The Real Housewives of New Jersey season five premiere has been filmed and will air its first part (of two) on Sunday, October 6! We still have the finale to watch this Sunday, but for now, peep this photos until then!
Thoughts on the ladies’ looks this year? All I have to say is…I *love* how Melissa wore a long dress. I knew that would happen this year. 😉 (Remember when she called Teresa out on thinking she was the sh*t because she wore a long dress?)
We all saw it coming – Gretchen and Slade shopping the obligatory wedding spin off from Housewives after their 2013 engagement! The now ex-Real Housewives of Orange County star and her fiance are looking for their next gig, and according to new reports, the couple are looking to score a wedding spin off, with or without Bravo!
RumorFix claims in an exclusive that, “Gretchen and her fiance Slade Smiley are hoping to continue a reality TV career so they are shopping a wedding spinoff to any network or production company that will listen.”
Of course they are, what else are they going to do? Of course, Bravo might still help them out, but if not, do you think any other network will be interested? Are Slade and Gretchen done on reality TV?
Real Housewives of New Jersey star Jacqueline Laurita has a message for all the haters all over social media and it isn’t a nice one either! Jacqueline took to her blog to discuss Sunday’s past episode and her thoughts on her confronting Penny Drossos. Jacqueline also had a a thing or two..or three..or four to say to all the haters. Check it out below
It’s official. Karen Gravano, Carla Facciolo, and Ramona Rizzo are out when it comes to next season’s Mob Wives and it wasn’t a happy departure. All three ladies quit after they realized producers were just trying to stir up drama and knew they weren’t getting paid enough. Yesterday, Renee tweeted “b clear my sis put it on the line 4 u girls!! SHE FED US ALL U were GREEDY n now unemployed be angry at urself NOT HER #bossbloodline.” She then oddly added how her love for Karen Gravano is unconditional. Karen Gravano has since responded to Renee via twitter insinuating that she is a coward 
That’s not all. Carla and Ramona also put Renee in her place. See the tweets below 
Renee has yet to respond to any of what the girls are saying but confirms the filming of season 4 and reveals the names of the two new wives writing, “Packed and ready 2 hit #sincity w my season 4 mobwives @DritaDavanzo @biggangVH1 n sharp dressed @AliciaDiMichele n lil ms @NATALIELISE22” They quit because they realized that the producers were trying to create drama and they were not being paid enough.
Renee tweeted that her sister had stood up for the other girls and that they should be angry at themselves for being greedy and unemployed. She also expressed her unconditional love for Karen Gravano.
The new wives for season 4 are Drita Davanzo, Big Ang VH1, Alicia DiMichele, and Natalie Guercio.
It is officially being confirmed that Real Housewives of Orange County stars and former BFF’s Alexis Bellino and Gretchen Rossi won’t be returning to season 9 of the hit show.
It was earlier reported that the two were fired and E! Online is now confirming that they won’t be returning, “Neither will be returning for season nine. The feeling is both of their journeys on the show have come to an end. Bravo is constantly looking at the casting and dynamics and it felt like time for a change.”
Since Gretchen and Alexis won’t be returning, the network has decided to get more new girls and producers are meeting with new women.
I kind of thought it would be interesting to have Gretchen and Alexis return being that everyone is now against Gretchen. If Bravo wanted a change, why not get rid of Vicki? Since she’s been there from the beginning? Are you going to miss Gretchen and Alexis?
For those of you who don’t know by now, Ramona Rizzo, Karen Gravano, and Carla Facciolo won’t be returning to next season’s Mob Wives! And it all has to do with money! Weeks ago, Ramona revealed that producers didn’t want to pay the ladies. The creator of the show is actually Renee Graziano, sister of Jen Graziano, who is by the way supposed good friends with Ramona and Karen. Renee Graziano has responded to the ladies quitting, calling them greeting via twitter! Check out what Renee Graziano had to say below. 
Carla then responded saying what Jen is doing is just not cool 
I’ll be honest. I’m not interested in watching Mob Wives with a whole new crew. Carla, Karen, and Ramona were a big part of what made Mob Wives successful. Who’s side are you on?! The reason for their departure from the show is related to money. Producers did not want to pay the ladies, which led to their decision to not return for the upcoming season.
The creator of Mob Wives is Jen Graziano, who happens to be Renee’s sister. Jen is also known to be good friends with Ramona and Karen.
Renee took to Twitter to express her thoughts on the matter. She referred to the ladies as “greeting” and it can be assumed that she was not pleased with their decision to leave the show.
