Will Danielle Staub “Tell All’ on “Watch What Happens, Live”?

Just in time for Watch What Happens, Live! new season, after endless speculation about her return to the Real Housewives of New Jersey, Danielle Staub will sit down with Andy Cohen as his only guest Sunday, September 8.

Should be a ratings bonanza.

Will Danielle spill the beans on the Manzo clan? She knows where all the bodies are buried, literally and figuratively. Recall Season 1, when Jacqueline Laurita was her BFF. Jacqueline and Caroline Manzo, sister-in-laws, never got along before the show, and Jacqueline always cried on Danielle’s shoulder about adapting to the Manzos.  As we know, Jacqueline runs like a faucet…she told it all.

Danielle Knows All

From bravotv.com:

Former Real Housewives of New Jersey star Danielle Staub was the first guest in the Bravo Clubhouse and brought some memorable moments from her visit. (Who could forget,"Real Close," her live duet with Lori Michaels?)And guess what: she's scheduled to sit down with Andy Cohen once again when Watch What Happens Live returns September 8.

But none of those conflicts reached the fever pitch of the all-out war between her and Teresa, which peaked at the end of RHONJ's debut season with the table flipping.

We're sure Danielle won't be shy in sharing her opinions on her former costars lives today.

Come on, Danielle! Spill the tea. 

We’ll be watching.

RHONJ Dirty Laundry

Watch What Happens Live! returns for another season Sunday, September 8, 2013.

Danielle Staub Knows ALL

Another day, another anonymous "source" speaking to RadarOnline.

However.. former the Real Housewives of New Jersey cast member knows where all the bodies are buried.

If it's true Danielle Staub is returning for a close encounter, that could very well be explosive.

Remember Season 1? In the premiere season, Jacqueline Laurita was Danielle's BFF, and told her all the Manzo family secrets. Junkyard dog Caroline Manzo never, until the show, accepted ex-Las Vegas stripper Jacqueline into the family circle, despite the fact that she'd married her brother, Chris Laurita. The relationship was so bad, Caroline barely knew Ashley Holmes, Jacqueline's daughter from her marriage to John Holmes.

Jacqueline, not exactly known for her mental stability or maturity, spilled all the tea to Danielle.

Then there's the more recent Melissa Gorga problem.

Melissa Gorga was so jealous of sister-in-law Teresa Giudice and her growing fan base as a result of the show, that by Season 2, in an act of desperation, she contacted Danielle Staub….seeking a cameo, at the very least.  More information for Danielle, which is why she was able to confront Teresa with "did you acknowledge your nephew?" a statement that ended with Teresa so angry she pushed Andy Cohen down when he tried to restrain her, one of the best LOL's in RH reunion history.  The Danielle/Melissa Conspiracy

 

Excerpt from RadarOnline:

“Danielle originally told Bravo no, but has since agreed to make a very limited appearance on the upcoming season. Provided she is showcased in the proper light,” an insider said.

The former RHONJ star could cause trouble for a number of the women, including Melissa, Teresa and Jacqueline, considering their past run-ins.

“They know that the season will end will massive fireworks, and they’re all prepping themselves to be blindsided by the drama that can be introduced.

For the tea these women spilled before season 1 aired; go to

VERY DIRTY LAUNDRY

Caroline Manzo Tired of Frowning and Clowning?

After the negativity and downright ugliness that began toward Teresa Giudice, initiated by Caroline Manzo after the Punta Cana incident, and the negative feedback from viewers Caroline and her clan received, she has decided to back off Teresa for Season 5.

As reported recently, the entire cast of season 4, Melissa Gorga, Kathy Wakile, and Jacqueline Laurita,  will return for a 5th season.

This "change of heart" has nothing to do with them putting out negative press about Teresa, most recently the divorce story circulating around.

Loved Teresa's response to the National Enquirer article:

"The National Enquirer is only good for lining birdcages"

Here's what Caroline told HollywoodLife:

“The past is where I want it to be in the past, I feel good about it. I have a very positive attitude. I’m back. I’m going in with a clear mind.”Caroline also told us that she doesn’t think she will ever fully reconcile with Teresa. “I don’t know that we could ever go back to how we were. You know, it can get to, how are things, how are the kids.. you know civil. Will it ever be how it was?… Doubtful. It is what it is. We are big girls.”

