Has RHONJ Found A New Cast Member?
With Season 4 of RHONJ soon coming to a close, it is expected that production has already started work on Season 5. AllAboutTRH reported exclusively last month that producers were already on the hunt for new housewives, and it looks like the internet rumors have officially started.
ThyBlackMan.com reports that a very wealthy New Jersey socialite by the name of Alisa Maria is joining the cast on the next season. Rumor has it that Alisa is friends with Kathy Wakile and Teresa Giudice and has worked with Melissa Gorga. She is a very successful entrepreneur who has her own lines of jewelry, accessories and other fashion items, but this is where it gets interesting. There is speculation of a current feud going on between Alisa and Melissa! It seems like Alisa would be a great addition to spice things up on RHONJ and change the storyline a bit for once!
I did some minor investigating and found Alisa on Twitter (@ALISAMARIA1) and noticed that she follows the current housewives as well as a few of the Giudice family members. It also appears that she is close to Heather Robinson, Kathy Wakile’s friend, who has made some appearances throughout Season 4 and was also rumored to be a potential new housewife.
In my opinion, Alisa fits the mold perfectly! She is successful, appears to have that Jersey over-the-top glamorous lifestyle that we’ve come to love, and if rumors are true, she clearly has no problem bringing the drama. It leaves me to wonder what the Manzo’s and Laurita’s role would be on the upcoming season if this is the route the show is taking! Do you think Caroline and Jacqueline will be asked to return for Season 5?

AllAboutTRH Meets RHONJ Star Teresa Giudice
I heard also that Penny – Teresa and Kim D friend has been asked!
I think that Jacqueline and Caroline will be returning for season 5. The producers will want a T team to go against current cast to make it look like they are being fair to Teresa….. It would be nice to see someone new take on the bullies.
I too hope that Penny is also on it. The producers (can you say new producers along with HQ and Bravo) know that the old formula is done and they need to go after the Manzo’s and the Lauritas. Yes I believe that Alisa is friends with Kathy (probably did her hair at the salon), but aren’t what you call good friends. I think they truly want to see Jax and Chris get their due because of the massive fraud that they did looting that company and putting it in bankruptcy. They want that out in the public and story and thats the reason why they want her to stay.
Buck Henry, I love your comments on Stoopid Housewives regarding blk water, so I do hope you’re right about this. I hope this friend of Kathy’s isn’t really a friend because as it appears now, having another friend for the bullies, only means a beatdown for Teresa. If this bully crap against Teresa, her husband and children continues into season five, that is it. I am done with this crap. Enough of Teresa being forced into a suicide.
Enough of Teresa being forced into a suicidal depression.
It’s a fact that most people who smile thru their problems, are very depressed and have thoughts of suicide. I don’t think Teresa would do this to her girls but I do believe that Teresa is very depressed.
I hope that Jacqueline and Caroline both stay, but another new wife to add drama would be great. Someone to draw all the drama (story line), off of the family brother and sister poor me shit. Who ever they bring on let hope they make Teresa life miserable, she is an annoying bitch.
These Wives from Jersey all need to be replaced. Jersey is the only state that has the most ugliest dysfunctional hag looking women that we have ever seen. I mean where the hell was Bravo looking for Wives, under a rock. Because that’s exactly what these women and there husband’s look like. And they act like they’re on crack. REPLACE THEM ALL. Trust me there will be MORE viewers. Enough is enough. These women are stuck on stupid.
Either get rid of the housewives of NJ.or get rid of Andy Cohen for not getting rid of the entire rhonj and get all new Wives.
Damn it I wanted Penny on the show! I am sure this person is nice and all but Penny who has a business would of been a better choice. Once again WTG Bravo not!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was hoping Penny would come on board also.
If they do get rid of Whack AND DonCaro then hopefully, Penny is still in the running….
