This is the fourth story in four weeks about Teresa Giudice of Real Housewives of New Jersey. All of the stories have been in In Touch or Weekly Life & Style, two magazines owned by the German conglomerate Bauer. They say the magazines have separate editorial boards and different foci, but they seem to me just as joined at the hip as the AMI kennel is.

Every version of Real Housewives produces a breakout star, which invariably means there is one psycho bitch that that makes all the other psycho bitches look sane and reasonable. In Real Housewives of New Jersey this season, it's Teresa Giudice. Here are the headlines.

• Housewives exclusive interview
• Husband Joe Fumes, "I'm leaving"
• Fights over money, booze & jealousy
• "I'm embarrassed for my kids," she confesses

Embarrassment for her kids? OMG, what kind of weak psycho bitch is she? These women are supposed to be at least as bad as Sarah Palin, but this woman seems to have both some self-awareness and compassion towards others.

Some producer at Real Housewives slipping if this is the worst villain they could find.
