As many know, Real Housewife of New Jersey Teresa Giudice is one of the tackiest bitches ever. She’s also, incidentally, dumb as a doornail. In between her on-going “Prostitution Hoa-ah” or “Crack Hoa-ah” feud with Danielle Staub, Teresa also likes to dress her baby in leopard print heels and show off her multi-million dollar home – which is probably about to be foreclosed on. Teresa has done God knows how many photo shoots with In Touch, and they’re always entertaining. Anyway, ITW sent us these exclusive photos of Teresa’s home, and she’s talking about her great decorating style:
Teresa Giudice is one busy lady. So it’s not surprising that when she’s not filming The Real Housewives of New Jersey or promoting her new cookbook, Skinny Italian, she’s relaxing at her multimillion-dollar New Jersey mansion with her husband of nearly 10 years, Joe, and their four daughters.
“My house is very warm — even though it’s big, it’s very inviting and that’s what I love,” explains Teresa of her custom-built, 12,000-square-foot, six-bedroom, six-bathroom house.
“We designed our house knowing we wanted to use every room,” says Teresa, who adds that she loves everything about her home, from the forged iron railings in her glamorous, two-story entrance, to the oversize plasma TV embedded in the wall above the ornate fireplace in her great room.
“We had our house built with nothing but marble, granite and onyx,” she says, “I don’t think you can ever have too much of that. I could’ve had even more,” she says.

Eh. CB called the whole thing tacky, but I’m not there yet. Is it in good taste? Of course not. Is it what I choose for myself? Nope. But is it horrible? Not really. It’s just cheesy and showy and reeks of new (illegal) money.
But does anyone else thing this reads like a real estate listing? How are they going to pay off all of their millions of dollars in debt?

The most notable feature of the house is not the “forged iron railings in the glamorous two-story entrance”…. it’s the forged checks that pair of semi-neanderthal grifters wrote to “pay” for it.

The place has great bones, but the decor is way too overdone. I’m all for ornamentation in palatable measure but this level of bald ostentation is pretty tacky.

I think they’ll have trouble selling the house for what they want. If anyone had enough money to buy a house that expensive, they would not choose to buy THAT house — they would have better options available to them.

That tv looks horrible there. Put a movable cover over it if you must put it in that room – but IDK why you would put it in there. I’m sure there is a more casual ‘family room’ or media room. Just terrible. And she has a baby? Good luck with a child and marble floors. Does anyone have any idea how slippery marble floors are, especially when they get a bit of water, or juice, or baby drool on them? Think cartoon and banana peel.

Her house is beautiful. I love all the marble and granite. Maybe I have bad taste but I could handle living there.
People may say nasty things about Teresa but I like her spunk. She is harmless and is just a fiesty Italian woman. Compared to a lot of the other “real housewives” she does look after her own kids, cooks and cleans rather than employing nannies and housekeepers. I just can’t hate on the gal.

As a New York Italian, I just have to say that house is firmly planted in the ninth circle of guido hell. People where I grew up would pile on the granite and marble and it always ended up looking like a hot, heaping ginzo mess.
If you visit Italy, you can see where this comes from; Italians pride themselves on their art and style, but as Tim Gunn would put it, we as a people never really learned to “edit”.

It’s bad, but that’s why we love reading about it. Honestly, I’m a bit jealous. My house is 1500 sq ft, with absolutely no granite, onyx, or marble. Or dishwasher or central air, for that matter.
So more power to her.

Kaiser,
Did you not see the last episode of ‘Housewives’, Theresa was sitting at home and talking with her husband about how Danielle spoke the truth about the house being foreclosed on. The husband did not say a word, I don’t know how far in advanced these shows are filmed but Danielle called it and Theresa went ballistic and then Jacquline’s daughter got involved (she pulled out some of Danielle’s hair) and could go to court and I cannot lie Jac’s husband laying the smackdown was awesome.
That is my mini recap for you, Kaiser. Enjoy.

