Teresa Giudice: The Wedding Ring is Off!

Teresa Giudice may simply be celebrating a milestone birthday in the photos below. Or she may be sending a pretty serious message to Instagram followers. The Real Housewives of New Jersey cast member is estranged from husband Joe, but for a very good reason: He's serving time in jail for bankruptcy fraud and then may very well be deported back to Italy upon his release . We've heard at times that Teresa therefore wants to get out of her marriage — and at other times that she'll always stick by her man's side. What should we believe? Perhaps our eyes, especially after checking out the images below. Let's see what we mean… 1. Celebrating Gia Teresa Giudice is celebrating her daughter’s 18th birthday in this photo. What a precious snapshot. 2. HOWEVER… These Instagram photos become less precious and more suspicious when you check out the star’s ring finger. It’s rather barren, isn’t it? 3. What Does This Mean? Is Giudice finally ready to pull the plug on her marriage? 4. She’s Not Offering Any Real Hints Aside from ditching the ring, that is. “The day I became your mom was the day I found purpose in my life,” wrote Teresa as a very nice caption. “Gia, you are such a sweet gentle loving smart person and I’m so fortunate to be chosen as your mother.” 5. Continued Giudice: “Thank you for being such an amazing big sister, cousin, niece, friend & all the other roles you play. I don’t know what I’d do without you. You’ll never understand how much I love you & how grateful I am.” 6. And Concluded Giudice: “I’m so proud & excited to see where your future takes you. Happy birthday my gorgeous girl. 19 – I can’t believe it!” View Slideshow

The Real Housewives of New Jersey Recap: Margaret Calls Jennifer’s Sister-in-Law a ‘Mail-Order’ Bride

It was the end of the line for Danielle Staub on Wednesday’s episode of The Real Housewives of New Jersey.  Margaret Josephs who has long advocated for Danielle to be part of the group decided enough was enough, and that their friendship was at breaking point.  Instead of getting into another altercation, Margaret opted to send a text to end her friendship with the former series regular, effectively cutting her out of the action.  “She’s wacko,” Margaret complained to her co-stars, before going on to reveal how the text exchange played out, and it was as ugly as you would expect.  “I wish you a happy life. Never speak to me again,” Margaret said to Melissa Gorga and show newcomer Jackie Goldschneider as she skimmed her phone for the damning messages.  “I can’t believe you’re this person, shame on you,” Danielle fired back before going on to wish Margaret a happy mother’s day.  While that final act sounds like Danielle’s way of being nice, it was not. If you watch The Real Housewives of New Jersey online , you know that Margaret hasn’t had the best relationship with her kids.  She has been vocal about the breakdown of her previous marriage leading to a decline in communication between her and her ex-husband’s children.  It was a typical Danielle move, but at least Margaret was wise enough to let the snake down gently by SMS.  Hell, Danielle was out for blood on last week’s installment when the two Joe’s got talking about her intentions with her then-husband.  “I didn’t answer. We’re done. We’re never having this fight again,” Margaret said to the women after spilling the beans.  “Denial is a real thing, and she f***ing is Cleopatra,” she said with a smirk.  As for the other relationship that was on the rocks, that was Teresa Giudice and Jackie Goldschneider.  Giudice was ready for a war of words. That’s what happens when you bring her family into your petty squabbles, Jackie.  “I’m definitely not intimidated by Teresa. I just hope it’s not another scream-fest,” Jackie fretted before a one-on-one meeting with her nemesis.  “What you did to me is not excusable,” said Jackie of their previous bust-up, adding: “I don’t get spoken to like that; I’m a grown woman, I have a lot of self-respect … I was like, ‘What the f***?'” “Listen, you came at me first,” Teresa shot back.  But Jackie went on to imply that she and Teresa had something in common. Her father was in jail, and her mother was under house arrest.  “We used to laugh about it,” Jackie said, clearly trying to make light of the situation.  “I’m living it right now,” Teresa said. “My kids live with it every day. And it really hurts them that their father is not here.” “I did not mean to hurt you, and for that I am sorry,” Jackie ultimately said, with Teresa accepting.  “Believe me, I’ve gotten more Namaste – I used to be a little bit crazier. So that was calm for me when I’m p***ed,” Teresa said to close off the argument.  While Margaret was washing her hands of Danielle, she didn’t realize she was gearing up for another big fight.  Teresa later told the ladies that Jennifer Aydin’s brother and his soon-to-be wife “knew each other for two weeks and now they’re getting engaged.” “Ok, that’s a little crazy,” Margaret said laughing. Teresa said it’s part of the culture and that “they don’t sleep with each other and you get to know them when you marry them,'” “What happens if he was a dud? That’s a life of torture,” continued Margaret, adding: “Oh come on, he met her in Turkey? She could be mail order.” SHOT. FIRED.  Teresa told Jennifer all about it and the latter said to Margaret: “I can’t relate to people who have affairs with married people.” This is the season of the feud, and we’re living for it! RHONJ continues Wednesdays on Bravo.  View Slideshow: Teresa Giudice: The Wedding Ring is Off!

