Breaking news – Life&Style is now reporting that Bravo has fired Danielle Staub from the Real Housewives of New Jersey.
The magazine doesn’t give a reason for the firing as an insider tells the mag, “Danielle was told that she would not be returning for a third season.” Adding that Danielle finding out she was fired “came as a complete shock, and she thought she was definitely going to return to the successful Bravo series.”
This might be the reason Danielle mentioned she was working on a reality show for herself a week ago. The timing of this also makes sense as the 3rd season of the NJ Housewives will likely start filming any day now.
Bravo did not have a comment for this news, telling Life&Style, “Bravo does not comment on casting of upcoming seasons of Housewives while current seasons are still airing.” Danielle’s booking agent also had “no comment” on Danielle’s status on the show though Danielle was likely the one who leaked this story.
Could this have to do with the lawsuit Danielle planned against her castmates? Or the threats from her co-stars that they would not return if Danielle did? Perhaps something happened during the reunion taping. We will be bringing you more updates as soon as they become available. (Thanks to our reader I’mJustSaying for this link).
UPDATE – Wanted to add that Life&Style has always proven to be a very reputable source when it comes to Housewives news.
UPDATE #2 – HollywoodLife is now reporting that a source close to Danielle says the firing report is just a rumor. “Danielle has no clue if she’s signed on for season three, none of the girls do,” says the source, adding that “there aren’t any firm negotiations going on until mid-September.” Based on track records, I am more inclined to believe the Life&Style story.
UPDATE #3 – Danielle is speaking out on the firing rumors in a statement posted on her twitter page. She doesn’t confirm or deny the firing, only giving out a cryptic message.
“Actually, I’m not even thinking about season 3 right now as I am considering many incredible options that have been presented to me,” said Staub. “Right now I just want to let fans know that we have a fantastic finale coming up next week and explosive reunion shows on August 30 and September 6. Don’t worry next year, I’ll still be the one you either love to hate or hate to love.”
And the plot thickens…
UPDATE #4 - PEOPLE magazine, arguable the most reputable entertainment outlet around, says they have learned Danielle “is likely leaving the show after the end of Season 2 and is not expected to participate in a third season.”
UPDATE #5 – RadarOnline is also giving details of Danielle’s proposed spin off show which a source tells them is being produced by Sirens Media, the same company behind the Real Housewives of NJ.
“A spin off is in the works,” a source told Radar. The deal is still in talks while a source says it will “loosely reflect the character she started on the Real Housewives and the future of her career, her high-profile life, her kids, her being a ‘mom-ager.’ But she also has a normal life with her assistant and the whole team surrounding her.”
So it seems Bravo might be firing Danielle to make way for a spin off show for her a la Bethenny Frankel.
TELL US – WILL THE SHOW SUFFER WITHOUT DANIELLE? WILL YOU CONTINUE TO WATCH?
@94 Dyana considering what this topic is about either site is fine with me. and a vodka tonic please.
@Mom2. I’m with you on that list except Mrs Limon Zirga ( Jill) She isn’t as bad ( slut bags) as the others, her type of bad makes the show fun someone needs to get into it with Alex ( horseface) and Ramoner,
I like her and Countess from Oklahoma as pals, I still want to see Luanne drop the countess bit and embrace her innner shit kicker, I want to see her drive around in a big 350 extended cab with a gun rack on theback
Hello DY and all (my manners). Im sorry but as much as people dislikes Jill she isn’t going anywhere, she has a continuing storyline with Alex now (new enemies).
I just can’t see Jacqueline, Caroline, and Theresa carrying the show well Theresa maybe but not with those other two. All they do is lean on the Granite in their kitchens or go to a Italian restaurant order salad and talk about Daniel. Its so boring and slow I can’t wait till its over although I do like the vacation episode just because how messy they all are, I bet beautiful Italy was happy to ship Jersey trash away.
I may succumb to watching tonight’s episode. But no surround sound. I actually may have to mute the whole episode. The blood finally stopped oozing from my ears after last week’s screaming brat fest.
lol @ kenny! hey bryan lately!
they will have to replace DD with someone else who has over the top issues!
