Jail Is No Big Deal For Joe

From Radar Online.

The husband of Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice — who turned himself in to jail Monday, as RadarOnline.com exclusively reported — has brashly told family and friends the slammer is just like a “vacation”.

The beefcake dad of four was sentenced to the next 10 days in the slammer for driving with a suspended license but he is supposedly looking at his time in the pokey as a paradise.

“He doesn’t care if he goes to jail because he said then he gets paid because the magazines will want his story,” a source told RadarOnline.com.

“He said he’ll be on vacation and getting paid at the same time.”

Said the source: “He is not bothered by it at all. He doesn’t care about going to jail. It’s absolutely no big deal for him.”

Joe Started His Jail Sentence

Article from The NY Post.

By PERRY CHIARAMONTE
The husband of "Real Housewife" Teresa Giudice today began serving his 10-day jail sentence stemming from a drunk driving conviction, authorities said.

Joe Giudice, 40, the husband of the "Real Housewives of New Jersey" star, was sentenced by a judge last week and also fined $1,000.

Giudice also had his license suspended for seven months and ordered to pay a $300 fine, according to court papers.
Giudice did not speak to reporters as he walked into the Morris County Correctional Facility.

Last month, Giudice appeared before a judge to appeal the DWI sentence he received in March. The drunk driving conviction was Giudice's first-ever offense and at the time the judge imposed maximum penalties of a one-year loss of his driver's license, a $500 fine and 48 hours at the Intoxicated Driver Resource Center.

The judge had also ordered Giudice to serve either 30 days community service or 30 days in jail.

At last month's hearing, another judge reduced the sentence -- cutting out the 30 days community service or jail time altogether. The judge also reduced the license suspension from a year to seven months, slashed the fine to $300 and told Giudice to complete 12 hours at the resource center.

Giudice was charged with driving under the influence in January after crashing his car into a telephone pole in Montville Township, NJ.

Africa Inspired This Seasons Collection

Interview from Betty.

Exclusive: RHONY's Ramona Singer Dishes With Betty!
The reality star and designer talks about her new line, her inspirations and how she picks her TV outfits.
By:Brooke Sager/BettyConfidential’s multi-talented, fabulous intern

Ramona Singer of the Real Housewives of New York is unveiling her Fall jewelry line tonight on HSN! It’s a new twist for the designer; she’s incorporating new materials and like golds, exquisite woods, beautiful stones and tons of color. You’ll be tempted to buy it all. But don’t worry, everything is still affordable.

As Ramona puts it, “Whether you’re wearing jeans or a cocktail dress, my collection is designed for women who want the look of Madison Avenue and the red carpet without spending thousands of dollars.”

Tell us about your new jewelry line.
My signature has always been cuffs. I used to always do my cuffs in platinum, but this time I’m introducing wood and gold. For this season, I did this beautiful cuff in a special wood with a matching ring. I also did a cuff trimmed with onyx that looks like 14-carat gold. That one has matching earrings. I also did a lot of greens for fall. Believe it or not, colored jewelry works with everything—it makes any outfit pop. If you buy a beautiful blouse, you can’t wear that everyday. But a great piece of jewelry can accent a simple t-shirt in a fun way. Your attitude and how you feel just changes—I love jewelry!

Ramona Singer lapis, tanzanite, diamond, sterling and wood cuff ($649.90, hsn.com)
How is your jewelry different from what’s already out there in the market?
My jewelry looks expensive, but it’s totally affordable. It’s good quality at the price of costume jewelry. I did smaller diamond hoops this season. They go with everything and look like they’re thousands of dollars. No one would ever know they’re only $299! Also, the stones I use look precious. In one piece, I used a pink topaz that looks exactly like a sapphire.

Does most of your jewelry come in sets?
A lot of it does, yes. But the beauty of it is, everything can be worn matchy-match or mixed up. It’s like clothing—you can buy the matching outfit, but wear it different ways. In this collection, I did some pieces with blue amethyst. They look great alone, but can also work with pieces from past collections.

Ramona Singer green jade and diamond sterling silver wrap necklace ($299.90, hsn.com)
Do you have a favorite piece?
I love them all! They’re all like my children. Every day I wear something different. Today, I’m wearing my jade piece that can go from day into night. One of the great things about my jewelry is that it makes you feel very special and beautiful every day.

