together, and viewers loved the havoc she wrecked in nearly episode. There seems to be a huge difference between lying about her sister-in-law's activities and bilking people out of millions, and once it was confirmed that Giudice is a criminal, her fans became few and far between. Bravo also has to try and clean up the reputation of the show because Giudice is headed to prison, Laurita's tax evasion has been catching headlines and Joe and Melissa Gorga's business dealings are always questionable. Part of what makes Manzo so popular is that she comes across as the hardworking, Italian mother, something that is respected. According to The Hollywood Life, it looks like Manzo is a sure bet to return to the show for Season 7, especially once Giudice is in jail and the rest of the ladies are in one way or another affected by her absence.

  • Joe Giudice Cheating on Teresa Giudice Again? New Rumors Accuse 'RHONJ' Star

    It seems like just about once every year Joe Giudice finds himself caught up in allegations that he has cheated on his wife, Teresa Giudice. "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" stars have been trying really hard to present a united front when Bravo's cameras are rolling, but behind the scenes various sources have been saying for months now that things are a mess.

  • 'RHONJ' Teresa Giudice Wasting Away as Incarceration Date Nears

    When Teresa Giudice was sentenced to prison along with her husband Joe in early October, the judge thought she was being kind by allowing Teresa to report to a prison camp Jan. 5. Those few extra months of freedom meant both parents would be able to spend maybe their last holiday season together with their four daughters. While "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" couple has tried to publicly present a united front, the truth of the matter is that behind the scenes they are falling apart. Joe used his alcoholism as a way to try and get out of jail time, as his attorney made a plea for him to go to rehab rather than prison. That attempt failed and Joe's actions since being convicted are hardly that of a man looking to get sober. Instead, multiple sources close to the family have said he is out at the bars daily, and Teresa is not doing much better. According to a report by Radar Online, Teresa is barely eating anything at all and has lost 11 pounds in the last month. Friends claim she lives on coffee, wine and a few nibbles here and there because she is super stressed about going to jail. While she has not yet said it out loud, Teresa has to be, on some level, concerned about leaving her kids with a man who cannot stay sober. She likely never really believed that she would go to prison for the few counts of fraud she pled guilty to. If she did entertain even the notion, it was probably something that was, in her mind, years away — after Joe finished serving his time.

  • 'RHONJ' Teresa Giudice Spending Last Days of Freedom Partying, Not at Home with 4 Daughters

    Teresa Giudice must feel like the walls are closing in around her. "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" star has to report to a Connecticut prison camp Jan. 5 to begin serving a 15-month sentence, according to TMZ, after pleading guilty to multiple counts of fraud. While she has been publicly selling the idea of keeping her family rock-solid and united through this crisis, behind closed doors it has been quite the opposite. We have already told you that Joe Giudice, Teresa's husband, is rarely home. Instead, he has been spotted out on a daily basis with his crew of drinking buddies, drowning his sorrows. After Teresa finishes serving her sentence, then it will be Joe's turn to spend nearly four years behind bars, after which he will likely be deported back to Italy. Their days living under the same roof as a family are clearly numbered, and it is likely that once Teresa is released from jail she will file for divorce from Joe once and for all. While she claims to be spending every moment with her four daughters, sources close to the reality star are telling a different story: Apparently she is spending her last days of freedom partying with friends instead of being at home with her four daughters. According to a report by Radar Online, Teresa has been spotted out almost every night with her friends. Fresco is the Montclair, New Jersey, eatery that has confirmed that the "RHONJ" star often comes in for dinner with friends and no kids.

  • 'RHONJ' Teresa Giudice Presenting United Family Front but Husband Joe Reportedly Drinking with Friends, Avoiding Home

"The Real Housewives of New Jersey" star got the shock of a lifetime last month when not only was she sentenced to 15 months in prison, but she also learned that she would have to serve her time before her shady husband Joe Giudice serves his. Teresa now has to turn herself in to authorities Jan. 5 and she has purposely devoted the weeks leading up to that date to her family, putting up a unified front. Unfortunately, Joe is not exactly on the same page. Joe intentionally involved his wife in all of his fraudulent business dealings, but he is not exactly being supportive to her or their four kids at all right now. According to a "Radar Online" report, Joe's admitted alcoholism has gotten considerably worse since sentencing: He is reportedly drinking with friends and avoiding being at home.

She is also currently $13.5 million in debt, but none of that mattered when it was time to bank roll her 13-year-old daughter Gia Guidice's music video. Apparently, Gia and her two besties have formed a girl group called 3KT and they not only remade Britney Spears's hit song "Circus," but decided they needed a cool video to go along with it.

She and husband Joe Giudice are celebrating their 15th anniversary this weekend, and it was commemorated with a photo of the couple together.