Omg. I don’t want her on this show. She’s close friends with KATHY AND HEATHER? Neeeeext! Who cares about Kathy! She needs to be replaced. She brings absolutely NOTHING to the show but ZZZZZZZZZZzzZzZzzzzzzZzzzzZzzzzZZZZZZ! I want someone like Penny who has a great marriage, has an amazing, funny husband, beautiful kids, successful, LOYAL, and isn’t close to the rest of them. She would be perfect because MeHo needs to get what is coming to her. I want to laugh and enjoy next season, and watching Penny and John would be fun! At least I’d smile and giggle because they are a hoot on Twitter, so imagine watching them in the big screen??? I would be excited again to watch this show.
Bravo, once again, only want to switch things up because of their poor display of hiring people and trying to have everyone attack Tre. It sucks that they still don’t get one of Tre’s good people on her side. It’s obvious BRAVO is scared of Penny and Johnny because they are straight shooters, and would want to spill about the dirty slut and her little shrimp.
Me too. I really do think Penny has something on Melissa. As far as the pic above goes, all I have to ask is, “Wow, she’s black?”
Breanna,
Wow, she’s black. Hmmm? Oh! Maybe that’s the real reason Bravo chose her for the show? Maybe that’s why she and Melissa do not get along? Strange that everyone thinks Melissa is black, and of course, Melissa denies this and suddenly, Out Of Nowhere, Bravo invites a black woman on RHONJ? Maybe the black woman has something to say about Melissa’s real mother? lol
I guess Kathy is growing tired of sucking up to Melissa and she’s now in a divide and conquer mood?
Why does being black have anything to do with the show. I mean, they do have every color and kind in Jersey people!!! That comment is racist and silly.
And Rosalie,, newsflash….black people do sometimes get along. It wouldn’t possibly be the reason she and Melissa don’t get along or why Bravo is considering her. Durrr.
Sherri, ITA, that is seriously nasty comment, who cares if Melissa is half black, 3/4 black, whatever, I don’t get what that has to do with anything!? Rosalie Marie, that is an ignorant comment and darn close to racist!!
This lady is great. Thanks for the diversity Bravo! I hate to say this because I will not watch any mone but, being that she is Kathy’s friend and has drama with Melissa, I think they are trying to phase Tre out. She is no longer friend with any of them and I just don’t see them filming together.
We need her. everytime the Manzo’s and Kathy and her husband starts talking, I zone out, I just can not take them. Boring. Joe Gu, Joe Gor (even though I don’t like either of these guys), keep me entertained. But the serious Manzos just are not entertaining (including the husbands and the kids with the exception of Ashley).
Free Kroy, I agree with you regarding the Manzo’s. I can’t stand when any of them appear. I can’t concentrate on them because they are so boring. I don’t give a shit if Lauren is angry at herself because she can’t keep the candy and soda out of her mouth. I can’t stand the ‘boys’ because I do think they are mentally impaired and they to are very boring. Caroline is too damned bitchy and boring. Watching she and her husband sitting together on a couch discussing the old days is just zzzzzzzz. lol
Is Alicia Maria Italian. Maria most definitely is an Italian last name. It is extremely common in the south, but she does not look Italian. Then again neither does Melissa Gorga.
Jennifer, maybe that’s why Alicia Maria is going to be on the show. It looks like it’s Melissa’s turn to go down. lol.
Don’t like the fact she is friends with jealous/ two faced/ dishonest Kathy..
Me either! But we know the show always makes these “friend” connections just to introduce them onto the show. So hopefully thats all it is. Ill take her over Caroline and her gross kids any day!
This is the woman Melissa got into with at the party Sherrie Shepard was at.
What exactly happened at that party? I never heard pf anything like that!!!
do tell redvette!!!! damn how do you get all these dets?
I hope not, and I hope this woman doesn’t join either. The show needs a balance, and I think Penny fits perfectly.
I hope Caroline & Jaquelyn NEVER return!!!