Who are your favorite designers?
I like anything with a sense of style. I especially love estate jewelry and deco jewelry because it looks just as good now as it will in 30 years. They’re investment pieces—you can pass it on to your children. I did I few little pieces inspired by a Fifth Avenue store that does floral and clover looks.

What made you want to get into the fashion industry, specifically jewelry design?
I’ve always been into fashion. I graduated from the Fashion Institute of Technology, and then went into jewelry with my husband (Mario Singer.) I have always loved jewelry, and I thought to myself, why can’t I create a line that is affordable for every woman in America?

What inspires you?
Mostly my travels and things that I see on people. I used a lot of green this season because I was recently in Africa—the colors there were so vibrant. That trip also made me want to experiment with wider cuffs and exotic woods. I also went to Capri, which inspired my huge pear shape ring and matching necklace.

What is it like to be on HSN?
HSN is a really great company. They’re so friendly and warm, I feel like I’m working for family. They’re fab and they love what they do—and to be successful in work, you must love what you do.

How is it different than the Real Housewives of New York?
Housewives looks for the drama. Then after you’re filmed, you don’t know how you’re being edited. HSN is totally professional, and I really enjoy dealing with a host who likes jewelry how much I do.

Do you get nervous on camera?
Nope. Sometimes I think I speak too much, and sometimes too little. It’s hard to gear that. I’m used to working when I don’t even know the cameras are there (on Housewives.) When I’m on HSN, looking directly at the cameras is hard. Sometimes I don’t even know where to look! I’m like, “which camera?!”

How do you pick your outfit for the HSN appearances?
I dress on HSN how I do in real life. I like wearing solid colors. Prints own you, and you need to be the one wearing the outfit! I’m kind of over black these days, though. I want to show people that it’s not only diamonds you can wear with color. If you’re in a purple dress, it’s fun to wear peridot or jade.

What do you do to prepare for your HSN show?
I talk to my jewelry! I look at each peace and caress it, because each one is my special creation.

Kelly Bensimon's Fashion Week Diary Part IV: Tory Burch Perfected Jet-Set Chic For Spring
By:Kelly Killoren Bensimon
It's 9 a.m. and it's time to check out Tory Burch's Spring 2011 collection. Would it be a show? A presentation? No one was clear. Was Jay-Z going to be there, or just the regular fashionites? One thing, however, seemed for sure: Tory's line would take the cool, chic, well-traveled look to new heights. I was right. For this collection, Burch's muse travels to souks in Morocco, cilmbs every mountain, and has a vaguely European, but unltimately unplaceable accent. The crowd -- which included hairdresser Frederic Fekkai, the "pied piper" of all the uptown ladies -- kept saying "I want that" over and over again. From high-waisted pants, to '70s inspired easy dresses, everyone wanted it all! I heard that Kayne West even made an appearance, but I must have missed him. Sugar! But I did see some cool looks that I was lucky enough to discuss with the lady of the hour -- Ms. Burch. The Spring 2011 line is looking hot, strong, and sophisticated. Get ready ladies, the sweat pants and t-shirts are gone for spring. It's time to look hot again!

The Real Housewives of Miami Rumors Continue

Article from the Miami New Times.


Miami seems like the perfect location for a spin-off of the Reality TV behemoth Real Housewives franchise that Bravo has unleashed on the world. Though, when The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills premiers next month there will be six distinct Housewives series, so we have to wonder if Bravo even has room for a Miami series.
We know the channel has been working on a series called Miami Social Club, a supposed revamp of the ratings-failure that was Miami Social. However, Lesley Abravanel says that the show is actually Real Housewives of Miami in disguise.

From Scene in the Tropics:

Our behind-the-camera mole tells us that an ``official'' Real Housewives promo -- you know, the one where the ladies are either fondling a peach or something to represent their geographical location (in Miami's case, a bag of cocaine or a saline implant wouldn't be such a bad thing since an orange was already taken) -- was recently filmed with all the gals in tow. We contacted our official Bravo mouthpiece who was cagey, telling us that since no air date has been secured, the show sort of remains nameless. But it all sounds like it's pointing to that splashy, trashy, trainwrecky drama-fest many of us, ahem, have grown to love.

