RHONJposheOkay, this is a strange show. It’s a one on one with all of the Real Housewives of New Jersey. Only it’s not sequential, or all together, it’s them each talking to Andy about a subject and then the answers are sort of interspersed with each other. It’s two or more sides to a story, and then suddenly there is a new topic, more flip-flopping between interested parties and some video footage in between. It’s rather frantic and disjointed, so this blog will be as well. It’s not exactly a blow-by-blow but it is pretty detailed. I hope it makes sense.

Andy starts with Kathy and asks about growing up with Teresa and Joe as cousins. She said she is older than they are and to her (and Rosie) they were just like little dolls. Teresa was just like Milania. Then, they show that part of Tre’s interview and she says there were long periods of times they did not speak (the two families, I assume). They started speaking again about the time Tre turned 16. Continue reading »

RHONJtrefightdirtyYeah, Yeah, I heard about the big brawl in NJ last weekend. I have just not been feeling writing about the Real Housewives of New Jersey yet. I don’t know why, perhaps I have RHOBH overload. Or RHOA overload. I guess I need to gear up and get to talking about RHONJ and RHOOC.  So about last Saturday, it seems that Johnny the Greek (JTG) finally got the camera time he was seeking and now he wants to press charges. Really Johnny? Johnny is claiming he still has a stiletto mark on his forehead that Jacqueline left there.

The story among the RHONJ sources are a bit varied on this one. Here is the version I think is probably the closest to the truth. JTG (JTG) has been wanting to be on the show for quite some time. He is connected to the show through salon owner Penny who is friends with Tre.  The opening of the second Posche store was the setting for the scene. That store is connected to or part of Penny’s hair salon. Continue reading »

This is a Tamaratattles EXCLUSIVE with EXCLUSIVE sources so please do not steal my work. You are welcome to quote a portion with a link back to this page but not the entire piece. Thanks so much!

Yesterday there was a lot of coverage of the Real Housewives of New Jersey cast at the official launch for Teresa’s haircare line, Milania Hair Care. The reports claimed that the Gorgas and the Giudices were greeting each other with kisses and hugs and posing happily for pictures together. It’s that special. So I contacted my RHONJ source to find out how this unexpected display of public affection occurred. It seems that everything is not as it appears.  This season it seems that most of the fighting occurs off camera and the RHONJ are trying to clean up their public image a bit.  However, they have not been 100% successful in their endeavors.

Tidbits About Real Housewives of New Jersey Filming

RHONJtrepeaceI’ve been getting lots of requests to talk about what is going on with the filming of Real Housewives of New Jersey. I’ve been hearing things for quite a while but not enough to warrant a blog. Now there is all of this ex-boyfriend of Melissa drama going on and I might as well try to sort of catch y’all up to speed. I warn you in advance it isn’t any shocking tea.  Let’s start where I left off last season. Remember this shocking post where I (at least temporarily) professed myself to be a Tre hugger?  I still believe that Tre was set up in Strippergate by production and that Jac Laurita was fully aware it was going to go down. It appears that a certain producer is no longer working on RHONJ. I also said that on the new season, Tre was going to get the good edit and the story arc would be Melissa getting a turn in the crappy edit chair. It turns out I was at least half right there.

I think New Jersey is about mid-way through filming and the hammer seems to be dropping on Melissa. Recently, an ex-boyfriend of Melissa’s has shown up on twitter and SHOCKINGLY RadarOnline has picked up the story. The guy is named Bryan and he claims to have been Melissa’s boyfriend before Melissa married Joe.  I should point out that Melissa got married almost 8 years ago in 2004.  Isn’t it interesting that this guy turns up on the season where Melissa has been cast as the villain?  Basically this guys tweets say that Melissa lived with him and his parents while working at Lookers and at some point his father threw her out of the house. He claims Melissa hid in bushes and stalked him. He also says that Melissa gave him an ultimatum to stop seeing other women or “she would marry the millionaire.”  This is supposed to paint Melissa as money hungry. Really? Is this news? Find me a housewife that didn’t consider finances when marrying these “rich” people.  Continue reading »

Andy Cohen Calls Out Teresa Giudice For Making $6500 on Her Apology Story

Fine. I’ll sit up and blog this one last episode of the Real Housewives of New Jersey. But I ain’t happy about it. Andy wants to address the gay slurs again. Because insulting gays is bad. But making multiple shows with people degrading women is called making a living. Oh Teresa, “Everyone laughed. It was funny.” Joe looks bad enough. You are not helping.

