Confirmed: 'Housewives' Danielle Staub lands new TV gig
She might not be invited to dine with the Manzos, but "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" is not the last we've seen of Danielle Staub.
The Ministry has confirmed that the controversial brunett has been tapped to host "Social!," a new reality program for Wealth TV, available only on HDTV.
"Danielle is absolutely on board, we've signed her," executive producer Cary Sandoval said.
The news was originally reported by Hollywood Life.
"I’m replacing Robin Leach basically, of 'Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous,' but with a twist,” she told the website. “There will be more socializing with the rich and famous celebrities, and we’ll show how they give back as well.”
No word on who the subjects of the show will be, but Staub is a lock. We can't wait to hear your thoughts on this in the comments section below. Seriously.

Sounds about right. A tiny network no one watches takes on a woman no one wants to watch ( except for the few supporters). This won't last long...

I hope Wealth TV has someone on staff who will pat her and her entourage down for weapons each day. My opinion of her as a personality aside, she puts people in danger. Just ask the Bravo crew that was filming that if they were comfy about that when they found out.

Someone who I'd rather forget on a channel I've never heard of.
There is a God.

Vomit.
Real Housewives is a vehicle for a very narrow brand of trash TV. The fact that sit launches anything passing for a continued career says even more about the degradation of the entertainment media.
Although I am impressed that she managed to not even manage a lateral move. Comcast doesn't even offer Wealth TV in my market, keeping Danielle right where she belongs... "Out of sight, out of mind"

I had decided after last HNJ that if Danielle was still on I would not lower myself to anymore of her lies, thank god it isn't on Bravo.

Ewww who wants to watch her ...She is totally nasty!

This woman is a crazy nut job. She is evil and disgusting. I feel sorry for her girls. Their dad needs to step up and take them away from Danielle before it is to late. This is another example of how low our values in this country have dropped. People don't need to get rich and famous from bad behavior.

I am SO HAPPY I don't have HD and will never have to be subjected to this heartless psycho again. I cannot stand this lying conniving low-life bitch.

I did not watch the Bethany spin-off and I will not watch this. Enough all ready.....did Danielld's "mafia" threaten someone to give her a show?????

I won't be watching. I swore last year that if she was invited back to RHONJ, I wouldn't watch it. I'm so glad she's gone. Now if they can just get Dina back, that show might be fun to watch again. I hope Danielle's girls are in a healthier place very soon. They seem like genuinely good kids in a horrid situation. Danielle draws troubles like a magnet, and she's dangerous to be around.

WOW!!! this should be interesting, but I hope you don't portray her as the problematic person she was, on Housewifes.That gets old, in seeing the same old, make believe,junk on the tube.It would be nice to view an intellegent Danielle who carries herself like a lady with brains!!! and not all the unnecessary drama. We can view tha on Daytime Soaps!!!Danielle needs to place a shocker on the world with a new look and image. People like to be surprise on new media development, and not the same character. Try it!!!

You cant be serious has anyone at her new station watch the RHONJ Danielle is truly scary and paranoid. She stalked the cast on TV and the world watched. She needs to get help which I believe should include a cocktail of the right prescriptions and leave the innocent people alone. I do get this channel but now that I just read this it will never be on in my home

I can't wait; we have been waiting to see her.
She is so full of live and an inspiration for person being Bullied and up against all odds.
I really like her

I find her to be disgutsting...I don't like anything about her...She is why I stopped watching housewives..Thank goodness she is gone and I can tune back in...I think you have a loser on your hands..I know I will never tune in..Good luck..

Wow, just when I rhought tv was safe without Ms. Staub. This woman is talentless....ugly, and needs some charm and grace. She is course, ruddy looking aged brunette with no acting talent.

Transvestite? Who is this man looking woman?
Posted by: Rider | Jan 13, 2011 at 10:11 AM
Good for her, I wish Danielle only the best, just wish I had HDTV. Needless to say I won't be watching RHNJ since Danielle is no longer on it. They will more than likely only have this one season left, since they all are so self absorbed, and so unforgiving.
