RHONJ Teresa Giudice Are You Team Teresa?

 Housewives have been a trending television topic as of late and the epidemic is growing rapidly. Among the many housewife shows one of the more favored is the Real Housewives of New Jersey. The girls are gorgeous and the drama is seldom deemed dull. But the real reason the Jersey girls are getting the Good Advice Guru SNAPs of approval is due to the "Fabulicious" and unpretentious personality of super star, Teresa Giudice.
Most Housewife shows portray women who live luxurious lavish lifestyles and are almost always un-relatable. Sure we'd all like to become a girl who "has it all" so to speak but the likelihood of that happening is slim to none at best. For some reason however, this particular Jersey girl has a super star quality so special, it makes you feel as though shes exactly like you. Teresa Giudice is a mom, like many. She puts her friends and family first, like many. She lives her life to the fullest, like many and has a heart made of pure gold, like so very many. Although she seems to live "the good life" there's something common and familiar about Teresa. She's not afraid to show she makes mistakes and invites the world to see when she does. Teresa doesn't boast about the "goods shes got" and although she seemingly spends a fortune in the first few episodes, she doesn't come off to the average "Joe" ( no pun intended) as pretentious or gloaty. Instead, comes across as a sweet simple Italian housewife from Jeresy. A mother who loves nothing more then to give her girls everything they deserve and protect and love her whole family with every inch of who she is. 
As a mother of four gorgeous little girls she dresses them in delicious, to die for dresses and over the top outfits that any girly girl would hope and wish for. Complete with accessories, bows and purses to match, each of her daughters are "poshed" up like little princesses and once in a while,  even mommy matches. In an early episode Teresa and her girls, dressed to the nines, come from a shopping trip to meet Joe ( her husband) for dinner. He's a man a very few words, but during the dinner Teresa shares she's spent a fortune shopping. She then says a statement she utters frequently throughout the series. She says "Happy wife, Happy Life". And during an episode interview "Juicy Joe" ( which Teresa calls him) reveals he's happy if she's happy. He does joke about hiding the credit cards when Teresa is around but ultimately he's content to see the four wonderful women in his life living the lifestyle he wants them to live. 
As sweet and heart felt as Teresa is, she is after all a "Jersey girl", and Jersey girls come fully equipped with attitude and terrible tempers to boot. She's not someone to reckon with. When Danielle crossed over to Teresa's bad side  the first two seasons there was no doubt in the minds of viewers that eventually the two would soon feud. There was also no doubt that the Italian tempered Teresa would wipe the floor with the less dominating Danielle. Teresa DID NOT disappoint! Fans were left with a table flipping, anger filled, drama drowned episode that made RHONJ make its mark in the TV hall of fame of fabulous fights. And amongst TV fights and feuds, this one was ranked up there with the best. The sweet "Fabulicious" cook book creating queen, put family first, amazing housewife/mommy suddenly turned into temper tantrumed, big blow out oober Bitch. And fans couldn't have been happier with the outcome.  Danielle was definitely deemed the loser in this blow out and Giudice went from simple unknown housewife to Teresa Giudice famous gorgeous girl with a "Bangin Jersey Bod", a great BIG Jersey smile and a Jersey tough girl temper. Snooki was no longer Jerseys most famous female.
This season RHONJ brought in Teresa's brother and sister-in-law Joey and Melissa Gorga. Fans aren't feeling the love for the duo, as many believe Melissa just joined the show to out shine her sister-in-law. That and to out the financial foes the Giudice family has been facing as of late. Melissa tries tirelessly to play the victim to Teresa's so called antics but the fans are standing behind their favorite Jersey girl. Teresa has the love and support of over 80% of the viewers.  Many have even mentioned if Melissa wants to keep her place on the show, she should try as tirelessly to make amends with Teresa rather than bellowing and bad mouthing as she has been. In a recent pole taken by the shows network "Bravo" over 78% of the viewers watching just that evening were totally on Teresa's side. Melissa may not be the menace shes appears to be, but she made a major mistake in her debut episode. She came in guns blazing tearing down Teresa and stabbing at the superstar before viewers even got the chance to like her. She claims she wants peace for her family and her only intentions are for her husband to be happy. But still, she continues to create drama between the two siblings making caddy instigating remarks about Teresa to her husband. Teresa sticks to a motto she has had since the beginning that she always puts family first "my family is the most important thing to me" she states. She not only says that statement sincerely but she shows it as well. Teresa and "Juicy Joe" ( her husband) have hit some terrible times. Teresa lives in a house without home furnishing but she takes a tip from Tammy Wynnet and "Stands by Her Man" through think and thin. Fans haven't seen any evidence from Melissa as of yet, that if the tables were turned and she had to work for food and mortgage would she do the same and "Stand By her Man? Many fans are  skeptical about Melissa's intetnions and about her feelings towards Teresa.  Teresa may sometimes live in a world of her own, denying that things are falling down around her. But when push comes to shove the "Fabulicious" gorgeous girl has proven time and again... No one can break her down.. after all she's a Jersey girl. This Jersey girl gets  Good Advice Guru SNAPs of approval. Your Fans are forever with you all the way and we'll even give you second SNAPs Teresa Giudice..and  SNAPs for the 'FABULICIOUS Giudice family as well.

