File this under Horrifying But Hypnotic (and Things That Are Classy): The cash-strapped Teresa Giudice of The Real Housewives of New Jersey is hosting a party at the Funkey Monkey — the self-proclaimed “hottest night club to hit Wilmington!” — on Saturday, Sept. 25. According to the club’s web site, she’ll be taking photographs and signing copies of her book, Skinny Italian. There will also be a table-flipping contest “for all the ladies!” with great prizes and giveaways. How does one win a table-flipping contest? Is it by the amount of destruction one does, like how many table settings you send crashing to the floor? Or is it all style points? In which case, we’d prepare to recreate the bleep-filled, Danielle-focused tirade that accompanied Teresa’s memorable table flip on the show. I want to say “good for her” for having a sense of humor, but even though that sort of behavior makes great TV, I don’t know that I’d want to celebrate it in real life… Which is why if I lived in Wilmington, I would just watch the contest and not enter.
UPDATE: Funkey Monkey owner Bill Stradley tells EW he has not decided on the criteria for the table-flipping contest, which is simply part of his “theme night,” but says he’ll have Giudice judge it. “It’s harmless,” Stradley stresses, noting that he was just having this conversation with Bravo. “She personally is not gonna flip a table. It’s not in any way demeaning or degrading.”

Ugh, this woman will do ANYTHING for money. It’s pathetic.
You kind of have to give her a break. She’s in a lot of financial trouble. If hosting stupid-but-harmless parties is a quick way to make money … you know you’d do it too.
Give her a break? Are you serious? She was the one that created her current situation by spending money that she didn’t have, $11 million dollars worth! She deserves everything that is happening to her and more, like jail time.
Teresa’s new name should be “The New Situation!!”
..sounds about right…
Just another reason us in PA consider Delaware the Slower Lower
Yes, I must admit it, I am hooked on the series. The way I look at it is people in Delaware are not only the Slower Lower, we are down right bored out of our minds. Wish I could move but stuck here and hate it so shows like Housewives gives me somthing to look forward to every week. Sorry to see D go, perhaps they should put me in her place, I am Italian, parents come from Naples just like Teresa,s clan. Lived in Brooklyn all my life and I too love to shop beyound my means. The way I see it, I could be a part of the family, only thing I do not do is make fresh tomato sauce but for some coins I could learn real fast and in my spare time I could make bows for Teresa’s kids hair.
Hey, at least she’s trying to make that paper instead of just whining. She caused the problem, but you can’t blame someone for using what they have to make some money. Oh and I hear the book has some really great recipes.
I’m from Delaware and I must say, I’m pretty excited to see us get a shout-out on PopWatch…even if it for something completely ridiculous, ha ha.
are you going to attend the event, trying to get some family members interested but no luck so far.
I love the real house wives shows on bravo; however, Teresa on the house wives of New Jersey is a NEANDERTHAL! It is evident in her low-brow hairline–it almost blends in with her eyebrows, it’s prehistoric and so is she. Her propensity towards violence is yet another clue. No wonder she had such an intense reaction when she thought that Danielle implied that she was stupid. The truth hurts.