From what I understand, the house is not included in the financial problems, so she ISNT losing her home.

Smells like a lot of jealousy here from the ladies who live in a box.

Waayyyyy too much curvy, ornate-ness; especially with the minimalistic plasma planted above the columnar mantel.
She says they “designed” the house, but did she also “decorate” it? If so, has she ever heard of the integration of color and the use of oppositional colors (a la color wheel)? And if she didn’t decorate it herself, their decorator will be out of business.

Teresa Giudice and her husband declared just $80,000 in income to the IRS each year for the past ten years.
Even with all their credit card debt they could not have afforded this home without earning much more which clearly means they lied on their tax returns.
In fact Teresa and her husband are under investigation by the IRS criminal unit AND by state and federal authorities for mortgage fraud.
Terea’s next big house will be THE big house

Gawd-awful. The massive mortgage fraud this couple has perpetrated seems enough on it’s own to bring down a small bank. In a year we can view photos of this Addams Family mansion boarded-up and weed covered, with no interested buyers at any price. And if there is any justice, In Touch can do a feature on how Terror-isa had decorated her cell.

Kind of getting bored with NJ-and Teresa is an immature, uneducated, tacky woman. Sorry, she may be feisty and funny, but damn girl read a book once in a while or take a class. That decorating is pretentious and gaudy like her. She acts like a 14 yr old girl with her snotty remarks-ESPECIALLY to the police that were investigating that mayhem last episode. GROW UP

She is the tackiest woman to ever grace tv…she’s lying about losing the home and the woman has serious limited intellectual functioning. She thinks that since her husband is in bankruptcy that it means she’s not. Also, the furntiture in the pictures…completely staged for the photo shoot. The house has hardly any furntiture in it because they can’t afford it.

jackson – the baby is going to crack her skull or knock out her teeth unless they foreclose quick.
ligela – she looks EXACTLY like Britney in a wig – it’s the fetal alcohol syndrome face and the frozen faraway look. She looks like a wax figurine.
I love it that she says they planned the house to “use every room.” What a concept! Now that’s economizing.
For the record, no jealousy here. With all the problems we have in the world, I truly would rather live in a tent than in a crude, ostentatious, hideous show of illegal money that came from God knows where for doing God only knows what.

@anon- That’s the way goombas’ wives think; “Oh, it’s my husband who’s in trouble, not me!”
You see this sort of style all over the outer boroughs and NJ. As soon as these people get two pennies to rub together, they slap a marble balustrade around their ordinary split level house and turn it into some sort of guido palazzo. They all want to pretend they’re the Medicis or something.

Bankruptcy allows you to protect your primary residency. So they are going to stiff everyone they owe money to and keep their house. If they are that broke then they can’t afford that house either and they will eventually lose it too. You can’t qualitfy for or afford a “multi million dollar house” on $80k a year.

If Danielle is afraid of her, she should be. This woman is not above causing scenes where she is calling someone a bitch or throwing tables because someone told her to be quiet in front of the camera.
Teresa loves drama…simple, not too bright PLUS she is a very horny woman…ergo the kennel of kids she keeps spitting out. She is every man’s dream.
I love it when she describes herself as sweet and nice…yea, just like a pit bull dog.

Why oh why does she always tilt her head in photos? Wonder if it’s because the rocks (granite?) inside her head shift and she ends up lopsided.

How can anyone filing BK who isnt really down and out (Guidices) look at themselves in the mirror? Thats why Theresa got so pissed at Danielle because Danielle called her out on her house being foreclosed on.
Wait til local businesses she didnt pay her bills on get a hold of her. I think shell be ostracized out of town!

“Why oh why does she always tilt her head in photos? Wonder if it’s because the rocks (granite?) inside her head shift and she ends up lopsided.”
Probably because her eyes are on different levels, and tilting your head makes your face look more symetrical. There are a number of actresses who do this – SJP is one I think.

