Danielle Staub's Past Set As Fall Series
NYPost.com:
Somebody warn Danielle Staub, the “Real Housewives of New Jersey” misfit, that her story is about to become a new TV series.
The out-of-print crime book, “Cop Without a Badge,” that came back to haunt her -- outlining her past arrest for drug and kidnapping charges -- has been put into development by a major Hollywood studio, according to a new posting yesterday on IMDB, the show-business Internet directory.
Sony Pictures, producers of “Seinfeld,” “Breaking Bad” and “Damages,” is shopping the series to several networks for a fall 2012 start.
The book is about former con-man Kevin Maher, who was recruited out of prison in the 1980s to become an undercover informant for the New York Police Department and FBI.
Danielle -- then living under her birth name, Beverly Merrill -- was Maher’s girlfriend during those years. He met her in Miami while she was out on bail on drug and kidnapping charges, according to the book.
No stars will be hired until at least early next year, when Sony is set to make a pilot of the series.
The book -- which includes a grainy-but-unmistakable mug shot of Danielle -- had been long out of print until one of the New Jersey “Housewives” reportedly found it in a local library.
It became one of the major bones of contention in the reality show’s first season when the matriarch “Housewife” Caroline Manzo brandished the book at a dinner party with Danielle. Because of Danielle’s sordid past outlined in it, she was not allowed to join their social circle, the “Housewives” said.
The TV series is set to be written by veteran TV writer David Black, a “Law & Order” alumnus with a list of credits that goes back to “Miami Vice,” and Charles Kipps, a former “Cosby Mysteries” writer and author of the Conor Bard series of mystery books.
Since the “Jersey Housewives” notoriety, the book has been re-published.
Insiders say NBC may be the most likely candidate to pick up the series because it owns Bravo, the cable channel that created the “Real Housewives” franchise.
Danielle left the “Jersey Housewives” series last year.
She spent her final season no longer trying to get into the group of well-to-do Franklin Lakes women but going to war with them at social functions and through the local gossip jungle telegraph system.

Danielle Staub Explains Why She Went Back To Stripping
RealityTea.com:
Former Real Housewives of New Jersey star Danielle Staub managed to do the unthinkable earlier this year, which is shocking the public.
Back in May, TMZ posted photos of Danielle, who was a prostitution whore stripper and an escort in her younger days, stripping for Scores Gentleman’s Club in New York. It was revealed that the 48-year-old mother of two had decided to become a stripper again… at age 48. A day after those pictures came out, Danielle revealed she had quit stripping and was seeking psychological help. Well today, she is now revealing the reasons for her choices.
“That’s in litigation right now,” says Danielle (Scores filed a $375,000 lawsuit against her for breach of contract). “I wasn’t handled properly, I’m going to put it that way. But I wasn’t there to do what ended up being and if you look at my eyes all I can say is you can see something is wrong. Something went very wrong.”
The deal with Scores was a three-year contract with the strip club to make live appearances at the clothes optional establishment.
A friend of Danielle’s also defends her to the Huffington Post. “Why as a celebrity does she need to walk back into that kind of stuff?” the friend who considers Danielle a big star, asks. “She already had a show lined up. She left one show and was going to another. She didn’t need to do that.”
Danielle Staub Sex Tape Lawsuit Will Go Forward
RadarOnline.com:
Real Housewives of New Jersey star Danielle Staub has a sex tape scandal that just won’t go away. RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned that a judge in the Morris County Superior Court ruled against Staub in her motion to dismiss a lawsuit she claims is frivolous, filed by her ex-boyfriend Stephen Zalewski in court on Friday.
Zalewski sued Staub in 2010 for defamation of character and harassment after she claimed that he filmed a sex tape without her knowledge or consent in the episode of the RHONJ titled “Play At Your Own Risk.” The sex tapes have never been released to the public.
Zalewski’s attorney Nace Naumoski exclusively told RadarOnline.com: “Stephen never hid a camera. Accusing someone of hiding cameras is terrible. It’s not only defamatory; it is a third degree crime in New Jersey.” Zalewski’s lawsuit is a civil case.