Interesting.
Miami Social Club started filming way back in March, and seven months is an unusually long time to be filming a reality show. So, who knows, maybe the producers did have to retool.

Scene in the Tropics reported back in March that the cast included Lea Black (known, along with her Attorney husband Roy, for their lavish yearly charity galas), Marysol Patton (a PR professional), Christy Rice (Heat player Glen Rice's ex), Alexia Echeverria (executive editor of something called Venue Magazine), Adriana Sidi (art world socialist), Larsa Pippen (Scottie Pippin's better half), and Elayne Lancaster, the queen of South Beach who just happens to be a drag queen. That is a pretty feminine cast. The original post also mentioned a sole male cast member, Jason Clarke, an associate of Clarke's, but maybe he just plays a supportive role.

Of course, Miami is already home to Basketball Wives, VH1's baller themed knock-off of the franchise, and another knock-off of the series was filming over in Naples, but we'll full heartedly welcome an official Miami version of Housewives.

Danielle Is A "Momager"

Article from Times Of The Internet.


Danielle Staub might not be around for the next season of RHoNJ, but that just means that she can kickstart her career by being 'momager' to her daughters Christine, 16 and Jillian, 12.

Both girls are looking to launch their careers in entertainment.

The former Real Housewife told Star, "I am their 'momager.'"

To clarify her duties in her newly created position, she said, "They have legitimate managers, but everything comes through me. I have them with people I trust."

Christine is said to be interested in modeling while Jillian is looking to launch a music career.

Unlike 'momagers' that have come before her, Danielle isn't worried about her girls getting caught up in the fast lane. She continued, "Why would they want to destroy all that by doing drugs and drinking?"

There's no word when the adoring public can expect Jillian to release her first album or for Christine Staub to model professionally

Danielle's Lease Was Up And She Turned Her Range Rover In

Article from Hollywood Life.

By:Chloe Melas
The rumor mill is swirling with accusations that repo men showed up to Danielle’s house and took away her Range Rover, but her rep tells HollywoodLife.com it’s “entirely” untrue.

Photo:WENN

Danielle Staub might not be as “penniless” as you think. Reports surfaced over the weekend, that the reality TV vixen’s white Range Rover was repossessed Sept. 18, as she begged and pleaded for repo men to not take her car away. But HollywoodLife.com spoke to Danielle’’s rep who tells us that’s not exactly what happened.

“As for false statement out there saying her truck was repossessed this weekend … the lease was up and she turned it in … plain and simple.”

We recently told you the mom of two landed a hosting gig on WealthTV called Social and is trying finalize the details of her new spinoff. We’re guessing we’ll eventually see all of this on camera somewhere and it’ll make sense.

Caroline Rules

Article from GLO.

How Do You Ditch a Toxic Friend?
Caroline Manzo puts the real in The Real Housewives of New Jersey, and her fans relate to the reality star's no-nonsense attitude, focus on family and, above all, abundant common sense. Check back at Glo every Monday as Caroline helps solve your most pressing dilemmas.

Photo: Film Magic
The Dilemma: Ending a friendship is a topic we've touched on here at Glo, but the actual dissolution of said relationship is not just tricky, it can also be downright stressful. Sometimes the person you think is your best friend forever can morph into someone you can't stand in only a matter of years. Or perhaps you recently made a new friend who turned out to be nothing but bad news. While most of us know how to end a romantic relationship, navigating the end of a friendship seems much more difficult.

Caroline's Ruling: I'm sometimes amazed at what we “allow” ourselves to endure. First, you need to define the friendship/relationship. Is it a true friendship or just an acquaintance? True friendships are very rare; there is love, understanding and forgiveness that can withstand the test of time.

A friend is the one you tell your secrets and fears to, the one you can trust to be there for you at your lowest moments without judgment and is there to celebrate the highest of highs with you and for you. An acquaintance is someone who comes into your life but isn't your “go to” person, the one you tell your secrets and fears to. You may go out socially now and then or work alongside them daily, but they are not the ones you call when you need real friendship.

