Teresa Giudice was booked to appear on today's episode of The View with her Real Housewives of New Jersey costars (and family members) Kathy Wakile and Melissa Gorga, but she refused to share the stage with them. Having not spoken with her cousin and sister-in-law since the season three reunion taping last fall,…

As 2010 comes to a close, we take a look back at the genre that dominated our television sets: Reality TV. Whether they're Housewives, Judge Judy litigants, pageant kids or Kardashians, we've laughed at them all. Here are our favorites.

In a Bravo marketing genius mashup, the ladies of The Real Housewives Of Orange County and The Real Housewives Of New Jersey were on the Isaac Mizrahi/Iman hosted Fashion Show last night. Let the bitchery begin!

Would you like to dine at The Brownstone? Shop at Posche? Bask in the glow of the incompletely-lit sign of Danielle Staub's strip-mall plastic surgeon's office? Then The New Jersey Housewives Tour is the next bus you should catch!

On last night's episode of South Park, Jersey-based reality stars—like the Real Housewives and Snooki—moved into the Colorado town, wreaking havoc by flipping over tables, starting fights in hair salons, and partying in hot tubs.

The Housewives flunkie is currently filming Social, described as a "re-imagined Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous," with Staub as the Robin Leach, visiting "homes of fabulous friends and attending events ranging from birthday parties to black tie affairs."

During Fashion Week, we've been milling around the tents, going to off-site shows, Fashion's Night Out events and sneaking backstage to find out how much people—designers, stylists, editors, celebrities, Real Housewives—pay for their shoes.

Caroline Manzo has been dragged into the legal battle between Danielle Staub and her ex-husband Kevin Maher—the guy who wrote the now infamous Cop Without a Badge—being deposed on his behalf in his Federal defamation lawsuit against Staub.

In this week's compilation of pop culture crap, Naomi Campbell is a huge Real Housewives fan, Fantasia gets real with Wendy Williams about her suicide attempt, and Jerry Lewis is a grumpy old man.

After two seasons filled with table-flipping, hair-pulling, and armed guards, the ladies of New Jersey spent part two of the reunion bickering, playing with a disembodied head, and ultimately—to the surprise of everyone—kissing and making up.

After nearly a month of speculation, Bravo has officially announced that Danielle Staub will not be returning to Real Housewives. NYC, Atlanta, and O.C. will also experience major cast changes. Plus, a preview Atlanta's new season after the jump.

Melissa Gorga—Teresa Giudice's sister-in-law—has reportedly signed on for the third season of RHONJ, with cameras following her around for the past few weeks, much to Teresa's chagrin, as the two women are said to be enemies.

It was discovered last week in court—where the Giudices tried to stop the auction of the contents of their McMansion—that Teresa spent $60,000 on furniture just days after filing for bankruptcy. Is that even legal?

The Real Housewives of New Jersey reunion doesn't air for a week, but—judging by this preview clip—it'll be a doozy. Inside, video of all the screaming, threats of violence, actual violence, and storming out you could possibly handle.

Many weeks, we come across stupid stuff on TV that might fall through the cracks. In Mixed Bag, we'll collect those odds and ends, for a multimedia compilation of pop culture crap.

Last night's premiere was everything I was hoping for. One woman was stood up by a man she met on a social networking site, and then later there was a bitchfest in a beauty salon.
