PHOTOS: How Are The Real Housewives of New Jersey Faring Post Superstorm Sandy?

by Mary on November 1st, 2012

As I sit here and plow through my son's Halloween candy (hey – he's only 2!) while I work, I'm even more thankful that my family and loved ones are safe after Superstorm Sandy. While several reality stars found themselves in the middle of a storm (and not one manufactured by producers or caused by gossip and pettiness), the Real Housewives of New Jersey undoubtedly – and as usual – were some of the hardest hit as they are in the epicenter of a hurricane.

Several of the ladies lost power for days and even worse had their shore houses destroyed in the process. Here's an update on how everyone is doing post-Sandy as New Jersey begins to rebuild.

And just a quick comment: Caroline Manzo has been updating her twitter with relief stations and information for victims. Apparently annoyed followers have decided to unfollow because of too many tweets. Seriously people? Have a heart. While Caroline only lost followers (and electricity) – SOME PEOPLE lost everything. Empathy, people, empathy.

Teresa Giudice had several appearance scheduled for this week and canceled them all. She has been cooking to help out friends still without power.

Reality Stars React To Frakenstorm, aka Hurricane Sandy!

by Mary on October 29th, 2012

Well, it's Hurricane Sandy out there. I've already hunkered down with chicken wing dip and a vain hope that I won't lose power or internet while the winds howl wildly. And I'm not the only one, plenty of reality stars are stranded on the east coast trying to brave the hurricane.

We hope everyone is safe and in a comfortable place to ride out the storm!

Below are some of their reactions on twitter! Above Real Housewives of Miami star Karent Sierra wrote: "Waiting for the hurricane… with Joanna Krupa." Both are stranded in NYC after a WWHL appearance!

Poor Kalyn Braun is currently in New Jersey braving through the storm!

Real Housewives of New Jersey Lost Footage Recap: They’re Never Going Away, Are They?

by Lauren on October 22nd, 2012

Because Bravo knows a good thing when it sees it, last night we were treated to even more madness from the Real Housewives of New Jersey. While the season was supposed to be over after the reunion trilogy (The Hunger Games it was not), the network decided to milk a little bit more out of the women and the viewers. So it is without further ado, I present to you the lost footage from season four. It's actually very telling to see what ended up on the cutting room floor, and what's being revisited in light of the ongoing feud surrounding Teresa Giudice and ~~everyone else~~ Melissa Gorga. Editing truly is magical!

Narrated by Andy Cohen, the episode takes us behind the scenes of what happened during the season and at the far-too-drawn-out reunion. Buckle up (if you haven't boycotted the show yet!), and enjoy the bumpy ride with Melissa, Teresa, Caroline Manzo, Jacqueline Laurita, and Kathy Wakile. It's truly a sight.

We begin with a lost cause…Andy is trying to convince Juicy Joe (once again) that homophobic slurs are offensive and nasty. Joe is all, Ahhwatdisagain? before turning into a brick wall of Who Cares. By the way, did you know that Joe went on a boat ride with seven guys and one of them was gay? He is not a homophobe. The comments he made about Gregg Bennett were meant to be funny, not mean. He's so sorry Greggy doesn't have a sense of humor! Jacqueline tells Andy that she thinks Joe speaks more out of ignorance than maliciousness. Fair enough.

Teresa Giudice Accuses Melissa Gorga Of Using Her To Stay Relevant; Plus Caroline Manzo And Teresa Refuse To Do Charity? And More!

by Mary on October 22nd, 2012

Aaaahhh… it wouldn't be a day in reality TV blogging without some Real Housewives of New Jersey gossip. Ever hear of that saying Cher, cockroaches, and spam would survive an apocalypse? I think we need to add our favorite dueling New Jersey sisters-in-law to that list!

First up, Teresa Giudice says what some have been thinking all along; that Melissa Gorga is using Teresa's name – and their televised feud – to keep herself in the press! After complaining long and hard that Teresa loves the tabloids more than her family and friends, it seems Melissa also has a tabloid love that once unleashed cannot be squashed. Perhaps tabloid interviews are like tattoos (or designer sweaters, in my case) – in that once you get one, you just can't stop!