If you find yourself in a position to have to end a relationship with a friend, a true friend, then you have to do one very important thing first: talk to them. Make him/her understand what you're feeling, define the situation clearly and honestly. You owe it both to yourself and your friend. If there is no resolution or understanding, at least you can say you tried your best and were honest and straightforward about your feelings. Your friend heard it from you and no one else.
If, at the end of the conversation, you have no resolution, then at least you can tell them directly that the friendship is over. Never let it be heard through gossip; you both deserve more than that.

An acquaintance is a different story. If you find that your new friend isn't all that they represent themselves to be, just take a casual step back. I firmly believe that when you first meet someone, you are usually talking to his or her “representative.” People are on their best behavior when they first meet. It takes a little time for the real personalities to surface. No big deal, live and learn. I don't believe there's a need for a heart-to-heart unless there is a situation that really bothers you. If it's just some behavioral or personality quirks that turn you off, then step away, don't be so accessible. No need to bring unnecessary drama into your life!

In my life, I have a handful of people whom I call friend. I treasure their friendships and am so grateful for their presence in my life. I have tons of acquaintances; they come and they go. Sometimes for specific reasons, and sometimes for no other reason than life gets in the way of spending time together. I don't dwell on it. Life's too short. Live it with honesty to yourself and those around you. Trust me, you'll sleep much better at night!

Caroline Laid Down An Ultimatum

Post from TMZ.

NJ Housewife’ — I Will Quit If Staub Returns
by tmz
“Real Housewives of New Jersey” star Caroline Manzo claims she delivered a strict ultimatum to the show’s producers — if Danielle Staub returned for another season … she’d quit the show.

Manzo spilled it on camera during a deposition in Staub’s nasty defamation lawsuit against her ex-husband, Kevin Maher.

During the depo, Caroline said, “I did tell Bravo and Sirens that there is no amount of money you could put on the table for me next year.”

She added, “If Danielle Staub is on the show, I am out because my integrity means too much to me … so for Season 3, they know it’s either Danielle or myself.”

New Avenues Have Opened Up For Lori

Article from NJ.com

By:S. James Snyder/For The Star-Ledger
“It definitely felt like an overnight whirlwind, but I signed up for this a long time ago,” says the 37-year-old artist.

“I may not be as young as the Miley Cyruses out there, but I’ve learned how to hone my sound and embrace the business side of music, and how to constantly develop my talent. So this has happened suddenly, but I feel like I’ve been building toward this moment for a long, long time.”

Michaels, who lives in Bergen County, grew up in Fairview.

She trained professionally at Broadway Dance Center in New York and was a soloist in her local church choir. She later graduated from New York University, where her major was pre-law.

She is president of the nonprofit Reach Out, still leading the volunteer community service organization she started in high school more than 20 years ago. Some of her projects include H.E.R.O. (Help Everyone Reach Out — raising awareness and funds for breast cancer), A.N.G.E.L. (Awakening New Generations Enhancing Lives — an initiative promoting mental health awareness and suicide prevention) and Dance for Health (encouraging communities to get involved in positive, healthy activities).

Photo: Noah K. Murray/Star-Ledger
Music remained a hobby for Michaels while she ran Reach Out and taught dance. Then in 2006, she created the hit stage show “Me & the Girls,” a production that filled what she believed was a void in the gay entertainment scene.

“I’m an alt artist, and I wanted to package something a little bit differently than what was out there for the GLBT audience,” she says.

“Typically, you would see mostly lesbian artists who were singer-songwriters taking to the stage with their guitars. There was nothing like a Pussycat Dolls show, which is exactly what ‘Me & the Girls’ set out to be.

“And I’ve been told by many people that what I assembled and orchestrated changed the rules of the game a little bit at pride festivals and clubs for professional GLBT entertainment across the country.”
As Michaels performed the show, she made a name for herself as a kinetic, fiery performer and a singer with a rich, deep, sultry tone.

At a much-publicized 2008 “coming out” party at the House of Blues in Atlantic City (“coming out” referred to the launch of her company, Lori Michaels Productions), “Me & the Girls” achieved a new level of attention.
And not long after the Atlantic City bash, she released her first album, “Living My Life Out Loud,” via Reform Records.
The Staub connection began last summer, Michaels says, when she met the New Jersey “real housewife” backstage at New York City’s Nokia Theatre following a benefit concert.
“I gave her my CD, and then we met very randomly again at a diner in New Jersey, and I was surprised that she remembered me.”