Real Housewives of Miami‘s swimsuit model Joanna Krupa is quite sexy, and she wanted to remind the world with a sexy Instagram selfie!
The new wife took to the social media app and shared with her followers a very sexy image of her barely covered body! Check it out below:
Joanna looks amazing and Romain is one lucky guy (assuming they’re being intimate with each other these days!). Thoughts on Joanna’s selfie? Too inappropriate or just right?
Teresa Giudice has updated her blog regarding this week’s episode of Real Housewives of New Jersey. As we saw, Penny blamed Teresa and said Teresa put her up to bashing Melissa and outing her cheating (whether true or untrue) past to the cameras.
Teresa points out at first, that her brother keeps trash talking her. First to Chris Laurita last week about how no one should take advice from her! Then this week, he tells the camera that Teresa has always had to “have her way” since she was 5. Teresa writes:
On last week’s episode, my brother said something about me to Chris Laurita that really bothered me. I decided to ignore it and not write about it, but I couldn’t sleep all night. But then he was at me again this episode, so I have to say something. Last week he said no one should “take advice” from me. That really hurt because I was good enough for Joey to take advice and help from when he was first starting his business. Then this week he tells some ridiculous story about how I acted when I was 5. Here’s what’s funny: he was 3 at the time. How long is he going to keep talking trash about his only sister? I wish he would stop, but it is taking a toll. You can only get hurt so much before you get numb. This week, when he was spewing garbage about me, I was numb. I don’t know what that means, but that’s how I feel now.
Then of course, there is the Penny issue. Melissa and Teresa confront Penny but instead of asking Penny to stop lying, Melissa digs further to try and make Teresa look guilty – again. She asks Penny how she knew Melissa didn’t go see her father-in-law in the hospital, and Teresa wonders why that was relevant.
I wish I was numb during that confrontation with Penny at Moxie, but I was more like shocked. First of all, I couldn’t believe Melissa’s questions. We were finally together to confront Penny together about the awful cheating rumors she has supposedly been spreading about Melissa. And the first thing Melissa asks her? About MY FATHER in the hospital. WHAT?
Why would that be Melissa’s sudden concern? My father was in the hospital a couple of times months earlier. Penny and her husband have tweeted lots and lots of horrible things about Melissa’s past for years and THAT’S the only thing Melissa is upset about? My father? Why my father? To deflect from the rumors about her? To distract Penny from saying things she knows about her? To make me mad so I would get more involved?
Teresa’s blog brings up a good point – at Gia’s party that’s what the girls fought about, and Kim D obviously knew. Kim D and Penny are good friends so maybe Kim D told Penny?
Whatever Melissa’s calculated reason was, it worked. The entire thing turned around on me. For two years Penny has been tweeting exclusively about Melissa, and in two seconds, it gets turned around on me.
As you all know, I never talk about my parents to anyone. I get upset when my own family like Kathy talks about my parents. Why would I ever say a word about them to a stranger? Especially someone who has been publicly attacking my sister-in-law for years? Why would I go near that person? I’ve only met Penny at events. I’ve never talked to her on Twitter, I don’t follow her, I just stayed far, far away once I figured out (along with the rest of America) that she was just trying to make herself relevant.
How would Penny know about the controversy of when Melissa did or didn’t go visit my dad in the hospital? We had filmed about it in public, me asking Melissa. There were lots of people there that could have told her.
Right then, when Penny brought up my dad in the hospital, I knew what was going on. I knew that she and Melissa were playing some kind of game, and I wasn’t going to play along.
I can’t figure out Penny and why she says what she says except that she wanted to be a Housewife. Her stories don’t make sense, she does talk out of both sides of her mouth. She says she didn’t do anything, then she says someone else made her do it. My favorite line of the night was from Jacqueline: “What are you 5? You make your own decisions. It doesn’t matter what someone else told you to do, you chose to do it. So I blame you.”
Either way, I am too uninterested at this point to care as a viewer given how fake and manipulated this show is.
Thoughts on what Teresa wrote?
The Real Housewives of Miami are teasing the second half of their season and it looks like the drama is still in full swing with the two weddings being planned by two enemies!
Check out the mid-season trailer below:
It looks like the girls get just as wild as they get feisty! Are you looking forward to the culmination with two weddings?
Real Housewives of New Jersey star Caroline Manzo took to her blog to discuss Sunday’s past episode. Caroline says she’s still dizzy from Teresa and Melissa’s drama, and discusses Melissa’s singing. Caroline also expresses how proud she is of her boys for opening their first ever restaurant, Little Town, NJ!
