Just don’t look for them sitting next to her. Hard as this is to imagine, Griffin told me she would feel encumbered with celebrities surrounding her, actually having to worry about hurting someone’s feelings or, God forbid, listening to someone promote their latest whatever. She favors having her friends and family [...]

And if you think all has been forgiven from the fiery Season 3 reunion shows … ah, you don’t really think that, do you? Looks like even wayward Jersey housewife Dina Manzo makes at least one peacemaking cameo appearance, as well (hurray!!!), and Housewife hanger-on Kim DePaola continues to hanger-on whilst sporting some serious Lady Godiva hair extensions.