Photo:Film Magic

It was at dinner, Michaels recalls, that she befriended the entire Staub family, meeting Staub’s 12-year-old daughter, Jillian, who also is interested in music. Michaels says she invited the preteen to check out her recording studio and soon after, Danielle approached the musician with the idea of co-producing a song.

A year later, “Real Close” is reality, as is the constant speculation about the nature of their relationship.

“I would like to keep my private life private, and I guess that’s the hardest part to get used to,” Michaels says about the gossip surrounding her and Staub.

“I’m pretty secure in what’s going on between us behind the scenes, but when you look at People magazine and Us Weekly and all the major publications, I think it’s always a fine line between entertainment and reality.
“She’s on an entertainment show, I’m a singer-songwriter pulled into that through another aspect of the TV world. But I don’t think anyone has any right to invade my private life.”

Michaels says she’s more focused on building excitement at clubs and festivals around her hit new single, “Rebound,” a collaboration with disc jockey and producer Giuseppe D. In late July, the song hit the Billboard Hot Dance Club Songs chart at No. 44, and was featured on iTunes top 20 dance tracks.

She says it’s been a wild and unpredictable two years since her coming out party.

“I’ve been taking risks all along, and once again everyone thought I was crazy to go and debut that song (“Real Close”) with such a simple arrangement on national TV. But then it caught fire, and we heard that the following Monday, Ryan Seacrest was promoting the song on his radio show, and we were suddenly on everyone’s radar.

“I very quickly realized that this was my chance to put forth all that I have in the hopes that something sticks with people. And the opportunities that are now out there for me, as a producer, a singer, a songwriter, have already changed my life.”

Kim G. Pays For Herself

Post from Page Six of The NY Post.


Kim Granatelle, a k a "Kim G" of "The Real Houswives of New Jersey," pays good money for her grooming, but she doesn't believe the other Housewives do. While getting her blond locks touched up at the Oscar Blandi salon, Kim was overheard telling colorist Kyle White how some of the other Housewives don't feel they should have to pay for their services, resulting in "bad hair, overdone Botox and square breasts."

According to sources, Kim always pays the full $550 coloring fee, and tips large when she visits the salon.

Tamra Shops At Pink Ice

Article and from Pink Ice Blog.


Photo: Pink Ice
Hey everyone it’s Genna! Many of you know me as a hair/makeup artist, but I also am the manager of one of our Orange County locations – Pinkywear – in Laguna Niguel, CA. Orange County is famous for being featured on shows such as “Laguna Beach”, “The O.C.”, and most popular, “The Real Housewives of Orange County”. It’s funny whenever I go to a different city or state, people immediately ask when they hear I’m from Orange County, “Do you know any of them from the shows?” It’s quite hilarious when I am asked that because behind all the lights and cameras is a real, family city, where real (well, maybe not real when you’re talking cosmetically), down to earth people live. Seeing celebrities in this town is a normal occurrence, and people rarely get starstruck easily. Even when I go to LA where I am bound to see a celebrity sitting at the table next to me, I’m not the type to barge into their leisure time by bombarding them with questions or asking for their signature or a photo. Maybe I’m a little too modest? Or maybe I just feel like they get enough of that already so when their trying to enjoy their time relaxing, I leave it alone.

So you can imagine how I felt when I saw Tamra Barney from “The Real Housewives of Orange County” standing outside my store when I got there yesterday morning.

Even though she was wearing sunglasses, I had a hunch it was her. It’s funny how a TV show can skew your opinion about someone’s character, without even really meeting them or getting the chance to talk to them. But I don’t go off of stereotypes, I’d much rather hear straight from the source.


