The NJ couple were in Miami to host a New Year’s Eve party, but before their hosting duties started they took to the beach for some fun in the sun.
Melissa, 32, a mother of three, showed off her hot bikini body in a small black bikini while taking photos with fans. Joe Juicy Jr. also went shirtless on the beach!
More photos below of Melissa and Joe!
Meanwhile, it appears Melissa’s sister-in-law Teresa Giudice was busy taking some shots at her over the weekend while she was in Miami.
See, apparently Teresa feels she is a better mom than Melissa it’s very important to spend NYE with her four daughters, and made certain to blog about that on her website the same weekend her brother and his wife were away in Miami spending NYE away from their kids!
“Joe and I celebrated New Year’s Eve like we have every single year–at a huge party with our family and friends. All of Joe’s family was there, my parents, my kids, our friends and their kids… it was a magical night,” wrote Teresa.
Teresa added: “I can’t imagine not spending it with my kids, it’s one of their favorite holidays. They LOVE New Year’s! It would kill me to just leave them home with a babysitter. They had such a great time, dancing and toasting with their sparkly juice.” Shots fired.
Oddly enough, Teresa just spent a few weeks away from her kids and husband last year while filming the upcoming season of Celebrity Apprentice.
In fact, a RHONJ source exclusively told Reality Tea back in October that Teresa was becoming an absentee mom due to her career and pursuit of fame, while adding that her nanny/baby sitter was pretty much with the kids all the time.

On last night’s Love & Hip Hop, it was all about talking. Blah. Blah. Blah. Everyone wants to discuss Kimbella and Erica’s fight. Yandy wants to talk about her issues with Chrissy which are weighing on her professional relationship with Jim and Chrissy just wants to cry about how Jim isn’t ready to commit.
We begin with Yandy Smith meeting up with Erica Mena about her brawl with Kimbella Vanderhee. Yandy can’t understand why Erica instigated such a hurtful confrontation. Yandy is so confused with Erica’s belief that her behavior was alright. Erica thinks that Kimbella talking about the pair being on the same level career-wise was enough to provoke her insults. Yandy sets her straight… Erica isn’t Yandy’s friend, she is nothing more than a potential client that proved she had a dirty mouth and ugly intentions.

It’s Kardashian Time! This time the topik of the day is Khloe Kardashian — which makes it slightly more bearable. Sorry — I have a slight bias towards the most normal of the bunch. The Keeping Up With Kardashians star is talking about marriage — most specifically how much she values her husband Lamar Odom, whom she married in 2009, and why she will do anything to support him (unlike some members of her family…).
Klearly trying to distract from all of her sister Kim Kardashian‘s divorce nonsense and prove that not all of the Kardashians are maritally impaired, Khloe shares that she is gladly moving to Dallas to support her man after his trade to the Mavericks.
In a new article for Life & Style, Khloe explains what makes her marriage work. “Many people have judged me, but I don’t care how it looks to someone else,” Khloe dished on their unconventional decision to get married a month after meeting at a party. “We planned our wedding in nine days. It’s not what a lot of people consider ideal, but for us, it was perfect. I really wouldn’t have done it any other way.”
The couple has worked hard to make their relationship successful and that includes putting petty differences aside, supporting each others’ goals and Lamar maintaining a relationship with his very involved mother-in-law Kris Jenner. He reportedly sends KRIS flowers on he and Khloe’s wedding anniversary. Weird, but ok.
Khloe believes the secret to her marital success is making her husband her no. 1 priority. You mean, it’s not her “career”? In addition to that, Khloe and Lamar have decided not to go more than a week without seeing each other. And that included her immediately packing up and moving to Dallas six-days after Lamar’s NBA trade. “I’ve never lived anywhere else but LA, but I’m willing to make that adjustment for my family.” Wow — could she be anymore different from Kimmie? “I have the luxury to have my work follow me,” Khloe shares.