We need some new faces and story lines. From recent twitter feuds it seems as though Bravo has made their decision about casting Penny. She will not be cast for season 5. Also her supposed friendship with the Giudices is now in Question. I think the greeks blew any chance of Penny being cast once they took to Twitter to use as a platform for their campaign to be cast.
I agree with this. I was totally turned off by them begging people to contact BRAVO. They even asked us to send smoke signals. I guess its not much different than what Melissa did, but i dont like Melissa so why bring on another like her? Anyway, ill be happy with this lady as long as she is the real deal and Caroline gets fired!
Agreed. We need a whole new story line to revive the show. Dont sign on more fame whores. And get rid of the existing fame whores.
Queen is the one reporting his information. He is good friends with Lookers make up due. He used many of the same words and claims that Lookers did of the details of last years fashion show were relieved. He also reported last week while Andy was away on vacation that Andy was calling Teresa supporters a nasty name. Personally I don’t believe anything that queen reports. He has to be one of the nastiest people on twitter with his C**T Awards. I think as we get closer to the end of S4 certain people are becoming more and more aware that they will be caught in a pack of lies and are upping the drama against Teresa including the whole lie about Teresa never calling for Antonia’s birthday.
Isn’t Alisa Marie that person Lookers cover in a drink at Heather’s party. Sherri Shepard was at the party and saw everything that happened.
that’s the one Melissa and Kathy had words with.
This Queen of whatever is a real trouble maker, Yikes!! This person started the twitter rumors about Teresa threatening to sue Bravo over this episode and that Bravo went ahead and fired her. Then started all this stuff about Penny and Johnny and Teresa and wrote a real nasty incritma. tweet on her TL. This is all really nasty. This Queen person says they have a NJ connection/ source,( people are assuming a x bravo producer, or a current bravo producer) that has fed her all this damaging info on Teresa and Penny and Johnny. This has in my opinion taken all this crap to a really crazy level, and to me is all gossip/ rumors, it’s ugly and nasty.
i was always under the impression that melissa and her sisters were the queens source. i wish they would just skip to tge reunion. all the fighting and backstabbing, leaks and sources have ruined the show. not to mention jac spoiling the entire storyline… and watching a family try to destory each other is not entertainment . its too serious to be fun.
I agree SayWhat?? All this shit has gotten too damn much!!
I happen to think Melissa’s sisters and Melissa make up guy are that Queens source. I think she/ he wants everyone to think it’s some ‘ big deal from bravo, like she/ he is ” in the know” but I think it’s those pions.
Like I said to me it’s all freakin gossip and rumors, bullshit!!
Until someone, anyone is willing to reaveal their source and quit the bullshit secret squirrel shit, and give up all the shit they have on EVERYONE, No hold barred, they I will beleive it.. But until then.. I call BULLSHIT!!
Mel’s makeup guy, @GeorgeMiguelC, HeatherRobinson, SheilaGiudice3 and Jac’s mom BGrippe, have all been tweeting with Queenz.
It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out, that they are most probably feeding Queenz info, along with someone at Bravo. It could also be one of the Bravo producers, that have been fired.
On to another topic, RoxyPoxy is tweeting again, saying that her story, (having an affair with Chris Laurita)is coming out in InTouch this week. She claims that she had to move after changing her phone# seven times. She said Monday, but InTouch only comes out on Wednesdays, and it was not in this weeks copy. (I bought it to see the story on Teresa)
I’ll believe that when I see it, and speaking of Chris Laurita, a person on twitter is now claiming that he is the one in the Mafia. Who Knows???
They are. Queen tweets Kim Perrella every morning. Queen is not significant enough for Bravo she has too few followers to be significant.
Queen of whatever is a known troublemaker on Twitter and if there is drama he/she is right in the middle. Queen has been in more conflicts than anyone else. Waiting for Honey Badger to come and call us all liars though, she is the person is supposedly the loyal follower!!
who is I meant
I agree Breeberry
Not really Honey knows Queen is a bitter pill to swallow. Honey is fair minded about Queen
I was agreeing about this Queen of whatever..I have no idea who this honey person is.