“We were pleased that the judge said the case was not frivolous,” Naumoski said. “The main thing that we want to happen is for Danielle to stop making these statements. I don’t think she gets it so I want her to realize that there are consequences for her actions.”
Danielle Staub Talks New Reality Show: "Famous Food", Disses Teresa Giudice
USmagazine.com:
She's baaaack!Sad. But I guess where there's money to be made Danielle Staub will always be useful.
After a hair-pulling, table-flipping September 2010 exit from Bravo's Real Housewives of New Jersey, one of reality TV's most hated villains, Danielle Staub, is back to stir up more drama, this time in the kitchen on VH1's Famous Food.
Ahead of Sunday's premiere, Staub, 48, offers five reasons to watch the competition series costarring Heidi Montag and Jake Pavelka. At stake on Famous Food? Seven celebs will battle for bragging rights and a gig as partner of the Los Angeles-based Dolce restaurant group.
"This is my chance to do something a little different [on reality TV]," Staub tells Us Weekly. "Rather than fighting for my life [like on Housewives], it's a chance to fight for a restaurant and to show my children a different side of their mom on TV."
For more from Staub -- including her thoughts on Montag ("not the sharpest tool in the shed," she snipes) and the show's biggest blowout fights -- check out the exclusive clip above!
Danielle Staub To Fight "Teen Mom" Jenelle Evans
TheStir.cafemom.com:
You've got to hand it to Jenelle Evans. We've spent months shaking our heads at the Teen Mom 2 star's utter lack of direction in life, but good news y'all! It's landing her a job fighting Real Housewives of New Jersey star Danielle Staub! And we get to stand on the sidelines and snicker.RELATED: 'DWTS' Chelsea Kane: I Might Be Related to 'Real Housewives' Star Danille Staub
After the knock-down drag-out fight that landed the teenager in jail, and put Evans neck and neck with Amber Portwood as angriest Teen Mom star ever, the Celebrity Boxing Foundation showed up to try to bail her out of trouble. In exchange, they're trying to put Evans in the ring with Staub, one of the crankiest housewives ... which is saying a lot now, isn't it?
It's pretty clear what the "foundation" gets out of this. They want to gain notoriety, natch. And moo-lah. Evans gets out of jail -- the "foundation" has said they'll pay off Brittany Truett, the girl who Evans beat up, to drop the charges. She gets to act like a misguided teenager in front of thousands of people and get PAID for it. Oh wait, she has that job already. Anyhoo. Staub has got a line of people suing her for money; she could use the cash.
So what do WE get out of this?
Hello! Let's repeat this. Jenelle Evans fighting Danielle Staub. Two of reality TV's cattiest, dirtiest fighters, in the ring, TOGETHER.
Slip of the Tongue? Danielle Staub Calls Italian-Americans Offensive 'G-Word'
FoxNews.com:
Former “Real Housewives of New Jersey” star Danielle Staub is set to star in the new VH1 show, “Famous Food,” alongside Heidi Montag and Jake Pavelka.
However, we couldn’t help but lose our reality television appetite after a phone interview with Staub, who was promoting the restaurant-related series.
“I am definitely a foodie; people underestimate how much I eat because I am small. I can eat like a man,” Staub told FOX411’s Pop Tarts. “Even when I was eight years old, even though I was adopted, I knew my heritage was Italian, and I hated the American food my parents made. So I learned to hang with my Guinea friends and whenever I would taste a dish I would go to the store and reproduce the dish.”
Hold up – did she just use the G-word?
According to the Urban Dictionary, “Guinea” is a racial slur used against an Italian-Americans. And unlike the "N-word," which some African-Americans sometimes use to address each other, or even "Guido," another Italian American slur which is bandied about shows like "Jersey Shore," no Italian-American would ever address another Italian-American using this term.
Indeed several Italian-Americans we talked to were deeply offended by Staub’s vocabulary.
“It's an offensive term that should be never used and is unacceptable. People should have better judgment,” said John Marino, National Executive Director at the National Italian American Foundation (NIAF). “It is both regrettable and alarming that she would use such a pejorative term, which reinforces a negative image and harmful stereotype of an entire ethnic group. Our society has made great strides in diversity and towards tolerance and has rightly cast aside the 'G–word' along with similar slurs directed at other ethnic, racial and religious groups.”

