Wow, you guys, this is really serious. On this season of the Real Housewives of New Jersey, we've seen one of Melissa Gorga's
former bridesmaids turn into an ex-friend. After Jan DeDolce accused
Melissa of cheating on her hubby with an ex boyfriend, the two had a
major falling out. Now Jan is making even bigger accusations — this time, against Joe Gorga.
Jan recently spoke to All About the Real Housewives, where she
revealed that Joe once slapped Melissa across the face because he didn't
like her behavior.
"He’s very jealous," she explained, adding, "He
slapped her on the face one time because she was dancing with his one
friend down the Jersey Shore. He got mad at her because she was dancing
with his friend and he thought she was flirting."
Jan actually claims to be a witness to the incident, which supposedly happened in the car after the group left the club.
"She was dancing with him trying to be friendly, and Joe didn’t
like that. So, when they left the club, when we got in the car
together, he smacked her on the face," Jan disclosed.
These are some pretty serious allegations, and we’re not sure Joe has it in him to ever lay a hand on Melissa.

Gretchen Rossi is speaking out about the accusations that the other ladies made on last week's Real Housewives of Orange County Reunion Part 1. However, Tamra Barney has opted for a choice expletive to describe Gretchen's rebuttal. Buckle up!
Gretchen maintains in her Bravo blog
that she successfully won a court case for stalking, harassment, and
emotional distress against the man whom the ladies claim she cheated on
her fiance with. "Tamra says in one breath at the reunion that she still
doesn't know all the details of what really happened between me and
this man, but then five seconds later she is whipping out pictures and
seems to think she knows exactly what happened between us," Gretchen
writes. "She can't even keep her stories straight."
"Tamra
continues to prove she is a liar and even herself admits she lied, as we
see in the preview to Reunion Part 2," she says. "She constantly is out
preaching to the press how she never lies and is just always honest,
yet when I finally confront her about her lies and bring evidence of her
own texts to me, she only then admits, 'Yeah, I lied to you.'"
Gretchen also thinks Tamra is deceiving the public by deleting certain
tweets at times. "I’ve noticed Tamra delete her tweets when she gets
into trouble," Gretchen says. "Seems as if, when she believes she is
going to be held accountable for her lies, she quickly wants to delete
them. If there was any truth to what she said why delete the posts?"
And
Gretchen feels that Tamra had an ulterior motive for including Alexis
on the dress shopping trip. "Tamra told me that she didn't want to
un-invite Alexis because she didn't want to be seen as the bully again,"
Gretchen writes. "Well, once again little Miss 'I am just always honest
and real' wasn't being so real in that scene, now was she? I was the
only one that was honest enough to say it was weird that Alexis was
going because as far as I understood they were not friends."
Whew!
That's a lot of strong words about Tamra. And as you might assume,
Tamra wasn't too pleased about this particular blog of
Gretchen's. "Who's the liar?" Tamra tweeted on August 17 in response to
Gretchen's blog. "Her blog is bulls**t!"

With The Real Housewives of Miami back on the air,
the women are back in the spotlight and RadarOnline.com has exclusively
learned that one of the ladies is not telling the truth about her plastic surgery history.
During Watch What Happens Live on Aug. 12, Lea Black
had an open conversation about getting some plastic surgery done to her
neck — but it turns out that isn’t the only work that Lea has had done.
RadarOnline.com can exclusively report that Lea has undergone the knife for more than just her neck. She has had several face-lifts and has even had Botox and fillers.
“While she’s doing all the facelifts, I do know that she gets tons of Botox and fillers,” a source tells RadarOnline.com.
However, Lea openly lies about the procedures.
“And she says she doesn’t because she has a skincare line,” the source explains.
So what do people who know the Housewife think about Lea’s dishonesty?
“They laugh,” the source says.
It’s clear to them that Lea has had work done to her face.
“She can’t close her eyelids,” the source says. “It’s really weird.”
The source also shares that people who know Lea joke that she needs to have more plastic surgery done on the rest of her body.
“Everyone talks about the dramatic difference and often comment on
why she doesn’t fix her saggy boobs she always has hanging out without a
bra,” the source says.
Lea would not offer comment on this story when RadarOnline.com reached out.

