• Joe Gorga Won't Play Chauffeur to Sister Teresa Giudice's Kids

    After having his driver's license suspended for two years, Joe Giudice is certainly in need of some help now. He has four daughters to take care of, and that inevitably will require someone to do some driving. While it seemed like before heading off to prison, 'RHONJ's' Teresa Giudice had worked hard to iron out her differences with her brother Joe Gorga, recent interviews have seemed to indicate otherwise. Melissa Gorga admitted to having had no contact with Teresa in months, and now it seems that all offers to help are off the table. He has refused to chauffeur her kids around.

  • 'RHONJ' Teresa, Joe Giudice Ink Bravo Spinoff Deal

    There have been rumors floating around for a while now about Joe Giudice trying to score his own reality show. While his breadwinner wife Teresa Giudice is currently locked away in a Connecticut prison, Joe has failed to find a real job to help provide for the couple's four daughters, and things have gotten pretty desperate. After spending years on 'RHONJ,' this family always seems more than willing to sell themselves in order to make some fast cash, and while Bravo decided against a reality show focusing on just Joe and the kids, it put a spinoff deal on the table instead.

  • Teresa Giudice's Prison Guards Confiscate a Secret Cellphone

    We recently told you about how Teresa Giudice's family sold the first prison photo of her to the press for $75,000. The 'RHONJ' star has long been the breadwinner for her family, so even though she might have dreaded doing it, selling that photo helped to take care of her four kids while she is away, and it is no secret that they need the money. As it turns out, Giudice herself was not the only person looking for a way to profit from her time stuck behind bars. If prison guards had not intervened recently, then a lot of candid jailhouse shots of the fallen reality star would have hit the press from a confiscated secret cellphone.

  • 'RHONJ's' Teresa Giudice Actually Planned to Plant a Story About Her Own Infidelity in the Press

    While Teresa Giudice may like to say that above all else, she always values her family first, that doesn't mean that she's above getting a bit of revenge. Last week, yet another scandal rocked the Giudice's. This time around, yet another instance of Joe Giudice allegedly cheating on his wife hit the tabloids, in spite of his trying to bargain his way out of it. This is certainly not the first time that Joe seems to have been caught cheating, in fact rumors of infidelity seem to flare up at least once a year. While Teresa has never been caught cheating, she's apparently not above letting people think otherwise!

  • 'RHONJ' Joe Giudice Desperate for Cash: Teresa the Breadwinner in Prison

    Teresa Giudice of 'RHONJ' has been locked up in a Connecticut prison for a little over a month now, and her family is already beginning to feel the financial loss of her being behind bars. When Teresa and her husband Joe Giudice were sentenced last fall on various counts of fraud, not only did they get prison time, but there was also a hefty restitution amount that needed to be paid back. Teresa granted a Bravo interview and then they hoped they would be able to sell off their massive New Jersey mansion to settle up and also help the family stay afloat. As it turns out, no one wants the gaudy house and Joe is starting to panic over the lack of cash. He is desperate for cash because Teresa has been the family breadwinner for years.

  • Gia Giudice's Manager Puts Out 'RHONJ' Casting Call

    We told you a few weeks ago that a casting call went out for fabulous women in New Jersey who would like to share their lifestyles and gorgeous homes in an already-established reality show. Of course, they were looking for new talent for "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" to replace some of the dead weight that they hired last season. Now Gia Giudice's manager, Maria De Santis, has also put out a casting call for "RHONJ."

  • Melissa Gorga Fears She'll Be Fired From 'RHONJ' Without Teresa Giudice to Fight With

    Could Melissa Gorga's days on "RHONJ" be about finished? Well, there are several things pointing in that direction. Gorga's storyline on the show for the last few seasons has been her constant feud with sister-in-law Teresa Giudice. By now everyone knows Giudice is in lockdown at a federal prison in Connecticut for the next year, and before leaving she demanded the Gorga's not discuss her family in the media in any way. Without Giudice, let's face it: There is precious little going on in Gorga's life. She fears sh'll be fired from the show.

  • 'RHONJ's' Melissa and Joe Gorga Are Afraid the Government Will Target Them Next for Shady Business Dealings

    Nothing has ever scared Joe Gorga quite like watching his sister, Teresa Giudice, be convicted of fraud and then sentenced to 15-months in prison. He is also in the same business that Joe Giudice is in (whatever that may be, we're not sure) and is reportedly more than a little worried that now that the Feds have wrapped up their case against the Giudices', they'll be taking a closer look at him. During their time on The Real Housewives of New Jersey, Melissa Gorga has spent just as fast and furiously as Teresa did.

  • New Casting Call for 'RHONJ' Season 7 Out: Who Will Be Fired?

    Awhile ago we learned that the TV network Bravo was conducting focus groups to try and figure out what to do with the show "RHONJ." Now that Teresa Giudice is settled behind bars for the next year, the show will need a major overhaul if it is going to continue, and now it looks like the network is taking steps toward giving it exactly that. A new casting call went out for Season 7 of the show, proving that changes are underway.