Unless Caroline opens a big ole can of whoopass on Trashy T…the show would be uber boring. But that would be a fun fight to see!
I know if someone pawned of 3 screaming brats while I was on vacation, that certain someone would be “sleeping with the fishes”.
And yes, the mafia….I went there.
Dy….anything with vodka….lots and lots of vodka. Thanks dear!
@101 Bryan
Gotcha V & T it is.
@ 102 Hey Kenny ..kiss kiss D’LuLu style
Bryan @ 101….The countess in a 350 with a gun rack….LMAO!
The best thing Bravo could do would be to get a brand new cast for RHoNJ or just get rid of the whole show. I know I won’t watch another season if T&J come back.
The syndication of the housewives shows was actually decided in 2009. Most of the public were not aware of it until this year.
I can’t imagine Danielle with her own show unless it’s going to be something like HBO’s “In Treatment” with Danielle as the patient, of course.
@ 106 Hey Bob
How about a Dirty Martini. blue cheese olives
@Marzo..Can i get ya the goose?
Whatcha drinking @abarts
@83Dyana…..Hello. Yes, I have to agree. My B-day is Oct.3, the same day as their new auction date. Not to be too mean, but should be good for a few extra laughs.
@87Sven…..”Desperate and Despicable”…LMAO!
@Bryan…..”Taxi Cab Confessions”…LMAO! I’ve watched a little bit of that show. Wow! SKANKY!! Very fitting.
I still can’t get over Danielle inviting a Hells Angel to the Brownstone for a child’s charity event. Only Danielle. I’ve never met a Hells Angel in my life, and I don’t care to. I guess Danielle likes to play pat-a-cake with the Hells Angels. Guess she likes to “play” with a lot of scary people since she is so scary herself. Again, I feel SO sorry for Christine and Jillian.
Dirty D – how you gonna sell your sex tape now honey….oops meant bitch.
The others are so boring totally agree, no way they could carry the show. It wouldn’t be like watch paint dry, watching paint dry would probably be more entertaining.
@110-Dy
Cape Cod/Vodka and Cran, please.
Brian,
Out of curiosity, who are you referring to as “the girl from Oklahoma”? The Countless is from Connecticut – father is from the Algonquin tribal descent, and her mother is of French descent.
hey dyana – hope you’re doing good today! the goose sounds good! thanks!
@Joan 114 and her title is of Questionable Descent!
Dyana…A dirty martini with blue cheese olive sounds yums…may I?
@111 Laura
Don’t get me wrong, i don’t think it would be funny. I would just want to see how they would handle things that have happened to them.
@abarts.. Of course I know what a Cape Cod is My love, I’m a bartender from way back…Gotcha Sweetheart!
@ 115 gotcha marzo
@116 gotcha cutie pie
Ok, I’ll bite…
What the hell is a “Mom-ager”? Is that slang for someone who humiliates their teenage daughters on a daily basis by exposing bits and pieces of their personal lives and her private parts to random men? If so, maybe there should be a warning for all other mothers of teenage children…
If DirtyD is gone, who they gonna chase through the country club?
Cape cod, yummy, extra limes please.
Thanks Dyana.
@120
gotcha gigi..xlimes gotta be difficult,,there’s always one in the crowd geeze!
@117 – Dy
Bless you, my dear.
I once ordered a ‘Cape Cod’ and received a ‘Greyhound’. But, being the perfect gentleman who never wastes good booze, I drank it without embarrassing the bartender.
The next round, I simply said…”let me try a vodka and Cranberry juice, please”.
It’s unbeweavable that D dirtied herself off a trainwreck Bravo reality show.
Story of her life.
Hey all, again, home from the glue factory. My ankle is fine and I got new platform heels. Hey Dy, champs & tee for me. I’ve got my hotwings for tonight. I have several things to watch. First The Closer (love me some Brenda Leigh) then the housewolves. Let’s get ready for some more Italy. Hey my dad lived in Italy for a few years in the 50′s, I could have some sibs (korea too)
Will I watch RHONJ without Danielle? No. Danielle adds a certain element of interest to the show which makes it entertaining. The other HW’s simply can’t hold a season without a villain – their lives just aren’t interesting enough.