Big girls? More like a clique of fifth grade girls hatin'.  Caroline is not capable of holding back, so we'll just watch what happens, if we can stomach another season of this sad, sorry bunch.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey are currently filming. As a matter of fact, I got this from a little twitter birdie named @Sweeetbea:

Just bumped into my secret spy at Starbucks & was informed Bravo is filming tomorrow in my town #RHONJ at Elvira's

Remember Elvira Grau , the party planner from Season 2?

Real Housewives of New Jersey: Greggy Bennett Gets His, Did Caroline Steal the Wedding From Dina?

chris manzo,lauren manzo, greggy bennett and albie manzo

We got a glimpse on the last episode of the Real Housewives of New Jersey  of how dull the show would be without Teresa Giudice.

Give me a break, Kathy Wakile and company.  The kids knew Tia Rosie was gay all along. This whole love fest with Rosie is an Andy Cohen concoction, designed to look like the Wakile’s have a storyline.

The pool party?  There are no words.  Is Joe Gorga straight or confused? No, Melissa Gorga, your acting is as good as your singing.

On to the main event. I find it so fascinating that the perennial Manzo sidekick can dish it out but cannot take it.

Granted, Joe Giudice’s “joke” about his butthole was rude, crude and not exactly PC, but Juicy Joe is rude, crude and over it all. As he awaits his jail sentence.

But why is Greggy Bennett even there?  If Caroline Manzo is so upset about people saying Prince Albie Manzo is gay, wouldn’t she get rid of the gay roommate? Granted, the Manzo “kids” are as dull as old dishwater, but you’d think she’d want the gay rumors to go away....  wouldn’t you?

Here’s what she said a while back...MANZO; MY CHILDREN DID NOT SIGN UP FOR THIS

Yes, they did, Caroline, and cashed the Bravo TV check.

Lest we forget, Greggy Bennett got on the show by kissing Teresa’s ass at the Season 2 Posche Fashion Show (the Danielle Staub weave-pulling incident)

ANOTHER PLAYER IN THE "HATE DANIELLE " GAME (read the comments)

Since the demise of Danielle, he became a regular sidekick on the show last season, dumped Teresa, and became an unofficial “Manzo”.

To see him get a little bit of his back from Juicy Joe was PRICELESS. And yes, though Jacqueline Laurita denies it, Chris Laurita did laugh, and Lauren Manzo, who always suffers at Greggy’s hand (jealous because he’s not a real girl?) laughed too.

In other news on the Dina Manzo/Caroline Manzo feud, rumor has it Dina was supposed to feature Jaime Laurita’s wedding on her HGTV show Dina’s Party.  When Caroline got wind of it, she quickly shopped it to Andy Cohen and Bravo.  Jaime consented, since Bravo is a bigger venue.

Sounds like Caroline, doesn’t it?  So, from 10 siblings, only the two on the Real Housewives of New Jersey could attend?

Something rotten in North New Jersey, not just the BlkWater.

Jealousy Rules The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 4

Why oh why did Bravo TV bring the most dysfunctional Real Housewives franchise back to our screens so early, bumping the Real Housewives of New York City back to June 4? The simple answer: ratings. May is an advertiser sweeps month. The more complex answer: let’s get this crapfest out of the way so we can dump this bunch of losers.

WILL TERESA GIUDICE BE THE SOLE SEASON 5 SURVIVOR?

In Life and Style Magazine this week, they talk about what’s going on with the new season. The article is short on fact and long on fiction, I’ll attempt to insert a little truth here.

Life and Style:

Since the tense season-three reunion show in September, only sister-in-law Melissa Gorga, has seen Teresa - just once at her niece's birthday in January. Fame is to blame, Caroline Manzo, the matriarch of the cast, tells Life & Style. "Fame is like a drug," she tells Life & Style about Teresa, who went from being a stay-at-home mom to a New York Times best-selling author. "If you don't have your feet planted solidly on the ground, it can really take you for a trip."

Fact: Caroline Manzo is so jealous of Teresa Giudice she can’t see straight. No matter how she tries to disguise it as common sense and motherly advice, the core of Caroline says she and her loser children were supposed to reap the benefits from the franchise, not Teresa. The icing on the cake?