Khloe even missed out on Mason‘s second birthday and spending holidays with her family to support Lamar courtside in her new home state. The couple reportedly signed a $7,500 a month lease on a luxury two-bedroom condo in Dallas that Khloe quickly decorated in time for Christmas. Luckily for all of us the film crew for the couple’s reality show Khloe & Lamar was able to capture ever minute of the hectic move! Thank goodness!
Additionally, Lamar is definitely appreciative of his wife’s support. “Sometimes there’s so much going on from the outside looking in people don’t really understand that there is a lot of normalcy there, too,” he explains. And despite all the changes, Khloe is still happily in love. “We are completely content,” she shares. “And that’s the best feeling in the world.”
While everything is happy in Khloe-land the reality star is about to get Punk’d by Miley Cyrus and Kelly Osborne! The popular MTV show produced by Ashton Kutcher returns this March and Khloe will be the unsuspecting victim of a prank.
In a just released sneak peak, Miley explains the set up, “She thinks she’s going to have girls hangout time and order food, and when the delivery guy shows up, he’s going to ask to use my bathroom, he’s going to get his [genitals] zipped into the zipper of his pants. Khloe, you’re getting punk’d!”
Predictably since she’s used to crazy given her familial connections, Khloe handles it calmly and immediately calls 911 to help the man out. Check out the hilarious clip below! Khloe’s episode of Punk’d airs March 19th on MTV!

NeNe Leakes has been quite mysterious about her love life on the Tweets lately. She posted a series of pics featuring very flashy gifts “he” gave her and is not giving away who “he” is. NeNe Tweeted: “Diamonds r a girls best friend & they just keep comin & comin & comin.”
Rumors have been circulating for months that The NeNe has been dating Famous Famiglia owner John Kolaj after NeNe opened her own franchise of the restaurant earlier this year and has been spotted out and about with the businessman. Is NeNe dating John or are they merely very friendly business associates?
Perhaps yes, but neither one of them is willing to give anything away. John recently admitted to WetPaint that he was indeed the giver of NeNe’s many gifts — including a Hermes Birkin, some Louboutins and some serious diamonds. “Absolutely, I gave her that ring! It’s 8 carats. I gave her a set of diamond earrings, too,” John readily enthused. As for the Louboutins, John added that yes, “I got her a few pairs.”
As for why John is showering NeNe with gifts that make any woman melt, John explains, “Nene Leakes is a smart, amazing woman who is a dear friend of mine, and I hope she’s in my life for a very, very long time.” However, when asked if he was dating NeNe, John merely replied “no comment.”
NeNe also played coy as to the nature of her relationship with John, telling Us Weekly, “He’s been flirting with me.” But the Glee star did seem to admit that they have some sort of relationship, telling the mag: “I’m not saying he’s The One, but he has a lot of the qualities I’m looking for.” And what might those qualities be? According to NeNe, “He’s very wealthy!”
NeNe has yet to file for divorce from husband Gregg Leakes, who she has been seen with around town recently. NeNe has repeatedly stated the divorce is happening, but their relationship remains amicable. NeNe is technically separated from her husband and who knows if she will go through with the actual divorce! In the meantime she’s been paling around with John.
So, who is John? He is a successful businessman who grew up in the Bronx and opened a chain of Italian fast food restaurants with his brothers. They now own over 140 franchises — including one NeNe opened last year. Viewers first saw John on an episode of Real Housewives of Atlanta when NeNe went on a cringe-inducing business lunch with the very over-the-top John. NeNe seemed mortified, disgusted, intrigued and then she said she liked him! A photo of NeNe and John out on the town is below.
Well, John promises that won’t be the last of him on the show. “I think I’m in three or four more episodes,” he reveals. “I’m not getting paid, and I’m not interested in the fame. I just feel lucky and blessed to be spending time with NeNe.” Oh, my…
And if you’re wondering what NeNe did for NYE — she apparently celebrated in Miami at P.Diddy‘s infamous bash! Diddy has made no secret of his NeNe love and demonstrated his affections by inviting her to his huge celeb-studded fete. Also in attendance were Rhianna, Vivica A. Fox, and Queen Latifah. NeNe confirmed her attendance, tweeting: “As I ring n the New Year wit my boy @iamdiddy @ his home! I’m so Blessed! Happy New Year 2 all”
According to Tamra Tattles, NeNe showed up dateless, but looked cute. A photo of NeNe at the bash is below. Wow — maybe the other ladies do have a reason to be jealous of NeNe’s success!
