Sheesh. There’s nothing like 30 or so minutes of heavy, will-they-or-won’t-they-go-to-jail-for-50-years talk to take all the joy out of a Real Housewives of New Jersey reunion. That said, it was infinitely more interesting (and depressing and joyless) than Part 1. Let’s get to the numbers!
Greetings, fellow Real Housewives of New Jersey fanatics (and those of you who just can’t stop watching and aren’t sure why). It’s been a scary season, what with the looming tax evasion charges, the sight of Teresa and Joe Giudice naked together in a bathtub and the equally horrifying sight of Penny’s hair extensions. Our reward for surviving all this? The reunion! Here, a recap, by the numbers, of the most important moments.
As might have been expected given the Bravontrepreneurial spirit of the Housewives cast members, The Real Housewives of New Jersey‘s Melissa Gorga has figured out a way to capitalize on the glamorous Reunion Special dramafest phenomenon by designing her own dress for the occasion with design house Nicole Bakti, and she has made the look available for purchase on Reve Boutique! Keep reading for photos of the design and a link to order one in your choice of four different colors and four different sizes!
Melissa Gorga’s book Love Italian Style: The Secrets of My Hot and Happy Marriage came out a couple weeks ago and The Real Housewives of New Jersey star is coming under fire for numerous controversial passages in the book that seem to advocate marital rape and promote sexism and gender stereotypes.

Keep reading for some of the controversial excerpts from the book as well and Melissa Gorga’s response to how they have been misinterpreted.
Real Housewives of New Jersey stars Melissa Gorga and Teresa Giudice may be mortal enemies but they have one thing in common: a heavy case of denial.

Bravo announced just a short while ago that immediately following The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 5 finale on Sunday, September 29 there will be a special “Watch What Happens Live One-on-One with Teresa and Joe Giudice” during which “Andy Cohen sits down exclusively with the couple for the first time since their indictment to set the record straight,” according to the press release.

Dina Manzo shocked many viewers when she decided to leave Real Housewives of New Jersey in 2010. Now she’s opening up to Oprah’s Where Are They Now? about her decision and where her relationship stands with sister Caroline Manzo.
Before Joe and Teresa Giudice were charged with 39 counts of fraud, Joe opened up about his fears of going to prison while taping Real Housewives of New Jersey. Before these charges were made, Joe was facing prison over another matter: identity fraud charges for using his brother’s drier’s license after he lost his own from a DUI charge.
Jacqueline Laurita’s recent plastic surgery is offering a welcomed subplot to The Real Housewives of New Jersey (the sibling rivalry thing is so crazy now, and even harder to watch with Teresa’s latest problems.) Jacqueline has been very open about the procedures she had done, and she talks about her plastic surgery plans on tonight’s episode.
Teresa and Joe Giudice are taking their mind off of their 39-count federal fraud charges by luxuriating in the Hamptoms with friend and former Real Housewives of New Jersey cast mate Dina Manzo.
With all of Joe and Teresa Giudice’s headline-grabbing legal issues over the last few days (i.e. 39 counts of fraud and tax evasion) you had to assume that “Kim G” Granatell wouldn’t be able to hold back for very long on offering up her thoughts — and that’s exactly what she did in a series of video interviews with CelebrityMagnet.com’s Tom Murro! Keep reading to watch the clips in which Kim says “of course they’re guilty!” before adding, “There’s a lot of people that are happy that it happened to them, because they ruined a lot of lives and a lot of businesses.”
For years Real Housewives of New Jersey has been ratings gold for cable network Bravo, but new reports claim they’re willing to give than up in light of Teresa and Joe Giudice’s massive fraud charges. Should they cancel the show?

39 counts of fraud including conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud, bank fraud, making false statements on loan applications and bankruptcy fraud.

On Sunday night’s new episode of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, Teresa Giudice and her brother Joe Gorga come to blows.

Teresa Giudice and her feud with brother Joe Gorga was made even more uncomfortable and poignant this year when their father Giancinto Gorga fell ill with pneumonia.

THAT’S WHAT SHE SAID!!!