Jennifer Lopez : Timeless Talent

Jennifer Lopez
Every time you turn on your television these days it certainly seems you can count on seeing Jennifer Lopez. She's a super sexy Latin beauty with killer legs and a fabulous figure. Better known to her fans around the world as "JLo" it seems the older Lopez gets, the more people learn to love her.
Lopez started her talented career as one of the "Fly Girls" in the popular comedy TV hit "In Living Color." She didn't have much air time and wasn't given any lines to read but if you were alive in the 90s then you knew who the "Fly Girls" were and every female 8 - 80 wanted to be one. Shortly after she began dating Sean (Diddy) Combs and appeared in his video. By 1997 Jennifer Lopez was a name everyone knew due to her perfect performance in the role of a lifetime as "Selena". Her performance in "Selena" got the attention of millions around the world as well as some pretty impressive film directors. Soon she would be playing roles opposite some of Hollywood's Hottest celebrities, such as (George Clooney 1998,"Out of Site"), (Jim Caviezel, 2001 "Angel Eyes"), also (Matthew McConaughey, 2001 "Wedding Planner"), (Ben Affleck, 2003 "Gigli"), and ( 2005 "Monster In Law", with Jane Fonda).
Along with her hottest hits at the box office JLo was singing and dancing her way into the hearts of millions. She produced sensational songs such as "Jenny from the Block", "Love Don't Cost a Thing", and "waiting for Tonight". Just recently this year her hit single "On the Floor" was released from her newest album and has sold millions already.

Jennifer Lopez with
Marc Anthony


J-Lo looks just as young
and beautiful as when we
first heard her name!

Lopez signed a deal with Americas top television show "American Idol" in 2010, and landed a contract reportedly worth over $12million. Critics said once Simon and Paula left the show last year that the show wouldn't be the same. They feared the show would soon flop and would be off the air in a matter of time. The critics turned out to be right about one thing. The show certainly hasn't been the same without Simon and Paula. And, although viewers have admitted to missing the sexual tension between the two, none-the-less the show has still remained on the top and viewers vow they love it even more. She adds fashion and flavor to the new and improved "American Idol". Lopez shows her softer side by encouraging contestants to keep on living their dreams. On the other hand if you haven't got what it takes to "make it", having the fabulous former "Jenny from the Block"  deliver the news makes making a fool of yourself on national television well worth the pain considering. 
Besides being beautiful,  multi talented, and having fame and fortune Jennifer is married to singer, songwriter, gorgeous guy, Marc Anthony. Who wouldn't want to be a fly on the wall in that super hot celeb couples home? All talent, beauty and fortune aside, they appear to be completely in love. In fact, the two seem different then most celebrity couples and pride themselves on keeping a happy marriage. In February of 2008 Lopez gave birth to twins, Emme and Max and the happy family spends as much time together as possible. In a recent interview Anthony said that his wife makes a beautiful and amazing mother and the family is incredibly happy.
Jennifer Lopez is over forty now and looks even better then the "fly girl" we met almost two decades ago. Her career has certainly surpassed several other super star celebs and she doesn't seem to be slipping away any time soon. Her journey with American Idle is only beginning while she has become a seasoned singer/actress and the demand for J-Lo is if anything unbelievably impressive. Her fans are hip hop pre teens as well as moms grandmas and men of all ages. Lopez has a true talent that appeals to a buffet of followers and her talent is totally timeless. It takes a special kind of something to have a career that withstands the test of time. However when you put in the mix beauty, sex appeal, multiple talents and a likable appealing personality, you will no doubt create someone exactly like Jennifer Lopez. Shes a gorgeous girl who's no doubt, a truly timeless talent and the perfect package. SNAPS for Jennifer Lopez!