Jon Gosselin: Hey, Kate… I May Marry Colleen Conrad!

Jon Gosselin is already a full-time father once again. As previously reported, he has won custody of son Collin and the 14-year old will move in with his father permanently some time in the next few weeks. But might Jon Gosselin also become a full-time husband once again? There is certainly a strong likelihood, the former reality star now admits. “I’ve been with Colleen for four years now,” Jon told journalists at WE tv’s Real Love: Relationship Reality TV’s Past, Present & Future panel on Tuesday in Beverly Hills. He’s referring here to Colleen Conrad, a fellow Pennsylvania resident with children of her own who saw something in Gosselin back in 2014 for some reason. “I’ve thought about [marroage], yeah – talked about it,” the father of eight added. “She’s driven. I’ve known Colleen my whole life. We grew up three blocks from each other. Her sister used to babysit me.” Jon, of course, was married to Kate Gosselin for 10 years. They got divorced in 2009, following multiple seasons of a TLC series that chronicled their seemingly unhappy marriage and their valiant attempt to raise a set of twins and a set of sextupluets. The ex-couple has been at each other’s throats basically every single day since, but the cantakerous relationship recently took a turn for the unexpected. Gosselin filed for custody of Collin and at least temporarily won his case when Kate simply no-showed a court hearing on December 4. “That’s her. I would always go to court, no matter what,” Gosselin said in response to his ex’s baffling decision. Jon has also been spending a great deal of time with daughter Hannah for over a year now, but he does not have legal custody of her. Not yet, at least. Kate is yet to speak publicly on her former husband returning prominently to the lives of her kids. She’s barely said anything about anything at all on social media, in fact. As for when Jon might propose to Colleen? “Just look at my Instagram,” he simply teases for now. “That’s how stories get out anyway, I guess. It’s so funny.” In November, Jon shared a picture of he and Colleen’s blended family, including two of his children: the aforementioned daughter Hannah and son Collin. Also featured in the photo were Conrad’s son Jesse and daughter Jordan. Those are her only two kids. Looking forward, Jon says he’s excited to welcome Collin home after he spent two years in a program for young ones with special needs. Into his home, of course, that is. “It was just easier for the transition,” Jon explains. “So it’d be easier for one parent to just transition him home, and he wanted to live with me, so it was easier to do it that way. Hannah lives with me full time.”