Kim Zolciak may need a new house.
The reality star is expecting twins, according to E! News.
The Real Housewives of Atlanta
star, 35, says she "couldn't be more excited" about adding two more to
her brood with her husband, Atlanta Falcons defensive end Kroy Biermann.
"I
was completely shocked," she said. "I had no idea. It was a natural
conception, but twins do run in the family, so I guess I shouldn't have
been surprised."
The couple have two children together, Kroy Jr.,
2, and Kash Kade, 9 months, and Biermann has officially adopted
Zolciak's daughters Brielle and Ariana from previous relationships. The
reality star first revealed she was pregnant on the finale of her
spin-off show, Don't Be Tardy, and in July she shared a photo of her growing stomach.
"I can't believe I am going to be a mom to six children," she told E! News. "It's going to be very busy but it's a dream come true."

Let’s hope a jury of Teresa Giudice‘s peers trust her more than her own sister-in-law!
The legally-embattled centerpiece of The Real Housewives of New Jersey is suspected by Melissa Gorga of planting tabloid stories that she’d cheated on her husband, in a preview clip of this week’s edition of the Bravo hit.
In the video, Melissa whines to Teresa about a tabloid story implicating her of two-timing Joe Gorga, who is also Teresa’s brother.
“I’m excited about having a book but I just think this is really odd …
I announce I have this book coming out, all about my marriage, and all
of a sudden these rumors come out,” Melissa told Teresa in a pow-wow,
with a hint of accusation. “It just seems so contrived and so calculated.
“I have a happy marriage to your brother, you know we’ve never had any rumors or any of this kind of bull***t, [so] this accusation is huge.”
Teresa advised her, “Just ignore it, because I think if you ignore it, it goes away.”
Admitting she’s unsure whether Teresa had anything to do with it, Gorga said she doesn’t trust people who have burned her in the past.
“It’s really frustrating
to me,” she said. “I announce I’m writing this book about my marriage
and all of a sudden, I’m a cheater. It just is what it is.”

With friends like these, who needs enemies? One episode into the third season of The Real Housewives of Miami, Joanna Krupa, Lea Black, Adriana De Moura, Alexia Echeverria, and Lisa Hochstein
are already at one another's throats. And it looks like things may get
worse before they get better. Dishing about the upcoming season in a new
interview with Us Weekly, Krupa and Black tease that there's plenty more drama to come on the Bravo reality series.
"I think the dynamic that's gonna change from last season to this
season is [that] a lot of friendships fall apart that you thought were
strong, like Lea's and Adriana's," Krupa says. "Lisa and I got into it
as well. So [there are] a lot of changes in friendships. A lot of lies
and betrayals."
Black, who's on the outs with De Moura, says she'd rather not involve
herself in the drama -- but she'll defend herself to the death once
she's dragged into it. "What I will tell you is that anytime those girls
lie about something about me, I'm gonna come back at them with the
truth," she tells Us.
"So they just keep bringing their lies, and I'm just gonna keep telling
the truth. Because by telling the truth, I'm exposing things about you
you don't want exposed," she explains. "I'm not bringing it up, but if
you bring it up, don't expect me not to tell the truth about it, and if
you get exposed in the process, that's not my problem, because you
started it with me."
"I live my life, like, you know what, I'm going to be as nice to you
as you will let me be," she continues. "I'll be as good of a friend to
you as you will let me be. But if you're two-faced or backstabbing or
lying about me, I'm gonna put it all there."

In the Real Housewives of Orange County Season 8 reunion, Lydia McLaughlin and Heather Dubrow got into it over Heather’s spread for Beverly Hills Lifestyle magazine.
Heather felt insulted that Lydia laughed off her request to be featured
on the cover, adding that it was strange that Lydia gave herself a 10-page spread.
In
her Bravo blog following the episode, Lydia defended her decision to be
featured in the mag. “I have worked hard for our magazine for over five
years and I've never given myself any type of promotion in it. However,
with RHOC I felt the timing was right and the natural fit for my first interview would be my own magazine.”
Lydia goes on to say that several other ladies have appeared in the magazine, including Beverly Hills
stars Lisa Vanderpump, Yolanda Foster, and Brandi Glanville. While Lisa
is the only Housewife to have been featured on the cover, Lydia
explains that “with the success of Lisa's empire and her years of contributing to our publication, she was
right for the cover... not to mention, Beverly Hills had just given her
the key to the city.”

