Days after TMZ reported a contract negotiation standoff between Teresa Giudice and the Bravo network, a new report by Popeater is now revealing the real issue and how much Teresa and her costars are earning.

According to Popeater, Teresa, who is arguably the least classy most popular Real Housewives of New Jersey star, is actually making less money than her co-stars!

There is however a reason for this. See, Caroline Manzo and Jacqueline Laurita are earning more than Teresa because Bravo also has to pay their adult children for appearing on the show. Teresa on the other hand doesn’t have any adult kids, and therefore doesn’t get paid for her kids being on the show, something Teresa feels is not fair.

Popeater reports that Bravo states they can only pay the women the exact same amount, which is $250,000 for the upcoming 3rd season, but Bravo gets around the issue by compensating the adult children involved with the show. The Manzo family is reportedly getting $310,000, with the Laurita family slated to earn $270,000 while the Giudices will continue to receive the base rate of $250,000.

“She brings in ratings and [really] invites viewers into her house, even the birthing room of her daughter,” Teresa a source tells Popeater. “That she gets less — that’s crazy!”

The source adds, “Teresa understands her children can’t get paid because of issues with child labor laws, but she just she just wants them to have a college fund.”

With the $250,000 base rate, the NJ Housewives will become the highest paid of the Bravo bunch. Not a surprise as their second season brought in the highest ratings ever in Bravo housewives’ history. The 250k is also a very high amount in comparison to the $150,000 a season the Real Housewives of Atlanta reportedly got for their 3rd season, which is currently airing.

And the cycle continues.  While millions of viewers watched a seemingly remorseful Amber Portwood shed tears on the emotional Teen Mom reunion special with Dr. Drew Pinsky, the 20-year-old reality star was back to her old ways the same exact night.

A shocking new report by NBC reveals the Teen Mom star and her boyfriend Gary Shirley were involved in yet another domestic dispute just days ago.

According to NBC, cops were called to the couple’s home on Tuesday night. The reason? It all reportedly began when Gary pushed Amber, who came out of their home in her underwear, out the door for threatening to attack him yet again. As for the reason for Amber’s outburst this go around, it was reportedly over a text message sent to Gary, which Amber suspected was from another girl.

The report adds that Amber told cops the ongoing abuse investigation (she is currently being investigated for domestic violence against Gary and by Child Protection Services) has left her stressed.

There is no word on whether or not their daughter Leah was present for this latest shameful display.

Salahism – (n) 1. a condition of, or pertaining to total self-centeredness; 2. A mental state; characterized by absolute pre-occupation with oneself and/or self-interests. See also: narcissism.

With that out of the way, the Real Housewives of DC reunion part 2 starts out with the worse half of the gruesome twosome coming on to the stage.

Tareq immediately takes on his victim plight, stating that he is disappointed in the others for not believing Michaele’s BS MS tale. Lynda makes a valid point when she wants to know why it took a book for them to release the information. Better yet, I want to know how Michaele filmed a reality show for months without a mention of this illness or any indication she had this illness.

Nene Leakes Plastic Surgery

In the latest issue of PEOPLE magazine, Nene Leakes of the Real Housewives of Atlanta, is finally revealing all of her plastic surgery secrets and buckle up folks, it isn’t just a nose job!

“I admit it: I’m vain,” reveals the 42-year-old Atlanta housewife, who is surprisingly very honest about all the work she has had done in the article.

“I wanted a tune up,” said Nene, who went under the knife in April for three plastic surgery procedures: a nose job, a breast lift, and liposuction.

Nene shares that the nose job was done to narrow down her nostrils which “bothered me for years.” Nene was however unhappy with some of the backlash she received when she stepped out with her new nose, with some saying her new nose “looks Caucasian.” Nene adds, “I love what I did. I didn’t want to change my looks. I wanted to look like the black woman I am. Only a better version.”

Along with the liposuction, Nene also lost 15 pounds. “I couldn’t be happier,” she tells the mag. The timing of this PEOPLE article is not a coincidence as the Monday night episode of the Atlanta Housewives will tackle Nene’s nose job.

A before and after shot of Nene’s nose is below, as well as the scanned article from PEOPLE. Photographer credit – Robert Ector.

Despite the reports by multiple media outlets that there is trouble in paradise for Kendra Wilkinson and hubby Hank Baskett, the E! reality star took to her twitter in an attempt to kill the rumors.

Life&Style magazine was the first to report that Kendra was moving to Los Angeles without her husband who is currently playing football in Minnesota. UsWeekly has since confirmed the news as well. The Kendra star tweeted this week: “How handsome do my 2 favorite men look???” and linked to photos of Hank and their son on her website. Some of those photos are below.

A source close to Kendra then told PEOPLE that Kendra & Hank are “just fine.” The source added, “She’ll be spending the majority of her time in L.A. because of work and because her family is here in San Diego… They’re all good in their relationship. Their living situation is always very up in the air. But Kendra likes to have a base in L.A.”

However a newer report by the HollywoodLife states the opposite with a source telling them the couple’s marriage is indeed in trouble. “Its a no brainer,” says the source. “Kendra’s moved four times in four months [and] her kid is going through stuff. She needs her family around her.”

“They are embarrassed they are going through things,” adds the source. The 3rd season of Kendra premieres November 7th, 10pm on E!

With the first season of the Real Housewives of DC officially ending tonight, we thought, what better way to send them off than posting their “before they were famous” photos!

Above is the one and only Mary Schmidt Amons with now husband Rich Amons. More old school photos of the DC ladies below, including Stacie Turner on her wedding day, a young Michaele Salahi, a younger foxy Cat Ommanney, and Lynda Erkiletian way before the botox.

Coming up tonight is the part 2 of the DC Housewives reunion. Part 1 ended with the ladies objecting to Tareq Salahi’s presence without their spouses. A Bravo press release states “the men of D.C. join their ladies on the couch and things get heated as they confront Tareq Salahi about breaking the “guy code.” The reunion show airs at 9/8c on Bravo.