The Real Housewives of New Jersey Recap: Danielle Staub Goes HAM

Wednesday’s episode of The Real Housewives of New Jersey was all about Danielle Staub’s bachelorette party, and while there were no tables being flipped, there was a lot of drama.  Now, you may be wondering why Danielle is having a bachelorette party, especially when we know that her marriage has already fizzled out.  But thanks to the power of reality TV, we’re getting to watch this trainwreck play out, and let’s just say we’re loving every minute of it.  Danielle wanted the best bachelorette party ever and even expected the likes of Margaret Josephs, Teresa Giudice, and Melissa Gorga to plan the whole bash out.  You may be scratching your head wondering why Margaret would take anything do with the event because Danielle has been treating her like something you would scrape off your shoe, but here we are.  “It needs to be perfect,” Danielle started with her list of diva-like demands. “I want only dairy- and gluten-free options. And the environment needs to be an expensive environment, but I also want really nice gifts.” We’re surprised she didn’t ask for a horse and carriage. Then again, the producers were probably scared Teresa got mad and flipped the carriage with Danielle in it.  We kid, mostly.  Margaret then made a rookie mistake by reminding Danielle of that time she had her registry at Hermes and Versace.  Shots fired.  Over to you, Danielle! “It’s just time to kick it into high f–king gear, that’s all. You guys need to be texting me in the morning saying, ‘Countdown!’ That wouldn’t suck. It’s about being here for me.” Melissa even likened herself, Teresa and Margaret to “bridesmaids/servants” and even that wasn’t enough to dial Danielle’s demands.  What she did next was raise holy hell by praising Melissa and Teresa for always being there when she needed them.  “My expectations were for you to check in and make sure that I’m doing okay,” Danielle said, clearly dragging Magaret right through the mud. “I’m getting married.” “It was a really lonely day when I had my fitting and my alterations,” Danielle said, but Margaret was having absolutely none of it.  “We went to get your dress with you!” she barked back.  “Oh, no, I got a different gown altogether,” Danielle complained as she geared up for a shouting match.  “WHY NOT CALL ME? WHY NOT BREAK THE SILENCE AND CALL THE BRIDE?” “I DIDN’T EVEN KNOW YOU WENT FOR YOUR F–KING ALTERATIONS!” Margaret shouted back at her former friend.  “I want people to pay attention to me!” Danielle complained. “When do I get to feel like the bride, instead of feeling like I’m attacked and gnawed at like a dog with a f–king bone?!” Oh yeah, Danielle wants the whole show to be about her. Did she forget that she’s only billed as a friend of the housewives? “The way you just spoke to me is disgusting,” said Margaret as she got ready for round forty-six.  But Danielle was not ready to back down.  “So I shouldn’t register as a bride?”  That’s when Margaret flipped the hell out, but thankfully no tables were harmed.  “NO, YOU SHOULDN’T! YOU KNOW WHAT YOU SHOULD F–KING DO? YOU SHOULD SAY, ‘NO GIFTS. IN LIEU OF GIFTS, DONATE TO CHARITY.’ BECAUSE YOU HAVE A F–KING HOUSE FULL OF SHIT AND IT’S YOUR SECOND WEDDING. YOU’RE A F–KING BRIDEZILLA, AND YOU’RE BEING AN ASSHOLE.” That was enough to stop Danielle’s power trip, and she apologized to Margaret. Seriously though, what the eff is Danielle all about? The party went relatively well, but Melissa worried that her friend was gearing up for marriage for all the wrong reasons.  “How are you feeling about everything?” she said to Danielle. “I’m a little nervous because it’s not even here in Jersey,” Danielle responded. “We’re going someplace. What if my gowns don’t make it? What if people don’t make it?” Danielle got the wrong end of the stick, and Melissa confirmed what she meant.  “Just like any other relationship, there’s peaks and valleys,” Danielle replied. “And when you come together at our age, there’s gonna be a lot of peaks and valleys.” Yeah, it certainly seems like there was trouble before the couple even got married.  What are your thoughts on all of this?