Apparently she is friends with melissas makeup artist who viciously attacks Teresa on twitter. If Teresa doesn’t get a friend on the show I won’t be able to stomach watching another season of bullying.
As long as Bravo allows Mego to spend the next season on the hot seat, I’ll watch. I don’t give a rats ass if they unearth the richest, most controversial, over-the-top socialite in Jersey – if its another season of bashing T, I’m out.
As far as Kathy and Bitchie are concerned – who cares? Kathy is boring and Bitchie is gross. I’m over them.
I would also like to see Bravo roast Jax and the Manzos, but it will never happen.
LifeisGood- I agree with your comment! It is clear Bravo does not listen to the majority of fans when it comes to NJ for some reason especially because without us, they have no viewers! each season it gets more frustrating to watch. Most of the cast is unpleasant , whiny, fake, lie, bitter.. every thing that we do not want to watch! The show took an ugly turn the minute the Gorgas and Wakiles arrived on top of Caro and her kids trying to mastermind cameras and producers. Its just disturbing now. It really bothers me that they have manipulated and played with people’s real life relationships.
I think they will roast themself when they are fired and dont have the attention from BRAVO. They will realize no one is interested in their get rich quick schemes and go loco like Jill Zarhin.
The only difference is Jill had money before she became ensnared in Bravo’s Chess game and she will continue to. Remember Jill (&bobby zarin) was the wealthiest “housewife” (not by her own reckoning -not even she is that tacky). Melissa, joe Gorga, Kathy & (blech) Rich will return to obscurity without a dime to their name. Save the change second rate club owners throw to have Melissa “perform”.
O what problems are rought when we think public adoration can be bought.
Alisa Maria is handled (or was) by Melissa’s former PR company, Illuminations, or something like that. Didn’t some guy also write a scathing email or something about the PR company and Melissa? Alisa Maria is or was part of that. I think she was being promoted as a stylist or fashion designer.
You are right. I went to her website it is pathetic tabloid page. She didn’t even pay a professional to make it. It looks awful. I have never heard of her as a socialite in NJ. Who was she married to or is she marrie?
Married…
A lot of humors on twitter. Who knows. I definately think they will add a housewife. I think the Caroline has something going on. The storyline has to change or the ratings will fall
I really wish Dina would come back
I would love to see her call MeHo and others out .. she would do it tastefully 
In other news, did anyone catch the Manzos were all at a wedding together yesterday? I would love to know if Dina told Big Red to go scratch, lol!! Bravo: BRING DINA back,plus a new girl or 2..lol
I agree with you Michie… but Dina, I believe, has to much integrity to put herself in the middle of the bacteria laden waters of Bravo TV.
I would love, although, to see her make continual ‘guest appearances’, i.e. “friend” of housewives.
That would be interesting!
O yes it would, and you are right! she does have integrity..guess thats why she left in the first place.
Im not really into this potential new girl- she is friends/friendly on her twitter with the evil makeup artist, the one they call george miguelc- MeHo’s little sidekick! So this would be horrid if she is the new one.. UGH WTH is wrong with Bravo? Why do they have to be so hostile with RHONJ?
By backing Melissa they wrote their own ticket to obscurity and off the show! Anyone can see that coming! Teresa it is the star. If you won’t film with her you’re writing yourself off the show
I don’t have any idea for sure who Bravo is hiring but I sure hope and pray I know who they are firing. I cannot stomach Caroline or Jacqueline any longer. Did anybody watch the Manzo-thon on Bravo this week-end? What was the reasoning behind that? Nothing Bravo does makes sense anymore. They are so crazy about the Gorgas that it makes me think they want to feature them. You know, maybe Bravo needs to clean house with their producers. That is where the problem lies. I am totally thru with #RHONJ and am just waiting for next season to see what happens.
Oh that was so ridiculous…. Manzothon (gag). The show is so over if they don’t make cast changes.