Kiska – Oh please. Apparently her parents live with her and help her clean that monstrosity. The reason she was giving attitude to that party planner when the PP stuck her nose up at her for not having help was because Tereasa CAN’T afford to hire people.
I love how that PP called her out on it and Teresa tried to turn it around like she’s somehow a better person because “she” cleans that vile home herself. Ahaha

I love it when she said her husband is an entrepreneur, then pauses to ask the camera man what an entrepreneur is. Wow. They don’t get any dumber.
Oh, wait. They each declared $80k in income, yet they have millions of dollars in property. I stand corrected. Committing mortgage fraud and then bragging about it in a magazine really tops her dumb comment. Have fun in prison Theresa.

I hope RHONJ never airs its hideous face again after this season. By the way, the decor of that house embodies the quintessence of VULGAR crudeness. I can’t believe someone would pay money to decorate one room in unadorned tones of brown. Plus Teresa’s attitude is a monstrosity; unfortunately she’s passed it down to her very homely looking children

The house could be a lot worse in fairness, but it still looks like your average Cribs crap with “eggstruh” Sandra Lee tableraping thrown in.
I’ve never watched any of these “Real Housewives” nonsense so I’ve no opinion on this one’s personality, but I would say that she would do well to borrow a dress that’s not too long for her.
And who the hell wrote the In Touch blurb? If you know nothing about architecture or its terminology, then for the love of God don’t throw whatever random term you think you know in. It will make you sound like a dumbo. Case in point, the “forged iron” railings in the hallway. Forged iron you say, as opposed to what – pig iron? I double-dog-dare you to make railings out of iron that hasn’t been forged.

How much of a drain on our natural resources is a house like this responsible for? I mean the energy alone… With all that empty vertical space it would take a TON of energy to heat it. So even if the house itself is supposedly not in foreclosure I still doubt they can afford to heat the place.
And don’t get me started on the drain on the water supply…
Homes like this should be illegal. I’m all for space, but no single family needs this much space.
And umm, can you actually USE a fireplace with a TV above it? I’m assuming it’s not a working fireplace. The brown is making me nausceous.

HOUSEWIVES OF NEW JERSEY, Kim G Dishes Dirt on Danielle Staub’s love Life and Chicken Dish!
On Real Housewives of New Jersey, probably one of the only housewives who has any real money is Kim G. Tom Murro, the Celebrity magnet, caught up with Kim G and she dished the dirt on her frenemy, Danielle Staub.
After Tom met Kim G at Starbucks, they zipped around town in her $400k Ferrari, Tom riding shotgun as her boy toy, spun over to her multimillion dollar mansion to dish the gossip.
Kim G revealed the reason why she thinks Danielle Staub is now pitching for the other team is because she is having a hard time getting a guy to date her. Seriously? Kim G says Staub has slept with thousands of men, I think she might be joking but we get it. LOTS OF DUDES. You can view the interview here.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZwGZwVNxu0
One funny quote Kim G had, was she claims Danielle Staub wants a chicken dish to be named after her and HATES it when fans don’t recognize her. The problem would anyone WANT to eat the Staub chicken dish? Who wants to get food poisoning?
Kim G is actually much prettier in person and is more down to earth than the other girls. She actually looks really happy in this photo. Kim G claims she even does her own gardening. Kim G is much funnier in interviews, Bravo needs to give her better lines next season.
To check out the rest of the interview, go to the CelebrityMagnet Face Book page or Celebritymagnet.com

Its sad to say that there are many people who are also
living way beyond their means just like Teresa and her husband. And just to let you in on info that is actually
true… Teresa did have a College girl as a Nanny and doing many other things for her. she was actually in the shows when she moved in her house. Someone from her town told me that Teresa stop paying the girl for over six months. And who actually believes she cleans that house. Impossible. She would have dry hands no nails. Pleas,e I don’t think she cooks or does beds. Especially when she is out all day spending money she does not have. So take it all with a grain of salt… laugh and pray for these people… this reality show is going be the biggest mistake they made in their life. its going to hunt them and their great grandchildren. god help them.