RHONJ Matriarch: Caroline Manzo

RHONJ Matriarch Caroline Manzo
Reality shows have become increasingly popular over the years. Some are mindless, boring and not worth watching while others are even more entertaining then any Major Network prime time show could ever be. Amongst the top reality show frenzy are the Housewife series. Whether you're a fan of the kitty kats of the OC, the beauties of Beverly Hills, or the glamour girls of Jersey, there's no denying that Reality Housewives have made their mark on reality TV.
One of the favored Jersey housewives is modern matriarch Caroline Manzo. Caroline is a beautiful woman, loving wife, and incredible mother of three. There is no denying that with her big beautiful melt your heart smile and glamour girl good looks she is clearly physically a beauty. However Caroline's true beauty lies skin deep and comes out shining in the love she has for her family.
In a world where most mothers are career girls as well, many say that family comes first but few truly follow the motto. Mrs Manzo makes the "Family First " rule mandatory and her career falls second fiddle. While her children were growing up Caroline stayed home to nurture their needs. She taught them respect, to be well mannered and well behaved. And although Albie and Chris ( Caroline's sons) are now in their twenties and out on their own, as the show has progressed we have seen through the years that the boys still listen and come to Caroline when they need her. Lauren ( Carolines daughter) is still living at home but because of endless encouragement from her mother she is successfully fulfilling her dreams of "making it" as a make-up artist. Caroline allows her children to pick their own dreams, never forcing them into a family business ( owners of the Brownstone in Jersey) or telling them what she thinks they should do. She even once had encouraging words for son, Chris, when he had aspirations of opening a car wash/stripper club. Her only voice of reason to her son was to "make it a car wash/strip club that mama could visit and be proud of." In another episode Albie, her eldest had decided to leave law-school. Instead of showing disappointment and despair for her son  (as many Italian families would have done) she engaged him in a hug, gave him nurturing advice and lent him an ear to listen. She assured him all would be OK then tells him to find a field of work that better would suit him. She clearly encourages her children and offers them the best of her love and attention.
Although she is loving and warm she still wears the pants ( so to speak) when it comes to running the household. Immediately when you watch you realize when this matriarch speaks, all ears still to listen. Lauren puts it best when she said "my mom offers great advice, she can tell you to "F" off and say it with a smile on her face."
Caroline is #6 out of 11 brothers and sisters, she keeps in touch with her large family and also has a respectful and loving relationship with her longtime husband Albert. She is very vocal about working hard to make her marriage a meaningful marvelous one. They have mutual admiration for one another and both work equally hard to keep the marriage fresh and exciting. In season four Caroline turned down an invite to the popular Posche fashion show due to her dedication to the couples date night. Albert and Caroline take time out every week to spend an alone evening together. It's evident that Albert is clearly in love with his wife. Watch an episode or two and you will no doubt see the love between to the two.
The matriarch gives welcomed advice to her fellow housewives. She has a genuine concern for her friends as well as her family.  The depth of her warmth and her spectacular smile make a meaningful pair, and joined with the sassy side we sometimes get to see certainly make is easy to become a fan of the fabulous Mama Manzo.
Caroline Manzo, the matriarch, is a warm well intentioned woman. She is a loving wife, an amazing mother, and fabulous friend to those she holds dear. To the fans she'll always be a favorite of the "Jersey girls" and one hell of a Housewife. We love Team Caroline!... SNAPs for Caroline Manzo!!