There have been rumors for a while that Real Housewives of New Jersey star Joe Giudice has cheated on his wife Teresa (and they’ve had other issues, like when he called her a c**t on camera,) and now here’s another. Life & Style has multiple sources saying that Joe has been having an affair with their former nanny Nicole Cemelli for years.
Jacqueline Laurita and the cast of The Real Housewives of New Jersey appeared on last night’s Watch What Happens Live to promote the upcoming fifth season of the show.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey are currently filming their fifth season and as always, there’s plenty of drama. Unfortunately for three members of the cast, a recent altercation during filming has landed them with a nasty set of charges. According to a recent report, the cast including Jacqueline Laurita, her husband Chris Laurita, and Joe Gorga, the husband of Melissa Gorga, were involved in what is being referred to as a “bloody brawl.” Last night, a judge ruled that the three stars would be charged with assault and terrorist threats.
The cast of The Real Housewives of New Jersey is heading back to Bravo for it’s fifth season and today, the network revealed the official RHONJ season 5 homepage. On the just-launched page is the upcoming premiere date and time as well as the official cast announcement. Who’s in and who’s out? It’s actually pretty surprising.
We knew the peace wouldn’t last long! If you’ve been following most of the reporting from the upcoming season of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, it would appear that everything is coming up roses: Melissa Gorga and her kids came to Gia’s birthday party, Teresa Giudice and Melissa reconcile, and even Teresa and Caroline Manzo appear to have buried the hatchet. Yet, in typical Garden State fashion, the “Kumbaya” spirit didn’t last long. And as always, the drama started at Posche.
Most women would be out the door if they found out that their husband cheated on them — but not Caroline Manzo. In a shocking new interview, the Real Housewives of New Jersey star opens up about views on marriage and explains why she’d never give up on her marriage over just one mistake.
Teresa Giudice seems to have turned over a new leaf! Less than a week after reportedly smoothing things over with sister-in-law Melissa Gorga, Teresa has now also allegedly reconciled with The Real Housewives of New Jersey‘s mother hen herself, Caroline Manzo!
The foreclosure/divorce/debt bug continues to hound Bravo’s Real Housewives franchises as The Real Housewives of New Jersey‘s Jacqueline Laurita wrestles with the latter of the three, reportedly owing the state of New Jersey more than $330,000 in taxes!
Teresa Giudice’s feud with Melissa Gorga has been a main story line on the past two seasons of Real Housewives of New Jersey. But finally, these two have put an end to the madness and called a truce. And in the new issue of In Touch, Teresa is opening up about things between them — and if she’ll think it will last.
Melissa Gorga’s ex-boyfriend Brian “Bulldog” Bowen recently came out of the woodwork accusing her of cheating on her husband Joe Gorga with him years ago. According to Bulldog, Melissa was sleeping with him while she was with Joe and their encounters continued even after Melissa and Joe had wed. But Joe insists that Bulldog’s stories are untrue and he’s taking to his wife’s defense.
Teresa Giudice and Melissa Gorga may be family, but on Real Housewives of New Jersey they have hardly been friends. However, that seems to have changed and during one of Teresa’s recent events, Melissa showed up and showed her support for her sister-in-law.
It seems Joe Giudice isn’t the only feller from The Real Housewives of New Jersey with some serious legal issues! Caroline Manzo’s physiatrist Dr. Dov Rand was sentenced Wednesday in federal court after pleading guilty to accepting kickbacks for patient referrals to Orange Community MRI. The sentence included five months in prison, five months home confinement, two years of supervised release, and a fine of $30,000. Keep reading for all the details, including Dr. Rand’s comments to an undercover agent about his upcoming appearance on RHONJ that concluded with, “I’m going to get a lot more patients coming my way.”
Melissa Gorga was targeted in what became known as “Stripper Gate” on the last season of Real Housewives of New Jersey, and during the upcoming season of the show it looks like she’s going to be dealing with another scandal. The potential skeleton to dance out of Melissa’s closet is courtesy of her ex-boyfriend Bryan Bowen (aka Bulldog) who claims she was still sleeping with him after she married Joe Gorga. ***SPOILER ALERT***
Teresa Giudice and her husband Jo may have their handful with their four daughters, but that’s not slowing them down any. Just a few weeks after divulging about her healthy sex life, Teresa is reportedly considering plans to have a fifth child with Joe and this time around, she’s hoping for a baby boy.
