Cat fights. Table flips. Cocaine-addicted kidnappers.
The first season of The Real Housewives of New Jersey had it all. Therefore, it comes as no shock that another round of episodes has been ordered for this Bravo series.
"They're doing a second season, and it's going to be crazier than the first," a source told Life & Style. "It's going to explode. There's no premiere date, but everyone knows it's going to be a huge hit. The reason it has taken so long to announce is that once the show became such a hit, the women held out for much bigger paychecks."
Meanwhile, the woman at the center of the show - and in the center of the photograph above - is Danielle Staub.
Host Andy Cohen referred to Staub as a "fascinating character" during a recent interview with OK! Magazine, adding that "she certainly had a rich life that has gone in many directions.”
That rich life, of course, includes a sex tape with former flame Stephen Zawelski and five years of probation in the late 1980s for her involvement in an extortion case. Referring to Danielle's relationship with the rest of the cast, Cohen said:
“Frankly, I don’t think any the women believe half or a third or a fifth of what she says... They ain’t having dinner any time soon! They ain’t having dinner ever!"
Will you be tuning in for another season of The Real Housewives of New Jersey?

All of you need to get a grip. There are secret's in every household. The book is over 20 plus years old, and most of us are sick and tired of it, so I can imagine how Danielle must feel. You guys are NO saints yourself, and the Pope would not reward ANY of you with good medals of honor.
YOU brought the book into " the light " so my GOD, deal with it.
I'm also sick of Caroline's Holier than Thou attitude of " we are thicker than thieves, " crap. If I hear that one more time, I will put my foot through the screen.
You act like you are the first one who has ever said it when it has to do with your family, so you keep saying it.
Well, we are NOT perfect ladies, and one day something or someone in your family that has done something that you do NOT know about, will come to past. It always does. Nothing stays a secret forever, as you have found out, and exploited, and damaged a reputation concerning someone who was trying their best to put behind them and move on.
This will come back to haunt each of you OR your loved ones, as you will see. Take it from someone who knows and learned the hard way, who did something a little similar. I was told the same thing exactly. And I forgot about it. Two years later, I did pay for it. Or should I say, My son did.
What goes around, comes around, ladies. Get off your high and almighty horses, and forgive and forget, and move on. That is what Danielle was trying to do, until you ruined it.
Everyone, and I mean Everyone deserves a second chance. You are acting foolish. Trust me!!

I won't watch it without crazy, super interesting Danielle Staub's drama.
Who cares of the other women? They are boring as hell. I'd rather watch the Beverly Hillbillies.

I am waiting patiently for all of these beautiful ladies to share their lives with everyone. I cannot even say who is my favorite. They each add their own special something to the show.
Thanks ladies & Bravo TV
