Bravo flew a bunch of their top reality stars for some event in New York and put them all up at the Chelsea Hotel. It must have been quite a sight watching this group milling around the lobby. Atlanta Housewife NeNe Leakes is dressed to kill in red, with sparkly New Jersey Housewife Melissa Gorga equally ready for action. Shahs of Sunset star Reza Farahan is immaculately groomed and Beverly Hills Housewife Lisa Vanderpump is celebrating her spinoff show – to take place in her restaurant Sur. Who’s YOUR favorite?

WATCH FOR “REAL HOUSEWIFE” MELISSA GORGA AT YOUR LOCAL SUPERMARKET

If Melissa Gorga is as wealthy as she wants us to think, why did she take a job promoting vodka? “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” star lives in one of the biggest mansions in New Jersey and spends tons of money on clothes and frivolities. She says her very successful husband Joe (who installed a recording studio in the house for his wife) is a property developer who converts warehouses into condos. So we were surprised to learn that Melissa was making a personal appearance at our local Gelson’s supermarket in West Hollywood “signing autographs and talking about Voli light vodka.” Shoppers who saw her there reported that she was “prettier and smaller than she looks on TV.” One would think a wife with a house that opulent would be above supermarket demonstrations, but you never know!

MELISSA GORGA: GUIDO’S DREAM GIRL GOES TO THE BIG CITY

Don’t tell her sister-in-law Teresa, but “Real Housewives of New Jersey” star Melissa Gorga is getting an awful lot of attention on the street in New York – from passers-by and from photographers. And she doesn’t seem to mind at all. She just walked out of a building where she may or may not have had a meeting about her singing career. Either way, she looks hot in her polka dot dress and black wrap coat.

NEW JERSEY HOUSEWIFE MELISSA HAD A LESBIAN LOVER!

The plot continues to thicken on the Real Housewives of New Jersey. Teresa Giudice, left, will be thrilled to learn that the National Enquirer has dug up some tasty dirt on her arch-rival sister-in-law Melissa Gorga, right. Melissa doesn’t mention much about her history before she attended New Jersey City University, but like many reality stars, her past has come back to haunt her. A high school friend named Jamie Bauer claims that they were lesbian lovers at Boca Raton high school in 1995. Melissa’s mother tried to break it up, but the torrid affair lasted 18 months until Melissa cheated with another girl!

NEW JERSEY HOUSEWIFE TERESA HAS MET HER MATCH

Teresa Giudice’s worst nightmare has come true. The infamous table-flipping star of Real Housewives of New Jersey was NOT happy when her sister in law was asked to join the cast (in fact Teresa threatened to quit, but didn’t.) Melissa Gorga is married to Teresa’s brother Joe, and the flashy women, who are described as “two of a kind,” have always been at odds. Teresa was the best-known “Housewife” until Melissa came on like gangbusters. Melissa’s incredible ego, acquisitiveness, and vanity, not to mention her sex-starved husband Joe, are stealing the show. The Gorgas’ antics even eclipsed the Giudice’s financial woes. (Above, Teresa on the left and Melissa, right)

‘HOUSEWIFE” DANIELLE STAUB’S CHANEL HANDBAG LAYAWAY DIDN’T WORK OUT

Recently Danielle Staub, who was booted off “The Real Housewives of New Jersey,” was celebrating her “two new reality shows” by having lunch at The Ivy on Robertson Blvd. According to our nosey source, her table manners were questionable and she “devoured the basket of bread like a piranha.” After lunch, she went to the Chanel store and picked out three handbags that added up to way over $14,000. She put them on hold, confiding with a wink, that she hoped her new TV producers would pay for them. She never came back.

We really love this vintage photo of Teresa Giudice and her husband-to-be Joe in 1984. Apparently they were family friends for years before they became a romantic couple. Little did this fresh faced New Jersey pair guess that a reality show, implants, and a shady bankruptcy were in their future. Apparently Joe sold a bunch of his old photos to In Touch Weekly – they must be hard up for money, after all.

DANIELLE STAUB SAYS PRINCE IS THE WORLD’S GREATEST KISSER

Little did Danielle Staub of The Real Housewives of New Jersey realize what a firestorm of outrage her comments about the singer Prince would activate. In an interview with Steppin’ Out magazine, Staub, who has been described as a former stripper and call girl, alleged that she had a fling with the diminutive singer in her younger years. She called him “the best kisser in the world” and went on to say “When you’re lying down you’re all the same height. Plus he wore HEELS.” Yes, Prince wears heels in bed. He has custom made high heeled bedroom slippers and his other girlfriends have verified this. Princes’ fans are appalled by Danielle’s claims and they want to know the truth. (We’d like more details too!)

NEW JERSEY HOUSEWIFE TERESA AND HUSBAND JOE WERE FAKING WEALTH: THEY’RE BANKRUPT

The “Real Housewives of New Jersey” continue to live up to their reputation. Producers must be thrilled since Teresa Giudice (the table flipper) and her husband Joe have filed for bankruptcy because they’re 11 million dollars in debt. (In January, Joe was arrested for DUI when he ran into a pole and flipped his truck). While he was drinking, Teresa was shopping. According to the NY Post, they lived in an 1.8 million dollar 10,500 sq ft, marble and onyx laden home which is being foreclosed upon, yet their combined incomes (including her Bravo salary) add up to only $79,000! Credit card bills, Cadillacs, bad investments, home repairs, fertility treatments, implants, etc, totaled 11 million in the hole. How the mighty have fallen.
