Can't get enough of the Real Housewives of New Jersey? Neither can anyone else -- and apparently Bravo is well aware of it. They are already filming season 4!
This is most likely because of the high ratings for the show, and these days it is rare that Bravo wait an entire year to begin airing a new season of such a successful show.
And to top it all off, Bravo is reportedly adding another housewife to the cast. So if that is true, a 6th member is already filming with the current cast.
I was pretty content with the women they have now, what do you all think?
The premiere of Real Housewives of New Jersey was very emotional for the cast, as the Gorgas and Giudices got carried away in a sibling battle. The christening of little Joey Gorga erupted into a heated argument that brought tears to Joe Gorga’s eyes as he watched at the premiere party. Caroline Manzo shared her reaction to the "explosive situation" with In Touch: “I was speechless, just speechless. And when I watched it a second time, it made me cry.”
Caroline sat holding hands with the devastated Joe as they watched the unfortunate fight and offered up her words of wisdom, “Joe, it happened, look at it this way, it can’t get worse than this. Now you just have to accept it and move on."
For Caroline, family comes first. “I have 11 brothers and sisters and we fight like crazy, but we always make up" she said. "Every family fights, but at the end of the day we're family, we love each other and that's all that matters.” She seemed confident that the Gorgas and the Giudices will make up and believes the argument got so passionate because there was so much love and hurt between the siblings.
“There was so much pent-up emotion over the years, and unfortunately it got caught on television,” Caroline told In Touch. “But they love each other, and I know they'll work it out.”
When Bravo's Real Housewives of New Jersey returned on May 16, stay-at-home mom Teresa Giudice was forced to step in as the breadwinner when financial troubles hit. But that's not all that's changed! Behind the scenes, "Teresa has taken the place of fired villain Danielle Staub," an insider reveals to Life & Style. In fact, the insider says Teresa's acting like such a diva that the entire cast has turned against her -- even former best friends Caroline Manzo and Jacqueline Laurita.
After she and husband Joe filed for bankruptcy, Teresa formed a plan to become the most valuable star on Housewives. "She says Jacqueline's boring and Caroline's old," another insider tells Life & Style. "She thinks they can't do the show without her."
Stirring the pot even more, in the foreword of Teresa's second book Fabulicious!, she takes a public dig at Caroline, criticizing her cooking and the fact that she does her grown sons' laundry. "On this book tour, Teresa plans to take the feud further, attacking Caroline while she's not there to defend herself," says the second insider. The insider says Caroline and Jacqueline feel she's become so intolerable, "they don't know how much more they can take. This isn't the woman Teresa used to be."
Caroline Manzo, Jacqueline Laurita, Melissa Gorga, Kathy Wakile, and Albie Manzo joined Simon van Kempen to kick off the new season of Real Housewives of New Jersey with a premiere party at the Brownstone.

When the third season of Bravo's reality smash resumes May 16, Teresa Giudice, Caroline Manzo and Jacqueline Laurita will be joined by two new housewives, both members of the Giudice family.
Mom of two teenagers, Kathy Wakile, Giudice's first cousin, will enter the table-flipping fray along with Giudice's sister-in-law, Melissa Gorga. According to BravoTV.com, Gorga, a mom of three, is a "sassy Italian who is known for her witty, fun, and loving personality," while Wakile "loves to party and have a good time."
As the above clip shows, Wikile and Gorga appear to fit in just fine with the New Jersey gals -- especially during a wild trip to the Dominican Republic.
During a trip to the beach, the women get into a nasty war of words with Giudice, who was also reportedly involved in a massive bar brawl during the family's stay.
How does Giudice justify her actions? "You want to f--k with me? I'll f--k right back, bitch!" she snaps.

"I never thought in a million years I'd be doing something like this," said Real Housewives of New Jersey castmember Caroline Manzo to WWD, in reference to her forthcoming line of handbags.
There's something refreshing about her unabashed admission that the venture into fashion was not a given. Manzo runs a catering business with her husband, but has apparently learned the value of attaching her name to a product, any product.
The pieces are being produced in conjunction with Kristino handbags, consisting of 18 styles between $45-$450. Hobos, wristlets and weekenders come in neutrals and skin prints, withs pops of purple, chunky hardware and tassels rounding out the look.
Regardless of aesthetics, we imagine a season-long showcase of her wares on her own arm will do wonders for numbers.

The husband of one of the one of the stars of the Real Housewives of New Jersey reality show has decided not to fight Gov. Chris Christie.
Albert Manzo resigned from the North Jersey District Water Supply Commission Monday, saying he didn't want to become a distraction.
The governor had suspended Manzo and another board member and threatened to file ethics charges unless they stepped down. The jobs pay $7,500 and include health benefits.
Manzo drew Christie's wrath for maintaining addresses at the Paterson restaurant that he co-owns and the Franklin Lakes mansion featured on the reality show.
A Christie spokesman told The Record newspaper the resignations are part of what's needed to "finally make these powerful, ungoverned authorities accountable to their ratepayers."
Teresa Guidice, Caroline Manzo, Jacqueline Laurita, and Ashley Holmes of the Real Housewives of New Jersey visited Kiss & Fly on March 5, 2011 in New York City.

Multiple cast members on the Real Housewives of New Jersey were involved in a bar fight at a Hard Rock Hotel in the Dominican Republic this week ... TMZ has learned.
Sources involved in the situation tell us ... a couple of castmembers were hanging out at a bar inside the Hard Rock around 1:00 AM Wednesday morning when they got into a heated argument with a male patron.
We're told someone involved in the argument grabbed a drinking glass and smashed it over the man's head ... and the guy was hurt so badly, he needed immediate medical attention.
So far, it's unclear which cast members were involved in the fight -- but we're told Teresa Giudice and Caroline Manzo had been spotted at the Hard Rock that night.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey cast must really dislike their former co-star Danielle Staub. When it was announced in September that Danielle would not be returning to the franchise for its third season, there were suggestions that other stars would not come back if Danielle did. Now, both N.J. housewife Caroline Manzo and Housewives honcho Andy Cohen say that it’s a good thing that she’s gone.
“Without Danielle, it’ll be great!’ Andy tells Hollywood Life exclusively.
“People worry that the show won’t be what it was. I’m glad it’s not what it was,” Caroline agrees. “Now, it’s drama that’s memorable.”
Expect some new people to be joining the cast this season. “There’s a couple of new faces,” Caroline states. “It’s a very different dynamic this year. It’s a lot of fun.”
“Jersey is filming right now,” Andy said at the Diane von Furstenberg Fall 2011 New York Fashion Week show. “It’s going really well.”
