Plus, Richie and Kathy Wakile’s marriage is tested as they move forward with their cannoli business.
Relationships are pushed to their limits and the idea of marriage is questioned on the June 30 episode of The Real Housewives of New Jersey.
Richard & Kathy Wakile Argue Over Their Business
Richard and Kathy Wakile have teamed up to sell her famous cannolis. Unfortunately, they don’t agree on a lot of things, including the packaging that Richie picks out. Kathy wants a light blue box with a ribbon, but Richie picks out a plain white cardboard box.
Richie feels his decisions should be final. “I married a housewife, not an entrepreneur,” Richard says in his confessional. (This is why it’s never a good idea to mix business with pleasure.)
To make matters worse, Richie takes it upon himself to purchase a kitchen, outside of the house, for Kathy to work in.

"Real Housewives of New Jersey" star Caroline Manzo once labeled her daughter, Lauren, as "eight pounds of sausage in a five-pound bag" -- but not anymore. The 24-year-old has slimmed down from 185 pounds to 155 following Sept. 21 lap band surgery.
"Getting the lap band was the best thing I've ever done in my life," Lauren tells Us Weekly. "When I first got it, I didn't want to tell anybody. So many fans related to my struggle, I didn't want to feel like I was letting them down."
Lauren had previously tried programs like Jenny Craig, Weight Watchers and La Weight Loss to drop the pounds.
As for her mom's comments about her weight, Lauren says it was a motivation for her. Incidentally, her dad, Albert Manzo, has also had lap band surgery, losing around 100 pounds.

"The Real Housewives of New Jersey's" Caroline Manzo is pretty used to controversy, but it's her husband, businessman Albert Manzo, who's finding himself in the middle of a storm right now.
New Jersey Governor Chris Christie has asked the house husband for an immediate resignation from his post as a Commissioner at the North Jersey District Water Supply saying he abused the public's trust.
"I don't think Governor Christie is personally attacking us," Albert tells Zap2it exclusively. "I just think the guy's got a certain contempt for every agency. He thinks they're all crooked. And we want to sweep everybody out with one big broad brush. But, if you look at our water utility, it's a model for water utilities or any regional commission."

Trenton, N.J. — Gov. Chris Christie is picking a fight with the husband of one of the stars of "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" reality show.
Christie this week suspended Albert Manzo, the husband of Caroline Manzo, from the North Jersey District Water Supply Commission, saying he and another commissioner abused the public's trust.

He also owns The Brownstone restaurant in urban Paterson, which hosts weddings and special events, and lists that as his official address – something Christie on Thursday called absurd.
"Do you really believe he's sleeping on a cot at the Brownstone in Paterson?" Christie asked.

Danielle underwent her own “renewal” process on last night’s episode of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, echoing her sister from across the river, Ramona. But this “new” Danielle was not the result of extensive psychotherapy, a lengthy stay in an ashram, or even a new-found career, but rather from going under the knife for her fourth breast augmentation. In her defense, her implants have caused a staph infection and generally feel hard and cold every moment of every day. (Gross). After a taking a few photos of her chest (which Danielle seemed all too eager to pose for,...
