Caroline Manzo, Teresa Giudice And Jacqueline Laurita Asked To Return To 'Real Housewives of N.J.'

NYDailyNews.com:

The "Real Housewives of New Jersey" will be really different next season.

Following Internet reports that Danielle Staub, the former pole-dancing drama-mama, was fired from the Bravo reality series, insiders tell us that, as it stands, only three cast members have a future with the show.
Although Bravo has yet to make it official, a source close to the cable network says there will be a third season of "The Real Housewives of New Jersey." Staub will not be a part of it, however, although the source tells us she wasn't exactly "fired." She just wasn't asked back.

We're told that the week after the "Jersey" girls wrapped their reunion show at the Borgata Hotel in Atlantic City this month, housewives Caroline Manzo, Teresa Giudice and Jacqueline Laurita all received letters from Bravo asking them to return for a third season. According to our source, the cable network doesn't typically inform cast members they've been renewed in this fashion. For instance, "The Real Housewives of New York" have yet to hear news of next season.

Staub did not receive a letter and, according to a friend, was not even aware that Manzo, Giudice and Laurita had. That source also tells us that, contrary to accounts on the Web, Staub was unaware she was off the show until she read it online on Monday, when reports first surfaced.

Interesting to say the least. While I'm sure that most RHONJ viewers are happy to know that Danielle won't be coming back, the fact that Bravo has already invited the other women back is pretty crude in that it points to signs that either the other women or Bravo execs (perhaps both?) must've really had it up to here with Danielle's antics (and who wouldn't?). As long as Kim G. doesn't fill either of the other slots I'm alright with whoever they pick.