IS NENE DATING JOHN OR IS THIS A PUBLICITY STUNT? CAN YOU BELIEVE NENE WAS INVITED TO P.DIDDY’S NEW YEARS BASH?

First up is a not so shocking report by OK! Magazine which states Jenelle Evans continues to choose partying over her son Jace. If you recall, Jenelle’s mom Barbara Evanscurrently has custody of her 2-year-old son.
While Jenelle has publicly claimed she is working hard to regain custody of her son, her actions are proving otherwise. “Her relationship with her mother is terrible. She has almost no real relationship with her son. She’s not a bad person, but she’s acting like an idiot right now,” says Sarah Walker, a former friend of Jenelle’s.
And despite spending 30 days in rehab last year, Jenelle is telling people she still loves to party. “She brags about it,” states Sarah. “It’s really a shame because she really is such a smart girl. But the cameras follow her everywhere on this tiny island and she thinks she’s above the law and untouchable.”
Jenelle has also reportedly “bragged to everyone on [Oak Island] that she went into rehab for the publicity and that MTV thought it would help her image.” Yikes.
Moving on to another Teen Mom that continues to make bad decisions a.k.a. Chelsea Houska. According to OK!, Chelsea’s troubled baby daddyAdam Lindcontinues to be a screw up.
The latest? Adam, who has previously been arrested for underage drinking, reckless driving and burglary, just finished serving a jail sentence! On Nov. 25, Adam began serving a court-ordered 30 day sentence for driving with a revoked license and speeding.
“He also seems to have a drinking problem,” says an insider. “He was court-ordered to attend AA but never went.”
The insider, however, claims that despite his behavior on the MTV hit show Adam really loves his daughter Aubree. “His worst fear is that one of these days Chelsea is going to start listening to her father,” say the source. “He’s scared she’ll dump him for good and take the baby.” Might not be such a bad idea…
A new episode of Teen Mom 2 airs tonight on MTV at 10/9c.

Brad left Rachel last year and to hear her tell it he ditched her five minutes before the Oscars after stealing half of her client load and 3/4 of her couture department yet the newly independent Brad has his own version of how their split went.
Speaking to The Daily Beast, Brad discusses his new show and the departure from Zoe, Inc. “I think people will be surprised to see that when I left I didn’t have a ton of work,” he says of the first episode of his show where he is seen putzing around and searching for jobs — which is very different from Rachel’s styling oriented show The Rachel Zoe Project, filled with apparent manufactured drama. Brad says that’s about the most drama you’ll get from him, “I’m not a table-flipper,” he laughs.
Speaking of Rachel — just what went wrong between the former besties? According to Rachel, Brad told her he wanted to leave the high-paced styling world to live a quiet life with his boyfriend of ten-years, Gary, but then stabbed her in the back by immediately starting his own company and snagging his own show.
Brad’s side of the story is very different (and frankly sounds more plausible). Carefully explaining his perspective and maintaining that he wants to take the high road, Brad is aghast at how Rachel chose to demean him on TV. “I think it’s unfortunate that she decided to take the angle that she did because it’s not the truth.”
“It’s unfortunate that all of the time that I spent with her, and the many lengthy conversations that we had discussing my departure from working with her, that she would choose to character assassinate me on television.” Brad claims he gave Rachel two and a half months notice, trained his replacement (the invisible Jordan?) and even stayed longer to finish uncompleted jobs.
“I just think it’s unfortunate that she feels so competitive with me in a way,” he muses. “Because I left to create a name for myself – and not to ride on any of her coattails.” Brad wouldn’t say why he has been keeping mum about the dissolution of their relationship or if he signed a non-disclosure agreement with the company upon leaving, but he does want to clear his name that he isn’t a client or clothing stealer.
