Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice has stood by her husband, Joe, through a DUI arrest, eight-day jail sentence and filing for bankruptcy all while she tries to dig her family out of financial ruin. Now, Life & Style has learned that Joe has been leading a secret, double life – filled with regular visits to strip clubs.
According to a former dancer at Showoffs strip club in West Orange, N.J., Joe was a regular at the strip club before it was closed in 2006 amid accusations of prostitution. “He was always up for a lap dance,” reveals the insider. “There was a lot of hanky-panky that went down in the club’s basement,” the insider tells Life & Style. “If you had money, you could get pretty up close and personal with the strippers.”
Joe was also allegedly a loyal patron of Latin Bar in Paterson, N.J. “There was one particular waitress Joe really liked there,” recalls the insider. “She was from the Dominican Republic, about 5 feet tall with big breasts and long, dark hair. Joe would always make sure that wherever he was, he could be back in Paterson on a Friday night so he could see her.”
Back at his former real estate development office, Joe’s attention to the ladies also raised eyebrows. With Teresa nowhere in sight, he developed a very close relationship with a young female staffer who, says a onetime assistant, Joe suddenly hired despite the fact that she “didn’t seem qualified.”
Teresa, however, maintains that her marriage is strong. “I have a great husband,” she tells Life & Style. “I wake up every morning and I’m like, ‘Thank you, God.’”
Penn Badgley and Blake Lively, both 23, have ended their three-year romance, a rep for the Gossip Girl costars exclusively tells the new Us Weekly (on newsstands now).
They called it quits in mid-September.
“They’re professionals,” an insider tells Us Weekly. “They’re still good friends and hang out on the set.”
The source says that the duo — who met as preteen actors in L.A. — “kept this news to themselves for a while.”
Indeed, they have always taken a drama-free approach to their relationship.
Badgley told Us last fall that working together while dating didn’t present any problems: “Some would say it’s a double-edged sword, but in our case, we manage to balance it well.”
Even those closest to the twosome may be shocked to hear the news.
“Nobody on set had any idea,” says the insider. “They’re really just private.”
Boo! They were spotted kissing on the 20th of this month!
I have been absolutely obsessed with Mumford and Sons ever since I downloaded their amazing debut album back in June. Sigh No More is an incredible album, and if you haven’t downloaded it yet – stop what you’re doing and go buy it. Uh-may-zing.
I have loved the CD so much, I can’t think of a single song on the album I don’t like. Little Lion Man is my favorite, but Winter Winds, Roll Away Your Stone and Dust Bowl Dance are equally amazing.
When I heard they were coming to Portland, I hunted down their label and begged for tickets. The show was sold out in just a few hours, and I knew tickets would be hard to come by. I knew the show would be amazing.
Of course it was better than I could have ever imagined! I’ve seen a lot of shows over the years, and I think Mumford and Sons was the best show I’ve seen in a very long time. It’s not very often when the live show is better than the CD, and that was absolutely the case here.
Marcus Mumford, the lead singer is a force to be reckoned with. He is such a powerful performer, you can barely take your eyes off him when he’s singing. Every song that was sung, every banjo – drum – and guitar that was played was absolute perfection. For less than $30 you can see one of the best shows you’ll ever see. You will dance, you will clap – and when it’s over, you’ll be dying to see them again.
See them now – on this tour – while it’s still affordable (I saw Lady Gaga in Portland in 2008 for less than $20, and now that would be impossible). Mumford and Sons have the talent to take them to the next level. So now – while they’re playing the private and absolutely perfect intimate venues – do yourself a favor, and see them NOW. (Check here to see if they’re coming near you!)
Unfortunately all of their concerts (that as of now are posted) are sold out. But keep your eyes and ears open for giveaways in your area. You don’t want to miss them when they come near you.
What’s with the glasses? I so want her to be pretty, but she fights the hotness every time I see her!

AskMen today announced the results of their annual reader survey: the Top 49 Most Influential Men of 2010, with Jon Stewart from The Daily Show claiming the No. 1 position after over half a million votes were cast. Now in its fifth year, the Top 49 Most Influential Men challenges AskMen’s 16 million monthly readers to determine which male figures have made the biggest impact, and ultimately, shaped what it means to be a modern man in 2010.
“It seems that this year in particular, our readers have chosen unlikely influencers; guys who don’t always play by the rules, and in many cases, created their own norms in opposition to the current times,” comments James Bassil, Editor-in-Chief of AskMen. “Jon Stewart earned his title by speaking frankly, and in the process, successfully engaging millions of ordinary citizens in politics.
The men honored on this year’s Top 49 Most Influential Men list demonstrate a rule-breaker ethic that has transformed their respective industries. Mark Zuckerberg’s social network has profoundly changed the way the world interacts with one another and James Franco proved that he is more than just a movie star by enrolling in four graduate programs, publishing a book, alongside making a series of experimental short films. This year’s list even includes Steven Slater, the JetBlue employee turned folk hero who had the gumption to say enough is enough.
The complete roster of this year’s Top 49 Most Influential Men, including profiles of each honoree, can be found at www.AskMen.com.
I’m not going to lie – I was very surprised to see who made #5 on the list. In order, the Top 49 are… click here!
