RadarOnline.com:
After finally moving out of the home she shares with her estranged husband, The Real Housewives of New Jersey star Dina Manzo is being encouraged by friends to start looking for a new man, RadarOnline.com has learned.
Although she’s still legally married, the reality star separated from Tommy Manzo nearly a year ago, and pals are eager to set her up!
“Next season you need to come on [Millionaire Matchmaker.] You know I
will spoil you rotten Jersey/LA style,” Bravo star Patti Stanger
tweeted to Dina on Jan. 2.
Stanger’s kind gesture quickly turned a bit awkward though when she tweeted that Dina’s estranged sister Caroline Manzo could help recruit the suitors. (As Real Housewives fans know, Caroline implied she and her sister have kissed – but certainly haven’t made up.)
Taking the high road, Dina tweeted back about her reluctance to come on the Bravo matchmaking show.
“Need to Rally some Kings! It’s gonna take a lot for me go down the love road again,” Dina tweeted.
“Some day my prince…ehem King will come,” she added.
As Radar previously reported,
Dina signed on for the sixth season of RHONJ, after a four-year hiatus,
which has led some to believe she’s using her new gig to gain financial
freedom from her estranged husband.
“Here’s the thing, she wants to get a divorce from Tommy. They have a
pre-nup that’s the size of a frigging phone book. If she divorces, she
isn’t getting anything. She walks away with no house, nothing – so it’s
either sign back with Bravo or you stay with the devil,” a source told
Radar.
Dina tied the knot with the Brownstone co-owner in 2005 in front of
VH1 cameras for the reality show, My Big Fat Fabulous Wedding.
But, the pair’s romance has been anything but a fairytale, with a source telling Radar that he cheated on her. “She’s caught him a number of times,” the source said.

At first glance, Bethenny Frankel‘s new boyfriend Michael A. Cerussi III seems like a perfect match: He’s hunky, nine years younger than her and a successful financial advisor from a wealthy family.
But RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned that Cerussi was kicked
out of college after a schoolmate accused him and his fraternity brother
of raping her during an incident in 2000. He vehemently disputed the
allegations and filed a lawsuit against the school and his accuser in a
bid to maintain his innocence and be re-instated in school.
According to court documents obtained by Radar, Cerussi was expelled
from Union College — a small, independent liberal arts college in
Schenectady, N.Y. — during his senior year, after a college disciplinary
board found he raped a Union student. (Radar has chosen not to name the
woman. Cerussi reportedly was not criminally charged in the incident.)
Cerussi and a fraternity brother ”met [alleged victim's name
redacted] at a bar near UC late Friday night, November 11, 2000,” the
document reads. “[The woman] accompanied them back to their fraternity
house and had sexual intercourse with both men.”
She and Cerussi “talked afterwards, he drove her home, and she kissed
him goodnight,” the document states. “[The woman] then joked with her
roommate… about hang sex with both men and did not state that she had
been raped.”
But she soon changed her story, it’s claimed. At brunch the next day,
the alleged victim allegedly told a friend about her night, “but did
not claim that she had been raped.
But shortly thereafter, when some of [Cerussi's] fraternity brothers
laughed as they passed her table, [the woman] assumed they had been told
[about her threesome].”
Later that night, when yet another member of the fraternity called
her, the document notes, the woman “inferred from the conversation that
[name redacted] knew she had had sex with [Cerussi] and [name
redacted].”
“Sometime later [that night], [the woman] concluded that she had been
raped,” according to the document, and she went to Ellis Hospital,
where Nurse Carol Fritz Braungart ”examined [the woman] and
observed redness at the vaginal base, but [she] did not allow Braungart
to examine her internally, take pictures, or complete a full rape
collection kit.”
The next day, the alleged victim told Dean of Students Kathleen Schurick that she had been raped, the document states. Cerussi and his pal were then suspended.
After a thorough investigation by the school, “Schurick found
[Cerussi] and [name redacted] guilty,” according to the documents and
they were informed of their expulsion on December 12.
Cerussi appealed, the documents reveal — and he was granted another
hearing. But there, according to the documents, the expulsion was
upheld.
A third appeal in the college disciplinary system ended with the same result.
Cerussi did not respond to multiple requests for comment, although he
told another media outlet on Friday: ”Claims were made to the school,
which were false and unfounded and ultimately withdrawn.”
Talk show host Frankel was spotted frolicking with Cerussi in Miami over the New Year’s holiday; she’s still technically married to her ex, Jason Hoppy, as the pair continue through a dirty divorce and custody battle over their daughter, Bryn.