CAROLINE MANZO WAS NEVER CONSIDERED FOR CELEBRITY APPRENTICE

Life and Style:

Relationships were so strained between former best friends Teresa and Jacqueline Laurita, that Jacqueline skipped the reunion show. Speaking out for the first time since then, Jacqueline tells Life & Style exclusively that Teresa changed once she viewed Jacqueline as a threat. "Teresa has an unhealthy need to be the best,"

FACT: Jacqueline Laurita as a threat? That’s a good one. Jacqueline has the emotional maturity of your average 5 year old, her hands are full just kissing Caroline’s ass and competing with her 21 year old daughter, Ashley Holmes. By the way, don’t try going to TheLookStore, Jacqueline’s venture, your anti-virus security will warn you. When was the need to be the best unhealthy? Teresa has to work, she is in severe financial distress, and they all thought that was wonderful when the target was Danielle Staub.

                        JUICY JOE TAKES THE FIFTH

Life and Style:

As for Teresa's own flesh and blood, cousin Kathy Wakile tries her best to keep the peace and tells Life & Style that she's treated Teresa with "kid gloves" to avoid setting her off. But Melissa found herself under attack after Teresa told her brother (Melissa's husband, Joe) that Melissa would leave him for a richer man. "It hurt so bad," Melissa tells Life & Style. "There's just no reason to ever say something like that."

FACT: Kathy Wakile is a ‘stealth-bomber’ and Melissa Gorga did everything she could to discredit Teresa and get on the show, including contacting Danielle Staub and telling her ALL of Teresa’s business. (Danielle, at the Season 2 reunion, didn’t pull the stuff about the birth of the nephew out of the air)

ABOUT A BOY

Life and Style:

But Teresa says her former friends Caroline and Jacqueline are the ones who wronged her by teaming up with her relatives, Kathy and Melissa, despite their issues. "In a perfect world, I'd be closer with my family," Teresa tells Life & Style. "Or, at the very least, my friends would help me repair those relationships rather than attempt to cause additional problems between us."

Fact: Teresa, with her three cookbooks, her cocktail, her personal appearances, and most of all, her stint on Celebrity Apprentice, where, unlike Nene Leakes, she won for her charity, NephCure, and is hanging in there, now in the final seven contestants, is rolling on. Teresa Giudice owns Sunday nights.

By the way, Teresa, Caroline Manzo was never your friend.  Caroline Manzo has a street gang mentality, no friends, only followers. Ask her sister, Dina Manzo.

The crapfest known as the Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 4 will premiere Sunday, April 22, 2012. on Bravo TV

Celebrity Apprentice airs on NBC , concurrently

Teresa Giudice Blames Tabloids

Teresa Giudice of the Real Housewives of New Jersey didn’t take Kelly Bensimon’s  course in Famewhoredom 101, “all publicity is good”.  She repeatedly makes questionable statements, she’s not able to hide her marital and financial problems from the public eye, and she makes enemies everywhere.

Wasn’t she the one who first mentioned she’d be the cover story at Life and Style via Twitter last week? Didn’t she, in fact, sell them the story? So pardon my confusion.  As for the story at Radar, nothing happened at the Posche Fashion show, held at the Brownstone since the North Jersey Country Club banned them after the Danielle Staub fight, started by Teresa, last year.

I received an email about the Fashion Show from Kim Granatell’s publicist, but, according to a source at the actual event, Kim was not filmed.  There was “tension” and eye rolling in the room, with Melissa Gorga and the other cousin were on opposite sides of the room during the event, but nothing happened.

It appears Bravo is casting Teresa as the villain for Season 3.  And she is cooperating, whether she knows it or not.

This is what she told the dish at the Bravo website:

If we've learned anything over two seasons of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, it's that you don't pick a fight with Teresa Giudice. The Jersey Housewife is firing back at tabloid reports that have claimed everything from marriage troubles to physical altercations.
"Alright for the record, Life&Style=garbage, RadarOnline=flies who eat poop off of garbage," Teresa tweeted at her prime assailants. "You will all see the truth when Season 3 airs. xx" she added.
Teresa took to Twitter after Life & Style rolled out a cover story claiming tension and infidelity within her marriage. Meanwhile, Radar Online landed in the crosshairs after reporting that a jealous Teresa tussled with her sister-in-law, Melissa Gorga, during a Posche boutique fashion show at the Brownstone, claiming "you could have cut their tension with a knife."

Danielle Staub Spins More Publicity

Danielle Staub has a direct line to Radaonline, just as the Manzos talk to TMZ.

