They are getting air time on tv - They appeared on Today show, and one of the news magazine (Inside Edition?) went to Dina's charity auction - they auctioned an appearance on the IE show...

oh and come on - Caroline's son wants to do a strip club, and Danielle has experience!!

this show and this cast, all of them except Jacqueline, are just the worse to me. They seem to have absolutely nothing going on in their lives, its all a bit too much pretend and wanna be for me. Wanna be rich, wanna be 'classy', wanna be important, wanna be pretty, wanna matter to someone... its all too much. Bring back the NY cast!

Actually, I think Jacqueline needs to grow some cojones. She's a doormat to Danielle's bossiness. She's complaining about being in the middle, but she doesn't even stand up for herself. When Danielle was pushing her, and she said "please don't" it was meek and mild.

I don't buy Danielle's poor pitiful me story feels like bull-hooey to me. If, in fact, there wasn't a whole lotta truth to the story, she could've refuted it in the press or elsewhere and then showed that. Instead she whines that she was in the wrong place wrong time.

Teresa needs to be careful with Gia. That girl is growing up to be Paris Hilton spoiled, and that ain't pretty.

ok,lol,just my thoughts. I agree,Jaqueline should definitely be more aggressive. Danielle needs shock therapy(or is that what happened to her eyebrows?) WHY did they have to give HER the gay husband? (I guess she needs some kind OF husband) Dina,while I was on the fence with her,watching her bawl her eyes out and worry over Lexi,(who is growing on me too BTW) I identified with her a lot. Really liking her. Teresa,I am liking her more and more,especially at the Dance Studio,woulda liked to see her smack Danielle silly. And I know it's probably just MY opinion and I'll be countered for it,lol. But I think Gia is a living doll and watching her put her clothes away was TOO cute!! And as far as having "Alberto" bring her luggage up,Her mom instructed her to,and if I am watching right,they are paying these guys for this too. And alas,Caroline,still LOVE her!! What a Mama Lion!! And Sister Lion,and Friend to have!! Love Love Love her!!!

Oh I think Gia's adorable. I think Teresa just needs to be careful. Gia's comment about working "Gossip Girl" and how everyone wants her was just a little too much for a little girl. The fact that she IS a living doll doesn't mean that she should assume everyone is there for her.

Teresa is not related to Car/Jac/Dina, right? Just a friend.?

Wonder why Dina's husband isn't shown? He isn't dancing around in the back ground.

Teresa and hubs better watch flashing all the bills around. to me that would be a IRS red flag waving.

Costa stated:

I have to agree with you, Costa. Danielle didn't really deny the story. When Jacqueline asked if she was involved she kind of tried to dance around it, but kind of said something like, "Everyone does crazy things when they are young. That was years ago."

I think the story is definitely true and she was involved in the kidnapping of that teenager. She did say she went to jail, but then said, "Big deal." I wonder how long she got?

Jacqueline needs to stop hanging with her like yesterday. After the dancing and the book, Teresa said she is done with her and Jacqueline needs to quit answering the phone. I know that won't stop Danielle right away, as she seems as if she could be somewhat of a stalkerish-type person, but she is not and never will be good for Jacqueline.

Sadly, I think the producers will force Jacqueline to stay friends with Danielle of they couldn't really do anything with Danielle's character, which would be fine with me. She is one scary lady. I felt so very sorry for her daughters last night when she said it was just the 3 of them and she'd been a good Mom right? She just needs so much validation and that's what she should be giving the young ones, not vice versa.

Teresa is a friend, I believe. Jacqueline is the sister-in-law. Danielle is the crazy one.

I think the story definitely has some true bits. As to whether the entire thing is true, I don't know. But if she was truly "just back in town" when the Feds raided the place, she could've proved it with her airline ticket and not needed to get processed to the point there was a mug shot. They do NOT do mug shots right away. And since she did go to jail, someone somewhere believed she did what she thinks she didn't do!

Jacqueline is a doormat. She won't stop taking Danielle's calls. Her reaction when she asked Danielle to quit talking about Teresa, and when Danielle didn't, proves that fact.

Drama and validation. Honestly, life is too short to be involved with someone like that!

Teresa's not a cousin? I thought she was related somehow, lol. As for "Danielle", she doesn't seem to have any other marketable skills, and seems comfortable having men pay her way. Jacqueline should seriously cut her loose. "Danielle" treats her like crap, but she seems too soft-hearted to not get dragged into her chaos.

Even if Dina had spread the word on Danielle if the info is in the book Dina is not guilty of defamation of character;otherwise Danielle would have sued the author years ago.
If anything Dina could possibly be guilty of "busting" one scary woman.Danielle likes the limelight and never thought her past would be revealed. Seems like she was big time wrong.

wait a minute Costa, technically they are all crazy!! (I mean they are on a reality show right?) and I'm giving crazy points to Dina as well - but she had an interesting point that Dina, Caroline work - Danielle doesnt work - she needs money from somewhere -

Can you say "damage control?" If Danielle's gay boyfriend has known her 27 years, this incident happened 24 years ago - so wouldn't he have already known about it?

Very good and interesting point

I thought that Teresa was married to one of the brothers like Jacqueline

Gia made me smile a million times over last night. As a teenager it would not be cute but it was adorable to me last night. Hopefully it won't be anything to worry about when she is older.

I just think they are so dumb to flash that money around like that. First I think it does flag IRS and suspicions. But more than all that it flags robbers; just seems like a really ignorant thing to advertise.

Jacqueline's sweetness is getting old and makes her look not so smart at this point.

Danielle, what is there to say.....poor daughters.

Gia is truly her mother's child......
When Teresa asked her about doing "Gossip Girl" it was so cute.

I forgot to say that I was happy to see her sincerely go in there and ask Gia if she wanted to do something instead of just saying she would do it. That being said who knows what she would have done if Gia said no I just want to go play. I feel like she have said no big deal go play, I hope so anyway!

Wow, I choked when Gia said "A lot of people want me for things now." Oh, how over-indulged, spoiled and bratty she is. What an attitude she has, and she's gotten it from her muthah.

I think Teresa handled Gia saying that perfectly. She just kind of rolled her eyes as if to say, "Yeah, right..don't think you're all that." I don't see her letting Gia get out of hand. I think Gia is cute, but she's not beautiful. This seems to be coming from her wanting to be in commercials/modeling and not just her Mom pushing her.

I hope so, Cricket. Gia's too young to get too over-inflated an ego. That would be tragic for her.

Re. the up-thread mention of Dina's wedding-show clip, it struck me when I watched the clip that she spoke "normally" and didn't have the heavy New Jersey accent that seems more pronounced now. Anyone else notice that?

Thanks for the links to the excerpt from the book "Cop Without a Badge." Yikes, even after plastic surgery you can tell "Beverly" is Danielle. Man, if I could afford plastic surgery, I'd at least have asked that my features be altered--and made prettier! Beverly/Danielle received neither, imo.

Re: Dina's wedding clip... could he have leaned any farther away from her. I was waiting for him to flip over the side.

You should watch the episode itself. She had no control of the wedding, it was all about what he wanted

Wow,I hope no one ever hears my girls talk if they don't have a sense of humor. They say stuff like that allll the time. And they may have bratty moments,but they are far from it. But hopefully no one would ever judge them based on one sentence.Just sayin'

Lori, I don't think Sia or I judged Gia just on that one comment. I mentioned upthread that the comment bothered me. It wasn't said with a lot of humor and the attitude I'm getting is that she is going to be very spoiled if mama doesn't pull in the reins real soon.
