Blurbal Perspective

...and the good news just keeps on comin'! Jacqueline Laurita of "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" confirmed to social media followers that her 25-year-old daughter Ashlee Holmes is pregnant with her first child. "Yes, that’s right! I’m going to be a #Glamma! @ashleenicholexx @c3peteo #SOExcited!" Ashlee Holmes shared the news on Instagram on Friday, saying: "Had so much fun at @thelittlekernel launch party tonight!! @c3peteo and I are so happy to announce that we’re sprouting a little kernel of our own *coming this fall*!!!" Last month, Holmes confirmed her engagement to Pete Malleo. My Two Cents: I've been following RHONJ for some time, and I remember how immature and selfish Ashlee Holmes was when she was younger. It is heartwarming to see her so happy and so grown up. She has come a very long way. She should be very proud of how far she's come. Congrats to the entire family!

Christmas has come early for 'Real Housewives of New Jersey' star Teresa Giudice, and her family. The 43-year-old was released from prison early Wednesday morning after close to a year in the Danbury Correctional Facility in Danbury, Connecticut. Giudice pleaded guilty to 4 counts of fraud last year. Some of the charges brought up against her included conspiracy to commit wire and mail fraud. She also pleaded guilty to bankruptcy fraud. Her husband, Joe, is set to report to prison next year for pleading guilty to the same charges. He will be serving a 41-month sentence. My Two Cents: I can't wait to see how her release from prison plays out next season. Should be quite interesting.
