The Real Housewives of New Jersey returns on June 2, and while Teresa Giudice decides to make amends with brother Joe Gorga, their reunion appears to be short-lived when Melissa Gorga is accused of cheating on her husband (hitting a bit close to home for Teresa?).

‘RHONJ’ Season 5 Trailer

Due to the accusation, alliances shift. ”Teresa said you don’t know the real Melissa,” Caroline Manzo says. “You know what? Maybe I don’t.”

At one point during the season, highlighted in the new teaser trailer, Melissa gets down on her knees and begs Teresa to “stop hurting” her family by spreading rumor’s about her past.

Sadly, Teresa and Joe’s father’s health is also declining. ”You don’t want your father to die and not see his kids together,” Caroline tells Teresa.

The most dramatic scene, likely to air as the season finale, involves Joe Gorga and Teresa’s husband Joe Giudice engaging in a violent brawl at a family event. Shockingly, Melissa gets caught in the middle — literally.

Watch the explosive trailer below! What do YOU think, HollywoodLifers? Will season five be the most dramatic yet?

If the cameras are still filming for season five of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, we’re guaranteed loads of drama when the show premieres on June 5! Joe Giudice was recently photographed having an intimate dinner with a mystery brunette on April 22! What will wife Teresa Giudice think?

Teresa Giudice’s Husband Cheating?

The woman in question was “in her late 20s or early 30s,” an eyewitness tells Star magazine — they published the photo. “She was wearing a leather jacket and a short, very tight skirt. They sat in a booth in a semi-secluded corner of the restaurant, and they looked very flirty, leaning into each other to talk and laugh. At one point, Joe playfully touched her thigh under the table. And when the bill came, he paid in cash.”

“Teresa has always stood by Joe, but you’d have to wonder just how much she’s willing to put up with. Looking the other way to keep your family together for the sake of your four children is one thing. But would anyone really be surprised if she finally reached her breaking point?” an insider tells Star.

The magazine suggests that the mystery brunette may be Joe’s close friend Davana Medina, a gorgeous fitness model who he was spotted having midnight drinks with in Sept. 2011. Joe has vehemently denied he’s cheated on Teresa.

We are skeptical, though, to believe that Joe, 43, would stray from the beautiful Teresa, 40.

HollywoodLife.com reached out to Teresa for comment.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey is finishing up filming on the upcoming fifth season, and it looks like we’re guaranteed plenty of drama! Teresa Giudice and Melissa Gorga are once again at war. After a brief stalemate, Teresa is out for blood, but her plan to take down Melissa backfired when she confronted her publicly over a “hurtful lie.”

Teresa Giudice Wants To Take Down Melissa Gorga

Teresa, 40 and Melissa, 34, have been enemies for seasons, and things are about to get even uglier! At the launch of a friend’s salon, their flight got heated.

“Teresa’s been relentlessly plotting to paint Melissa as a bad wife and a gold digger,” says a source to Life&Style. “At the salon it blew up in her face.”

Melissa has been angry at Teresa ever since she claimed that Melissa cheated in her husband Joe with her ex Brian “Bulldog” Bowen and this was the source of their argument.

“It was the most hurtful lie I’ve ever heard in my life,” said Melissa. There will be “a lot of tears this season.”

“All Melissa’s ever wanted is for Melissa’s ever wanted is for Teresa to admit what she’s done,” says the source. “Their daughters, Antonia and Milania, are extremely close — they’re the ones who suffer the most if the two families don’t get alone.”

The ladies should put aside her differences for their families. This season sure sounds like it is going to be explosive!

What do YOU think HollywoodLifers? Should Teresa leave Melissa alone?

The Real Housewives of New Jersey is finishing up filming on the upcoming fifth season, and it looks like we’re guaranteed plenty of drama! On March 30, Joe Gorga and Christopher Laurita allegedly became involved in a violent brawl with a NJ resident named Johnny Karagiorgis, after he allegedly made fun Christopher’s autistic son. How horrible! Johnny has since filed a citizen’s complaint saying that he was assaulted. Yikes!