A similar thing happened with another of Rachel’s assistants, Taylor Jacobson, who claims she left the company amicably while Rachel and Rodger continue to slander her to the press and accuse her of stealing. Taylor, like Brad, never really spoke out about the realities of leaving, save to say it wasn’t how Rachel is construing things.
“She’s so incredibly successful, that a stylist starting out – I don’t know what kind of threat that is to her. Maybe she thinks I’m incredibly talented. Who knows,” Brad says of Rachel. Personally, I think she is jealous that Brad’s cheerful and fun personality took off with fans making him the more famous of the two.
“I did reach out to her numerous times, and there was never any response back,” Brad reveals, adding that they often are together at fashion shows and events, but Rachel ignores him. Mature, much?
As for Rachel’s allegations that he tried to steal some of her clients, Brad insists that is not the case. “That’s not the truth. And she knows that’s not the truth. I didn’t even say goodbye to a lot of her clients because I didn’t want anything to be misconstrued as me soliciting anybody.” Brad has styled former Rachel client Demi Moore, but claims Demi sought him out.
“Maybe one day we’ll be able to speak again, but if she chooses to not, then I guess that’s the way it has to be,” he explains. “People are saying, ‘What’s the problem?’ There is no problem from my side. I don’t have any problems with her.”
Rachel clearly does not agree because when asked for comments Rodger Berman (Rachel’s hubs) released the following statement: “Rachel and Rodger are amused by his convenient interpretation of events and have no additional comments.” Wow, Rachel needs to get over herself.
Regardless of the fallout, Brad is glad he got the opportunity. He says Rachel taught him that “it’s possible to do both styling and the show at the same time, but I learned so many more things from her about styling, and working in fashion, and being kind to people.”
And he is optimistic about the future. He is currently styling Christina Ricci and Rashida Jones, getting ready for awards season and he just signed a deal to work with Kate Spade!

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE BRAD VS. RACHEL SPLIT? WHO DO YOU BELIEVE? DID YOU WATCH IT’S A BRAD, BRAD WORLD? THOUGHTS?
Late last week, reports came out that Kim had left rehab and was moving in Kyle for out patient care. It was later discovered that while Kim did attempt to leave rehab before the end of her 30 day mark, her loved ones convinced her to stay longer.
While talking to the Rumor Fix blog, Kyle made it clear that Kim, who has been living with her boyfriend Ken Blumenfeld, is moving into a new house once she leaves the Betty Ford Clinic. The rumor now is that Kim has broken up with boyfriend Ken who is said to be “controlling.”
“She won’t be living with me,” says Kyle, “We’re a little too old for that.” Kyle adds that her sister is, however, “doing really well.”
Sources tell the Rumor Fix blog that Kim has completed her 30 days in rehab, but the folks at the Betty Ford Center have recommended she stay for an additional 90 days of aftercare. Kim has reportedly agreed to stay at the facility until early February and will reevaluate things at that time.
A report came out days ago stating Kim was having a hard time in rehab and being defiant at times.
In other news, Kyle recently released her book titled — Life Is Not a Reality Show:Keeping It Real with the Housewife Who Does It All.
Unfortunately This isn’t a sordid tell-all as the book description promises Kyle will reveal “how she achieves that perfect mix of celebrity and normality. In this collection of the best tips, advice and strategies she knows, Kyle’s talking friend to friend so you can create that blend of glitz and know-how in your own life.”
Below is an excerpt from her book about infidelity –
“I know some people say that flirting can be totally innocent and harmless. I don’t agree. I believe that a relationship, especially after marriage, needs to be protected and sheltered from the outside forces that could potentially undermine it.
One incident, a single mistake, is one thing, but I would not tolerate a repeat offender.
A woman friend came to me once very upset, and she started crying because she did something with someone other than her husband. I took her hands and said, “Look at me. It did not happen. Do you understand me? Stop! It did not happen. You’re moving on and it didn’t happen. Because otherwise you’re going to ruin your life.” There’s no need to hurt the other person unless you’ve put him at risk and have a responsibility to let him know. Do what you need to do to acknowledge in yourself and to God what you did. Don’t forget it; just learn from it and try to move on. When you face conflict in your marriage, look at the bigger picture of what is valuable in your life and what you want to hang on to. That might mean forgiving your husband or yourself.”
