PHOTOS: The Real Housewives of New Jersey’s Manzo Family Celebrates The Grand Opening Of Little Town New Jersey Restaurant – Updated

by Reality Tea on April 18th, 2013

Last night the Manzo boys, Chris and Albie, kicked off their newest business venture: a restaurant called Little Town New Jersey.

The restaurant officially opens to the public today, but last night invited guests got to take a sneak peek ahead of the opening. We were among the invited, but none of us were able to attend ~~fearing for our safety~~ due to scheduling and logistics issues.

According to the invite: "Little Town NJ offers a diverse menu of unique regional Jersey classics inspired by local ingredients, emphasizing New Jersey farms and purveyors, as well as wineries and breweries. LTNJ will also feature various dining programs from farm-to-table pre-fix brunch buffet to “Sunday Gravy” which will serve Caroline Manzo’s famous meatballs and on weekends an on-site farmer’s market, where local farmers and suppliers can share their produce, which will also be featured in menu items."

We grabbed the photos from the event, but only see the Manzo family posing for pics (along with business partners Michael Sinensky and Sean McGarr). The invitation promised that guests would include "the cast of the Real Housewives of New Jersey including Caroline Manzo, Teresa Giudice, Melissa Gorga, Jacqueline Laurita, Kathy Wakile, Joe Gorga and Joe Giudice." I'll keep checking to see if they update the photos!

Lauren Manzo’s New Year’s Resolution Is To Lose More Weight – 30lbs By Spring!

by Reality Tea on January 2nd, 2013

Lauren Manzo opened up earlier this year about undergoing lapband surgery to help her lose weight and shared how it enabled her to shed 30 lbs. Lauren showed off her new physique in a spread featured in Us magazine back in June and has been successful keeping the weight off.

Now the pint sized daughter of Real Housewives of New Jersey star Caroline Manzo is aiming for her next goal – another 30 lbs before spring!

Lauren enjoyed treats over Christmas, even sharing photos of her indulging in her mom's traditional holiday goodies – complete with sprinkles. But she kept herself in check and is ready to work on her new goal.

Teresa Giudice Bashed By Co-Stars In Us Weekly Cover Story!

by Lauren on October 4th, 2012

I'll be the first to admit that I finally took a stand on my feelings for Real Housewives of New Jersey's Teresa Giudice after watching that horrid first installment of the reunion. Now I may be eating my words…just a bit. A very little bit. I still don't feel sorry for her, and I think I may keel over if I ever hear her utter the words "I was wrong" or "I lied." However, now I don't feel badly for any of them. They are all a bunch of fame whores as evidenced by the new Us Weekly cover story. You have to love that they're all wearing red. I guess they got Tre's devil memo!

You have to love the hypocrisy that comes with being a New Jersey housewife. One minute Jacqueline Laurita, Caroline Manzo, Melissa Gorga, and Kathy Wakile are calling out Teresa for hawking her story on magazine cover after magazine cover (after magazine cover!), the next minute they are gracing the pages of Us Weekly (high brow…no In Touch for these gals!) and bashing their former friend. Eye roll.

In a five page spread, the women spill all the details of their fallout with Tre. Now, I don't doubt for one second that Teresa is a textbook narcissist, but how is moaning about her in a national publication going to change that? Are these ladies actually expecting her to have some sort of epiphany and change her ways? Doesn't anyone know how to take the high road anymore? Geez. Build a bridge, people!

The RHONJ Reunion: Where Ratings Sky Rocket and Xanax Flows Like Candy

by Lauren on October 3rd, 2012

If y'all are anything like me, you are still reeling from the first installment of the Real Housewives of New Jersey reunion. Even though it was essentially four against one with Andy Cohen sitting there like a mannequin, I have totally switched gears. I may be the only person who now has no sympathy for Teresa Giudice. I mean, take some responsibility! Geez. I am getting hives just thinking about it.

However, there were some positives surrounding the reunion. What are those, you may ask? Just some narcotics and sky-high ratings, of course!

VIDEO: Teresa Giudice On Wendy Williams! Says Her Parents Think RHONJ Is “Disgusting!” Plus, Joe Giudice To Accept Plea Deal?

by Mary on October 2nd, 2012

Oh, Teresa Giudice. Didn't your very sweet mama ever teach you that if you don't have anything nice to say, zip it? I'm guessing that old-fashioned adage came before the era of reality TV! In the days following the first installment of the circus of crazy known as the Real Housewives of New Jersey reunion, all eyes are on the ladies as they scramble to defend their deplorable behavior.

In a Bravo blog I'm suuuuure she wrote herself, Teresa sorta, maybe, kinda, a little bit takes accountability while also pointing fingers at others. Just to be fair – all the ladies are behaving similarly! Let's get this started.

"Like every Housewife in every city, I think filming the reunion is one of the worst parts of our job. It's a long, long day, it always gets ugly, it's hard to sit through and even harder to watch. At least this year I knew what I was walking into: I knew the other cast members, even my family, were going to band together to bash me. Last year was a total shock. This year was just sickening and sad."

"They're so desperate to make me look bad. Here's the thing: I don't care. I know who I am and I don't need to prove it to any of them. And I'm certainly not going to waste my off-camera, family time looking up words in the dictionary and making obsessive lists about them."

Real Housewives of New Jersey Recap: Deliverance Us From Sanity

by Mary on August 13th, 2012

Last night on Real Housewives of New Jersey, the ladies (and their omnipresent ~~hardworking~~ spouses) proved that when push comes to shove and contracts are on the line, they can get along like really, really well. In fact the only people not pasting on their happy faces were Caroline Manzo and husband Albert - who I was surprised to hear speak last night.

Things begin with a wake-up binge drink-a-thon amongst the men. The gang decides they are going surfing despite the freezing cold water and their inebriated state of mind. Everyone except Caroline and Al. They prefer whine to wine. Jacqueline Laurita is also sitting this one out because she feels too fat to wear a wetsuit. Didn’t she have this problem last vacation?

Never willing to spare anyone’s feelings both Teresa Giudice and separated at birth sister-in-law Melissa Gorga both strap on some of their more bodacious, sparkly, and revealing bathing suits. ‘LOOK! I’m not fat!’ they both practically shout. The guys are wiping out left and right when Teresa and Kathy Wakile decide to try out their surfboard skills. Melissa is staying ashore to “keep it sexy,” which apparently equals bedazzled. Very, very bedazzled. Like blindingly so.