All these stories are created and put out there by none other than Danielle Staub. The"media frenzy" only exists in Danielle's head.

from Radar"

 Danielle Staub is at the centre of a television tug of war with major cable networks vying to sign her, RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned. "Danielle has been taking meetings with networks and production companies and so far there's a solid offer from a major network," a source told RadarOnline.com. That cable channel - VH1- happens to showcase numerous hit reality shows. On Thursday, Danielle's team also met with her former network Bravo, which she called home for two years as a New Jersey Housewife.

Although Bravo has expressed interest in the spin-off, the network has not made a formal offer, RadarOnline.com's source said. She has also met with A&E, WE tv and CBS, RadarOnline.com has learned. The source said: "Everyone's interested because it's all about the star behind the reality star-her life as a mom, manager, musician, her relationships and her private life."

Bravo has no interest in a Danielle Staub spin-off. In fact, they refused to help her with her recent financial difficulties.  Spin on, Danielle.

Danielle Staub: Confusing

Confusing because I can never decipher fact from fiction when Danielle Staub of the New Jersey Housewives speaks. I still can’t figure out if this is the tape Steve Zalewski  her boyfriend from last season, tried to release or not. 

Danielle Staub, 47, just spoke to HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY about her sex tape scandal! The mother of two and author of The Naked Truth, tells us that she’s been living a real life nightmare! “I had a sexual relationship that was supposed to remain private,” says Danielle. “I was approached and I’ve been being blackmailed for quite some time and there’s NOTHING I could do to shut it down.’

Danielle tells us despite recent reports that say she leaked her own sex tape are completely false.

“I would never release my own sex tape. I would never do such a thing,” she says adamantly. “I’m already in the media and we’re in season on the show [RHONY] so why would I do something like this?”

Stills from the sex tape were obtained by TMZ and there was speculation that the video looked to be of high quality insinuating that Danielle staged the video intentionally so she could release it.

“It’s not true that I made the film to be released to the public,” she says. “I’m holding the camera in my hand and taking pictures of myself so I don’t know why people think the footage is high quality.”

The New Jersey mom of two tells HollywoodLife.com that despite everything she’s holding her head high.

“I feel like sh*t,” she says. “It bothers me but I’m not ashamed. I’m a woman … I had a sexual relationship that was supposed to remain private and the fact that it’s not private shows the type of society this is. I’m not ashamed of my body or myself. I have thick skin … this wasn’t intended for anyone to see.”

Danielle also tells us the comment about her comparing her sex tape to Kendra Wilkinson’s was taken out of context.

“The only time I left my house was for Starbucks and I was approached and asked about Kendra’s tape,” she says. “I was asked if I thought mine was better and I said I can’t judge hers, I haven’t seen hers but I was in mine and I hope mine would be better.”

Danielle says she will not be pressing charges or taking this to court.

“What can I do. You can’t stop things once it hits the air,” she says. “Am I going to spend my days in court or move on with my life? I’m going to move on.”

Above all Danielle reveals she knows in her heart she did nothing wrong and she’s not going to apologize for this.

“I would prefer not having this kind of attention,” she says. “I don’t care what people think of me anymore … It was brought to my attention that I’m getting more world wide attention than the oil spill and this shows you that if society thinks I’m the one that’s messed up then you’re wrong.”

Danielle Staub’s Book

Kevin Maher, Danielle Staub’s aka Beverly Merrill’s first husband has been talking again. He is the inspiration for the book “Cop Without a Badge”, in which he exposes her criminal past. His credibility, however, is as questionable as hers.

"Because she was on this thing to find out who her biological mother was. About a week later, they came back and they told me, 'we can't get it. Those records are sealed. No one can get it.'"
Despite the fact that even Maher's D.E.A. connections couldn't get access to her adoption records, Staub has claimed to know much about her birth parents.

"A source close to Danielle" told DBKP that the Bravo star claimed her father was a Catholic priest who got a teenaged girl pregnant in Italy. According to the source, Staub claimed her father was then murdered and her mother fled to Pennsylvania where she gave birth to Danielle and then placed her in an Italian Catholic adoptive family.

But, the report points out that according to Staub's recently deceased adoptive mother's obituary, she was a member of The Christian and Missionary Alliance Church, a fundamentalist Christian organization with no association with the Catholic Church.
Also, the surname Merrill, according to the report, isn't Italian. The name has roots in "Scandinavian Viking, English, French-Breton or Irish origins" according to the blog's research.

