Will Elvira Grau Replace Dina On “The Real Housewives Of New Jersey”?


Now that Dina Manzo has come to her senses and run in the other direction from “The Real Housewives of New Jersey,” the show is down a cast member. Any minute now, Bravo will be replacing her. People has floated a few ideas for who could take her place. Perhaps Kim G, Danielle’s new friend, who’s been getting an awful lot of screen time lately for totally indulging Danielle in her crazy. Their other idea—Ashley, Jacqueline’s daughter who is constantly feuding with her mama. But it looks like the new housewife may be Elvira Grau. Keep reading »

Danielle Staub Sings Her New Song “Real Close’


The moment you’ve all been waiting for! Okay, not really, Andy Cohen, but thanks. Danielle Staub performed her first single, “So Close,” on Cohen’s show after “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” last night, alongside “lesbian super star” Lori Michaels on the keys. The amazing thing about releasing a song after fellow housewives Kim Zolciak and LuAnn de Lesseps is that Danielle, in comparison, actually sounds, I dunno, kind of good. By good, I mean I don’t have the urge to stuff cotton into my ears and I appreciate that Danielle is going for a ballad instead of some heinous clubby techno number. Sue me. I don’t hate it. As for the name, “Real Close,” well, it sounds like it should be dedicated to Dina Manzo. Stalker! [DListed] Keep reading »

Quotable: Dina Manzo On Leaving “The Real Housewives Of New Jersey”

“It got a little too dark for me. I thought it was going to be silly drama like ‘How dare she leave my dinner party early?’ and stuff like that. I didn’t know it was going to be going in the direction that it did. Danielle [Staub] made a mockery of [the charity event for the child with cancer] and she thought it was about her. These are the kids I work day in and day out for. I have a foundation for children with cancer and these families are like my family, and for her to walk in there and blow up about me—you don’t do that. This is about a sick little girl, not her, so that was it. My husband’s thrilled. My sisters-in-law, they’re bummed, but they’re hoping I’ll come back for season three.”

Dina Manzo explains how crazy Danielle made her depart the reality show that made them both famous. Don’t expect the drama to end on “The Real Housewives of New Jersey,” though, because Danielle has a personal vendetta against the other three ladies, too. We’ll miss Dina, though — and her cat, Grandma Wrinkles. [OK!] Keep reading »

Quotable: New Jersey Housewife Teresa Giudice Opens Up About Bankruptcy

“Staying positive is the only thing I could do. I have moral support; I have my daughters and my husband. As long as we’re in good health, that’s all we can do. I think this kind of situation is all over the world. I want to teach my daughters morals. That’s the No. 1 thing. I don’t have skeletons in my closet, thank you very much.”

Teresa Giudice and her husband Joe had to file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy because they are $11 million in debt. [Us Weekly] Keep reading »

Danielle Staub Of “The Real Housewives Of New Jersey” Has A Sex Tape

File this news item under Things You Really Don’t Want to See. “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” star Danielle Staub has a sex tape. TMZ reports someone (Danielle, perhaps?) sold a 75-minute adult video starring Staub engaged in the act of copulation to Hustler Inc. The tape isn’t even new; it’s practically fresh. It was purportedly shot last fall after Staub had already begun appearing on the Bravo show. Staub is 47, the tape will be released June 14, and I’ll probably watch the trailer for it when it hits the internets because I’m masochistic like that. [TMZ] Keep reading »

Danielle Staub Is The Latest “Real Housewife” To Record A Single

OK, just because you are a “Real Housewife” and your face is plastered all over TV doesn’t mean you have to start making music. It was cute when NeNe Leakes and Kim Zolciak of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” recorded “Tardy for the Party.” Then just absurd when LuAnn de Lesseps made “Money Can’t Buy You Class.” But now one of the ladies from “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” is taking her turn in the recording studio. Danielle Staub is making her first foray into pop music by recording a duet with openly gay singer Lori Michaels called “Real Close.” Keep reading »

The Real Story Behind “The Real Housewives Of New Jersey” Charity Event Drama

On Monday’s episode of “The Real Housewives of New Jersey,” black sheep Danielle Staub attended a charity dinner at The Brownstone, the event facility owned and operated by the Manzo family. Caroline and Dina Manzo, of course, are fellow cast members on the hit Bravo show, and since the beginning they — along with Teresa Giudice and Jacquelina Laurina — have been at odds with Staub. Last season culminated in Teresa overturning a table and shouting that Danielle was a “prostitution whore,” the best grammatically incorrect insult, um, ever. Anyway, Danielle has been behaving super odd during this second season, seemingly continuing a “war” with the Manzos even though they seem genuinely bored by her antics. Danielle claimed to be scared of the Manzos and enlisted a parolee with a bad hairdo and a Hell’s Angel as part of her “entourage” for this charity event, which Danielle was clearly only attending to cause drama, not to actually raise money for a baby named Emanuela, who is sick with cancer. If Danielle Staub had any supporters following this week’s episode, people who think her intentions are good and not totally bats**t crazy, she won’t have any now that the people who were throwing the event are talking.

This cookbook features healthier and authentic recipes of classic Italian cuisine. [NYC, 5/17/10] Keep reading »