Double the fun! Bravo star Kim Zolciak debuts her 1-month-old twins, Kaia Rose and Kane Ren, ONLY in the new issue of Life & Style, on newsstands now.
The mother of six opens up to Life & Style about her and husband Kroy Biermann’s twin bundles of joy!
“It wasn’t the same as having one baby — my nerves were shot,” Kim confides to Life & Style. “Kaia was only 6 pounds and I’m used to 8-pound babies. And Kane was actually delivered breech, facing the wrong way!”
And just one month later, their personalities are already coming out.
“Kaia is a diva, honey! She’s much more demanding. She loves to be
snuggled all the time,” Kim tells the mag. “And Kane is the easiest baby
ever. Just feed him and change him and he’s happy. Their personalities
are definitely very different.”
With
six children, Kim and Kroy’s lives are definitely chaotic, but the
happy parents love every minute of it! Now, the adorable duo Kaia and
Kane have settled in with older siblings Brielle, 16, Ariana, 12, KJ, 2,
and Kash, 17 months.
“It’s an absolute trip having one baby in your arm — if not two —
while Brielle wants food, Kash wants to be held and KJ’s peeing all over
the toilet. It’s just hectic, but I wouldn’t change it for anything.
It’s a trip!
Kim
says the Biermann Bunch is finally complete. “This is it — no more
kids!” exclaims Kim. “I finally feel like my family is 100 percent
complete.”

Busted again! This is becoming a bad habit for Joe Giuidce, who was spotted out to dinner again with a woman who is not his wife Teresa Giudice, and RadarOnline.com has the exclusive photo proof of their cozy meal.
The Real Housewives of New Jersey
star was caught having dinner with an unidentified brunette woman at La
Havana 59 restaurant in Moonachie, New Jersey, a 30-minute drive from
the home he shares with his reality show wife and their four daughters.
An eyewitness spotted the legally challenged star
and the woman walking into the restaurant at 7:30pm on Friday, December
27 and said they stayed at the restaurant until past 9pm.
“Joe sat across from the woman, who was very attractive, probably in
her 30s, had long brown hair and was dressed very nicely in knee-high
stiletto boots and she was carrying what looked like an expensive
purse,” a diner at the restaurant told Radar.
“After people started noticing him and taking pictures he actually
moved to sit next to her so that his back was to most of the
restaurant.”
The diner said that it seemed like it was more than just a dinner with a friend or a business meeting.
“They didn’t have any papers on the table, they didn’t have a
briefcase or anything and they were just laughing with each other the
whole time.”
Juicy Joe was friendly with his dinner date, “leaning in to talk with her,” throughout the meal.
Just two nights after the secret dinner, Joe was by his wife’s side
while she signed bottles of her signature drink Fabellini in Elizabeth,
NJ.
This is the third time Teresa’s hubby has been caught by Radar out with another woman. In late November Joe was spotted having lunch with a brunette woman, in Secaucus, NJ and in 2011 he was spotted at a TGIFriday’s with a woman who was not his wife.

Things did not go well during Lisa Vanderpump's dinner party on this week's episode of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Now, she is explaining that she does not approve of how both Brandi Glanville and Joyce Giraud behaved.
"I have defended Brandi's actions when sometimes they have been
indefensible," Lisa writes in her Bravo blog. "I have no earthly idea
why she felt it necessary to throw the first punch. My reaction showed
that clearly. Remarking that their mutual friends didn't speak well of
Joyce was an instigative, inflammatory remark that I knew would create
further turmoil in these already convoluted relationships."
That said, Lisa wishes Joyce had handled Brandi's comments
differently. "Joyce reacted vehemently, and, although I understood her
reaction, I still hoped that she would take the high road," Lisa says.
"Not so. It was as if she had reached her limit, so she retaliated. I
understood her position, but when name tags like "racist" start being
bandied around, there will be no easy resolution."
"I don't have delicate ears, however with some of the language
that spewed from Brandi's mouth... Well, there has to be a line
somewhere, some boundaries of respect between us, otherwise it becomes
intolerable to be around," Lisa adds. "Just an endless litany of
expletives!"

Is The Real Housewives of New York on
the Bravo chopping block? A new report claims that the reality show,
which has gone through several major cast shake-ups, is in danger of
being axed by the network because of declining ratings.
The current Housewives are Ramona Singer, Sonja Morgan, LuAnn de Lesseps, Carole Radziwill, Aviva Drescher, and Heather Thomson.
Despite major cast changes and new alliances, the group has failed to
click with viewers. The show hasn't been on the air since fall 2012,
making it the longest break between seasons in the history of the
Housewives franchise.
The
New York series was the second in Bravo's mega-popular franchise, after
the original in Orange County. Now, there are editions in Beverly
Hills, New Jersey, Atlanta, and Miami as well. So far, the only one to
be cancelled was The Real Housewives of DC, which was canned after just
one season because of low ratings and negative pushback about "White
House Party Crasher" couple Tarek and Michaele Salahi.
Several popular cast members have left RHONY, most noticeably Bethenny Frankel, who became the first Housewife to get her own spinoff show (Bethenny Ever After).
She remains one of the most successful ex-Housewives ever thanks to her
Skinnygirl cocktail empire and her new talk show. But many other former
cast members have tried and failed to stay in the spotlight.
A source tells Naughty But Nice Rob
that "insiders are worried" about RHONY's falling ratings. "If this
season does not do well in the ratings, I’m not sure if they will recast
it or just face the fact that it is over."