Melissa has been making the rounds pleading her case and talking up Teresa left and right. In a recent Bravo Blog, Melissa accused her fame hungry sister-in-law of being behind strippergate yet again and cites Teresa's friendship with Kim D as proof. Melissa also accused Teresa of doing appearances with Kim.

Melissa Gorga Thinks Teresa Giudice Should Leave Reality TV; Dina Manzo Speaks Out On The Reunion!

by Mary on October 19th, 2012

There is never a dull day in the land of Real Housewives of New Jersey. In my mind pretty much the entire state is wrapped up in the cesspool of drama that is this show. And while I'm not always Bethenny Frankel's biggest fan, what I'm about to write has me agreeing whole-heartedly with one of her recent tweets: "Does it ever amaze you what desperate people will do to stay relevant?" And while I'm pretty sure she wasn't referring to the ladies of Jersey, i still think it applies.

First up Melissa Gorga is not letting this season go. After spending an entire season complaining that Teresa Giudice was talking about her in tabloids, it seems Melissa really just wanted a piece of the pie. And it's tabloids and more tabloids! Speaking to In Touch Weekly, Teresa's regular haunt, Melissa has a little advice for her sister-in-law.

Real Housewives of New Jersey Recap: The Elephant In The Room

by Mary on October 15th, 2012

So we've made it. It's the end of Real ~~Liars~~ Housewives of New Jersey. I don't know about you, but I am so relieved to be done with this show. I don't know where I stand on things other than to say that I can see everyone's points as valid, but I'm tired of hearing about them.

So let's get started. We begin with Juicy Giudice still under interrogation. He's familiar with it by now, I suppose, given all his legal infractions. Caroline Manzo's comments about how Teresa Giudice will leave her husband and write a book about it if he goes to prison are revisited.

Caroline seems to be saying without saying it that editing minced her comment or took it out of context. Or perhaps she just doesn't want to admit that she said and meant it. There's so much backpedaling with these people I never know what to think. Anyway, Caroline dismisses it as a "hypothetical" and Juicy snaps that Caroline is a "know it all" She is – a very unwarranted 'know it all.'

Caroline says since Teresa is discussing her marriage with magazines, it's fair game. Andy Cohen asks about Joe admitting in Napa they got paid by the magazines, but all of the sudden it's denies, denies, denies. 'Huh? I said that? I was drunk? Whaddai say?' Joe and Teresa are masters of obfuscation. That should be their next book!

A Farewell To Real Housewives of New Jersey

by Mary on October 14th, 2012

Tonight is the FINAL, final episode of Real Housewives of New Jersey. After a season of constant turmoil I need a vacation, some PTS therapy, and a long hiatus from family drama not my own.

Tonight's episode will explore the final meltdown of a family who has been destroyed by reality TV. Tonight the husbands take the stage and the Joews will battle to expose each other as the sleaziest, grossest, and worst husband! Lord only knows how that will turn out but my money is on Juicy Giudice getting dirty.

So here goes nothing! Let's bid Teresa Giudice, Melissa Gorga, Jaqueline Laurita, Caroline Manzo, and Kathy Wakile a temporary good-bye by listing your favorite season moment from each lady.

So, so long ladies – you're gone from our TV, but I'm pretty positive you won't let us forget you in the off-season.

As always, Reality Tea will be live-tweeting the drama. So if you want to hear our snark, laced with wine, find us on the tweeter!

TELL US - ARE YOU READY FOR THIS SEASON TO BE OVER?

More Photos From RHONJ’s Jacqueline Laurita At The Sparkling Event For Autism Speaks; Plus Caroline Manzo And Sons

by Reality Tea on October 13th, 2012

A few weeks ago, we showed you a few shots from Real Housewives of New Jersey star Jacqueline Laurita's appearance at the Sparkling Event, where she spoke during the charity benefit for Autism Speaks. The Sparkling Event sent us a few more photos of Jacqs, Caroline Manzo and more, so we thought we'd share!

The Sparkling Event, owned by Candice Laurita and Cristina Granelli, raised nearly $17,000 for Autism Speaks. Guests purchased raffle tickets for items like a trip to Mexico, Samsung Galaxy tablets, and thousands of dollars worth of skin care and makeup from CafFace in Franklin Lakes.