So Kyle’s advice on infidelity is to not tell your partner? Interesting. Kyle also shares tips on her family, hair, men & her beauty in the book.
Moving on to tonight’s all new episode of the RHOBH. On the 17th episode this season titled Leis and Lies in Lanai, Taylor grapples with marital hardship as the other ladies fly to Hawaii for a sun-and-fun getaway. But there’s a nasty Hawaiian punch when Kim misses her flight. Worse, she misses her second flight as well.
The episode airs at 9/8c and a preview clip is below!

Guess what time it is!? Kim K time! The beleaguered reality star who simply has nothing to do but run around seeking attention had quite the eventful year — she got married, she got divorced, she got annihilated for supposedly making $17M off that whole shebang and, then, she discovered she was a whole new person by visiting Haiti to shop for charity. But we already know all that — let’s focus on 2012 — it’s a whole new year for Kimmie Kakes and a new year brings new attention seeking behavior!
Now that she doesn’t have her over-the-top marriage to make people interested in her, Kim is apparently looking to pull a Sandy B. and adopt a baby as a single woman. Yes, this is news. And no, I didn’t make it up.
In Touch Weekly is reporting that while Kim visited Haiti last month under the pretense of volunteering with We Advance, Maria Bello‘s charity, she also paid a special visit to a Haitian orphanage! “She wants to adopt a Haitian baby, and she wants to do it as soon as possible,” an insider reports adding that Kim thinks becoming a mommy will be the perfect way to fix her damaged reputation!
Kim apparently believes adopting will give her an “earth-mother” appeal that will endear her fans. I mean look how well it worked for Angelina Jolie! Kim’s friend claims, “She’s telling friends she wants to adopt because of the awful living conditions she saw in Haiti, but it’s pretty obvious she’s only doing it to revive her image.” This newest stunt apparently has friends jokingly calling Kim “Mother Theresa.”
Kim’s friend worries that the self-absorbed independent 31-year-old Kim who couldn’t even share a closet with her husband isn’t ready to assume mommy-duties. “The idea of dirty diapers makes her gag,” Kim’s pal snarks. “She’s not ready to have a baby at all — she’s so focused on herself,” a friend explains. “She’s even said that she’s too into her career to have a baby.”
Indeed, Kim had that same fight with then husband Kris Humphries on her reality show Kourtney and Kim Take New York. This begs the question — Is Kim really so delusional as to consider standing on the red carpet and whining on camera a real career?
Another friend points out that Kim’s supposed adoration of her nephew Mason, 2, is all staged for the cameras and that Kim is actually disinterested in the toddler. “Kim treats him like an accessory, not a baby.”
“She plays with him when she’s posing for pictures, but otherwise she’s always too busy texting to have anything to do with him,” a friend insists. None of this seems to matter to Kim, who believes a baby will save her image and leave the public viewing her as a kind, compassionate and loving person. Kim has a need to be loved the mag reports and seeks validation from the public.
Moving right along the new and improved Kim rang in the new year by hosting a New Year’s Eve party at Tao in Las Vegas! Kim reportedly received $600,000 to grace fans (who paid $200 a pop) with her presence at the popular night club. That $600k can feed a lot of Haitians, Kim! Kim’s desperate for the spotlight Pimpmomager Kris Jenner also came along with her since she’s got no man to speak of.
The party was apparently packed — surprisingly. “It’s a tradition to ring in the new year here at Tao!,” Kim told The Hollywood Reporter. To go with her new image, Kim debuted some new bangs which she sported with a skin-tight white Gucci mini dress.
“I am ready to move forward and not look back. I learned a lot of about myself this past year and at the end of the day you always have to trust your gut,” Kim told THR of 2011. “You’ve got to believe in love. I still do.” Photos of Kim and Kris at Tao are below!