Then they pitted Team Tre against Team Caroline in a truck pulling contest. Team Caroline won. This footage should have stayed lost. Maybe the next segment will be the lost scenes of Tre looking smart and misunderstood. Nope. Toilet humor. Why am I watching this?

Jacqueline Laurita is giving parenting advice to Teresa Giudice on national TV. Jac says she learned to “take some time out of her busy schedule once in a while to spend time with her kids” when she was raising Ashley. That must have been once in a very short while if her tweeting schedule this past year is any indication. Just today, one of the few days she doesn’t have Nick shipped of to extensive ABA training, she went and got a facial. I guess she needed a little me time. I don’t care how out of control Tre’s kids are, she spends way more time with her kids that Jac does despite being  at a million appearances. Continue reading »

Joe Giudice Cheating on Teresa? Shocker!

This is sort of a non-story story I think, but I’m going to post about it and see what y’all think. Radar Online has some pictures from September 23, just a couple weeks after the Real Housewives  of New Jersey Reunion was filmed, that they allege show Joe Giudice cheating on a trip to Atlantic City. Teresa was at an appearance making the money for Joe to gamble with in North Carolina that evening. Say it ain’t so, Joe! I don’t think anyone saw this one coming! Okay, seriously, I think it is pretty obvious that Joe cheats on Tre.  The thing is, this story is not overy convincing. And really, how hard is it to convince me Joe Giudice is cheating?  Let’s take a looked at the story the source, who actually gave her name had to tell us. Continue reading »

Random Real Housewives of New Jersey Reunion Thoughts

Look, I am going to try to get this up and out with one watch in real time, so apologies in advance for whatever I miss. Meanwhile, I’m watching the end of the last episode of this crapfest and Kathy Wakile seems to love going in on Tre. That’s new behavior. Maybe it is the real her?

We start with Rosie going off backstage like the thug she is. Rosie is threatening to kill Tre. Caroline is trying to mediate, but she does it from perspective of Melissa and Kathy. Not the way to go, Caroline. And while I have your attention, you have your own family issues that you want everyone to butt out of but here you are, smack in the middle of someone else’s family. I get you are trying to help, but because I like you, I wish you would just shut up and stay out of the gutter. Continue reading »

What’s Wrong With This Picture? A Two-fer With Teresa Giudice

02 Sunday Sep 2012

Posted by in Joe Giudice, Real Housewives of New Jersey, RHONJ, Teresa Giudice, What's Wrong With This Picture?

Teresa and Juicy Joe are still down the shore. Teresa is still in a monokini and a cowboy style hat. This time it’s pink. Seems like Gia and Milania were MIA. Teresa has a huge smile plastered on in every picture. Joe sports his usual constipated expression. There’s another picture after the jump if you dare.

Is Teresa Giudice’s Contract With In Touch Over?

15 Wednesday Aug 2012

Posted by in Joe Giudice, Real Housewives of New Jersey, RHONJ, Teresa Giudice

InTouchWeekly has a new article on Teresa Giudice that it very, very odd. Odd enough to make me suspect that her contract with In Touch may have expired. The following is the entirety of the quotes that Teresa provided to In Touch that was included in the online version.

I felt like I’d been kicked in the stomach. I was humiliated. I can’t defend him on this. I’m hurt by him and disappointed by him. I am not stupid. I will not be with him. I will totally leave him.

Other than the “I am not stupid.” comment, which is the anthem of all stupid people, none of that sounds like Teresa.  The only other quote was in reference to Joe where she allegedly said,

He was so ashamed and embarrassed. He was like, ‘I can’t believe I ever said that.’

Juicy Joe? Embarassed and ashamed? The man has never felt shame in his life.

Finally, the article quotes Teresa as saying, “If this continues, I will leave.”  Really now, IF?  How many times has he already done this. Tre is not going anywhere unless maybe he does some time. She’s at the beach with him this week!

The only interesting thing about this story really is that it seems that one of two things are happening here. Either Teresa just signed off on the quotes, asked for the wishy-washy part regarding her leaving and forewarned Joe. Or, her contract with In Touch has expired and she decided not to renew it because of all the family drama that it caused. Teresa’s income has risen dramatically since her contract with In Touch was originally signed a few years ago, she doesn’t need them anymore, and even if she wants a tabloid contract she can now shop for more lucrative options.

What do you think? Are Tre’s days with In Touch officially over?