NJ.com:
"Real Housewives of New Jersey" producers scrambled to start taping the sixth season this year in hopes of capturing how star Teresa Giudice and husband Joe fare during their federal trial, but a source tells PerezHilton.com that because the trial was delayed from February to April, they will come up short.
"Real Housewives" typically premieres in the late spring.
"They won't get anything this season," the insider says. "Now all
they’ll get is Teresa talking about how she’s just trying to stay
positive for her family." Again.
A spokesman for the U.S. Attorney's Office tells The Star-Ledger that
in any case, no cameras will be allowed in the courtroom for the
couple's trial on 41 counts of bank and bankrutpcy fraud. And it's not as if Giudice has ever been willing to talk about her legal troubles while taping — remember her outrage when Jacqueline Laurita mentioned the magazine covers in which Giudice herself talked about her husband's legal issues?
So what will be seeing when season six airs? The "Real Housewives"
gossip blogs say Giudice has mended fences with her sister-in-law Melissa Gorga, and they may be forming a united front against the three new castmates, sisters Teresa and Nicole Napolitano and Amber Marchese, all of Colts Neck.
According to RadarOnline.com, sources say the Napolitano sisters are already ready to quit, and Marchese posted this on Facebook following
a taping session in Atlantic City over the weekend: "Not being in my
own element makes for one unhappy women [sic]. Just shake it off and go.
Helps remind me just how wonderful my family is to me. They don’t hurt
me and they never make me cry. Just pure happiness, understanding, and
love.”

Oh snap, ya'll! NeNe Leakes is not happy about the way things went down on this week's episode of The Real Housewives of Atlanta and she's taking out on everybody via her Bravo blog.
Not only did she insinuate that Phaedra Parks' sons could end up in jail because "the apple doesn't fall far from the tree," she also took a stab at Kenya Moore and Porsha Stewart, calling their heart-to-heart fake and digging at the fact that neither of them have children of their own.
The drama all started when NeNe voiced her opinion that 13-year-olds are too young to date, sending Cynthia Bailey running
out of the room in a flood of tears. After everyone clearly sided with
Cynthia on this one, NeNe went on a rampage in her blog, defending her
opinions and throwing shade in every direction.
During the episode, Kenya and Porsha ended up bonding over the
fact that they both want to be mothers so badly. They even shared a
teary hug, despite their rocky history. But, NeNe wasn't buying the warm
and fuzzy moment one bit, and she didn't think either Kenya or Porsha
had any business participating in a conversation about being a parent.
"Kenya and Porsha have
no clue about parenting, so let's just let them stay in their room and
do their fake hug and cry. I love it! Moving on!" NeNe wrote as her
first sentence in her weekly blog.

Camille Grammer‘s ex-boyfriend Dimitri Charalambopoulos has denied the reality star’s accusations he beat her just days after from her surgery for endometrial cancer.
According to an online report, Charalambopoulos, a Texas-based bankruptcy attorney, said that the lithe reality star attacked him after he tended to a late night phone call from a male pal, which she mistook for him cheating on her with a woman.
Charalambopoulos, 36, said Grammer, 45, then destroyed his phone and
tried to attack him, at which point he used his hands to ward off hers.
After the argument, Charalambopoulos said he told Grammer, “I now knew
why Kelsey left her, because she was a ‘fame wh*re’ that only cared about attention and money.”
As we previously reported, Grammer has been granted TWO restraining orders from the Greek lawyer, stemming from the Oct. 16 fight at Houston’s ZaZa hotel.

Lisa Vanderpump's attempt to mend fences between Brandi Glanville and
Joyce Giraud with a reconciliatory dinner at Sur failed miserably on
Monday's The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, with the two nearly breaking bones instead of bread.
"There's this whole one-up thing … everything's a competition,"
Glanville said before the dinner. "She has to be the center of
attention. It's exhausting."
Glanville, 40, attempted to reach out to Giraud, 38, by
discussing common friends, but the former beauty queen wasn't accepting
her friendship bouquet.
"We have two mutual friends. They don't speak highly of you,"
said an irked Glanville, words that prompted a fight so loud that
Vanderpump's waitstaff couldn't help but watch.
"You're a racist, a bully," responded Giraud, bringing up the inappropriate comments Glanville made on the show a few weeks ago. "That's disgusting to me."
"Talk to my ex-boyfriend," Glanville responded. "He was black."
"I tried to be a lady, but she's made it impossible," said Giraud, which forced hostess Vanderpump to plead, "Stop it! Stop!"
But it didn't, as Giraud's husband, producer Michael Ohoven, got involved in the fray to defend his wife.
"You live on planet trash," he said to Glanville.
"Bring it, b––," Glanville said to Ohoven. "Go back to wherever the f–– you're from."
Perhaps the two need to be taken to Carlton Gebbia's new "burlesque room" for some discipline.
"When I first met [my husband], it was handcuffs, cat-of-nine-tails," said Gebbia, who referenced her Fifty Shades of Grey playroom last week. "I want to have a room where I can be who I was when David first met me."
Gebbia,
40, showed off her emerging, red-hot playroom, in which she was having
her contractor install a stripper pole and build a stage "long enough …
if I have a friend to … ".