Joe Gorga & Christopher Laurita Involved In Violent Brawl

Joe, Christopher and 100 other people were in attendance at Kim DePaola‘s opening of her new store Posche 2 in Ridgewood, including the show’s cast and crew, when all chaos broke loose.

“It was a huge brawl. Three of Kim D’s clothes racks were destroyed and three of our custom sinks were broken,” guest Jennifer Dunn told Patch on April 3. “There was blood on the walls.”

The property’s damage is estimated at $15,000, and huge damage was done to the clothes.

Christopher Laurita Defends His Son

Johnny allegedly made fun of Christopher’s son who is autistic, and he, Joe and Albie Manzo (Caroline Manzo’s son) allegedly started the brawl with Johnny. A sink was thrown, and Johnny has since filed the complaint.

“There was a report of a dispute that led to an assault,” Ridgewood Police Chief John Ward said. “We cannot confirm or deny it involved any cast members.”

This is so awful! Making fun of an autistic child is inexcusable, but is a brawl really necessary?

What do YOU think, HollywoodLifers? Do YOU think Joe and Christopher should have fought with Johnny? Or were they just defending Christopher’s son? And should this air on season five of RHONJ? This could serve as an explosive season finale!

3. ‘RHONJ’ Star Teresa Giudice Ready For 5th Baby Using Surrogate

After months of waiting, Bravo confirms that The Real Housewives of New Jersey will return later this spring. And better yet, the entire cast – Teresa Giudice, Melissa Gorga, Jacqueline Laurita, Caroline Manzo, and Kathy Wakile — will return.

‘Real Housewives Of New Jersey’ Season 5 Premiere Date

The series will return on Sunday, June 5, at 8 PM ET!

Contrary to recent reports, there are no new housewives officially joining the cast. But we’re sure that friends of the housewives will be making regular appearances. We’re hoping that we’ll get a cameo or two by Danielle Staub!

Bravo released a statement saying:

“Season 5 welcomes back the entire cast as Teresa Giudice, Melissa Gorga, Jacqueline Laurita, Caroline Manzo, and Kathy Wakile pick up right where last season’s contentious reunion left off. This season they are on a mission for redemption, scrambling to pick up the pieces of their fractured relationships. The women also find themselves shifting through rubble after Hurricane Sandy leaves much of the Jersey Shore in ruins, including some of their homes. A sense of communal rebuilding encourages Teresa to rise above the past drama with her brother and sister-in-law, Melissa, and mend her family for good. Jacqueline struggles to cope with her son’s autism diagnosis while tensions from her fallout with Teresa push her towards her breaking point. As Caroline fights to shed her reputation as a bully and Melissa strives to break free from the weight of her husband Joe’s family drama, Kathy attempts to step out of her husband’s shadow to find her own voice and launch her career.”

3. ‘RHONJ’ Star Dina Manzo Separates From Husband Tommy

Not only will Albie and Chris Manzo be back for season five of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, but they’re also teaming up with the Village Pourhouse owners to open a new eatery in Hoboken, NJ in April. We have all the details on their new venture, plus all the juicy secrets behind the most infamous housewives in the tri-state area.

The Manzo Brothers Open A New Restaurant

Chris and Albie plan on opening Little Town NJ in Hoboken in early April, where they’ll feature their mom Caroline Manzo’s recipes for the brunch buffet and Sunday gravy on weekends.

Little Town NJ, located at 310 Sinatra Dr., will be the third location of Manhattan’s Little Town NYC, owned by Michael Sinensky and Sean McGarr.

Small dishes include “Chargrilled Cape May Oysters” with “savory gorgonzola butter,” “Little Town Rice Balls stuffed with NJ Taylor ham and cheese; and “Fried ‘Mutz’” — breaded and fried local mozzarella served with spicy “Jersey tomato marinara sauce.” Bigger dishes include the “East Hanover Dog,” an Italian hotdog wrapped in a pizza crust and stuffed with sautéed peppers, onions and crispy potatoes; and the “Short Hills Joe,” a New Jersey deli-style “Sloppy Joe.”