The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 8 Episode 15 Recap: Margaret vs. Siggy

Kim D was back to stir the pot on The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 8 Episode 15 , and Teresa Giudice was not about to let her leave without throwing in her two cents.  Watch The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 8 Episode 15 Online “F—k yeah, I’m on probation, bitch,” Teresa snarled at her enemy before saying that Posche stood for “Piece Of S—t Coke wHore Every day.” Yes, we’re not so sure Teresa is very good at her spelling. We pity the editor of her books.  Kim then pointed out that the fashion show raised $3,000 for the family, and that only paved the way for some more drama as Teresa claimed Kim stole some of the money for herself.  Teresa yelled that Kim D liked to wreck marriages, and even threw in some words about her being a madame. This paved the way for Kim to say that she did not hate the idea of being one.  Wouldn’t it be great if returned full-time? There would be fights on an episodic basis. It would really be Kim D vs. the world.  When Kim D was ushered out of the studio because she served her purpose to rile the women up, Margaret Josephs admitted that she was being sued for over $9 million by Vineyard Vines.  This has been widely speculated on social media and something Siggy Flicker has been taunting her with via social media, so it’s excellent that Margaret admitted it.  Margaret was adamant that it was “normal” in the industry, but Siggy continued to try and paint the fashion designer as a bad person.  Now that Siggy is out of the cast, we can breathe a huge sigh of relief until the producers cast the next unstable person to try and cut the women down.  Then, it all switched up and gave us a Dolores Catania and Danielle Staub argument for the ages. If you watch The Real Housewives of New Jersey online, you will already know that Danielle has been critical of Dolores’ relationship with her ex-husband, Frank.  Dolores admitted that something was “off” with Danielle and that she did not have any evidence to back up the claims that she was on drugs. “I get it. You don’t like me, but shut the f—k up and stop calling me names,” Danielle fired back at her nemesis.  “I don’t want anything to do with Dolores Catania, that piece of s—t,” Danielle subsequently said while Dolores was backstage, and it became clear that Dolores loved winding Danielle up.  She was legit laughing and Danielle shouting. Well played, Dolores.  In the end, it all came down to Margaret vs. Siggy, which has been the storyline all season long.  Siggy would not confirm whether she thought Margaret was anti-semitic, saying:  “Only Margaret knows what’s in her heart.” But things took a tense turn when Margaret started telling Siggy that she had deep ties to Jewish people.  “Shame on you. You are not Jewish. You didn’t convert. You are not Jewish,” Siggy balked at her.  Andy chimed in with his thoughts and admitted that his parents did not agree with Siggy’s sentiments about Margaret.  “You don’t bring him up in casual conversation,” Siggy said. “It’s done.” So, that’s a wrap on The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 8 !

The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 8 Episode 14 Recap: Margaret Josephs vs. Siggy Flicker

When you have a group as divided as the one on The Real Housewives of New Jersey, it’s difficult to imagine what will happen at the reunion.  On The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 8 Episode 14 , Teresa Giudice, Melissa Gorga, Siggy Flicker, Dolores Catania, Margaret Josephs and Danielle Staub assembled to break down their thoughts on the tumultuous season of drama.  As always, it all seemed friendly when the episode kicked off, and Margaret was quick to reveal that Joe’s kids watch the show, but they still do not want anything to do with her.  You could tell that was difficult for her, but the whole situation for her seemed bizarre because, well, she left the father of the children and expected them to continue as though everything was normal.  “The only genuine thing you’ve said to me this season is that you are trying to destroy me,” Margaret said to Siggy with a wealthy dose of side-eye, but Siggy continued to act like Margaret was out to her.  Margaret did admit that both of them were as bad as each other, but Siggy continued to act like she was the main attraction of the cast and that Margaret was nothing more than a vile peasant.  Margaret defended her stance about Soggy gate. She said it was about Siggy’s behavior and not to trash her medical condition. Andy chimed in, saying that Siggy was selling merchandise the “Soggy” at her retreat.  Siggy countered that she turns negatives into positives. We think the more probable cause is she turns anything into a profit. Margaret closed off her trash talk of Siggy by saying that her blaming her erratic behavior on menopause was “victimizing.” In the most random topic change ever, Siggy yelled at Margaret that her husband shot a bear like “Elmer Fudd.” The conversation switched to whether there would be changes for Teresa and Joe when they get to get back together.  “I guess when he comes home, he has a lot of making up to do. I was hurt, and a lot of anger came out,” she said.  However, Andy questioned whether Teresa would move to Italy with Joe if he was deported and she said the following: “Whatever God has planned for me, that’s what will happen,” she declared. Yeah, there was something off about it. Maybe the rumors about Teresa having a new man are correct.  Andy then quizzed the ladies about the great big cake fight that kicked off the season. Melissa was mad that Siggy ridiculed her multiple times about it, and felt like she needed to dial it back.  “It was humiliating. I was embarrassed,” Melissa said while glaring at Siggy.  Tensions took a turn for the worse when Kim D was introduced to the stage.  “I guess they let the animal out of the cage,” Teresa snapped before adding, ” “I thought this was The Real Housewives of New Jersey, not Tales from the Crypt.” Andy told Teresa not to move off the couch. Teresa wanted to slap Kim D around the stage. Let’s face it, Kim has been vile to everyone.  What did you think of the drama? The Real Housewives of New Jersey comes to a dramatic conclusion next Wednesday on Bravo! View Slideshow: Teresa and Joe Giudice: Getting DIVORCED Over Cheating Allegations?!