  • Gia Giudice Offers Up Heartfelt 'Just 13' While Teresa Screams at Joe From Behind Bars

    When Teresa Giudice turned herself in a few weeks ago to begin serving a 15-month prison sentence in Connecticut, she left behind her admittedly irresponsible husband, Joe Giudice, to handle their four daughters. In the last week we have learned that 13-year-old Gia Giudice has really stepped up to take care of her sisters, and the fact that it has been a necessity rather than a choice has left her mother absolutely furious.

  • 'RHONJ' Gia Giudice Takes Care of Sisters as Mother Teresa Spends Next Year in Jail

    So much attention has been placed on Teresa Giudice in recent months, especially after she was sentenced to time in federal prison. Fans of "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" kind of knew the star was a bit shady, but it was not until she pled guilty to fraud that it became apparent just how deceitful she really was. For weeks now we have talked about the fact that Teresa will spend the next 13 months behind bars in Danbury, Connecticut, while her admitted alcoholic husband Joe Giudice steps up and takes care of their four kids for the first time. What that means that a lot more responsibility is inevitably landing on the shoulders of 13-year-old Gia Giudice.

  • Joe Giudice's Wedding Ring's Off as He Juggles 4 Kids While Teresa's in Prison

    It only took Joe Giudice about 24 hours to ditch his wedding ring after his wife began serving her sentence at a federal prison in Danbury, Connecticut. Hours after Teresa Giudice turned herself in, Joe was spotted out and about in New Jersey without his ring. It has been widely reported that their marriage was in trouble, even before they were sentenced to serve prison time for purposely shady business dealings. Once jail time became official, with Teresa going away first, their marriage reportedly hit the skids hard. Fans of "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" already know the Giudices have had separate bedrooms for the last few years because the kids actually talked about it on camera. Now The Hollywood Life is reporting that Teresa may have agreed to an open marriage while she spends the next 13 months in custody. The one stipulation supposedly made is that he be extremely discreet in whatever he decides to do.

  • 'RHONJ' Teresa Giudice Had No Family Visit Yet Because She's in Drug Detox

    When Teresa Giudice turned herself in to begin serving her 15-month sentence at Danbury Federal Correctional Institute, the focus was initially on the family that she was leaving behind. "The Real Housewives of New Jersey's" husband Joe Giudice is now in charge of taking care of their four daughters, something he has never done before, and the media began speculating on Teresa's life without hair extensions and a new chore list. As it turns out, an even bigger problem is plaguing the reality star: an addiction to prescription pills. According to a report by Radar Online, Teresa has been using Xanax and Valium for the last five years, and she has also dabbled with human growth hormones to put muscle on her lean frame. That means she is now experiencing some major detox behind bars. According to the source, Teresa could be afflicted with symptoms for as long as two weeks as everything leaves her body. "Teresa would get things through her friend whose husband is a doctor and two other doctors. It's going to be a [major] detox. I warned her about that. It's going to be hell. It's a cold withdrawal. You just detox. It's a really brutal withdrawal. She'll get sick. She will get diarrhea. She'll have actual DTs [delirium tremens, aka 'the shakes']," said the source.

  • Teresa Giudice's Friends Abandon Her as 'RHONJ' Inches Closer to Being Shelved

    After years of playing people against each other, it looks like Teresa Giudice is the one left in the dust. "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" star has famously manipulated Melissa Gorga, Jacqueline Laurita, Kathy Wakile and basically every other friend or family member whom she has crossed paths with, and now it is Giudice who is alone. After turning herself in to the prison camp in Danbury, Connecticut, that will be her home for the next 13 months, the reality star realized that even before she left no one was reaching out to her. According to a report by Radar Online, in the past these women would have been there for Giudice, in spite of how vicious she has been toward them, but now things are different. They realize that it is time to back away and save themselves from the toxic and even criminal behavior she has brought into their lives. While Giudice is away, it seems Bravo producers are inching closer to shelving "RHONJ," at least until she is released from prison. Like it or not, Giudice has always been the centerpiece of the show, and without her it is just unlikely that enough people are going to tune in to get the ratings to where they would need to be. Needless to say, the rest of the cast wants to believe that they are more than enough to keep the show going. The fact that they might need a shady, admitted criminal to keep them relevant and on television is no doubt a shot to their egos, but it does seem to be the bottom line.

  • Bravo Brings Back 'Manzo'd With Children' Adding Fuel to the Notion That 'RHONJ' is Finished

    After leaving "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" a while back, Caroline Manzo was offered her own Bravo spin off show, "Manzo'd With Children," which actually did pretty well with the ratings. Well enough for the powers-that-be to decide to bring it back for a second season. For a while Manzo's name was being mentioned as a possible way of trying to save RHONJ. Bringing her back while Teresa Giudice spends the next year in the clink sounded like a possibility but focus groups just aren't having it.
