Jersey 'Housewife' Teresa Giudice Could Get Spun Off

By Rob Shuter Posted Oct 5th 2010 08:25AM

Get ready Jersey, you're about to see a lot more of 'Real Housewife,' Teresa Giudice, as I'm told Bravo executives are discussing the possibility of giving the show's breakout star her own reality spin off show.

"If they can give Bethenny her own show you can bet that they will give Teresa one," a TV insider tells me. "You can't come up with a better script than Teresa's life. She's a mother and wife [of Joe] going through financial troubles and having to start all over again. Everyone has been hit hard by this economy and watching Teresa and her family struggle through problems will make for great TV."

Teresa is certainly one of the most popular 'Housewives' of all time, having sold more magazines (by appearing on the cover) than any other housewife INCLUDING Bethenny. Also, she's sold a crazy amount of copies of 'Skinny Italian,' her cookbook, so that's pretty solid proof that people just can't get enough of her.

"Bravo is sitting on gold with Teresa," one TV executive tells me. "No one could have predicted which wife would take off and which wouldn't. However I think we can all agree that Teresa is now the biggest star the franchise has ever created. It makes perfect sense that they are discussing giving her her own show. They would be stupid not to be talking about it."

When I contacted a Bravo spokesperson for comment, they cheeky devil told me, "Your Bravo insider has just as much chance of landing a spin-off show as Teresa."

How do you know they already haven't? Wink.

I am staring to think about selling my tv,, I dont use it any more. Tv sure has slipped the last few years.
Its as if the cheaper the shows are, the more they make in holly wood.

By wlh1923

Her new series? She would be the female Neanderthal on that Geico spin off. Perfect match.

By TK

PLEASE NO MORE!!! Stop rewarding bad behavior! Teresa and her hubby are frauds, thefts, and liers! They should be in prison for the millions they stolen and now the taxpayers have to pick up. They get a show they should not be allowed to file backruptcy either!

Please Boycott all housewife shows and Bravo!

I have to admit I would love to see Teresa living over the pizza/landry mat!

The only people responsible for Teresa & Joe's money problems are Teresa & Joe. Please don't blame the economy.

By ro

everybody knows they are a joke - so what the BIG DEAL

By Mrs Mom

Teresa is a joke. How is she starting over when they are still spending other folks money. They have lots of local small businesses that they owe and they had the nerve to throw a 100K house warming. That is not starting over. She needs to get a damn education. None of the NJ women so anything worth talking about. No education, no valuable work outside the home just a joke. I would like for her and those Mon chi chi kids to go away. Regardless of how I feel about Danielle she really tried to run from her at that fashion show and she chased her down just like a ghetto trick. She really showed her tacky this season.

I would totally watch!

By AnnaM

The only way I will ever watch her on TV again is if she is wearing an orange jumpsuit and it's filmed through prison bars.

By kila

Her kids are unattractive, except for the baby, she is raising them to be loud mouthed brats, Joe is as far from juicy as they get, he looks like a little round troll and she is hard to take, but hey she probably will get ratings, Kendra managed to get a show and it wasn't fascinating by any means, and also Bethanny, which is about as hard to look at as Theresa.

By RK

WOW....the kids might be brats but to be so mean as to call little girls "unattractive" is the aweful. That is the true meaning of UGLY...you should be ashamed of yourself and probably take a good hard look in the mirror yourself.

By Lidia

Kila you are 100 per cent right...Teresa 's kids they look ''OLD''...and Bethanny she's also another one to reprind....she's at time naked or cursing at people.

By Patricia

I wonder where that "fact" came from regarding Teresa selling more magazines than Bethenny. It sounsd like it came straight from Teresa's dreams. The reason Bethenny is popular is because she's smart and funny and actually doing something meaningful with her life. Teresa, on the other hand, is a moronic train wreck. I can't stand watching her as part of an ensemble, and I certainly wouldn't want to punish myself by watching her solo. As for watching her and her convict husband "struggle" and "start over," when did that happen? So far all I've seen them do is lie and cheat and steal and deny ever doing anything wrong. This woman doesn't deserve her own show, just her own prison ID number.

By remy

Please! Enough is enough! She has neither the looks, brains nor personality to carry her own show. This broad and her brats are the main reason why the NJ franchise is the only of Housewives show I refuse to watch.

By DocH

Here is another example of someone who has no talent, broke the federal laws, and is NOT pleasing to look at getting her own show. This person and her husband are in enough trouble with the court over not reporting money, and you are giving her a show?

Pays to be either a crook or a porn star these days, not a hard working talented actor.

By jojo

Sonya looks the most stylish of all. Alex could use a bra, Kelly and Luann, nothing special! Teresa would probably do well with her own show, no matter what, she will probably land on her feet!

By barbie

I wouldn't watch anything with Teresa in it, you couldn't even pay me to watch it. But off topic here, look at Alex McCord in that wedding dress, it's so unflattering, look at the breasts,ugh! But then look at her belly she looks pregnant, I wonder if she is ??

By John

does this mean she'll be able to pay off all those hard working family men she ripped off when she built her mansion?

This woman makes me throw up in my mouth.
She's used up trash, why recycle her?

By gil

real housewife of new jersey state prison would be the perfect name

Teresa she cannot speak well....the show will be boring.This lady has no finesse.