Re the girl people think may be a replacement – if that is that girl Melissa had a fight with it could be interesting. All the more if she is friends w Kathy because that will isolate Melissa and cost her the only true friend who films with her on the show. (note the,manzos don’t film w her much, do they? I mean considering they’re such good friends).
Re penny & Johnny I agree they kinda wrote their own ticket by shouting too loud that they would take Melissa down. I mean, at this point they’ve kind of played their hand too hard and said too much for a storyline to be a “surprise”. Too bad they sounded like a fun couple.
Re the Queen – I highly doubt that Andy would e calling Teresa supporters horrible names. That just doesn’t ring true. But who knows
I welcome Alisa! They need a housewife that already has her own life established. It would be nice if she came in as a neutral player and then let’s see what naturally happens with the other women. I am so relieved that Penny is not coming on season 5. Sorry to her supporters but she was not selling her real self which probably would have got her cast but more a Melissa hating, Tre loving version with lots of secret info. Please Bravo do something. I’m bored to death.
Thank you JS for saying that, I agree 100%! If she has dirt on Melissa why didn’t she come forward and defend defend her “friend” Teresa when she went behind Teresas back and got on the show? Penny is the one who set Teresa up at the fashion show and let Tre take the fall for it!! Penny is a shameless famewhore just like Melissa. JMO.
Sorry meant to say Penny set Melissa up and let Tre take the fall!! My apologies!!
What? I just posted and it came up under the name JS again. I should have checked but didn’t think to because as far as I knew that problem was taken care of. This poor woman’s private email along with others come and go from my computer. Roxy, this really shouldn’t be happening. I will not be happy if my private info is lingering somewhere. Whoever handles your tech support really needs to fix this. It is unacceptable for a blog as popular as yours Roxanne. I will not apologize for my being disgruntled either.
At this point i hope definitely caroline is gone. Want melissa and kathy gone bkz i dont like the sneaky way they got on. Of course keep tre and BRING BACK DINA!!!
This girl is everything Melissa wishes she was
I hope Alisa is not a housewife! Alisa is awful, truly evil. I’m not a MeGo fan at all, but I don’t want her called out that bad…
Alisa’s fashion line includes furs and snake skin. A few years ago, I watched a video of how these skins are harvested, and it was truly distubing. In many cases, these animals and reptiles are still alive. The ones that aren’t are starved to loosen their skin, and they are housed in cages; 100′s of little animals stacked on top of each other.
Alisa is aware of the suffering these animals experience, and she doesn’t care one bit.
I would rather watch sourpuss Caroline, and unstable Jacquline then have Alisa. Honestly, if she is a housewife I will stop watching Bravo all together.
Awh, that is SO SAD!
I’ve seen many documentaries and videos where they throw turkeys in this hot ventilating room and suffocate them until they could barely make anymore sounds. Then, they torture them til they are completely dead. How sad is that? I also saw where they cut their furs like tigers, lions, foxes, even dogs for their skin. The animals would get show, and they would start making ‘HELP’ sounds and it would sound like they were crying! It’s so sad to watch! Animals can’t even speak for themselves, and it’s truly disturbing how people mistreat animals. I DESPISE people who makes these furs and continue to skin animals alive. Anything for them to make money. It even hurts watching people wear real fur.
I love my animals, and I would go crazy if someone tried to skin my dogs alive!
That is horrible
I know. I love animals! Sometimes I love them more than humans, and this Alisa Maria is a bad edition to the show. She’ll make it worse, and I’ve seen her in videos before. She doesn’t seem genuine and kind-hearted at all from what I’ve watched.
No no no now im sad ;(
I like Alisa Maria…she seems very business minded and FABU
Ok.. this chic is all wrong for Jersey Housewives! She hangs with Kathy , is great friends with George Miguel from Hell, and I see no evidence really of her being Teresa’s friend. This is not looking good guys if she is joining. And if its true she is, is she replacing someone? I am not liking the possible outcomes here! Yes a great edition if she was neutral party, but doesn’t seem she is
Oh wait! Is alisa that horrid “stylist” who was briefly in one episode and said tre was jealous and she ( alisa) was styling Melissa too? Inferring that she also styled Tre’s. Oh ugh. Maybe not…..
