The Real Housewives of New Jersey premieres tomorrow night on Bravo.

Before the series airs, we're introducing readers to its key cast members: First, we previewed life in the world of Caroline Manzo.

Now, it's time to meet Danielle Staub!

"I'm not the most gorgeous woman in the world, but I'm kinda hot," Staub proudly told E! News this week. "I might just be the ultimate threat."

Reports indicate that Staub will, indeed, cause the most controversy this season. Here's what else E! has to say about the new reality TV star:

• She's 45 years old;

• She's a single mother of two;

• She's not always the most popular woman in the room: "I think I'm just a really secure woman, and sometimes, people are less than enthusiastic about having me around."

• On an upcoming episode, Staub finally goes on an actual date with a man she's been having phone sex with... for two years!

• Other Housewives accuse Danielle of a past that includes prostitution, drug cartels and kidnapping, while co-star Teresa Giudice claims that Staub has a younger man in her life, who she orally pleasures on a daily basis.

Wait... what?!? Okay. We'll be tuning in tomorrow night!

Thank goodness for Twitter! Without this asinine technological wonder, how would we ever know that a former pop icon wants to appear on Dancing with the Stars?

Last week, Debbie Gibson turned to her Twitter page to express an interest in joining the reality competition. She thanked her supporters for starting a petition to get her on the show.

"To Ashley who started DWTS petition! Thank u!" Gibson wrote. "Let's get crrrazy 1s of peeps to sign and then I'll make them aware : )"

In a latter Tweet, Gibson wrote that some people inside the Dancing with the Stars camp also want her to shake her booty on the series.

"Most of the team there wants me - 1 or 2 people are putting up a roadblock n [sic] every season my name's in the ring."

Think Gibson would make a good addition to the cast?

That's my man... so step off!

So states Cocktail in the video below, as the For the Love of Ray J winner responds to the rumor that Tila Tequila has stolen that show's star.

Why is Cocktail sitting on a bar, wearing lingerie, as she tells off Tequila? Who knows? Who cares?!?

Hey Brooklyn, check your mail when you get home. I’m sending you a douche bag.”

Daisy De La Hoya uttered these magical, threatening words to Brooklyn halfway through the latest episode of Daisy of Love.

What was the reason? And did three suitors really leave the show last night? Discover these answers and more in our Daisy of Love recap!

Daisy De La Hoya swapped a tremendous amount of spit with her suitors this week on Daisy of Love.

It's our duty, as a reality TV blog, to report that Joan Rivers won the latest edition of Celebrity Apprentice.

In last night's finale, Rivers - and her charity, God's Love We Deliver - won the top prize over her arch rival, world poker-pro, Annie Duke.

As part of her final plea, Duke said: "She called my friends Mafia and said that I was worse than Hitler. That is not professional."

Apparently, Donald Trump did not agree.

More importantly, though, does anyone actually care about this show anymore?

Tammy and Victor Jih have been crowned the winners the The Amazing Race.

The sibling attorneys, both Harvard Law School graduates, overcame numerous odds and competitors to come out on top of the show's 14th season.

They were followed to the finish line at Maui's King Kamehameha Golf Club by former NFL cheerleaders Cara Rosenthal and Jaime Edmondson and, in third place, the mom and son team of Margie and Luke Adams (the race's first deaf contestant).

Victor said he and his sister brought their "A-plus game," while Tammy pointed to an argument the pair had in the Romanian mountains as a turning point in the contest.

"I think I've proved to Victor that we think differently, but the way I think is valuable. It has helped [our relationship] progress," she said.

Move over, Buckeey! Another former Flavor of Love contestant is rumored to be starring in a sex tape.

According to less-than-reliable sources, Mr. ZZee - a mysterious, infamous amateur adult film broker - has acquired a video starring Nikki Alexander, best known to VH1 reality show viewers as "Hoopz."

This vixen actually won the first season of both Flavor of Love and I Love Money. Now, based on the description of her sex tape, she's about to win over a new series of fans.

Caroline Manzo is one of the new stars of The Real Housewives of New Jersey.

And she has a message for anyone that speaks badly about her friends and family:

"Let me tell you something about my family, we're as thick as thieves. And we protect each other to the end."

Despite such tough, threatening talk; and despite the location of the Bravo series, Manzo told E! News that she scoffs at any comparison to The Sopranos.

"We're Italian and geographically we happen to be where the Sopranos were set—brilliant marketing on Bravo's part. We have the same Italian traditions and values because Italians are all about values. But to put us in the same bed as that? On the business side of it? Stop it. That's nonsense."

Okay. So Caroline is no Carmela Soprano. Who is she?

• A mother of three, who resides in  Franklin Lakes, N.J.

• Joined on the show by her sister and sister-in-law Dina Manzo (they married brothers), another sister-in-law, Jacqueline Laurita (she married one of Caroline and Dina's brothers) and family friend Theresa Giudice.

•  Has a nemesis in co-star Danielle Staub.

• Owns a owns a real estate firm and a children's accessories company, but: "I live for my children. I live for my husband."

Note: The Real Housewives of New Jersey premieres on May 12 at 11 p.m. EST on Bravo.

Sorry, Bethenny Frankel. But Kelly Bensimon says she has every intention of returning for another season of The Real Housewives of New York City.

Despite not having received confirmation from producers that she'll be asked back, let's be realistic: Kelly's drama was the best part of season two, which concluded last week. She recently spoke on her nemesis with E! News.

"Bethenny was smart," Kelly said. "She fought with the new girl. She got press and she got airtime. She was smart. She did what she sought out to do."

The same can't totally be said for Bensimon, who claims viewers never saw her true self.

"I wish I had been more open, and I wish I hadn't been so guarded, because me being guarded comes across as not nice," she said. "I want people to come and enjoy the awesome life that I've created."

We can't resist. See you on season three, Kelly!

This is one the strangest stories we've ever covered. And we're a site that detailed episodes of For the Love of Ray J in depth!

Saaphyri, a recent contestant on I Love Money 2, has updated her Twitter page with some odd, intriguing, disturbing  news:

"If you haven't heard that I'm in jail, you know now. Yes it's true. If you like you can write me. my cousin is maintaining my twitter account."

She seems rather calm about the imprisonment, doesn't she?

Reportedly, Saaphyri is serving a three-year sentence for failure to appear in court after being arrested for stealing her uncle's identity back in 2004. That must have been one feminine-looking uncle!

Those that wanna send Saaphyri any fan mail, her new block cell address is:

Saaphyri Wanda Scott
