Imagine Teresa on her own

Teresa Giudice from Real Housewives is a piece of work. She is a terrible gossip, and grating, but she's high-functioning in some ways: how clean she keeps her house, how she wrangles all the kids, how she stays relatively sane. Imagine her trying to handle her kids and hold down a job if her husband, Joe, were out of the picture.

Teresa's husband, Joe, is said to be, well, less in the picture than before. Money and drinking are two of their common topics to fight about, but they also battle it out about jealousy. Does anyone else wonder if Joe isn't a cheater? I wonder that from time to time.

When asked whether or not she was split up from Joe, Teresa had this to say:

"Of course not! Joe and I were just in Miami together for our birthdays, and we're in San Diego together right now for my Fabulicious book tour. I taped Ellen today. Love her!"

I would say that I believed her, except for one small area of concern: she most likely lied before in the past, when she got rabid over foreclosure/bankruptcy rumors. She claimed she knew nothing about her husband's finances, but we'll never know if that's really true.

One source told Rob Shuter at PopEater that the drama was manufactured by Bravo to keep the New Jersey Housewives on the air.

"Teresa has always been the star of that show so it makes sense that all these rumors are flying about her and her family," the anonymous source commented. "Don't worry, her relationship is stronger than any 'reality' show."