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.
Despite ever-present rumors that Teresa Giudice and her husband Joe Giudice are splitting, Teresa claims that their marriage is still “great” and she keeps it that way by satisfying him the bedroom every night.
The Real Housewives of all the cities have offered up their lives to the public, and while sometimes the situations are “set-up” the drama is often all too real with real life consequences. The Huffington Post broke up some of these life-changing events by the numbers, focusing on bankruptcies, divorces, and businesses in an infographic….
If The Real Housewives of New Jersey‘s Teresa Giudice were to publish a cookbook for drama, certainly inviting family and friends (including Joe and Melissa Gorga) to her daughter Gia’s 12th birthday party would seemingly be the featured recipe for disaster. But, if these wonderful photos are any indication, the shin dig appeared to go off without incident!
Melissa Gorga is the latest Housewife to sign a deal to write a book, but don’t worry Teresa Giudice, the only recipe Melissa is cooking up in her upcoming release is the recipe to a good marriage. The Real Housewives of New Jersey star will be teaming up with St. Martin’s Press (the same publisher who released Andy Cohen’s Most Talkative) to bring us Love, Italian Style: The Secrets of My Hot and Happy Marriage.
The fifth season of Real Housewives of New Jersey began filming late last month, and as always, rumors have been flying about who would come and who would go. The latest report claimed that all five of the ladies from season 4 would be returning, but there would be a few new faces. So, who are they? One addition just may be the best friend of rapper Lil’ Kim, real estate agent Jennifer Dalton.
When the fourth season of Real Housewives of New Jersey concluded, one thing was clear — none of the cast seemed to have any desire to socialize with Teresa Giudice. She appeared to put off everyone this season, including her former best friend Jacqueline Laurita and her cousin Kathy Wakile, which presented a huge problem for the show’s producers. How were they going to keep Teresa on the show if no one liked her? Should they add new “Team Teresa” cast members? Or should they just bring Danielle Staub back so Teresa once again becomes the lesser of two evils? According to two separate reports today, Bravo decided to do both!
There’s not a funner or more dramatic group of peeps no the planet than the stars of Bravo’s Real Housewives franchises, and there is no better holiday for being fun and dramatic than Halloween, right? Right! Check out the ‘Wives and their families celebrating the holiday in all sorts of spooky, fun, and sexy costumes!
Attention Danielle Staub fans (if there are any), we have some good news for you! The alleged prostitution wh0re could be returning to the show that put her on the map — Real Housewives of New Jersey. Yesterday, she confirmed that she has met with her former boss, Andy Cohen, and that they talked Housewives.
So far on Real Housewives of New Jersy A LOT of tears have been spilled and screams have been hurled over who is or isn’t a stripper. It turns out one of them really was.
The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 4 Reunion Special has gone pretty much as expected, with nonstop screaming, lots of accusations about husbands cheating, death threats, bad singing, and concern about “the children.” Melissa Gorga even went as far as to say the reason she and husband Joe Gorga are selling their home (including the custom recording studio built for Melissa) is because they don’t want their children attending the same school as Teresa and Joe Giudice’s kids! Teresa took to her web site yesterday and addressed Melissa’s statement about not wanting their kids at the same school, as well as a number of other issues that have come up on the Reunion Special so far in a blog entry she titled “My Darling BEAUTIFUL Niece.”
The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 4 Reunion part 2 delved deep into whatever issues Joe and Teresa Giudice may have between them, and Jacqueline Lauurita claims they both assault each other when their fights get heated.
Teresa Giudice is in desperate need of a few on-screen allies! After filming wrapped on Real Housewives of New Jersey season 4, Teresa was left with no one. Caroline Manzo and Jacqueline Laurita opted out of their friendships with her and the feud between her and Melissa Gorga got much worse. Even the typically neutral Kathy Wakile distanced herself from her cousin Teresa. Now, with season 5 in the distance, producers are scrambling to even out the playing field with three new potential Team Teresa players to add to the cast!
