“The Real Housewives Of New Jersey” Reunion Part 1: A Study In Subtext

Ami AngelowiczSeptember 1, 2010 //

I finally got to watch “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” reunion, part one. Holy crap! I still can’t believe there’s more to come. No wonder Teresa is allegedly demanding that producers double her salary. Being on that show is like going into a war zone.

There’s so much to discuss! Like, for starters, why were they talking in secret NJ code the whole time? It was a full hour of trying to decipher the many meanings of the word “bitch,” the tenor of each raised eyebrow and the shade of angry behind each guttural growl. After the jump, we investigate the meaning behind Danielle’s comment about Teresa’s “nephew” and all the Dina drama. Keep reading »

Danielle Staub Warbles Again — This Time With Backup Dancers!

Amelia McDonell-ParryAugust 24, 2010 //


Hey guys, how did you spend your morning? Mine was significantly less exciting than Danielle Staub’s. She made her morning news performance debut on New York’s “PIX Morning News,” performing her song “Real Close” alongside a harem of gay male dancers and her possible-romantic partner Lori Michaels. It’s pretty impossible for me to put into words how amazingly atrocious this performance is. Here, let Ami try: “Noooooo! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! My day is over.” Meanwhile, Annika thinks it’s terribly sad that Danielle has stolen her younger daughter’s dream of being a singer, to which Julie adds, “Yes, and that isn’t even the saddest thing in that girl’s life.” True. Also: “I feel like my soul has been sucked out of my body.” Yes, that just about sums it up. [PIX Morning News] Keep reading »

“Real Housewives”‘ Teresa Giudice Files For Bankruptcy, Celebrates With $60K Shopping Spree

Amelia McDonell-ParryAugust 17, 2010 //

So, how does a New Jersey housewife and her juicy delicious husband celebrate declaring bankruptcy after going $11 million in debt? With a five-figure shopping spree of course! According to The New York Post, after Teresa and Joe Giudice filed for bankruptcy and put their home and possessions up for auction, they went ahead and racked up an additional $60,000 on new home furnishings — for what home?! “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” star has always had a bit of a shopping problem, but spending money that you don’t have, while filing for bankruptcy on the money you already owe seems to be, I dunno, completely insane and offensive to those who have real money problems. How are they going to afford to send their four daughters to college beauty pageant school? [NY Post] Keep reading »

Danielle Staub Accuses Former Partner-In-Crime Of Stalking Her

Amelia McDonell-ParryJuly 21, 2010 //

Surprise! Another loser from “Real Housewives of New Jersey” star Danielle Staub’s past has turned on her. Ex-con Danny Aguilar, a friend and, uh, partner-in-crime of Danielle’s from the ’80s, demanded that Danielle pay him $100,000 this past weekend. Why? Because he thinks she owes him. Big time.

Next Up On “The Real Housewives Of New Jersey”: An Ashley/Danielle Smackdown

Kate Torgovnick/Kate-Book.comJuly 2, 2010 //


One of the biggest feuds on this season of “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” has been an unexpected one—between Ashley, Jacqueline’s teenage daughter, and Danielle Staub. The two apparently exchanged harsh words online, with Ashley starting an “I Hate Danielle Staub” Facebook group. Earlier this season, Danielle threatened to call the police when Ashley supposedly texted her threatening messages. But apparently, we’re about to witness a physical altercation between the two in July 12′s episode. Keep reading »

Is Danielle Staub Really Having A Lesbian Affair With Lori Michaels?

Kate Torgovnick/Kate-Book.comJune 23, 2010 //

Chances are, you didn’t bother to watch yesterday’s video of Danielle Staub performing the stalker-tastic song “Real Close” with Lori Michaels on “Watch What Happens Live.” I know I didn’t the first time around. But the last 20 seconds of the clip is actually where things get interesting—”Real Housewife” Danielle implies that she and Lori are doing the deed. Sure, during the performance, she threw her arm around Lori and sang directly into her eyes. But when the two sat down for an interview with Andy Cohen, Danielle took things to another level. Danielle motioned to Lori sit down in the chair and than draped herself across Lori’s lap. When Andy asks, “Now are you two together?” Lori shook her head “no.” But then Danielle cut her off, petting Lori’s hair and saying, “We’re not saying anything besides that we’re together doing the song, real close.”

Seriously, Danielle? Keep reading »

Frisky Rant: I’m Concerned For “The Real Housewives Of New Jersey”

Ami AngelowiczJune 21, 2010 //

It’s been all fun and games with the drama on the “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” — until now. While I was laughing at the drama between Danielle Staub and everyone else last season, I’m certainly not laughing anymore. We’ve gone from some amusing table throwing to unwarranted paranoia, possibly serious revenge plots, and an entourage of convicts. Am I the only one (besides the Manzo clan) who thinks that Danielle is seriously mentally ill and capable of doing harm to herself or someone else? Keep reading »

Christopher And Albie Manzo Get The Millionaire Matchmaker Treatment

Amelia McDonell-ParryJune 21, 2010 //

Holy Bravo Crossover! It turns out that Patti Stanger is “old friends” with Caroline Manzo of “The Real Housewives of New Jersey,” so on the upcoming season of “Millionaire Matchmaker,” Manzo’s sons Christopher and Albie will be set up. I can’t imagine the boys are millionaires, but maybe with their burgeoning reality TV careers, they’ll get there soon enough? Apparently, the boys are looking for “brunette, Italian-Catholic girls” and since this season is filming in New York, there should be no shortage of those. Since Patti is from New Jersey, I already suspected this season will be all about tricking New York ladies into dating guys from the Garden State, and now Patti’s confirmed this theory. “There are five women to one guy, so what do you do if the city is metrosexual, gay, with not enough men? Carpe diem! You go to Jersey!” Maybe we could combine three shows at once and throw the ladies of “Jersey Shore” in as bait for the Manzo man-boys? [NY Mag] Keep reading »