@123
abarts that was nice of you some bartenders are embarassed to ask what’s in a drink if they don’t know how to make what a customer orders, stupid i know. Sometimes they just don’t know the real names either they are used to people saying vodka /cran instead of cape cod. or vodka /grapejuice instead of greyhound..
@125 Hey Ginger! glad your ankle is fine and your rockin’ your platforms! woo freakin hoo. got your champs and ta-kill-ya, baby doll!
@124- cutie
The Story of her Life. I do believe it is the story of her life. She drives everyone away from her after she has used them up and spit them out. Sadly, I think once her daughters are of age, they too will abandon her.
@ ginger – Love the closer too.
Has anyone been watching “pillers of the earth” on stars…totally hooked on it.
No way will I watch without Danielle, she provides the drama which is the only reason I watch any of these shows (helps keep me on the elliptical machine!) Crazy does sell. Maybe they should consider Kim G. if Danielle leaves; she will stir things up without a doubt. @Kenny, love the comment about Caroline and Jacqueline leaning on their granite counters all the time. Seriously, why would anyone want to watch a full hour of women in their kitchen yacking about their spouse and kids? Too normal not to mention annoying (none of these women WORK).
Abars 128…so agree. Anything this woman touches …crumbles…reminds me of a character in an Emile Zola book I read years ago…
Now…if only I can see Karma rear it’s ugly little head and bitch slap Jill Zarin!
Am annoyed by DD like everyone else, but let’s face it she made it interesting. I said in an earlier post we will see more ham game, C googly eyes at her kids, J drunk and shoving a pacifier in her babes mouth, Tree and her brood screamin, crying, whining. Here’s the kicker: Grandma Wrinkles will probably be back Yay!! More baths in the kitchen sink, more billowy period Dina blouses with the blue contact lenses, more testimonials while she walks around her kitchen alone.
@114 Joan, she was going on once in some interview about family in Oklahoma too,who knows,,but it works for me
NO suffering. It will improve the content and the cast members will sitll be interesting. She is a dip with a bad attitude and not so good looking. Bad mother as well.
@108Bob, can’t you see it, the guy who reviews the show on Gawker started it, thats how he see’s Luanne as this tough talkin shit kicking broad driving down some dusty road boot up on the dash, cig in her mouth. I love it!
@135 Bryan
Lmao..I see it..Drop the D’LuLu Countess bullshit and she’s a cool broad.
@136Dyana, Cant you see it if Luanne did that, Picture Alex finding her horse voice again and going on luanne and luanne just looking at her straight face cig in her mouth, takes a deep long drag and blasts horse face with a big old smoke cloud. and lets a out a long burp from chugging on a bottle of some expensive imported beer ( No can for her or crap beer, she has to have some standards) and then saunters away, because this horse is not even good for a ride.
Ok Dyana–a bartender–how perfect. I had a dark and stormy on vacation-strong ginger beer and rum over ice. Let’s have those for the reunion ala stormy.
@137 Bryan
Lmao..Your freakin killin’ me.
@138 Wow Kate
I never heard of that one..I’ll have to do some searching for ginger beer.. but i’ll get it for ya.. what kind of rum?
To those who commented on my being fired today. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. xoxo
Sucks that it happened the same day as Dirty D. I want to have NOTHING in common with that hag.
We had dark rum. I just loved the name. Anything to make me smile lately
@jessica – best wishes to ya!
about 10 minutes to showtime here on the East coast.
I’m just beginning to pack my ears with cotton, and have my finger on the ‘mute’ button.
@ 141 Jessica.. Sending Good luck your way, SweetHeart
@142 Ok Kate, I’ll have it for you
@144 abarts
..I’m ready!
Yum! Love ginger beer!
I was going to take a swig of vodka each time a brat screamed, but then I realized I wouldn’t make it beyond 20 minutes.
O M G
bidet. I figured she had a marble or granite one.
Yep I think Teresa has a bidet but doesn’t know what its for. She was looking for the lid.
Maybe it will be in the auction?
I dont waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaant it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
