• It Looks Like 'RHONJ' Will Be Shelved Until Teresa Giudice Is Released from Prison in April 2016!

    Just about every day now we are hearing a different story about what the future may hold for Teresa Giudice in terms of work. "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" star is scheduled to begin serving a 15-month sentence Jan. 5 after pleading guilty to financial fraud. The most recent season of her reality show wrapped up in October, and now Bravo executives need to figure out what they are going to do. At first it was rumored that "RHONJ" would continue on and bring back some old fan favorites to the canvas, but now it seems that Bravo is more inclined to put the series on hiatus.According to a report by Radar Online, sources close to the show are saying that network execs are fearing that without Giudice, the ratings will be dismal. Even with her there this past season, the numbers took a serious dip. Apparently, some insiders seem to think that shelving the show for a while is the best thing to do. Storylines seem to be a real problem because most of the latest additions to the cast have bored viewers into changing the channel.If "RHONJ" takes a break now and returns in 2016 with Giudice in the cast, fresh out of prison, it would likely do well. Fans of the show would want to see if jail time has changed her, and we already know that Giudice will be looking for a way to profit from her unfortunate experience. It might actually be the only way to get more mileage out of the show.

  • After 'RHONJ,' Bravo Is Finished Doing Business with Convicted Felon Teresa Giudice

    It looks like Teresa Giudice may have a harder time cashing in after she serves her 15 months behind bars than she originally had thought. "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" star had reportedly been hoping to secure some sort of television deal with Bravo, either for a cooking show or her own reality show, that would begin production around April 2016 after her release. Instead, it seems like the network is just about finished doing business with the woman who has been convicted of several financial crimes.At one point in time, Giudice had several endorsement deals, but the majority of those have been shelved and she still owes more than $200,000 in restitution plus has four kids to raise. Money has become a huge issue for the fallen star, but according to Radar Online, Bravo is not jumping at the chance to do anymore business with her."Teresa hasn't been offered any new projects with Bravo. In fact, there is a lot of bad feelings where Bravo and Teresa are concerned. The network feels used and was stunned Teresa said in court documents that the show was a sham. Bravo would never sign Teresa up for her own show after everything that has gone down! It seems like someone that was once close to Teresa is now floating false stories about her, hoping to get back in good favor with her. It's not going to work," said a source close to the situation.

  • 'RHONJ' Teresa Giudice Is Getting Those Divorce Papers Ready as Marriage to Joe Giudice Is in Ruins

    Teresa Giudice is scheduled to surrender to authorities at a prison camp in Connecticut Jan. 5, a stint that will ultimately keep her locked away from her kids for 15 months. One of the ways that "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" star is dealing with her temporary fate is by beginning to plan for her life afterward. Once she is released, her husband Joe Giudice will immediately begin serving a 41-month sentence for a string of financial crimes, and it is unlikely that they will be married once he is a free man.According to a report by the "Daily Mail," Teresa is already planning on having Joe served with divorce papers shortly after he is locked up. She is already furious that she trusted his business dealings only to find herself a convicted felon who needs to serve prison time. The reality star has insisted that she was prone to signing things that her husband put in front of her without really understanding what the documents actually were. As time has gine on, Teresa has found the resentment growing and she knows that it will only be worse once she is locked up while Joe is still walking free.

  • 'RHONJ' Teresa Giudice Is Trying to Force Her Husband Into Rehab to Delay Her Own Prison Time

    Desperate times call for desperate measures, and it sounds like Teresa Giudice is willing to do anything to postpone her 15-month jail stay. The star of "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" has admitted that since being sentenced that her husband, Joe Giudice, has a drinking problem. In fact, his defense team tried to use his addiction to try and sway the judge toward sending him to rehab rather than jail for his string of financial crimes. That did not work, but now Teresa has found a way for her husband's battle with booze to actually help her.According to a report by Radar Online, Teresa is supposedly pushing hard for Joe to check himself into a rehab facility ahead of her Jan. 5 surrender date. Apparently, she is hoping that if Joe were to go to rehab, then her attorney could petition the court to change her surrender date. The judge in this case has said she does not want the Giudices's four daughters to be left at home without a parent, so she probably would be willing to change Teresa's date if her husband were to decide to get help.