Right when she came in, she went straight for the sunglasses rack and picked out these super trendy “Tortoise Rhine Sunglasses”:


I then helped Tamra find a brown wool fedora hat which she had said her friend bought from us and she loved, because of it’s short brim. I agreed with her, and jokingly told her that some fedoras look like Peter Pan hats hahaha. Here’s a similar one on our website, “Ribbon Slick Fedora” :


Tamra quietly kept to herself like any other customer would. From the show, you’d think she’s a diva – but I did not get that impression at all. She browsed our shoe section and picked out our newest pair of fall heels that definitely suited her, our Buckle Plat Heels”:


I got her a fitting room and she was so sweet the whole time. I even asked her a few times while she was in the fitting room, “How’s everything going? Can I get you any other sizes in anything?” and she said, “Nope! I’m great!” WOW! Totally not a diva. When she had finished trying everything on, she needed help finding a tank to wear under this awesome studded vest she wanted to buy:


Since the vest is so embellished, we both agreed that something a little more understated and comfortable would be best since she’s a mom on the go. So she decided one two different options that would both work great under the vest: Our “Simply Tank” in white, with a racer back cut is versatile and form fitting:


And our “Basic Cami” in nude:


Tamra also bought this awesome “FDL Tag Necklace” with a fleur-de-lis design on it. It’s so her!


She bought this flowy, floral patterned “Hawaiian Ruffle Dress” for an upcoming talk show appearance:


I love Tamra’s style, it rocks! I couldn’t help but stare at her as I was ringing her up. She probably thought I was weird hahaha. I then did something so totally out of my comfort zone….I asked if she was indeed Tamra Barney from “The Real Housewives of Orange County”, in which she smiled and responded “Yes”. It was so not like me to ask such a favor, but I knew all our fans would be so excited to see a pic of her shopping at our stores, so I asked her if I could take a photo on my phone. She was so cool and allowed me to take a photo “in the new sunglasses I just bought, cuz I look like crap” (which she didn’t – she always looks AMAZING and even more gorgeous in person!), but I agreed. BUT TO MY DISMAY, of course when I need my cameraphone to work, IT DOESN’T WORK! I don’t even know what was wrong with it, but it wouldnt let me take a photo. Soo embarrassing! Tamra was so sweet and offered to take it on her phone, and she would text it to me. I snapped the shot, and gave her my number but she had to get going to a conference call. After she left, I never got the picture message and I was so bummed, but determined to retrieve it from her.

I was on a mission like a crazy stalker fan (though I am NOT!) and posted on her facebook fan page and her website contact form in hopes of obtaining that sacred photo for you all! I thought all hope was lost as I received a “message send failure” email from her website host, and I was among 53,000 facebook fans. But to my surprise, the REAL TAMRA added me on facebook a few hours later, and was so sweet enough to email the photo to me!

She even told me to keep her posted on any new cute stuff we get in stock. WOW! Such an awesome woman, gorgeous inside and out, loves her kids – what more could you ask for? Even despite her nasty and public divorce, she is down to earth, loves her fans, and cares about people. Can’t wait for the new season to air!!!

Cindy Is A Self-Made Business Women

Article from Starcasm.net

By: Asa Hawks
Meet the newest addition to the cast of The Real Housewives of New York City, Cindy Barshop!

Photo: Facebook

Cindy is the Long-Island-born owner and founder of Completely Bare, a very hip and VERY successful medi-spa that first opened its doors on Madison Avenue in 1998. Barshop wanted to provide a hair removal service in a friendlier, more comfortable and less medical environment while at the same time remaining on the cutting edge of hair removal technology. In an online Q&A with readers of BeautyStat.com, Cindy says, “I was probably one of the first to open a medispa on Madison Avenue that specializes in laser hair removal.”

Her concept was almost literally an overnight success as word spread rapidly that if you wanted to be bare “down there” there was only one place to go, and that one place was Completely Bare!

The business-savvy Barshop, a graduate of Farleigh Dickinson University with a Bachelor of Science in marketing, has capitalized on her successful concept and now there is no longer only one place to go, there are five to choose from! Completely Bare opened its second location in 2000 in Scarsdale, New York and followed that up with three more medi-spas on Fifth Avenue, in Barneys and even one in Palm Beach Florida in 2002, 2003 and 2006.