Danielle Staub Stops Stripping, Seeks Psychological Help
Well, that was quick. Kudos if she's serious about getting help because she needs boatloads:
Former Real Housewives of New Jersey star Danielle Staub tells PEOPLE she walked away after her stripping appearance and is seeking treatment for psychological problems rooted in childhood sexual abuse.
"I have addictions with love and low self-esteem, and I need help!" Staub, 48, says after photos of her dancing nude at Scores in New York appeared on the Internet.
"My low self-esteem derived from childhood sexual abuse has messed with my mind and self-worth, and over the years I thought about getting help but pushed it deep into the depths of denial," she says. "For years I have had the suicide hotline on my cell phone and would like nothing more than to free myself from this constant pressure.
"Seeing how I have hurt myself and my family this time," she continues, "I can no longer push it behind me."
The reality star, who is currently working on a new show with Heidi Montag and Jake Pavelka, says she has "sought out" Dr. Drew Pinsky for assistance.
Staub says she was "coaxed" into signing the appearance with Scores by her past handlers, but adds, "I have to own my mistakes and can't blame others." She says she has since "walked away" from the deal.

Report: Danielle Staub Dating Ray J
Popeater.com:
Rapper Ray J and former 'The Real Housewives of New Jersey' cast member, Danielle Staub, are dating, MediaTakeOut.com reports.From Kim Kardasian to Danielle Staub?!? Sad to see Ray-J go down like that.
Staub, who left 'Housewives' after two explosive seasons, was photographed locking lips with the 'Brandy & Ray J: A Family Business' star. Wielding a glass of champagne, the 48-year-old mother of two looks carefree as she puckers up to Norwood, 18 years her junior.
Love hasn't been easy for Staub. Her criminal past was revealed during the first season of 'Houswives' when cast members confronted her about Charles Kipps's book 'Cop Without a Badge' which exposes Kevin Maher, one of Staub's ex-husbands, as an undercover FBI informant. She was also accused of leaking her own sextape in 2010.
Norwood's ultimately unsuccessful quest for true love was captured by cameras on 'For the Love of Ray J' in 2009 and 2010.
Although she walked away from her role on 'Housewives,' Staub can't seem to part with reality TV and was recently spotted filming a "food-related" series for VH1 with Heidi Montag and Jake Pavelka of 'The Bachelor.'
7 Craziest 'Real Housewives' of All Time
I love these kind of lists:
Atlanta -- Kim Zolciak. Some of you were probably immediately thinking NeNe Leakes here (who is by far the most entertaining), but we’re going to have to go with Kim. Kim is more ... unsettling crazy. Her smoking, her drinking, her taking advantage of Kandi, her dating women then dating men, her outfit when she recorded "Tardy for the Party"! If you sit down and make a list (like some insane people we know), Kim comes out on top.
New York -- Kelly Bensimon. We must admit, Kelly definitely seems more “sane” this season -- and Sonja Morgan seems more crazy. Actually, Sonja kind of seems like a totally different person, which is a major bummer, because she was our second favorite last season (behind Bethenny Frankel, of course). What’s up with all her diva behavior, pecking order talk, and her forgetting to wear pants?!
However, nothing will ever top Kelly on Scary Island last year, manic and running around with gummy bears. You have to do some other-worldly nutso stuff to top that. And as weird as Sonja’s acting this season (and how odd Ramona Singer is in general), Kelly still has them beat.
Danielle Staub Sued By Swan Media Owner
Adweek.com:
Former Real Housewives of New Jersey star Danielle Staub, whose checkered past and sex tape upstaged the antics of the other wives on the show, is being sued for $350,000 by the owner of the Penthouse Executive strip club for violating a contract.Can't blame the Manzo's or Teresa for this one.
Staub, who was reported to be a “paid escort” and was busted by the FBI for cocaine sale and possession in the '80s, failed to appear for a live Web chat and bailed out on postproduction voiceover work following a video she shot for Swan Media Group, according to the suit.
