The Real Housewives of New Jersey Have Real Ties to Da Mob
'REAL' MOB STORY OF NEW JERSEY WIVES: FAMILY HAS TIES TO RUBBED OUT 'TINY' MANZO

Excerpt:
They live in a land of made men and unmade beds.
"The Real Housewives of New Jersey" are coming next month, with the latest installment of the hit reality show introducing a quintet of Garden State gals - including two with a mob pedigree.
Sisters Dina and Caroline Manzo - they married a pair of Jersey brothers - provide a real-life link to "The Sopranos" for the Bergen County-based program.
Their father-in-law, Albert (Tiny) Manzo, was executed mob-style in August 1983, after he and Gambino family soldier Peter A. Campisi were suspected of skimming from a mob casino on Staten Island.
"A couple of weeks later, they found Tiny Manzo in the trunk of his car," recalled Robert Buccino, a New Jersey organized crime expert.
The 350-pound mobster took four slugs to his torso. His naked body - the arms and legs bound in plastic - was discovered in the trunk of his parked Lincoln-Continental outside a supermarket in Hillside, N.J.
The killing was never solved.
Campisi, a made man and Tiny's partner in the casino, suffered a similar fate, Buccino recalled.
The colorful Manzo, who ran for mayor of Paterson in 1974, also owned the Brownstone Restaurant - one of the main backdrops for action in "Housewives."
His two wealthy sons, Albert and Tommy, still operate the venerable Paterson catering facility. Blond Dina and red-headed sibling Caroline are the first pair of sisters featured on the hit show.
They all live in pricey Franklin Lakes, an exclusive enclave that's home to a pair of New York sports legends - Phil Simms and Willie Randolph - and disgraced ex-NYPD boss Bernie Kerik.

GIRL, GET OUT OF MY HEAD!
I was just thinking this. It's the only question/concern I had. I was like, what the heck could they possibly be holding in their hands??? At first I thought it was a stupid question to ask so I wasn't going to say anything but now I know I'm not the only one thinking it.
ETA: I just watched part of the preview on Bravo and they don't have anything in their hands. I am disappointed.

Watch here until videos are removed.
OMG, this season looks crazy. The end of episode one showed scenes of dinner tables being overturned, allegations of prostitution, even (it sounded like) allegations of being involved with Colombian drug cartels.
Somet things remain the same: cougars, constant talk of boobs (or in NJ "Buh-beez"), spoiled kids.
Jersey Guy's blog (spoilers!)

I loved it! This season may not be as funny as the NY because I looove Bethany and her jokes but there is going to be some serious drama with the NJ girls. I'm dying to see the episode where Teresa knocks over the whole table while she's screaming "You b**ch!!"
I'm such a Bravo TV junkie!