But what of Staub's Catholic priest father who was murdered?  DBKP says it used several sources and couldn't find one Catholic priest who was murdered in "Italy, Sicily or anywhere else across the globe" in 1962, the year of Staub's birth or even the year before her birth.

Yet, according to the description of Staub's autobiography on Amazon.com, Staub changed her story again. The book's description drops the Catholic priest father and says, "her mother was pressured by her well-to-do family to leave Italy and not return until after she'd put her baby up for adoption."

Whateva, Danielle

Speaking of crazy, Kelly Bensimon has had a case of twitter-mania since Thursday's episode aired.

Her latest tweet:

New Jersey Housewives talk to Kevin Maher

Tardy to this party!

From Realitytea:

The Real Housewives of New Jersey have yet to call a truce with their co-star Danielle Staub.

The New Jersey Star-Ledger is reporting that some of the New Jersey housewives including Teresa Guidice and Jacqueline Laurita (photographed above) decided to have dinner with Danielle’s ex husband Kevin Maher, who also happens to be the man behind “Cop Without A Badge” — the book that outed Danielle’s past as an escort and drug user.

Kevin is the man on the far right, and the man on the far left is Charles Kipps, who also helped write the book. Also at this dinner were Joe Giudice, Chris Laurita and Albie Manzo, the son of Caroline Manzo.

read excerpts from Cop Without A Badge

So what was the point of all this? Well it was all apparently to get answers about Danielle’s past. Danielle had denied being a “coke whore” and claimed Kevin “brutalized and terrorized” her during their brief marriage. A claim Kevin doesn’t deny, saying, “I did hit her. I’m not proud of it.”

Well after this dinner, Jacqueline tweeted, “everything was answered, i have clarity. moving on now!” She later added, “Just so this talk of crazy ends. Ex took a polygraph to clear his name and crazy is a big time liar. That’s my closure. Let’s all move on.” Not to be outdone by Jacque, Teresa also tweeted the following – “omg what am i hearing, music to my ears…she is certifiable…”

Danielle then tweeted the following:

“@chris_lala @jillzarin @jaclaurita eating dinner with an admitted Rat and wife beater? Did you even read his book?”

“Jacqueline is in a desperate dark place she told ms everything about her family still hiding behind my past she’s miserable.”

Announcing Absurd to Sublime.Net

 

 

Here’s the dilemma:  Wordpress.com won’t let bloggers monetize, and Blogspot, owned by Google, won’t communicate.

As the old saying goes...you get what you pay for. Absurdtosublime.blogspot.com was removed by Google on April 14, at 2:00pm. At the time, I had 230000 hits, and over 200 posts. No spam or viruses were found on the site. 

I never received an explanation from Google.  Did someone in Orange County  known for tampering around with blogs, newspapers and message boards have a hand in this? Perhaps.

Anyway, I launched REALLY ABSURD as a temporary blog while I considered my options.  My option: Purchasing my own domain.

ABSURDTOSUBLIME has been a difficult and time consuming venture. One thing about blogspot, they do make it easy!  I have had many false starts, and I’m still having glitches and problems.  But it’s up and running.

Timely and interesting posts about The Real Housewives Franchise and all the wacky characters can be found at the new blog.  Wordpress.com linkers, some of the old blogspot links are irretrievable, many are posted at Boxxet and Zimbio. Blogspot: Many will link back to really absurd, at least the older posts will.. The Gretchen Rossi/Jay Photoglou/ Slade Smiley  story is still at MORE ABSURDITIES

Thank You for making this move with me.

Danielle Staub Hypes Allegations of Drug-Riddled, Criminal Past

Is Danielle Staub really a cocaine-snorting former stripper with a criminal record? We don't know for certain.

But is this Real Housewife of New Jersey a perfect pitchwoman for her reality show? No doubt about it.

Interviewed on The Today Show this morning, Staub didn't shy away from stories in Cop Without a Badge, the 1995 memoir that allegedly details her shady life in Miami under the alias "Beverly Merrill." Instead, she used the book as a means to promote tonight's new episode.

“I can only touch on [the rumors],” Staub told host Hoda Kotb. “I can just say, it’s out there and it will be addressed. And I will definitely touch on all the subjects that are crucially in need of touching on at the time when the time is right.”