Swan is owned by Robert Gans and is operated from the same office as one of his Manhattan strip clubs.
It is unclear what type of video it was, but Staub was paid $25,000 in November 2010 for her services, according to the suit.
Under the terms of the contract, Staub would split the proceeds from the sale of the video 50/50 with the media company. She would also be paid extra for any appearances that she made at Scores, another strip club owned by Gans.
In February, the desperate housewife broke off communication with the video company and refused to accept a legal letter at her North Bergen, N.J., home, Swan Media’s lawyer claims.
Danille Staub Being Sued For Breach Of Contract
Anybody who chooses to do business with a dirty, no-talent, lying schemer like Danielle Staub deserves the consequences:
An infamous former "Real Housewife of New Jersey" is being sued for $375,000 after allegedly failing to promote a commercial she shot for a company whose president owns two of the city's top strip joints.
Danielle Staub, a former cast member of the "Real Housewives of New Jersey," signed a $25,000 contract last year to star in a video for Swan Media Group, according to papers filed yesterday in Manhattan federal court.
But the Botoxed brunette, the papers allege, never fulfilled her contractual obligation to promote the video -- which would have included a "live video chat session" -- and ditched the company in February.
Robert Gans, the president of the Hell's Kitchen-based marketing firm, also owns the mammary meccas Penthouse Executive Club and Scores.
Staub, 48, who was despised by her "Housewives" castmates, was booted off the show after the second season. She gained further infamy last year after appearing in a widely circulated sex tape.
Neither Gans nor Staub's managers responded to requests for comment.
Danielle Staub Fires Back at 'Housewife' Teresa Giudice
Popeater.com:
Last month, 'Real Housewives of New Jersey' star Teresa Giudice shockingly revealed that she "misses Danielle Staub." Seriously!?Of course, Teresa didn't say anything bad about her, but again Danielle just can't avoid creating drama even when there is none.
The only person more shocked than us was Staub, who left the Bravo reality show after two seasons. She sat down with PopEater to set the record straight, adding that "the feeling isn't mutual."
"I am so happy with my life after leaving ['Housewives']. It wasn't funny to me. It was very painful," she tells PopEater.
Staub, who became known for her controversial on-screen catfights, has moved on with at least two reality shows in the works, including 'Social,' her new 'Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous'-like program.
"I'm really happy in my life," she says. "I have so much that I've just begun to do."
Teresa Giudice "Kinda" Misses Danielle Staub
Examiner.com:
Despite all the drama Danielle Staub created on Bravo's Real Housewives of New Jersey, castmate Teresa Giudice admitted that she actually misses the drama queen's antics on the show.Missing a woman who gave you and your family nothing but grief all your life?!? Once again proof that Teresa Giudice is not popular because of her brains.
Teresa, who was signing copies of her new cookbook Skinny Italian, talked openly about her role on Real Housewives of New Jersey during a sit-down dinner with VIP guests.
When asked whether she was happy that Danielle Staub wasn't returning for the third season of the show, she admitted "I kinda miss her."
Giudice will be returning to season three with former castmates Caroline Manzo and Jacquelin Laurita. It promises to be an interesting season while viewers follow Teresa and her family through their new life now that they've filed bankruptcy.

Apparently, two once-upon-a-time close friends of Danielle Staub, Kim G & Danny Provenzano, will be hosting this event together along with Jersey Shore's Angelina Pivarnick & Celebrity Magnet, Tom Murro.
That's right, this weekend Jersey Shore meets Real Housewives of New Jersey - but wait, it only gets better because Millionaire Matchmaker's David Yontef will also be attending this Mob Candy event with Angelina's enemy, Kerry Schwartz (from Frank The Entertainer).
If you think that sounds interesting enough, this is the icing on the cake - I was told that Danielle Staub herself is most likely stopping by to stir things up at the event as well!
This might just top Bravo's reunion from the last season of Real Housewives of New Jersey - this is going to be the real deal, you will not want to miss this at all.
Admission to the event is only $75, however you can reserve VIP seating for $100.
