Dina Manzo just landed a gig on a new scripted series called Tainted Dreams, but unfortunately, she won’t be celebrating the exciting news with her husband Tommy Manzo. As the former Real Housewives of New Jersey star announced last night, the two have separated after seven years of marriage.

Dina Manzo is ready to head back to television, but this time it’s not a reality show that the former Real Hosuewives of New Jersey star is signing on for — it’s a scripted drama! Dina is set to star in the soap opera-inspired Tainted Dreams, a new series created by Emmy-winning director Sonia Blangiardo, who previously worked on All My Children and As The World Turns.

Last night, Bravolebrities (aka the stars of Bravo) were out in full force to show their support for former Real Housewives of D.C. star Cat Ommanney at the launch of her new book, The Gift. The event was held at Bobby Van’s Steakhouse in New York City and hosted by Real Housewives of New York star Sonja Morgan and her party planning company Sonja In The City.

Caroline Manzo and her sister Dina Manzo had a painful falling out last year and to this day, fans still don’t know what happened. Although Teresa Giudice was rumored to have something to do with it, Dina denied it. Regardless of whose fault it was, we have good news — they recently met with one another at their mother’s house!

Thieves just aren’t that thick these days. It turns out Real Housewives of New Jersey’s Caroline Manzo isn’t as tight to sister Dina as she used to be, according to footage of the upcoming Season 3 reunion, part 2 that airs this Sunday. (RealityTea.com had reported that the sisters were icy back in June of this year. They also cited more info from Realitycrackhouse.com, and noted that the sisters were no longer following each other on Twitter.)

The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 2 premieres tonight on Bravo and all the ladies that like each other (in other words, Danielle wasn’t there) sat down with Us Weekly to dish about the new season. Is there more bubbies talk on the horizon? Yup!

Block out your calendars now because starting February 22 a week-long themed Who Wants to Be A Millionaire: The Real Housewives of Millionaire will pair of Real Housewives from New Jersey, New York (minus Danielle Staub and Bethenney Frankel), and Kandi Burruss from Atlanta with real housewives (you heard right, real ones without television shows!)

This video warmed up a tiny bit of my heart for Dina Manzo. I thought she was kind of “blah” on Real Housewives, but she’s a good sport here. I kind of wanted to go have a drink with Dina and Chelsea after watching this, but I’d probably have dump a bottle of peroxide on [...]

****UPDATE 7/10/09 – It looks as though the paperback edition of Cop Without A Badge has been delayed. The new date listed on amazon is August 4th and the new price is $15. The price has fluctuated quite a bit since I first saw it and that may be why amazon has created an entirely [...]