  • Caroline Manzo Reportedly Returning to 'The Real Housewives of New Jersey' Once Teresa Giudice Is in Prison

    We recently told you that Bravo was working hard to try and strike a deal with Caroline Manzo to bring her back to "The Real Housewives of New Jersey." She opted out of filming the most recent season, so the producers brought in a trio of new ladies who just did not click with the audience. Midway through, they brought Jacqueline Laurita back in a desperate attempt to get former fans to tune back in, and they realize that for the show to have any chance of pulling decent numbers, they need a favorite like Manzo back in the fold.Teresa Giudice used to be the glue that held "RHONJ" together, and viewers loved the havoc she wrecked in nearly episode. There seems to be a huge difference between lying about her sister-in-law's activities and bilking people out of millions, and once it was confirmed that Giudice is a criminal, her fans became few and far between.Bravo also has to try and clean up the reputation of the show because Giudice is headed to prison, Laurita's tax evasion has been catching headlines and Joe and Melissa Gorga's business dealings are always questionable. Part of what makes Manzo so popular is that she comes across as the hardworking, Italian mother, something that is respected.According to The Hollywood Life, it looks like Manzo is a sure bet to return to the show for Season 7, especially once Giudice is in jail and the rest of the ladies are in one way or another affected by her absence.

  • Joe Giudice Cheating on Teresa Giudice Again? New Rumors Accuse 'RHONJ' Star

    It seems like just about once every year Joe Giudice finds himself caught up in allegations that he has cheated on his wife, Teresa Giudice. "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" stars have been trying really hard to present a united front when Bravo's cameras are rolling, but behind the scenes various sources have been saying for months now that things are a mess.

  • 'RHONJ's' Teresa Giudice Is Wasting Away as Her Incarceration Date Gets Closer

    When Teresa Giudice was sentenced to prison along with her husband Joe in early October, the judge thought she was being kind by allowing Teresa to report to a prison camp Jan. 5. Those few extra months of freedom meant both parents would be able to spend maybe their last holiday season together with their four daughters. While "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" couple has tried to publicly present a united front, the truth of the matter is that behind the scenes they are falling apart.Joe used his alcoholism as a way to try and get out of jail time, as his attorney made a plea for him to go to rehab rather than prison. That attempt failed and Joe's actions since being convicted are hardly that of a man looking to get sober. Instead, multiple sources close to the family have said he is out at the bars daily, and Teresa is not doing much better.According to a report by Radar Online, Teresa is barely eating anything at all and has lost 11 pounds in the last month. Friends claim she lives on coffee, wine and a few nibbles here and there because she is super stressed about going to jail. While she has not yet said it out loud, Teresa has to be, on some level, concerned about leaving her kids with a man who cannot stay sober. She likely never really believed that she would go to prison for the few counts of fraud she pled guilty to. If she did entertain even the notion, it was probably something that was, in her mind, years away — after Joe finished serving his time.

  • Bravo Hoping to Save 'RHONJ' after Teresa Giudice Leaves by Bringing Back Caroline Manzo

    Can Caroline Manzo save "The Real Housewives of New Jersey"? The Italian mom had enough of the crazy chaos and opted not to do season six of the reality show that just finished airing this week. Bravo gave her family their own spin off show, "Manzo'd with Children" that did even better than the network had hoped, solidifying what they already knew, Manzo has a huge fan base. That's something that could come in serious handy if RHONJ has any hope of returning for a seventh season, especially since Teresa Giudice will be reporting to a Connecticut prison camp in less than two months.

After Teresa finishes serving her sentence, then it will be Joe's turn to spend nearly four years behind bars, after which he will likely be deported back to Italy.Their days living under the same roof as a family are clearly numbered, and it is likely that once Teresa is released from jail she will file for divorce from Joe once and for all.