Translation: the time will be right each week on The Real Housewives of New Jersey!

Staub, who was reportedly arrested in the 1980s for her involvement in a kidnapping, said of such a rumor:

"It's not that I don't want it known, I just think there's a time and place for everything and it was deemed by Bravo that now was my time... [but] this was way before I got married - way before I had children. And maybe people can watch and see how it unfolds. Because I think people are go to be shocked."

Will we actually have all questions answered on tonight's new episode? Of course not. A good drama knows how to suck in its audience and leave viewers wanting more.

"You won't have them answered for - actually until maybe next season. Who knows..." said Staub, already doing her best to solidify a spot on the show for next year.

She's good. Staub must have gone to the Spencer Pratt school of public relations.

Beverly Merrill,aka Danielle Staub, stated in the last episode that “only one person knew about the book”.  The publication has been out of print for many years.

Speculation:

Gerald Staub, the current ex, attempting to get out of paying the divorce settlement.

Bravo TV Production…what a ratings booster!

Jacqueline Laurita,  in the spirit of wanting to fit in with the Manzo family, may have told Dina.

Kevin Maher, the sleaze ball first husband, for his 15 minutes of fame.

From  NJ.com:

Ex-husband from Danielle Staub's stripper past astonished to learn about 'Real Housewives' - Celebrities - NJ.com

“Meanwhile, retired Carlstadt detective Robert Colaneri, also featured in the book, confirmed that Merrill is in fact Danielle Staub. "I spoke with her one time, only because I think she was dancing in Shakers, and Kevin had gone in there. After she saw Kevin and was nervous, she called up the police department ... I think that was the last contact."

Both Colaneri and Doherty says Kipps wants to try to get the out-of-print book back into circulation as a paperback.

"What a great summer read it would be," Colaneri says. "With this kind of publicity, it might be the push it needs." Or you could just pick up a copy on eBay. Minimum price: $61 and climbing.”

Kevin Maher Giving Exclusive Story to “Star”

 

• from the Gawker

  

• We tracked down Kevin Maher, the former FBI informant and ex-husband of Danielle Staub whom he called a "coke whore." He's under a "contract" with Star for the exclusive to his story, so couldn't really talk. But he thinks Danielle's life is in danger.

• "I've decided to give an exclusive to Star," Maher said when we called him. "That comes out Tuesday, so I can't talk until then. But yes, I was married to her. She did a lot of things that I think will put her life in danger. She was involved with the drug cartels in Cali and Medellín." That much is already clear from the promos Bravo has been running for Tuesday night's episode and Cop Without a Badge, the 1995 book about Maher's life as an informant.

  Speaking of which, copies of the out-of-print title are currently going for upwards of $100 on Ebay, and Maher says negotiations are underway for a new paperback edition. And Maher's exclusive interview with Star comes out on Tuesday, the day of the next episode of Housewives. Everybody wins!

  A representative for Bravo did not immediately return phone calls and e-mails asking for a comment as to why a television network would gleefully (and profitably!) air details of the woman's life under the pretense of a "reality" show when those details may piss off some of the violent people Staub used to run with. On the other hand, it's likely that all those details have already been aired, by Maher himself, in Cop Without a Badge (we haven't seen a full copy yet).

  Bravo's bio on Staub says "she prides herself on being one of the first women in New Jersey (and 14th person in the country) to have a Black American Express Card and her history of celebrity hook-ups is one for the record books." She was also the millionth woman in New Jersey to be a stripper and get involved in the cocaine business. Other details of Staub's past are set to be revealed on the show next week.

  UPDATE: A Bravo rep got back to us with their stock response to the Staub controversy, the most delightfully absurd work of flack lunacy we've encountered in a long, long time: "Bravo does not comment on the personal lives of our talent." Eleven words, three lies: Guess what they are!

Danielle Staub’s Mug Shot

 The alleged mug shot of Danielle Staub from The Real Housewives of New Jersey.

In the preview of next week's episode, one of the cast members holds up a book titled Cop Without A Badge, which supposedly features all sorts of dirt on Danielle's sordid past. In the book, she’s referred to as  Beverly Merrill. Is this her real name or an alias? Not sure. But what we do know is that according to the book (whose veracity cannot be vouched for), the author claims that this Beverly character had been busted for extortion, kidnapping, and possession.
