Teresa Giudice’s Attorney: Overturning Bankruptcy ‘Would Destroy Her Family’ Plus Manzo Brothers Get Bachelor Pad!

by Reality Tea on November 16th, 2010

Days after we reported the news of Teresa Giudice and hubby Joe Giudice having to stand trial for bankruptcy fraud in July, 2011, their attorney is now speaking out on their behalf.

James Kridel, attorney for the Real Housewives of New Jersey stars, will have to prove to the bankruptcy court come 2011 that his clients’ bankruptcy filing is indeed legit and should not be overturned. Roberta DeAngelis, the attorney in the U.S. Trustees Office who evaluated the Giudices’ filing, has recommended that the court not grant their Chapter 7 petition due to fraud. DeAngelis accused the Giudices of concealing assets, hiding income, providing false information to the IRS, etc.

Kridel’s strategy seems to be to avoid the trial all together. “I am going to be sending a letter to the US Trustees Office because I would like to resolve with them their issue rather than have to try it,” Kridel told RadarOnline.

Kridel however claims he isn’t doing this out of fear of losing the case or desperation. “I’m not doing it out of desperation; I’m doing it in their [debtors and US Trustees] best interest. That’s the next step. But ultimately the ball is in their court.”

Kridel also adds that he will argue that his clients “have been punished enough.” Kridel stated, “Instead of just looking at it as ‘Joe Giudice,’ it is a family and to deny a discharge in this case would destroy this family. Some of the family members are clearly not responsible for anything that occurred here.”

Good luck with that Kridel. In other NJ news, RadarOnline is also reporting that Caroline Manzo’s sons – Albie and Chris Manzo – have officially moved out of their mama bear’s cave and into their own bachelor pad!

“The guys decided to get their own place because they are young and good looking and famous,” a source close to the family told Radar. “They get a lot of attention from women. They are growing up and they need their privacy.”

The source adds that Caroline is however having a hard time adjusting to her new empty nest. “Their mom is really sad because she is really close to her sons,” added the insider.

Dancing With The Stars Recap: Jennifer Grey Twice As Perfect!

by Reality Tea on November 16th, 2010

It was seminfinals week on Dancing With The Stars and the remaining four stars brought their A game.

The stars had to perform two dances each last night, while also having to do a brief solo performance during their first dance number. The story of the night was the perfect score received by Jennifer Grey and partner Derek Hough, not once, but twice! Jennifer first received all 10s for her cha cha cha in addition to a standing ovation. And for the second dance of the night, she also received a perfect score of 30 for her waltz. “It was one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen,” said judge Carrie Ann Inaba.

Coming in second and third place were Kyle Massey and Brandy in that order. Kyle continued to impress receiving two scores of 29 for both of his dances. A point behind Kyle was Brandy and partner Maksim. Brandy received a total score of 57 for both of her dances, earning a perfect score of 30 for her feisty Argentine tango.

In last place for the seventh week in a row was Bristol Palin though she did receive high scores for her dances. A total of 53 for the night. Many are wondering if Bristol will sneak into the finals next week as the general consensus seems to be she is still in the competition due to the votes she is receiving from fans of her mother Sarah Palin. Sarah is also now a reality star thanks to her new TLC show Sarah Palin’s Alaska, which reportedly scored very high ratings with over 5 million viewers tuning into the Sunday night premiere.

The full scores from last night below -

Jennifer Grey & Derek Hough 60 (30, 30)
Kyle Massey & Lacey Schwimmer 58 (29, 29)
Brandy & Maks Chmerkovskiy 57 (27, 30)
Bristol Palin & Mark Ballas 53 (27, 26)

The Real Housewives of Atlanta Recap: So You Think You Can Dance?

by Reality Tea on November 15th, 2010

The 7th episode of the Real Housewives of Atlanta brought us an engagement, an Aston Martin, and gasp – a dance number by Miss She by Sheree!

The episode starts out with Sheree Whitfield planning a surprise for her daughters. And by surprise, she means calling up her daughters to show off her new Aston Martin car. “I can’t keep putting my desires on the back burner,” she states in her interview. No Sheree, no need to put your desires on the back burner, especially when you owe your attorneys and private investigator over $200,000.

Sheree also informs her daughter that she will be participating in the Dancing Stars of Atlanta, whatever that is. By the way, the average price of an Aston Martin? Just a mere $200,000. The cheapest 2010 model? $120,750. As reported, Sheree’s Aston Martin was seized two weeks ago by one of the law firms she owes money to. Sheree’s extravagant spending is even more shocking considering the failure of her clothing line and the report that Bravo paid the Atlanta ladies $150,000 each for the third season.

Khloe Kardashian’s Hubby Lamar Odom Sues the Mother of His Kids

by Reality Tea on November 15th, 2010

The NY Post is reporting that Lamar Odom is now suing his ex-girlfriend and mother of his two children, Liza Morales.

The reason? Well, according to the Post, Khloe Kardashian’s husband wants a judge to make a “parental access schedule” and set “reasonable child support” for his daughter, Destiny, 12, and son, L.J., 9, who live with their mom Liza in Manhattan.

Sounds reasonable enough except that Liza, 31, tells The Post she is shocked by the legal attack because she’s always had to beg Lamar to pay attention to their kids.

“Lamar basically checked out as a father four years ago,” Liza reveals. “They [Destiny and L.J.] haven’t had quality time in a long time.”

And despite the fact that Lamar and Khloe have started filming their own spin-off reality show, don’t expect to see Lamar’s kids on TV anytime soon as Liza will not allow their kids to appear on television. “It has come up, and I told them no,” she said. “I’m trying to raise my kids with old-school values.”

Liza also adds that Lamar has made frequent trips to New York but never tried to see his kids.”This whole going to the court thing — people, my neighbors — I don’t want them to think this is the kind of mother I am, that he has to go to court for visitation,” says Liza. “It’s just really shocking, because Lamar knows the truth.”

Two of Jon and Kate Gosselin’s Kids Expelled From School

by Reality Tea on November 13th, 2010

It was only a matter of time.

Days after In Touch weekly first reported the news, PEOPLE magazine is now confirming that two of Jon and Kate Gosselin’s kids have been expelled from their private school in Pennsylvania.

Why you might ask? According to In Touch, the kids – Alexis and Collin Gosselin – both age 6, were kicked out for “rage issues.”

“They’ve fought with their peers, called them nasty names and made fun of other kids,” a source told the magazine. In fact, the In Touch report suggests the kids’ filming schedule might have caused the trouble at school.

“Collin had such bad issues that he refused to get his picture taken at school because he’s tired of being on-camera,” the source said. “The things they are saying are not words they should know,” the source continued. “They are learning them somewhere, but Jon doesn’t know where.”

PEOPLE magazine also confirms the kids are now being homeschooled while a source close to Kate claims the reports of violence and bullying is being exaggerated (um no it’s not if it got them expelled).

“The situation is being grossly overstated,” the source says. “The kids are going through a challenging time, but Kate doesn’t feel this is something that should be discussed publicly. It is a private matter.”