In addition to word of mouth, Completely Bare has received numerous accolades from the media with the first major one being named “Best Hair Removal Spa” by Allure magazine. Cindy recently made numerous headlines in the blogosphere after actress Jennifer Love Hewitt mentioned she was a fan of Vajazzling, a phrase coined by and process pioneered by Barshop and Completely Bare. Here’s a video from BeChicMag.com in which Barshop talks about the phenomenon and even vajazzles the reporter! (Also included is the Jennifer Love Hewitt vajazzle clip from Lopez Tonight that started all the hubbub (pubebub?) in the first place.)



Cindy, along with fellow Completely Bare employees (and hotties!) Jackie and Michelle, also went on the Howard Stern Show to explain hair removal techniques and vajazzling to him and Robin Quivers:



But don’t think for a second that Completely Bare only removes hair and jewels jayjays! They also offer facials, tanning, microdermabrasion, teeth-whitening and skin-tightening treatments. Need proof? Just ask Pauly D and The Situation from Jersey Shore, who stopped in to completely bare for an Access Hollywood segment back in January. Here’s what Cindy had to say about the experience:

Last week, completely bare spa hosted DJ Pauly D and Mike the “Situation” from MTV’s Jersey Shore for an Access Hollywood segment and OMG we had the BEST TIME EVER! These guys were a blast to be around while we pampered them with laser hair removal (because obviously they are hair-free to show off those muscles!), completely bare BBL pulse light facials for sun damage (too many times in the tanning salon beds guys – BOOO!!), and last but not least the “ST” as in our completely bare sculpted spray tan (DEF more safe than those UV rays.

Say what you will about the Jersey Shore boys, but they are sleeeeeek!

The latest big thing for Completely Bare is Vattooing, which I’m sure I don’t need to explain! (The Completely Bare Facebook page spells it “Vatooing” but it just didn’t seem right without that extra “t” in there.) I’m sure there are already Vegas odds on which of the Big Apple housewives will get vajazzled, vattooed, neither or both! (My money is on Mrs. Zarin for both, and from then on all Bravo fans will call it vaJilling. “Did you hear? Kim Zolciak got vaJilled too!”)

I don’t know about you, but I am super excited about having Cindy join the cast! Drama mama trophy wives are fun and you couldn’t have the Real Housewives franchise without them, but I really enjoy watching the self-made business women the most! They always seem to have a down-to-earth practical understanding of things that only makes crazy Kelly Bensimoments that much more entertaining!

And she looks and sounds SO New york – I LOVE IT! When does the season start?!? Is there anyway we could rush it and just boot the DC show, at least until it is expunged of Salahis?

Another thing about Cindy Barshop that should make things interesting on the show is that she is the proud mother of twin daughters! Born just last year, their names are Zoe and Jesse. You can see photos of the lil Barbarshops over on Facebook, but be sure to get your “Awwwwwwwwwwww!” face ready! (No word if their pacifiers are “pajazzled.”)

Danielle's Range Rover Repossessed

Post from Life & Style Magazine.

Looks like Teresa Giudice isn't the only member of the Real Housewives of New Jersey facing some serious monetary problems. Life & Style has exclusively learned that at approximately 11am EST this morning, Danielle Staub's Range Rover was repossessed from the house where she has been staying.

"You should have seen the begging," an eyewitness tells Life & Style. "Danielle pleaded with the repo guys but they had their job to do, and they did it."
It's been a struggle for Danielle ever since the court took control of her final checks earned from Bravo's hit series The Real Housewives of New Jersey. She fell behind on her car payments and has been left penniless.

Real Housewivies Of Miami?

Post from The Miami Herald.


Miami `Real Housewives' spin-off still a go.

Seems that the Godzilla or Friday the 13th of TV, Bravo's wildly popular Real Housewives franchise, may have, indeed, invaded Miami in the guise of the tentatively titled Miami Social Club. Our behind-the-camera mole tells us that an ``official'' Real Housewives promo -- you know, the one where the ladies are either fondling a peach or something to represent their geographical location (in Miami's case, a bag of cocaine or a saline implant wouldn't be such a bad thing since an orange was already taken) -- was recently filmed with all the gals in tow. We contacted our official Bravo mouthpiece who was cagey, telling us that since no air date has been secured, the show sort of remains nameless. But it all sounds like it's pointing to that splashy, trashy, trainwrecky drama-fest many of us, ahem, have grown to love.