Teresa and Joe Giudice looked somber during a court appearance in New Jersey on Wednesday, Aug. 14. The Real Housewives of New Jersey star and her husband pleaded not guilty to federal fraud charges during their afternoon trial.
"They vehemently deny their guilt," Joe Giudice's lawyer, Miles Feinstein, addressed the courtroom, according to the New York Daily News. "There's an assumption of innocence and they vehemently assert their innocence."
The Giudices last appeared in federal court on Tuesday, July 30, where they were hit with a 39-count indictment
that included conspiring to commit mail and wire fraud, bank fraud and
bankruptcy fraud, in addition to making false statements on loan
applications. If convicted, the couple could face more than 50 years in
prison.
Additionally, Joe, 43, could be deported to Italy if found guilty on any of the federal or state charges.
News of the Towaco, N.J. residents' financial troubles first broke on
Monday, July 29. The Giudices were each released on $500,000 unsecured
bail bonds.
"The indictment returned today alleges the Giudices lied to the
bankruptcy court, to the IRS and to a number of banks," prosecutor Paul
J. Fishman said in a statement at the time. "Everyone has an obligation
to tell the truth when dealing with the courts, paying their taxes and
applying for loans or mortgages. That's reality."
The couple has been trying to keep things positive for the sake of their four daughters -- Gia, 12, Gabriella, 10, Milania, 7, and Audriana, 3 --since their initial court date. On Sunday, Aug. 11, the family of six had a relaxing beach day at the Jersey Shore.
"Daddy with his four angels," Teresa, 41, captioned one snap
of Joe and the girls on a beach towel under the shade of an umbrella,
tweeting another photo of the family one day later with the caption
"memories at the jersey shore."
The Real Housewives star has also been determined to stay on
track with her professional life despite her family's personal
troubles. According to her blog, the reality star will make a scheduled
appearance on Wednesday evening for her new book, Fabulicious: On the Grill.
The couple's next hearing will be on Oct. 3, with their trial set for Oct. 8.

“Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” co-star Lisa Vanderpump and her
husband were among those named today in a $4 million lawsuit concerning a
dispute over lease space for a gay-oriented, sports-themed restaurant
and nightclub in West Hollywood.
Ryan Carrillo and Andrew Gruver filed the suit in Los Angeles
Superior Court against Vanderpump, her spouse, Ken Todd, and businessmen
Freddy Braidy, Edward Frumkes and Elie Samaha. The allegations include
breach of contract, intentional interference with prospective economic
relations and deceit/misrepresentation.
Representatives for the defendants could not be immediately reached.
According to the complaint, Samaha, a film producer and restaurant
owner, liked the plaintiffs’ idea for a sports-themed establishment they
dubbed Bar Varsity and offered in 2009 to assist them in leasing space
at a discount rate at the Java Detour location at 8948 Santa Monica
Blvd.
Samaha offered to invest $500,000 in the project in exchange for
Carrillo and Gruver developing the Bar Varsity idea with their `”sweat
equity,” according to the complaint.
Carrillo and Gruver, relying on Samaha’s alleged promises, quit their
jobs as general manager and promotions manager, respectively, at the
Abbey restaurant in West Hollywood, the suit states.
Carrillo and Gruver say they met with architects and spent hundreds
of hours guiding the project through the permitting process and meeting
all other requirements placed upon them by the city of West Hollywood.
But Samaha later became cool to the project, refused to invest the
promised $500,000 and became evasive, their suit alleges.
In February, Gruver and Carrillo learned that the Java Detour
location had a sign on it, P.U.M.P Lounge, and that it had been leased
to Vanderpump and Todd, according to the suit.