Lord Snowdon Dies; Royal Rogue Was 86

The name Anthony Armstrong-Jones may no longer be widely recognized on this side of the pond, but there was a time when the Earl of Snowdon was a tabloid fixture with as firm a grip on the public’s imagination as the most scandalous stars of today. The husband of Queen Elizabeth II’s sister, Princess Margaret, Snowdon lived out loud in a fashion that scandalized the royals and helped define the hedonistic zeitgeist of the Swinging Sixties. A photographer, filmmaker and unabashed bohemian, Snowdon captivated Britons when he married Margaret in 1960, and his status as a relatable commoner amongst royals has earned him comparisons to Princess Diana. At first, Snowdon’s freewheeling lifestyle made him a perfect fit for the rebellious Margaret, and the British press fell in love with the young couple that was so unlike the more sedate Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip.  Eventually, however, Snowdon’s appetite for promiscuous sex (with women and men alike), hard-partying, and hob-nobbing with his era’s biggest celebrities put a strain on his marriage, and he and Margaret divorced in 1978. In the years that followed, Snowdon was lauded for his discretion, turning down lucrative offers to pen a tell-all about his time as a royal in-law. Eventually, however, the more lurid details of his wild life and times came to light: Snowdon lived a life of extremes, at once both highly ambitious and accomplished (In addition to his artistic achievements, he received a patent for an electric wheelchair that he invented in 1971.), and given over to debauched behavior that’s shocking by today’s standards, let alone the stuffy mores of England in the early ’60s. One of the more recent gossip items about his personal life came to light in 2008, when Snowdon admitted to fathering a daughter out of wedlock just months before marrying Princess Margaret. The child – conceived during an alcohol and amyl-nitrate-fueled threesome – was born while Armstrong-Jones was on his honeymoon with Princess Margaret. It was only when she was in her late forties that the woman learned Snowdon was her father via a DNA test. Just months after his marriage to Margaret ended, Snowdon married Lucy Lindsay Hogg, who gave birth to his daughter, Frances, in 1979. Margaret never remarried, and died of a stroke in 2002. Though he’ll likely be best remembered for his involvement with the royals and his decadent lifestyle, those who followed Snowdon’s career say that he had a tremendous impact on the arts scene in London throughout his multi-decade career. The many famous subjects who sat for photo sessions with Snowdon say his charisma, warmth, and sense of humor made for a relaxed environment that resulted in uniquely intimate images. Sources say he passed away peacefully at home. View Slideshow: Celebrities Who Passed Away in 2016: Gone, But Not Forgotten