Although I want the Manzos and Lauritas to leave the show, I think it’s too risky to change the cast so suddenly. They did that in TRHNY and the rates took sometime to increase. Viewers like drama!! So, maybe they’re going to add 1 or 2 people next season, see how it works, and then they’ll get rid of people with low acceptance from the public, like the Gorgas and Walkiles. If the Manzos and Lauritas really want the spot on the show, I’m sure they will make up with Teresa.
Pure human compassion on my part would like to see Jac off the show and into therapy. As for the Manzo’s they could all get a one way ticket to you know where. I will not watch if the Caroclown and her minions are back period! I would like to see Penny though. Kathy is irrelevant at this point.
I didn’t know Caroline Manzo has a book slated for release in 2013. I must have been tardy for the party, because I was shocked when it popped up as a recommendation after purchasing Andy Cohen’s book Amazon. That being said, I am sad to say I bet she will be back to promote the book in some way. I used to genuinely like her, but this vendetta she has against Teresa makes her come off as a cold and jealous person.
what would caroline write a book about? how to ruin your chikdrens life? this will only further prove to caroline that she will alwwys be in teresas shadow bc she wont get anywhere newr the sales teresa gets
both penny and alisa are trying to get on the show and this is all a pr sting to try to garner support to make it happen. I think neither one of them should be on.
I wish they would get rid of all the NJ housewives and start over. Hire an entire new cast with no ties to the old cast.
I am over all of them and this repeative story line.
You’re right! Its all BS already. Every week is the same thing.
You are absolutely right! I could not have said it better myself! And not to hire any family members if they do!
I could care less who BRAVO adds as a new housewife, I just wish they would get rid of LARGE MARGE her 3 kids and tag along GREGGY BOY!!! Every scene they are in they are talking down to someone with that superior attitude they all have.
AGREED, COULD NOT SAY NO MORE.. AGREEED JEN
As long as Caroline Manzo gets the boot, I’m good with ANYONE. I can even take Melissa, Kathy and Jac, but god, get rid of Caroline!
is that tamera in yellow??? what did she get done!!??!! i almost didnt recognize her!
Thr first one they should get rid of is Caro. She’s miserable and brings me down every week. I just want to jump through the tv screen and throttle her and her superior attitude. Then her kids who are nothing but little mama’s boys selling their dirty sludge water and Lauren lap band is no better than her mother. Miserable cow. Jac next. What a lousy friend she turned out to be and I seriously think she needs a shrink. Besides shouldn’t she be fired for not showing up at the reunion last year? Then there’s Kathy who brings absolutely nothing to the show and her husband Rich.ugh don’t get me started on him. Pig.
I really enjoyed the show in seasons 1 and 2. These last 2 seasons have been positively painful to watch, not to mention boring. I know Danielle was a loon, but the drama was intense. I miss those days. Unless they bring in some new people, NJ is headed for the scrap heap. I absolutely will not watch next season if it’s just more of the same tired story line. ” I hate Teresa, do you hate Teresa, let’s bring down Teresa, Teresa, Teresa, Teresa!! Is there nothing else to talk about besides Teresa? Oh ya, blk water, meho’s pathetic singing, now I hear Caro’s writing a book. About what? Teresa? Enough already!
This used to be my favorite HW show. Now it just sucks.
I wanted Penny.
I would like to see the whole Manzo Laurita clan gone. Caroline does nothing but cause the drama and brings the whole show down. I for one will not watch BRAVO if they return.
Yeah she fits the mold perfectly, but if she’s friends with KATHY AND HEATHER, then I don’t want her on the show :/
It’s obvious that Jacqueline was fired.
I think Bravo would have been smart to replace Kathy and Melissa. They are too vile and need to go.