While the restaurant will likely bring the Manzo family further success, we have a feeling RHONJ co-star Teresa Giudice may be raising an eyebrow or two over this new development. She did, after all, say that Caroline is as “Italian as the Olive Garden.”

Season Five Of ‘RHONJ’ Will Be The Best Yet

The Manzo brothers tell us that the upcoming season of RHONJ will see a lighter side of Mama Manzo. “I hope to say that she’s gonna be in a better light this year,” Chris told HollywoodLife.com exclusively. “I know that she’s been pretty with, just, life in general. I know last year was a little hectic in general.”

Albie concurs, saying, “The greatest thing about Mom in particular is that Mom’s the real thing. And Mom’s not gonna put on an act for the cameras. She fits the cameras into the life, she doesn’t fit her life into the cameras. When she’s pissed off, you’re gonna know about it. And I think this year, like Chris said, we’re having a lot more fun. When we film with her and stuff, it’s a much more different vibe.”

When asked if infamous Danielle Staub would be returning this season, Albie told us not to count on it. “[This season] reminds me a lot more of the early seasons of Housewives when we could just joke around and be fun, be us. It’s nice to kind of get back to that and Danielle Staub probably would’ve thrown that off track a little bit.”

Are you looking forward to the new season of Real Housewives of New Jersey, HollywoodLifers?

Teresa Giudice and Joe Giudice already have four beautiful daughters, Milania, 7, Gabriella, 8, Audriana, 3, and Gia, 12, but Joe is pushing Teresa to have another child and this time he wants a boy. Since Teresa “refuses to get pregnant again,” a source tells In Touch magazine, they are thinking of using a surrogate.

“Joe really wants a boy,” Teresa told In Touch. “And he said we should get a surrogate to carry it!”

A show insider tells the mag, “He is really pressuring her. If that’s what he wants, she may just give in.”

Teresa Giucide Has Mixed Feelings About Having Another Baby

Teresa is reportedly jealous of her frenemy and sister-in-law Melissa Gorga, who has a boy.

“After her brother’s wife had Gino (now 5), Teresa was dying for a boy, too,” the source says.

In 2009, Teresa used IVF to conceive what the source said “they hoped” would be a baby boy. Instead, Teresa had her fourth daughter Audriana.

In 2012, another sourced said that “Teresa’s happy with her family the way it is. She loves her four girls.”

Teresa And Joe Even Have A Name Picked Out

Teresa tells In Touch that Joe already has a name for the unborn baby boy — “Franco. After my father-in-law.”

But just because Joe wants a boy doesn’t mean he’ll get one. “Teresa and Joe are still in a financial hole,” says the insider regarding their 2009 bankruptcy. “They’re spending a lot redoing their home. It’s very likely they would have trouble affording a surrogate.”

Do you think Teresa and Joe should have another child, HollyMoms?

After seven years of marriage, Dina Manzo and her husband Tommy have decided to part ways. The Real Housewives of New Jersey star, who starred alongside her sister Caroline Manzo on the Bravo series during the first two seasons, has separated from her husband, who happens to be Albert Manzo’s brother (Caroline’s husband).

“My secret…I have been separated since October, my heart hurts but Tommy & I will always share a very special love,” Dina wrote on Twitter a little after midnight on Feb. 2. “So grateful for the support of my loved ones during this time, especially my spiritual friends. You know who u are xoxo.”

Dina married Tommy in 2005. She has a daughter, 17-year-old Lexi, from her first marriage to George Hadjiapostoli.

Dina also noted her daughter in her tweets. She added, “And of course my biggest supporter Lexi, Tommy adores her & they will remain close.”

Ironically, Tommy never appeared on RHONJ during Dina’s stint on the show. Due to intense clashes with co-star Danielle Staub, Dina left RHONJ in the middle of the second season. She and sister Caroline have been estranged for a couple of years. Dina appeared on RHONJ during season 4, for an episode, to support friend Teresa Giudice.

Should Dina return to The Real Housewives of New Jersey, HollywoodLifers?
