Teresa Giudice Adresses Bankruptcy And Auction Claims

As we reported yesterday, RHONJ star Teresa Giudice and husband Joe have been experiencing grave financial troubles this summer, and some of those claims have been bankruptcy and now her belongings are up for auction next month.

So the NJ native has finally decided to speak out about everything and not let the media do it for her. In a blog she wrote on BRAVO's website, Giudice writes that she and her husband invested in “real estate deals gone bad in a bad economy,” adding that, “we didn’t spend millions of dollars on gold toilets or private planes. We bought buildings, fixed them up. The economy crash trickled down to everyone.”

Foxy Brown Makes Her Way To Court (PHOTOS)

Female MC Foxy Brown was spotted making her way to the Brooklyn Criminal Court in New York City earlier today with a smile on her face (surprisingly).

It's being reported that Foxy Brown (real name Inga Marchand) showed up in a black Lamborghini rocking a silver Chanel purse on her arm (I don't know about yall, but I'm confused as to where the $$$ came from to afford this luxury?).

Marchand is being accused of cursing and mooning her neighbor Arlene Raymond during a fight/argument outside her home Prospect Heights home last week, which, if convicted, will violate her three year restraining order for throwing a Blackberry at Raymond back in 2007.

Marchand's lawyer Salvatore Strazzullo, told the judge, "We deny the allegations that she mooned Ms. Raymond. When it comes down to it, what a tremendous waste of the city's money this order of protection is. Ms. Marchand is innocent, absolutely innocent, she's not a stalker," he added. "Ms. Marchand is living her life for her records, for her tour and for her fans."

The judge told both parties to steer clear of one another until their next court date.

Foxy, I would just move if I were you! You have more to lose than this lady, and the constant spats are only adding to your infamous reputation.

Well, at least she looks better today. Total upgrade from THIS catastrophe.

WHO CARES!!!

There are a few people in the fashion/magazine community up in arms because Essence Magazine (dedicated to uplifting and using positive images of black women in their pages) has hired a white woman as their new fashion director.

And that new woman is: Ellianna Placas, who has worked at O: The Oprah Magazine and Us Weekly.

CLEARLY she is qualified!!!

Of the many people that are upset with this move on Essence's part is writer, stylist, and cultural critic Michaela Angela Davis who stirred up controversy when she tweeted, "It is with a heavy heavy heart I have learned that Essence magazine has engaged a white fashion director, this hurts, literally, spiritually."

Why??? It's 2010....GET FAMILIAR, LADY!!!

Lis Wu Hartwell Exits RHOA

Via BV BUZZ:

'Real Housewives of ATL' star Lisa Wu Hartwell is leaving the hit Bravo reality series. Speculation that the originating cast member from the 'ATL' franchise was leaving the show began earlier this spring when talk that she was only shooting on a limited production schedule surfaced online. Now the 38-year-old real estate mogul, who is currently married to retired NFL star Ed Hartwell, parted with Bravo "amicably" over "creative differences." "They basically wanted to script elements of Lisa's life and make her amp up the drama. She wasn't with that at all. Lisa felt like if her real life alone wasn't enough for the network, then maybe it was time for her to go," a source says.

Hartwell I'm told "feels good" about leaving the show – though her rep would not comment on our story – and apparently already has several post-'Real Housewives' gigs lined up. When season three of the NAACP Image Award-nominated series returns to Bravo in Oct., the show will feature the addition of two new housewives – attorney Phaedra Parks and former model Cynthia Bailey.

I knew this was going to happen! Lisa hasn't been in the press along with the other Housewives and to be honest, her storyline IS pretty boring (and let's not talk about that WACK husband of her's).

It's probably for the best....good riddance (she wasn't one of my faves anyway)!
